Ridiculous, wasteful spending.

This is really stupid, and it’s not getting enough attention.

The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water, equipment taxpayers already bought, built, and sank into the deep ocean.

And they are doing it right when the oceans are behaving in ways that alarm the scientists who study them.

Record-breaking temperatures.

A system of Atlantic currents that may be lurching toward collapse.

The response?

Yank out the instruments and walk away.

That is not budgeting. That is smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire and calling it efficiency.

For what? The Trump administration dressed it up as a “nimbler approach” and “smart lifecycle management,” which is fancy nonsense for “we shut it off and hoped nobody would ask why.” There is no return-on-investment analysis. They cannot show taxpayers save a dime, because the gear is already paid for and the science it produces protects real money and real lives.

The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident.

That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first.

So let me get this straight RFK jr wants to ban antidepressants, make it easier for children to get access to tanning beds and is about to put flavored vapes back on the market. Also, he’s anti-VAX and he did nothing about roundup?

@RealTalkMS_jon Rates among women, that 1 in 250 drops to around 1 in 100? Am I reading this correctly?

[Katie Heckert @Hecksley]

@RealTalkMS_jon Reviewing the study, I think this means a first degree female relative has approximately 1% chance of developing MS? Is that correct? I'm getting that from table 1 and ...

[Katie Heckert @Hecksley]

@RealTalkMS_jon The statement that "Thus, the annual incidence rate for a clinical diagnosis of MS in stratified, high-risk first-degree family members could be approximately 1 in 250 participants, making prevention studies in this population feasible." ...
Considering the relatively higher...

The maximum an individual can legally donate to a candidate in an election is $3300.

Elon donated $277M to Trump in 2024 because of loopholes rich people use to buy elections.

If you care about election integrity — overturn Citizens United so our elections aren’t auctions.

Here is what’s really going on with regard to the funding stalemate in Congress.

ICE agents shot and killed two U.S. citizens on the streets of Minneapolis.

Democrats then said: before we write you another check, agree to the same rules every police department in America already follows. Judicial warrants before entering homes. Visible ID. Body cameras. No raids at schools and hospitals.

We immediately pushed for votes to fund TSA, the Coast Guard, and FEMA.

Republicans blocked it.

We tried to fund FEMA alone.

Republicans blocked that too. Their position was to fund ICE with no strings attached, or shut the whole thing down.

So DHS shut down.

Then yesterday, the White House sent a letter admitting we were right. But they still won’t agree to judicial warrants or to take the masks off, which means agents can still break down your door without a judge’s approval and you still can’t see their faces when they do it.

We’ve been ready to fund your airport security since day one, not to mention Coast Guard, FEMA and the rest. Republicans chose to protect ICE from accountability instead.

“It shall be called the Super Bowl and will be a huge national event played deep into the night on Sunday when everyone must go into work on Monday.”

“Why not play it on Saturday?”

“Nobody knows.”

.@BrettFavre With all due respect to one of the greatest QBs ever — I didn’t grow up knowing where the Packers played, what Lambeau Field was, or why people proudly wear cheese on their heads 🧀😄.
I watched. I learned. And now I get it.
That’s how @NFL football works. And honestly, that’s how the Super Bowl halftime show works too. It’s not about only watching what you already know — it’s about discovering what millions of your fellow Americans already love.
Bad Bunny isn’t “foreign” to the Super Bowl — he is America too 🇺🇸🇵🇷🎶. Different sounds, same country, same game.
The Super Bowl is big enough for frozen fields, cheese hats, country music… and Spanish lyrics.
That’s not losing tradition. That’s America showing how big the tent really is. 🏈❤️
And you should try Tembleque, Alcapurrias and Mofongo! Don’t be sad, be happy!

History has seen this playbook before and it never aged well. It wasn’t about pride or culture then, and it isn’t now. It’s about division dressed up as entitlement.

Let that sink in

it’s so crazy that all these people harp on cooking as this insurmountably hard act when the reality is it’s cleaning up after cooking yourself a good meal that is hell on earth

$496 MILLION of your taxpayer dollars.

That’s what the Trump Administration spent deploying troops INSIDE the United States.

Nearly half a billion dollars — not for disaster relief, not for health care, not to lower costs — but for legally questionable political deployments.

The American people don’t have $496 million to waste.

While Americans stretch every dollar, this Administration is lighting taxpayer money on fire.

While Minneapolis mourned a man killed by federal agents, Trump’s elite gathered in black tie to celebrate a Melania vanity film.
