1/ Trump has been conned by Putin. Russia isn’t a global superpower—its GDP (~$2 trillion) is smaller than Italy’s and about 1/15 the size of the US. 🧵
Stephen A Smith on DEI: "When you're a weekend host on Fox News and now you're the Defense Secretary of the United States overseeing 3.5 million people, that is not qualified!"
HOLY SHIT, Rep. Jasmine Crockett:
"We are going to be in your faces, we're gonna be on your ass, we're going to make sure you understand that this is what democracy looks like!"
🔥🔥🔥
Sen. Schiff presses Kash Patel to look at the Capitol Police officers behind him. Patel doesn't turn around.
Schiff: "I want you to look at them if you can, if you have the courage to look them in the eye, Mr. Patel, and tell them you're proud of what you did. Tell them you're proud that you raised money off of people that assaulted their colleagues, that pepper sprayed them, that beat them with poles."
From our earliest days, Black history has always been American history – and Black folks have profoundly shaped our American culture through music, art, literature, sports, and beyond. One month a year is not sufficient to celebrate the power of the movements and the people who have fought for the rights we enjoy today. That’s something that we have to do each and every day, as we strive to live up to their example and make sure our children and grandchildren remember their stories.
Some of y'all have a lot of nerve complaining about DEI policies, while the LEAST qualified people in our country are being offered the HIGHEST positions.
Only White Privilege would allow a drunk abuser with no experience leading an organization of more than 200 people to lead the 3 MILLION person Pentagon like Pete Hegseth.
Or confirmed anti-vaxxer conspiracy theorist, RFK Jr,
- his own highly-respected cousin, Caroline Kennedy, warns that he's A PREDATOR
- part of his brain was eaten by a worm
- he left a dead baby bear in the park
- he sawed off a whale's head and strapped it to the roof of his car
- he said he has plenty of skeletons in closet after accused of sexually assaulting the babysitter
- he wants to do away with Medicaid and the ACA in favor of private insurance
...and he STILL has a realistic shot at leading the country's Health and Human Services Dept.
There are people literally failing UPWARDS, but it's OK because at least they're white.🤬
Laura Ingraham plays a video meant to show that Biden made air travelers less safe by ... asking HBCU, Hispanic-serving institutions, and tribal colleges to *apply* to be air traffic controllers 🤔
You fucking assholes said we were getting cheaper eggs and gas, but so far all we've gotten is chaos, confusion, catastrophe, and crashes to go with crazy HIGH prices.
We fucking TOLD you.
This is what Snoop Dogg performed for. This is what Byron Donalds tap danced for. This is what every Black Trump voter cooned for—selling out their own people for a seat at the oppressor’s table, only to get crumbs and a slap in the face. Trump told y’all he was coming for DEI, affirmative action, and civil rights—and y’all still put on the cape for white supremacy. Now, the Pentagon has paused Black History Month, MLK Day observances, and Juneteenth recognitions, all because y’all helped put a racist back in power. Hope y’all enjoy those bootlicking benefits—oh wait, there aren’t any.

The highest-ranking career official at the Treasury Department is departing after a clash with allies of Elon Musk over access to sensitive payment systems. Typically, just a small number of career officials control Treasury's payment systems.

400,000 Americans lost their lives to Covid because of Trump's incompetence. He's not changed one bit because of it. American lives and deaths mean nothing to him.
#Colin is right every time he talks about the Bears.
I never agreed with him but this season I think we clicked, I really think the #Bears need a coach who can change their mentality.
