I’m thinking about federal income tax.

If the federal government isn’t meeting its obligations why should we?

Specifically, I’d love to see states get the money first and hold it in trust pending litigation. I want to pay my taxes but not to a government that doesn’t respect the constitution.

Trump threatening Canada..

That's like threatening the adult crossing guard at your child's school.
That's like threatening the best man at your own wedding.

That's like threatening a fellow enlisted man who carried your wounded body on his back out of the battle zone.

You ok with that America?

None of the broligarchs knows what they’re talking about. They’re just hot air, spewing what sounds smart to them but is actually a telltale sign of ignorance.

Even if I was an octopus🐙with with 16 arms, it wouldn't be enough arms to write about the concurrent crimes being committed by Trump's gang

Think about that..3 weeks America, 3 weeks to clog the courts, 3 weeks to upset the finances of countless Americans.

3 fucking weeks to be hated by the world

What elected Republican law makers in both chambers of the house need to remember, if Trump doesn't have to abide by the Judiciary, the courts or laws.

Then Trump doesn't have to abide by the Senate or Congress, or SCOTUS

Trump could just decree anything.

We got a Costco membership for the first time in our lives today. They asked why & I said because treat your workers well, you value diversity, & you didn’t cave in to authoritarian demands. He said: “We’ve been getting lots of folks saying that, thanks for joining.”

America, there really is only one question left to be answered..

Will local law enforcement, Federal law agents, national guard and the military refuse to fire upon American citizens when ordered?

You tell me, i'm not so sure.

Trump is old, bitter, and quite deranged..

His only agenda is to tear down burn down and destroy everything..

Being a bigger section of the history books than Hitler was is Trump's only goal.

Everything else is gibberish.

So will I, emulating you, while thinking of it privately as the Gulf of Scalzico.
I personally will continue to use "Gulf of Mexico" because our president is a wrathful felonious nincompoop with the intellect of paramecium and I do not consent to his cartographic buffoonery
Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons:

-We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S.

-The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous.

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!
Okay what is going on here. Are the accounts at a private banking entity? Does the federal government have direct debit permission set up? So many questions as to how Treasury instructed this payment. (Via NY Post’s Craig McCarthy)

I heard a rumor that the other (Five/Nine/Fourteen) Eyes will be curtailing their intelligence sharing with the US.
For the next 4 years, don't believe any national intelligence information. Don't believe any medical information. This is where we are.

"[For the Right], D.E.I...is the mere presence of a woman or nonwhite person or disabled or transgender person in any high-skilled, high-status position. And their alternative isn’t some heretofore unknown standard of merit; it is the reintroduction of something like segregation."

Opinion | Trump’s War on D.E.I. Is Really a War on Civil Rights
The genius of the right-wing crusade against D.E.I. is that the term is amorphous enough that it can mean many different things to many different people.
