Mark Zuckerberg’s $300 MILLION yacht arrived in Seattle the same day Meta cut 1,400 jobs—part of a larger round of 14,000 job cuts.

Nothing says our economy is broken like billionaires sailing around on yachts while workers are left out to dry.

…@BrookeLRollins @USDA is not telling ranchers, farmers, and the American people the whole story. Maybe this outbreak would have happened regardless, but the slow response is a direct consequence of losing experienced experts across the federal government. When crises hit agriculture, expertise matters. Every day without the right people in place increases the risk of further spread and greater harm to our food system.

“No one gives a sh*t about housing.”

“If [gas prices] rise, they rise.”

"I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation."

"I love the inflation."

Donald Trump really is a man of the people, isn't he?

[Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock @SenatorWarnock]

Donald Trump is doing everything in his power to silence your voice.

This is what happens when authoritarians are desperate to hold on to power.

Insurers are using loopholes in a mental health parity law to get around paying for expensive in-patient care. https://t.co/wSovNpp4iy

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Republicans just BLOCKED Sen. Richard Blumenthal's attempt to get Veterans their retirement pay WITHOUT cutting disability benefits. Republicans will write blank checks to the military, then penny pinch when it's time to support our Vets.

[Mike Nellis @MikeNellis]

Dr. Oz is attempting to lay the foundation for Republicans to gut Medicaid and Medicare again by calling them programs “of great danger” to the American people.

These people have no health care plan other than taking away yours.

[Democratic Coalition @TheDemCoalition]

This pathetic snowflake is such a baby. He acts and talks tough and then as soon as a female journalist asks him the simplest, most basic question that he knows he can't answer, he storms out of the interview like a complete coward.

Share the face of this fraud.

Republican message in 2026:

Return us with a majority so we can go ahead with our secret plan to cut Social Security and Medicare in 2027.

BREAKING MS NOW:

ICE has detained over 500 babies and toddlers under Trump.

On an average day, ICE has 25 children aged 3 or younger in custody, according to joint research by MS NOW and The Marshall Project. https://t.co/JNZlfb7afy

CNN: President Trump has said the the war will be over within days at least 37 times before

[Angry Staffer @Angry_Staffer]

You should ask yourself why all of the people who are screeching about election fraud on social media are always unwilling to repeat these claims under oath.

Let me help you: it’s because they know they’re full of shit. The entire purpose is to keep people angry.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

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.

The NYT found that at least one of every six sentences in Trump cabinet meetings either flattered Trump, gave him credit or criticized his political opponents.

We know cabinet members also keep finding ways to funnel money to Trump—and the majority have. https://t.co/eCmLMG17NM

If you’ve been to the American Military Cemetery in Normandy, and you’ve looked out over those rows of crosses and stars of David, you’ll know how odious this man is. Those men didn’t die for this ideology or assholes like Pete Hegseth.

The “bad moment” was confirming that Donald Trump wasn’t releasing the Epstein files because he’s in the Epstein files.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

This is so insanely corrupt, I can’t even believe it.

More than half the donors to Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom just won over $50 billion in new federal contracts in six months.

And here’s the part that should make your blood boil.

Sixteen of these 27 donors were facing federal enforcement actions, antitrust reviews, labor cases, securities charges. Many of those cases have been quietly dropped or scaled back since Trump took office. You write a check, your legal problems disappear. That’s not a coincidence.

The White House won’t even release the full donor list. They’re hiding it on purpose, because daylight is the one thing pay-to-play can’t survive. A federal judge already ruled ballroom construction has to stop until Congress authorizes it.

Government is supposed to serve the people, not auction itself off to the highest bidder. When access goes to whoever pays the most, working families always end up paying the price.

We either end the corruption, or the corruption will end us.

[Angry Staffer @Angry_Staffer]

Staggering levels of corruption.

They’re using every possible lever of power to enrich themselves and their friends and families.

And the “party of fiscal responsibility” simply doesn’t care.
