Murphy: "If we continue to observe norms, if we continue to engage in business as usual, this democracy could be gone. I don't think we have a year to save American democracy. I think the way the president is acting ... puts out democracy at immediate risk."

Yep, and they ate that shit up like Thanksgiving dinner. I struggle so hard accepting the fact that we have such a large population of both flat out imbeciles and calculating, truly horrible people who are excited about all of this.

While the Russian Useful Idiot in the White House is busy claiming bullshit wartime authority to further his efforts destructing Democracy, just a reminder that everything he has said is a lie & everything that he says going forward will be a lie. As for his enablers, screw them.

Which gets to a point I’ve made for DECADES: material well-being and prosperity for all is a literal national security issue!

It’s putting the cart before the horse to imagine that these toxic online spaces are the starting point for this shit.
People that are well-adjusted and well-socialized aren’t necessarily IMMUNE to these propaganda paths, but they’re significantly less susceptible to them.

I agree with all of this, but there are also many men who simply WANT to be a disgusting right wing rapist. You can (incorrectly) blame woke or you can (more correctly) blame society crumbling but at the end of the day they had CHOICES and they MADE THEM and they're RESPONSIBLE FOR THEM.

DOGE claims to have saved $115 billion, but we can confirm this figure is overstated by 77.3%, meaning the actual savings amount to only $26.05 billion. To verify this, we had to rely on internal connections, as Musk has obscured details of these claims on DOGE despite promises of transparency.
