Trump stole this from all of us.
Every American should be outraged by what Trump has done to our nation's 250th birthday celebration. What should have been a once-in-a-generation moment to unite the country has been turned into another vehicle for division, propaganda, and political gain. We uncovered how he hijacked America 250 – watch to see how.

Q: Do you regret voting to confirm Marco Rubio as Secretary of State? Sen. Chris Murphy: "It was a mistake. I think a lot of us thought that Marco Rubio was going to stand up to Donald Trump on an issue like this, when Donald Trump decided to align America with dictatorships."

Elon Musk’s takeover of the Treasury system exposes veterans’ sensitive data, increasing the risk of breaches and endangering national security. Those who served deserve protection, not exploitation. Congress MUST act now. 🔗 military.com/daily-news/2025…

💧NEW via CNN: "2.2 billion gallons of water flowed out of California reservoirs because of Trump’s order to open dams" "There are two major problems, water experts said: The newly released water will not flow to Los Angeles, and it is being wasted by being released during the wet winter season." "'They were holding extra water in those reservoirs because of the risk that it would be a dry summer,' Heather Cooley, director of research for California water policy organization the Pacific Institute. 'This puts agriculture at risk of insufficient water during the summer months." 🔗 cnn.com/2025/02/03/climate/t…

Time to accept that we simply have a mad king. The guy slapping 25% tariffs on Canada's postage while calling for its annexation - and releasing scarce water into the Central Valley to fight already-contained fires in LA - isn't doing a bit or pursuing a secret, rational strategy

Tulsi Gabbard, Trump's nominee for Director of National Intelligence, has a history of cozying up to enemy dictators. She repeats Russian propaganda regarding Ukraine and has met with Syria's Assad, refusing to call him an enemy of the U.S.

What would a foreign adversary of the United States attempting to destabilize the economy in order to jockey for a better position on the world stage do? 🤔 — Give a third party direct access to our Treasury — install compromised actors in key national security positions — institute tariffs on allies — suspend due process under the guise of arresting “criminal illegals” — cause massive unemployment by cutting govt jobs — cut foreign aid leaving a China sized hole in the world for Beijing to walk through — undermine military readiness What else would you do?

American Dachau.
Trump starts flights of immigrants to Guantanamo. Unclear under what legal authority & whether or how ppl will access court hearings they have right to under law… or to where they’d be deported. Looks like another failed (cruel) concept of a plan… politico.com/news/2025/01/31…

Read @KatherineJWu’s article. They are memory holing the entire CDC. These are essential public health & scientific data. They were generated with our tax dollars. I never imagined I’d see authoritarians deleting all the data on HIV on grounds of ideological purity. Fuck this.

An honour to have my IQ questioned by you Mr VP. But your attempts to speak for Christ are false and dangerous. Nowhere does Jesus suggest that love is to be prioritized in concentric circles. His love is universal. 🧵
Replying to @JDVance
I’ve said before and I’ll say it again: the problem with Rory and people like him is that he has an IQ of 110 and thinks he has an IQ of 130. This false arrogance drives so much elite failure over the last 40 years.

"Trump is not a strong president. He is a weak president. He has authoritarian tendencies, but he’s weak. He’s mentally weak. He is vulnerable to all sorts of manipulation." On the pod, Tim Noah is so good on why Trump's hold on power is actually fragile: newrepublic.com/article/1909…

Fanone: It’s not the fact that he’s the president that pisses me off. It’s that all these people that said they were going to stand behind us.. absolutely ran for the hills. There’s a lot of John Fettermans in the world and unfortunately, that’s why we’re in the predicament that we’re in

That judge in Seattle was appointed by Ronald Reagan.
PRESIDENT TRUMP responds: "No, obviously we'll appeal it. They put it before a certain judge in Seattle, I guess, right? There's no surprises with that judge." Judge temporarily blocks Trump's birthright citizenship executive order cbsnews.com/news/judge-tempo… via @CBSPolitics

Americans needs to know the details about the people Trump pardoned. DJ Rodriguez posted "There will be blood. Welcome to the revolution". He beat officers with a wooden pole, tasered an officer in the neck causing a heart attack. He's out of jail this week.

Dear @SenFettermanPA, We supported you through both of your campaigns and even organized a fundraiser for you in Lancaster during your first campaign. If you vote for Pete Hegseth it will be a huge betrayal—especially for veterans—and for what? Think about this. He’s not fit.

Rhodes said 4 days after Jan. 6: "My only regret is that they should have brought rifles... We should have brought rifles. We could have fixed it right then and there. I'd hang fucking Pelosi from the lamppost." cbsnews.com/news/oath-keeper…
Stewart Rhodes, Oath Keepers founder whose sentence was just commuted by Trump, is in the Capitol complex.
