"Over the coming weeks, the food will be destroyed at a cost of $130,000 to American taxpayers (on top of the $800,000 used to purchase the biscuits)"
The Trump administration is destroying 500 metric tons of emergency food—and making U.S. taxpayers foot the bill. In the coming weeks, high-energy biscuits, enough to feed 1.5 million children, will be torched at a cost of $130,000. This comes after $800,000 in taxpayer funds were already spent to purchase the food. This is the very definition of waste and government abuse. We must restore critical foreign aid programs that save lives, rather than let vulnerable children starve while we burn the food that could have fed them.
.@FAANews: FAA staff fired over the weekend included personnel that worked radar, landing and navigational aid maintenance, among others. Hundreds were fired, just weeks after a fatal mid-air collision in DC killed 67. One employee said they were harassed on Facebook by @DOGE prior to being fired. https://t.co/4BXVfKtgWh
America‼️
We have one opportunity to fix this on April 1st, 2025.
Currently:
Democrats 215
Republicans 217
💥3 seats up for grabs💥
Democrats can win back 2 seats, evening out the House, and no more Speaker Johnson. Win the 3rd seat in NY21, and we have Speaker Jefferies.

Here’s Elon’s father casually saying Elon’s maternal grandparents were in the Nazi party in Canada, supported Hitler, and moved to South Africa because they strongly admired the Apartheid regime. 🤷♂️
That is 1000% a Nazi salute being given behind the presidential podium on Inauguration Day (also MLK day) by the richest person on the planet. That moment will live in infamy.
people who say "well trump was president in 2016 you'll live 🤓" do not realize tens of thousands of people died because he downplayed a pandemic and women today are dying because of the 3 supreme court justices he appointed
Yes this is hatred. Yes this is racism. Yes this is misogyny. But it’s also “she’s not vocal enough about Palestine” and “not choosing the lesser of two evils”
To those who sat this one out: Politicians are not rock stars. Get them in office, then push them.
A lesson, too late
I cannot emphasize enough how disturbing it is that Fulton and Dekalb county voting precincts were targeted for bomb threats.
These are the biggest, Blackest counties in Georgia. A quarter of the state's Black population between them.
Today I signed an Executive Order to protect the reproductive rights of women in the aftermath of the Supreme Court's extreme decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
It formalizes the actions I announced right after the decision and will add new measures to protect women's health.
