Trump has ordered that large areas of America’s forests be felled for timber, evading rules to protect endangered species while doing so and raising the prospect of chainsaws razing some of the most ecologically important trees in the US.

It’s been a long day, but in short, bullies ain’t shit! I don’t care what title you hold! This isn’t some long gone reality tv show or failed casino; it is war!

How dare a draft dodging dumb dupe humiliate an ally & berate a brave man who has actually been on a battlefield for his people?!

‼️$880 Billion. ‼️

That's how much Republicans want to cut from Medicaid to fund tax breaks for corporations and the wealthy. Economically vulnerable families will feel the brunt of these cuts while the highest earners benefit significantly.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26.

Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency.

It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

The Trump-Vance-Musk regime is not only undermining democracy in the United States.

It is also laying the foundation for undermining democracies around the world.

And the oligarchy is cheering them on. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/paying-off-putin

FACT: USAID funded projects in 120 countries - fighting epidemics, educating children, providing clean water, supporting life saving work.

Now nurses laid off, clinics closed in 25 countries where 2/3 of all child deaths occur.

All because of Trump’s inflated ego.

We need to call out the blatant lie being pushed by the Trump administration—that Elon’s staffers have only “read-only” access. It has been confirmed across departments that they have “administrative” access to computer systems.

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 ?
