@JoyAnnReid If MLK were alive today, he would be disappointed that we as a nation are still battling the three major evils—the evil of racism, the evil of poverty, and the evil of war.

VanHalen blaring with Army tanks and troops going down the street is totally normal…right?

This was a devastating, targeted act of political violence against two elected officials. To equate a peaceful protest and the Governor’s exercise of First Amendment rights with such violence is outrageous, disgusting, and unbecoming of a member of Congress.

Leaked audio of JD Vance in a jealous rant… Let’s just say JD Vance is no fan of Elon Musk and thinks he makes him look bad. But the truth is—Trump and Vance don’t need Elon to make them look bad.

RFK Jr has been stating that the "anti-measles protection" of natural infection is better than vaccination First - if he thinks measles is not bad for you, then why care how good or long lasting the immunity against it is?? Second - Measles is NOT good for you. Do not get it to

After several delays, @DOGE has finally posted its purported savings. Why did it take so long to create a simple webpage with a 1000-row table? Who knows! Let's dig in. Headline number: $55B saved. They list the savings per nixed contract. This should be easy to verify then. 🧵
It's Monday. @DOGE is the laziest, most overpaid bunch of incompetent, unelected bureaucrats we've ever seen.

Update: It’s 5:20 pm ET on Monday, Feb. 17 and DOGE has not posted any of the promised receipts.
When DOGE launched a website earlier this week, it promised to post “receipts” of its work “no later than Valentine’s Day 💘.” Valentine’s Day came and went. But the receipts never materialized. Now DOGE has amended its deadline: “Receipts coming over the weekend!”

Elon Musk's DOGE website promised "receipts" for the savings DOGE has secured "no later than Valentine's Day." The Saturday after Valentine's Day, there was a new message: "Receipts coming over the weekend!" The weekend is over. Still no receipts.

Hey! @elonmusk your doge minions just fired me and my colleagues at CMMI. We were working on improving maternal health outcomes AT LOWER COSTS so that less pregnant women would die in this county. I thought that would fit nicely into your agenda?

NEW: Documents DOGE posted to social media included potentially sensitive info including tax ID numbers of two private companies. DOGE edited its post and published redacted versions of the docs, but the originals are still visible in the edit history. https://t.co/aM8W0ivZ0o

Despite DOGE’s attempt to redact the information, it is still readily visible in the post on X.

The documents shared by DOGE below are cropped and redacted to block out tax ID numbers, the name of a contractor and other presumably sensitive info. The fully unreacted pages were viewed two million times earlier today (and can still be found in the edit history of the post.)
$1.9 billion of HUD money was just recovered after being misplaced during the Biden administration due to a broken process. These funds were earmarked for the administration of financial services, but were no longer needed. @SecretaryTurner and @DOGE worked together to fix the

Holy fucking shit! "1. The Hot Mic From Hell It was supposed to be a Trump press conference. Instead, Trump barely spoke. He sat hunched over the desk like a sedated zoo animal, staring blankly while Musk rambled about bureaucracy and fraud. And then, from the shadows of the
