A budget is a moral document.
Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:
This is how you write a goddamn headline.
The reason we have “stupid rules of engagement” is to make sure we don’t bomb elementary schools.
The U.S. war on Iran is now estimated to cost $1 billion per day. Meanwhile Americans are told there’s no money for healthcare, hospitals, or basic social programs.
Moskowitz: "Let me congratulate the former Homeland Security Secretary on her appointment to be the Shield of Americas, which I'm pretty sure the president came up with when he watched the last Avengers movie"
Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.
But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.
You know I think a political party that celebrates a veteran having his arm broken because he was protesting is a political party that doesn't give a shit when our servicemembers die in Iran
The Federal Book Ban bill uses funding threats to pressure schools to remove books.
Federal control over local policy - and federal control of reading, writing, and publishing - is unacceptable.

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.
Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.
The inconvenient TRUTH about social media. History happens to catch up with you in the end #TrumpTheWarCriminal and your ILLEGAL #TrumpsEpsteinWar.
🎩 I don’t think a five time draft dodger should be able to send anyone into war!
I hate how accurate this tweet is.
Sociopaths, particularly stupid ones, don't plan much.
Before and after you sell your soul to the devil.
I'm funding a launching a new cat show in which I'm the judge. I hug each cat, tell the owner their cat is perfect, and then we all hang out and talk about our cats.
Auston Matthews walks into the gaudiest Oval Office in history to meet the worst president in the history of the U.S., Donald Trump - a man who has been found guilty of sexual assault, and who is very credibly accused of multiple instances of pedophilia.
Auston Matthews said, “I don’t like to get political or get into that kind of stuff,” and that Trump’s casual misogyny about the women’s team was “unfortunate.”
It would be “unfortunate” if Leafs fans get “political and stuff” on Saturday and boo Matthews into oblivion when he steps onto the ice.
Sociopaths are terrific at spotting other sociopaths.

ICE is struggling to keep pace with vetting new hires during its historic recruitment push, so it's hiring officers before completing standard checks.
The agency fired five people after belatedly finding that they had outstanding warrants for their arrest.

I think we need to take a step back and acknowledge the absurdity of House Republicans targeting their Epstein investigation on HILLARY CLINTON (who says she never met him!) while ignoring DONALD TRUMP (who Epstein described as his best friend!)
These are not serious people or good faith actors.
People are always like what’s something you miss from the past and one of mine is antitrust laws
Pulling this shit while the president extracts billions for his family and is currently demanding taxpayers give him $10 billion is pretty goddamned rich.
That's a remarkably corrupt statement. He is not saying Gonzales did nothing wrong. He is saying institutional survival of the majority overrides ethical accountability. The seat matters more than the man's fitness to hold it. The bar was already low and yet he just dug a basement.
The entire NHL is a nightmare tbh. In a normal world, Gary Bettman doesn’t survive this, is replaced with someone more progressive and the entire league gets a PR overhaul & media training.
Our federal government killed a disabled genocide survivor and is covering up for a child rapist. And that is just today’s news. It is just unconscionable to be treating this as normal or acceptable in any way.

The New York Rangers expect me, a woman, to come back and watch the rest of the season after I watched the people who run the organization and two of its players laugh at female athletes. I think I’m good on hockey for the rest of the season. It’s been, like, really ruined.
