Dippel wants to take funds from cleaning up toxic chemicals that are killing people for his own personal projects.

Putting the dip into Dippel.

More of this. The fuck are you doing promoting a book when the country is falling apart?

Why are Republican states trying to overturn a pillar of disability rights? They may not be successful in repealing Section 504 as part of the attack on treating gender dysphoria, but it begs the question of what they might come for next.

NEW: On Section 504. "Attacks on any one group will be used as a wedge to attack all of us. You may not personally know any trans people, and you may even be uncomfortable with the idea ... but letting this attack go forward will eventually hurt you and the things you love, too." /1

FAKE NEWS Trump's War on the Press and Reality

So much of Elon’s wealth is tied up in Tesla. One lawmaker in Canada suggested that they, and other democratic countries should see the danger he poses and stick a huge tariff on the import of Tesla.

Well played, President Claudia Sheinbaum, for committing troops already at the border since 2021, knowing perfectly well President Man Baby would have no idea and take it as a win.

An unelected billionaire now has the power to STEAL OUR EARNED BENEFITS.

Every Member of Congress, Democrats and Republicans alike, must use every tool they have to stop this. If they don't, they are complicit in the theft.

Dear Canada and Mexico,

We’re so, so sorry.

This is normally for a country to invest their budget surpluses. Since we don’t have one, and won’t have one anytime soon, unclear whose money is going into this and where it will be going. We are going to borrow more money to invest it?

Gerry Connolly: "It is a matter for Congress to deal with, not an unelected billionaire oligarchy named Elon Musk. And Elon, if you want to run USAID, get nominated by Trump and go to the Senate and good luck in getting confirmed."

Trump just announced that his tariffs will cause “pain” for the American middle class but it’s okay because it will be “worth the price that must be paid.”

Can someone ask Trump which stage of “Make America Great Again” this is?

Reminder that a tariff is a tax.

Trump is raising your taxes.

But Trump said that Americans aren’t impacted by tariffs, so why would lowering tariffs make OUR costs lower… unless…

Ah yes we wouldn’t want to empower the “unelected bureaucracy.”

Absolutely brutal scroll on Fox.
