@DoctorHenryCT They're going to privatize the entire federal govt—and as much state and local as they can reach, e.g., schools—so Trump and his appointees can turn it all into profit centers. It's what they're there for. They'll get away with it b/c America no longer remembers why govt exists.

GOODLANDER: The Post reported that you helped craft a plan to send more than 23,000 troops to all 50 states as part of a 'domestic civil disturbance quick reaction force.' Is that reporting accurate? COLBY: I'd have to get back to you with an answer GOODLANDER: ... you can't

Marco Rubio: "Iran is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics" Paula White, Trump’s religious fanatic lunatic ‘Spiritual Advisor’… *You need to see the entire clip just to appreciate how batshit fucking crazy she is.

Last Friday, a handful of people made big, unusual $100,000+ bets on Polymarket - that the U.S. would strike Iran the next day. The Iran War is fueling a new kind of corruption: White House officials secretly profiting off war. It's disgusting. We need to ban it.

Trump has more plans for the ballroom in the East Wing than he does for a war in the Middle East.

Trump is lying. I serve on the Intel & Armed Services Committees. There’s no intelligence that Iran posed an imminent threat to the U.S. or the American people.

Still trying to wrap my head around Kash firing a unit that specializes in Iranian counter-intel LAST WEEK -- when they knew war was coming -- because the agents were involved in the Trump classified docs case. https://t.co/1586YuzT5e

Trump and Rubio are far more complicit in what’s happening here than Hillary Clinton ever was for Benghazi. Let’s have public testimony under oath with that same level of scrutiny.

Incoherent walk back by Rubio, after he said yesterday the threat was imminent so no time to go to Congress. But to the degree Rubio is now saying, no, the president all along intended a major assault on Iran, there's no excuse for not having gone to Congress for authorization.

Rubio Today: It’s false to say I said the U.S. had to attack because Israel was going to attack. That’s not what I said. Rubio Yesterday: We knew Israel was going to strike Iran, and that would trigger attacks on U.S. forces. If we didn’t act first, Americans would suffer higher

@FmrRepMTG Biden came to office with 122K American citizens...some dual citizens...stranded, in harms way for almost a year, after Trump surrendered to the Taliban in February of '20 & left them without so much as an evacuation plan. Biden got all but those who CHOSE TO STAY out in 2 weeks.

There goes your democracy.

"Our model suggests that Russian casualties are now between 1.1m and 1.4m, of whom 230,000-430,000 are dead. That would mean one in 25 Russian men between the ages of 18 and 49 may have been killed or severely wounded since the start of the full-scale war."

Totally forgot about this. The retirement savings accounts that Trump announced last night were already signed into law by President Joe Biden. It was part of a big funding bill that Congress passed in 2022. Division T. Secure 2.0 https://t.co/4RtQBLIdf3

Trump is bragging about working to eliminate fraud. Most of his presidential pardons have been for people convicted of money laundering and fraud to the tune of over $1 billion.

Mike Johnson is scolding democrats for not attending the SOTU coz “their constituents need them there”. Yes, the same Mike Johnson who kept the House out of session for around 266 days last year.

Fact-checking some of Trump’s statements at the State of the Union address 1. Jobs Trump repeatedly claimed that we have “the hottest country,” with “more jobs” and the best economy “in the history of our country.” This is a blatant lie. Data from the Bureau of Labor

I'm happy for everyone that enjoyed the SOTU. Truly. I apologize in advance for being -that guy- The optimism is gone. The pageantry is like staring into the sun. Things are not improving and it felt like a N Korea fealty applause test under threat I'm over it. Just the truth.

Trump vows to end insider trading in Congress. He pardoned Ex-Rep. Chris Collins (R), who pled guilty to insider trading. https://t.co/BUWcYwSJOJ

I know of no group of people on earth who lie as shamelessly, demonstrably, and effortlessly as the modern Republican Party:

“The murder of Jeffrey Epstein” (!)
