At least 11 federal agencies targeted by the Trump-Musk firings and cuts “have more than 32 continuing investigations, pending complaints or enforcement actions into Mr. Musk’s six companies”

California’s @RepHuffman says the ‘school choice’/vouchers/ privatization push is both a “grift” to grab taxpayer money and an effort to “fuse” Christianity with government. #LeesVoucherScam
Trump: "We're all gonna sit down & do a great computerized system for our control towers. Brand new. Not pieced together, obsolete, like it is, land-based ... you can't hook up land to satellites and you can't hook up satellites to land, it doesn't work ... let's spend less money and build a great system done by 2 or 3 companies ... when I land in my plane, privately, I use a system from another country because my captain tells me ... I won't tell you what country, but I use a system from another country."
Boom. Ted Lieu with facts: “Trump ordered the release of 2 billion gallons of water that almost flooded farmland…this water was saved for the farmers for summer when they need it. Trump wasted all this water that isn’t even reaching LA for a PR stunt.”
These are lies coming from Russian media. I completely self-funded my humanitarian trip to Ukraine. There was no funding from USAID and certainly no payment of any kind.
💯 percent false.
More smokescreens and mirrors:
Canada first announced its $1.3 billion border plan on December 17, 2024, before any tariff discussions and before Trump was inaugurated.
Stop pretending Trump is some master negotiator. He literally threw world supply chains into panic over nothing.
Kennedy: To my friends who are upset.. call somebody who cares. You better get used to this. It’s USAID today, it’s going to be the Department of Education tomorrow.
Lots to unpack in this Trump comment reiterating that he wants Canada to be a 51st state: "If people wanted to play the game right, it would be 100% certain that they'd become a state. But a lot of people don't like to play the game because they don't have a threshold of pain."
