Frost: I still hold the supreme court is very much skewed to the right… But the fact the court is so skewed to the right even then they are still saying in a unanimous decision that he needs to be brought home shows that should not be a partisan issue
The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.
Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.
The list goes on and on.
Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Elon Musk and DOGE have failed to cut spending despite creating massive chaos in the federal government, according to a review of official data by The Economist.
In fact, spending might actually be up since Trump took office.
I lost my job. USDA Forest Service. My probation was up next week. I did everything right. I took a GS-7 role with a master’s degree just to get my foot in the door. I spent years doing seasonal fieldwork for low pay, working in remote places, gaining experience, and building skills, just for a chance at a permanent position. I was about to be a GS-9. I wrote NEPA reports. I conducted field surveys. I worked fire support. I dedicated myself to this work because I believed in it. Public lands don’t manage themselves. The wildlife, watersheds, and forests we protect don’t just stay protected without people on the ground making it happen. My coworkers and I took on that responsibility, often in places most people never think about but that matter more than they know. And now? Just like that, I’m out. Edit: I’ve consistently supported progressive policies and have voted Democrat in every national and local election since I was 18. I do appreciate folks asking, I have some coworker having a serious 'leopards ate my face' moment right now.
This comment on r/fednews really stood out to me. Trump and Musk want people to think they're firing do-nothing "bureaucrats," but they're really getting rid of people dedicated to serving this country and keeping it operational. I hope these stories get told.
🚨 WHOA!!!
Sen. Whitehouse: Mark my words. This Patel guy will come back to haunt you. Every piece of evidence shows that.
I'm hearing now that *every* technologist CFPB hired to investigate Big Tech was fired this evening. That's somewhere between 70-100 people.

REPORTER: Would you direct agencies to study the impact tariffs would have on prices in the US?
TRUMP: No. There's nothing to study. It's gonna go well.
If you’ve already started calling it the Gulf of America instead of the Gulf of Mexico, you should have no trouble with someone’s preferred name and pronouns.
It's not complicated. They're just trying to stop women from being able to vote.
This administration was completely warped the true definition of: fraud, DEI, tariffs
New York, NY - New York City Comptroller Brad Lander released the following statement: "This morning, my financial team shockingly uncovered that President Trump and his crony Elon Musk illegally executed a revocation of $80 million in congressionally-appropriated FEMA funding from New York City's bank accounts late yesterday afternoon. This is money that the federal government previously disbursed for shelter and services and is now missing. This highway robbery of our funds directly out of our bank account is a betrayal of everyone who calls New York City home.
Okay what is going on here. Are the accounts at a private banking entity? Does the federal government have direct debit permission set up? So many questions as to how Treasury instructed this payment. (Via NY Post’s Craig McCarthy)
Here's what NO ONE asked for: turning the IRS into ICE.
Maybe that’s the plan—make the IRS too busy trying to deport folks so they can’t go after billionaire tax cheats like Trump.
Elites don't care who gets hurt as long as they can steal from the rest of us. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...
Americans are scared about what’s happening right now—because This. Is. Not. Normal.
But where are my Republican colleagues? In closed-door meetings dismantling vital programs?
We are fighting back! We are taking it to the courts, taking it to Congress, and taking it to the streets!
It would seem to me that if you cannot sue a sitting president, a sitting President should not be able to sue either.
Deb Haaland, the former Interior Secretary under Biden and the first Native American to serve as a Cabinet Secretary, has announced her campaign for Governor of New Mexico.
Love her!!!!
Let's go!!!!
Of. Course.
Credible sources tell IG that the Russian asset and weasel Kash Patel lied to senators during confirmation hearings
If he lied to them then, he'll lie to them every damn time he comes for a hearing
An FBI Director who lies on day one will lie every day thereafter
Dear media,
No, Trump isn’t “signaling” that he “might” ignore the courts.
He. Is. Ignoring. The. Fucking. Courts.
The end.
Do your damn job.
Trump just suspended enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, a key anti-bribery law signed by Carter in 1977. For 50 years, it stopped corporations from bribing foreign officials. Now, Trump is letting corruption run wild.
This is — literally — unheard of in federal prosecutions.
We can’t prosecute him because he’s a candidate for office? Wow.
Trump and Musk’s illegal attempt to dismantle USAID will hit Washington hard.
From research to business partnerships, this attack threatens jobs, global health, and our state’s humanitarian aid.
FYI
BE RELENTLESS!!
Never obey in advance!
Trust that those working at Medicaid, OMB, Medicare, Social Security, etc etc etc, are as worn out and afraid as the rest of us.
Please be respectful and kind when speaking with a representative. Thank them.
You catch more flies with honey than vinegar. 🫶🏽
Donald Trump saying "no" when asked if he views JD Vance as his successor is hilarious.
JD Vance has debased himself to suck up to Donald Trump and this is the thanks he gets.
Delicious.

a solid black dachshund puppy sits on some white carpet and looks up at the camera. the pup’s fur and the photo’s contrast combine to make it impossible to see any distinguishing features of the puppy’s body; he’s just one little vantablack splotch in the middle of the frame. only his little brown eyes sparkle with a few reflections of the light around him.
This is Tux. He is the cutest black hole we have ever seen. And we thought you should see him too. 12/10
