A graphic containing a title saying 2024 Total Eligible Voter Breakdown A pie chart below the title showing Kamala Harris in blue with 30.8% of votes equaling 75,017,613, Third Party candidates in white with 1.1% of the votes equaling 2,604,315, Donald Trump in red with 31.8% of the votes equaling 77,302,580, and Americans who Did Not Vote in black with 36.3% of the votes equaling 89,428,588 Below the pie chart it says more eligible Americans voted for someone other than trump, more eligible Americans did not vote at all, than voted for either candidate. Not a landslide, not a mandate. Stop letting them lie to you. Below the captions are the two sources cited for the data with their websites as well as QR codes linking to them And the username of who created the graphic @jordancarangelo

Several asked for one that also included total eligible voters vs just submitted votes.

This continues to be the biggest story in the country: DOGE has already squandered half a trillion dollars in 6 weeks. Not billion. half a trillion, $500 billion talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/irs-p...

Reports are coming in that Trump-era ICE agents have arrested even American-born citizens during raids. If you’re just heading to work or the grocery store, how would you prove you’re an American? This is getting out of hand—Americans have a right to privacy.

EXCLUSIVE: This just happened onstage in front of 6,000 Bostonians at the Dropkick Murphys concert. "This is America, no kings here!" @dropkickmurphys.com nails it again!!

I love this band even more after last night

1/ This is wildly illegal. That is not a question on which reasonable legally informed folks can disagree.

It doesn't fucking matter that he ran on doing illegal things. They are still illegal.

And striking at Congress's power of the purse is worse than illegal. It's anti-constitutional.

So this is the director of the OMB telling Congress very explicitly "it doesn't matter what dumbass appropriations bill you pass, we're gonna do what we want."

So It Begins: The Disappearing of Mahmoud Khalil and Authoritarian Capture The Trump Administration kidnapped a legal permanent resident and shuffled him through an authoritarian maze. We're witnessing the beginnings of something terrifying

The disappearing of Mahmoud Khalil, a person with permanent legal status in the US, should be a red line that everyone should recognize.

They knocked on his door and vanished him into an authoritarian system without a trace.

Your door could be next.

As bell hooks said, class matters

That is correct.

Putin can’t believe his luck. Here is Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov on Trump: “The new administration is fast changing all foreign policy configurations…This coincides with our vision in many ways.”

Trump now backs dictatorship, not democracy. We cannot allow that to stand.

I don’t think I want to fly anymore

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Breaking: FDA's March meeting to select flu shot strains for 2025-2026 season has been canceled per email sent to committee members, a VRBPAC member told me. drug companies need about 6 months leeway to make shots in time for fall vax campaigns. #healthpolicy

Trump's Medicaid cuts would leave millions without health care The human cost will be brutal—unless a few Republicans develop spines.

As @metrauxjulia.bsky.social's crucial reporting shows, tens of thousands of people die each year waiting for the government to decide if they’re "disabled enough" to receive SSI.

Work requirements only deepen this cruelty—forcing those too sick to work to prove they "deserve" Medicaid coverage.

the line about how trump is just trolling or joking about the “king” thing is belied somewhat by the fact that his administration’s explicit position is he can do whatever he wants and that everyone in every branch of government needs to bow to his demands or be banished

And they can’t afford many of the things wealthier people rely on to alleviate stress

The Craftsman I was going to make a noose, but instead I made a basket.

This feels like the best thing right now

"They want the country to collapse. A depopulated, partitioned US is easier to exploit and control. To them, the state is just something to sell. They do not care if the buyers are foreign or domestic."

Years ago, after the Cambridge Analytica scandal, I interviewed a former fb employee, and I remember her continually emphasizing that these tech bros weren't evil geniuses, but were, in fact, dangerous because they were utterly clueless, totally reckless, and had too much power.

Notable that Elons crew of incels and edgelords are full fledged men for the purposes of being given the keys to car to run the govt. But for the purposes of being accountable for their actions they’re just kids from good families with youthful indiscretions.

BREAKING -- Trump says he's kicking undocumented immigrants out of Social Security.

One small problem, though -- undocumented immigrants are ALREADY ineligible for Social Security benefits.

You know, because they don't have Social Security numbers. Because they're undocumented.

Here’s one thing that I’m watching with Donald Trump’s tariffs:

Which billionaires and giant corporations will buy themselves loopholes?

In his 1st term, well-connected insiders got tariff waivers.

This is one more way to make corporate CEOs kiss Trump's ring.

Elon Musk’s companies—Tesla and SpaceX—have received billions in government contracts and subsidies. Yet, this issue is largely ignored. Isn’t it time we started holding corporations accountable for the massive burden they place on taxpayers?

If GSA sold 7,500 buildings at once, the question is who would buy them.

Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union gives us the answer to that: a handful of oligarchs. They'd get billions of dollars in real state for a song, which they could lease back to government for a handsome profit.
