The U.S. government spent $710 billion in Trump’s first month, an increase from the same period a year prior. Cost-cutting efforts are ineffective, and job losses are occurring without clear justification.

Musk is attempting to blame Ukraine for the X cyberattack, but word has already spread that it was a false flag. What is a false flag? A false flag operation is an act committed to disguise the actual source of responsibility and shift blame onto another party.

The Daily Chew:
Is it enough yet? #FDT

That tracks.

This is the way.

Never. Forget. Never. Forgive. ✨

We as a country will save nothing. Federal employee salaries make up just 4% of the budget—roughly $271 billion. So even if every federal worker were fired, that’s the maximum you’d save. Meanwhile, the U.S. House GOP has released a budget that raises the debt limit by $4 trillion.

If you support any of this, you’re honestly just a terrible person. People’s lives are being upended and destroyed. For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people die—yet some are celebrating.

Mr Rogers and Sesame Street taught me love, kindness, compassion, and empathy. Star Trek taught me to dream of and aspire to help create a better and more diverse world. Star Wars and Tolkien taught me to fight for freedom, even in the face of overwhelming odds and great evil.

Hey, elites, politicians, and those in power!
Dystopian novels are 𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀, not 𝗵𝗼𝘄-𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲𝘀 for building the perfect state!
You’re not supposed to read "1984" or "The Handmaid's Tale" and think, “𝘎𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘴, 𝘭𝘦𝘵’𝘴 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦.” 🙃

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

Is it just me, or does it feel like we’re being played by the Democrats as well as the Republicans? Until you DO SOMETHING stop asking me for money! 🤬🤬🤬

A tweet from 'Steven Portnoy' reporting that multiple state agencies are having difficulty accessing funding portals for emergency aid, community health centers, Medicaid, and more, following an OMB memo ordering a grant 'pause'. A quote from a state official to ABC News states, "This is sowing chaos and confusion everywhere."

MAGA: This is what you voted for. We tried to warn you.

President Trump just shut off funding for law enforcement, farmers, schools, veterans, and health care.

We are working diligently to reverse this, but we are preparing for every outcome to help Minnesotans weather this storm.

Minnesota needs answers. We’ll see Trump in court.

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: “We grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”

Literally happening as we speak

The Hegseth confirmation shows that Republican lawmakers have put party over country. They should be ashamed, but I doubt if they are.

Guys when Chris Rufo and Trump say "We're destroying DEI, we're salting the earth underneath it" and they're talking about regulations that reach back to 1965, they're not talking about corporate diversity trainings.

They are talking about civil rights

I’m struggling with the news this week. Here’s the cat that showed up in my neighborhood last year and basically forced me to adopt her.

Truth in words and picture

TikTok’s back and is a very popular topic. I’m sitting here wondering what else is going on while we are distracted.

No matter where you fall on the TikTok ban, the President undoing by “executive order” a law passed by Congress and upheld unanimously by the Supreme Court is an unconstitutional abuse of power.

This. 😆

The realest art, rawest journalism, and funniest skits ever produced by regular working class Americans of all ages was on a social media platform that our government just banned.

This pic sums up last night’s game well.

I liked TikTok because I got to be who I really am in my heart: a creepy little lurker who watches everything and says little.

Moments before TikTok was banned in the U.S.

Food for thought.
