Call me a hater but I think living in a world where both trillionaires and global poverty coexist is a sign humanity has failed as a species

[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.

Ossoff: Last September, the President of Kazakhstan calls Donald Trump and says he wants to grant tungsten mining rights to an American company. And the very next month, Eric and Don Jr. get a stake in the American company pursuing the mining deal.

Six days later, six days after Prince Eric and Prince Don get their stake, Kazakhstan announces this company will get, “The largest known undeveloped tungsten resource in the world.” A few more weeks go by, and then the U.S. government, run by their father, sets aside 1.6 billion of your tax dollars to fund and finance their mining project. In Kazakhstan.

All this while you pay more for gas, for groceries, for health care, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

[Rep. Jim McGovern @RepMcGovern]

Hey MAGA, here’s a list of Trump’s shutdown achievements:

-Sending $20 billion of your tax dollars to Argentina

-Letting Qatar build an air base in Idaho

-Golfing trip while the troops aren’t getting paid

Is that America First? Or are you ready to admit he’s a f***ing liar?

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

Tom Homan won't say if he took $50,000 cash in a bag from the FBI.

Pam Bondi also wouldn't answer.

If he didn't take the money, why not just release the tape?

[g. @GeauxGabrielle]

NEW ICE recruits get $50,000 sign on bonuses and are eligible for student loan forgiveness

But your active duty military starving?

Yikes.

[Adelita Grijalva @AdelitaForAZ]

17 days ago, Southern Arizona voted to send me to Congress to represent them.

Now the government’s shut down, workers are being furloughed, healthcare costs are set to rise, and critical programs are on the line.

I’m ready to get to work, @MikeJohnson.
Why aren’t you?

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Trump is saying if Democrats don't bend the knee and let him take health care away from millions, he's just going to turn around and inflict pain by firing American workers and withholding funding from our communities.

That’s not governing. That’s a wannabe king taking hostages.

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

So @SpeakerJohnson won’t swear her in because he will be the final signature on a discharge petition to force Epstein files out.

They must be super bad for Trump.

She needs to go get a court order. This is disenfranchising 700k people

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Apple has removed an ICE tracking app that allows users to report ICE activity nearby from its App Store.

The removal came after a direct demand from Trump’s DOJ.

Once again, Big Tech is bending the knee to our tyrant-in-chief to protect its bottom line.

[Protect Kamala Harris ✊ @DisavowTrump20]

🚨NEW: RFK Jr. has fired a top scientist at the National Institutes of Health, Dr. Jeanne Marrazzo, after she filed a whistleblower complaint about anti-vaccine conspiracy theories.

RETWEET if you stand with Dr. Marrazzo against RFK Jr!

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

🚨 AOC just confirmed what we’ve all suspected:

The House GOP is refusing to reconvene because the final vote to release the Epstein Files is locked and they’re stalling to stop it.

They won’t swear in Adelita Grijalva.
They shut down the government.
All to bury the truth.

[Ken Dilanian @KDilanianMSNOW]

New: Fired national security prosecutor Michael Ben’Ary warns of danger ahead in a goodbye letter to his colleagues:

“I am even more disappointed to see what has happened to this office and the Department of Justice in just a few short months. The decisions to remove experienced career officials from US Attorneys Offices, the FBI, and other critical parts of DOJ undermines our country's ability to counter terrorist organizations, malign nation-state actors, and countless others that seek to harm our nation and its citizens.”

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

BREAKING: Trump’s spiritual advisor Pastor Robert Morris, pleaded guilty to 5 felony counts of sexually assaulting a 12 year old girl. He molested this girl for 5 years. Get this. He's only going to have to serve 6 months in jail. Why are these MAGA men always let off the hook for their disgusting crimes?

[Ruben Gallego @RubenGallego]

Mike Johnson is delaying Adelita Grijalva’s swearing-in because she’d be the 218th vote to unseal the Epstein files.

The @HouseGOP is leaving Southern Arizonans without representation to protect pedophiles.

[Karly Kingsley @karlykingsley]

Congratulations to the United States for making the Human Rights Watch list for the 1st time in 249 years under the leadership of Donald Trump, just in time for his administration to mark the occasion by proposing to break federal law and slap his face on a 250th anniversary coin

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

Jane Fonda on the Trump regime: “Authoritarians take about 18-22 months to consolidate power. This administration is moving fast which means we have to move fast. We have to do everything we can to stop what’s happening before it becomes the norm”

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

JD Vance is outright LYING when he says Democrats are giving health care to illegal immigrants in our funding bill. How do I know? Because I wrote it!

Undocumented immigrants are NOT eligible for federal health care programs. But our bill DOES stop your premiums from doubling next year.

[Amy McGrath @AmyMcGrathKY]

It’s fine to set standards however you want. That’s not the issue.

What’s false is Hegseth’s continued narrative that combat standards were somehow lowered for women. They were not. And for the SecDef to lie about that is a slap in the face to all women who have served in combat roles.

Thanks to @TheWeekendMSNBC for having me on this morning.
