Trump forced to concede defeat Maine's governor promised she'd see Trump in court. She just declared victory.

"Trump lost against the Maine governor. He lost against Perkins Coie. He loses 80% of cases in court. Which makes those who’ve capitulated look that much more foolish, because if they’d just fought back, they would've retained what they thought they'd lose and their dignity would still be intact."

Trump will reportedly end the IRS Direct File program that allowed taxpayers to file taxes for free.

This comes after Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the government for years to block IRS free file.

Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration.

See how this works?

This is so cool!! I can't have plants. I think when I think word has gotten out in the plant comm. that my home is where plants go to die. I had one overly dramatic plant that I kept alive and gave away when I moved. If it is vocal - pets and kids - I can keep them alive. The rest, well, so sorry.

I wish he would physically go to it. All tech billionaires and this admin need to be on that SpaceX rocket to Mars. I also think we should let Elon build it any way he wants. No regulations. Just slap that thing together as quickly as possible to get them on their way.

Trying to build a website called Turning Tables that maps tech + political elites by money, power, ideology. I’ve got a prototype started in Replit and a Joplin notebook with ideas, research + screenshots, but need help

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

He’s obviously there to destroy the country. Not to negotiate on our behalf. Putin’s bitch is doing his job exactly as expected. And the GOP continues to acquiesce.

Every dollar the US Government spends is a matter of public record and is available online. Musk isn't finding any secrets; he's exploiting his own ignorance and that of MAGAs.

This appears to be an announcement by Musk and the attorney for the Stop the Steal domestic-extremist movement (Martin, now posing as a lawman rather than a criminal) that anyone who opposes the ongoing fascist coup will be arrested and jailed.

We are getting ever closer to The Point of No Return.

What most of us consider the founders hypocrisies given their declarations about equality, they consider the actual virtues.

The thing about β€œpatriotic education” is that if you have to lie about America to love it then you probably don’t really love it. Ultimately their objection to the flawed universalism expressed in the declaration is the idea that the flaws were bad or that the universalism should be realized.

They want to ban the teaching of the unpleasant facts of American history because people might conclude injustices in the past that contribute to inequalities in the present should be rectified, instead of their belief, which is that some groups of people are inherently superior to others

Trump funding freeze a blatant violation of Constitution, federal law: Legal experts The Constitution, federal law and court decisions make it clear: President Donald Trump's order to pause federal funding is against the law, legal experts tell ABC News.

It would be fantastic if major federal institutions would acknowledge that the executive branch cannot legally unilaterally cancel or redistribute congressionally appropriated funding on ideological grounds and thus they have no legal obligation to comply with such directives
