The EU is so smart! Of course we have many researchers and professionals here in the US who are being fired by Doge but would greatly appreciate the opportunity to work abroad in their chosen field. Love this!

❗️EU needs an "attractivity boom" to bring over talent from abroad "who might suffer from research interference."

When AOC and Adam Kinzinger are both furious at Chuck Schumer, for the exact same reason, maybe you need to give up the idea this is just a backlash coming from far left activists.

For the record, do I think a one-day boycott is going to make much of an economic impact? No. Do I think that a sort of "Baby's First Boycott," performative though it is, might be useful to make some folks aware of the impact of their economic power, and how it might be wielded politically? Maybe.

One by one, each congress member should read a complaint written by one regular constituent from your state. Then walk out.
If you were in Congress, what would you do for the State of the Union? What do you think Dems should do?

Apparently Republican reps are cancelling town halls to prevent videos of angry constituents from going viral online. I would suggest that Democratic party members hold town halls in their stead, standing in for those Republican officials who are too ashamed to face their voters.

Look at this map. Trump decided to start wars with the countries still in blue. They won't be blue for long.

Every time I think about forgiving my MAGA in-laws, I remember that they made it harder for every child I know to get into college, and I'm enraged all over again.

Sometimes we just need a little perspective. USAID spending is the new boogeyman of the Trump Administration. Let's break down a few of these🧵
1) USAID gave $500,000 to a Serbian LGBTQ advocacy group to help people be included in jobs. Thats 2% of what Trump spent to go to the Super Bowl

I read a lot of news from both sides, so if you ever feel yourself wondering if you're right, just look at news from other countries around the world. Just because American MSM has fallen doesn't mean journalism is dead.

I am establishing the Illinois “Highway” Rest Area. I have plenty of overnight parking in my home for paperless immigrants, J-6 FBI Agents, DOJ Attorneys, DOE, USAID, NWS Employees, and DEI FAA people. I will leave the light on for you. They did it in 1800s. We can do it in 2025.

MAGA is worse than Nazism because MAGA’s were warned about what would happen and voted for it anyway.

This is EXACTLY what happened in December in the standoff over the funding bill. It’s because Musk is far far vigorous and wily and potent than Trump is.
something that stands out for me at the almost-2.5-week mark is that Musk priorities are actually happening and Trump priorities are not.

Wait. Have @doge and Elon just been pulling numbers from usaspending.gov ?

Then releasing it as if they discovered it ?

Brilliant if true. Absolutely brilliant. Fooled me.

Very Trump like too.

Any usaspending.gov experts out there that can tell us ?

Hold the fuck on — the Department of Government Efficiency, the entity which claims its mission is to end “wasteful spending”, was given SEVEN MILLION TAXPAYER DOLLARS to cover its “expenses” in the span of a single week?!?!

Are you fucking kidding me?!?
