For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

My four-year-old gets anxious whenever he has to take his nap in the daycare’s makeshift bomb shelter, which is almost daily. He also gets anxious whenever we wake him up in the middle of the night to take him to the bathroom because there are explosions outside our home. STFU.

This tech worker put what DOGE was doing in their agency pretty succinctly, I think—it's like "being hacked from the inside."

How quickly Trump rolled over for me is proof that if he was POTUS in 2022 this war wouldn't have lasted 3 years. He'd have just thrown Ukraine under a tank in exchange for a pat on the head.

Unreal. DOGE posted National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) headcounts. NRO budgets and headcounts are classified to prevent adversaries from using them to extrapolate our intelligence priorities. Stop giving kids who don’t know what the fuck they’re doing access to this shit.

Friendly reminder that Ukraine is in fact Ukraine and not bound to any deal the Trump White House proposes without them.

A reminder: Vladimir Putin could end the war in Ukraine right now, just by ordering his soldiers to go home. No need for treaties or negotiations.

The United States is about to become a threat to global security. I do not think people appreciate how bad it can be.

I said this 8 years ago. Seems worth repeating now.

America…it’s like watching the Fall of Rome. There is no other democracy, from Norway to New Zealand, which would elect as its leader a rapist, felon, liar, ignoramus, misogynist, vindictive bully and charlatan.
