Can’t have a hangry crew going to Mars

It’s important you understand this.

The people in this photo were residents of the USA that were denied due process. They were rounded up and shipped to a prison in El Salvador—without trial, without evidence—simply on suspicion of gang affiliation.

This was done in defiance of our American courts that deemed the action illegal.

They could be legal residents. They could be innocent bystanders. They could be asylum seekers. For all we know, they could be U.S. citizens.

Now, they’re trapped in one of the most violent prisons on Earth, enduring brutality beyond what most of us can imagine.

If you don’t find this morally repulsive, then you are morally repulsive.

not to defend the robber barons but Andrew Carnegie, the richest man of his era, gave away 90 percent of his wealth and funded the building of 2,811 libraries, and I’m afraid the current crop of oligarchs isn’t sending their best.

Again: The USPS is REQUIRED to deliver to EVERY. SINGLE. ADDRESS in the United States. They have someone ride into the Grand Canyon ON A MULE to deliver mail to people who live at the bottom of the canyon. They are not meant to be profitable. They are meant to serve US citizens.

In 2024 @NatlParkService received $3.475 billion in taxpayer money. That same year the parks brought n $55.7 billion into our economy. Public lands should be supported and cared for…not cut
These lands belong to you, humans. ����🌊

FYI, I know you are all upset & I’m devastated. We’ve tried to mobilize people from all over to get the Senate Dems to do what’s right.

In about 30 minutes, I am planning to be disappointed. Please take out your anger, appropriately by sending letters, emails, making calls & supporting primary opposition where appropriate, but please don’t forget that 212 members in the house and probably almost 40 dem senators did the right thing!

I get that it’s a group project, but overall, we were far stronger than what it will feel like when a select few, sink us all.

Also remember that they have tried to make Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion an awful slur for black people, but NOT one black member in either chamber, faltered. WE are a strong, resilient people who consistently fight for the greater good; and that is why we are feared.

-All the Dems who are fighting for the collective!

This is the federal gov job cuts in a nutshell. My friends and family who are still left employed are extremely busy, and work continues to pile up.

I am quite sure that around 80% of Americans want to keep the Education Department and the same for USAID. Are we really going to let 20% of the dumbest people in the country completely dismantle our federal government?

@Marcus24576385 @LauraForczyk Uninformed and incorrect take

[Variety @Variety]

Bill Burr says "idiot" Elon Musk is "evidently a Nazi" with "dyed hair plugs and a laminated face."

"I just refuse to believe it was an accidental two-time Sieg Heil. And he does it at a presidential inauguration! This is why I hate liberals. Liberals have no teeth whatsoever. They just go, ‘Oh my God, can you believe this? I’m getting out of the country!’ I’m just like, you’re gonna leave the country because of one guy with dyed hair plugs and a laminated face? Who makes a bad car and has an obsolete social media platform? Why doesn’t he leave? Why are we so afraid of this guy who can’t fight his way out of a wet paper bag?”

NASA is getting roughly 50¢ out of every $100 you pay in taxes

The NASA science budget is only about 12¢ for every $100 in taxes

NASA Aeronautics is 3¢

NASA STEM engagement is < 1¢

Cutting the NASA budget isn't going to reduce federal spending in any meaningful way

Fun fact: before 9/11 you never had to pay to check bags on any airline. It was created as a temporary way to re-boost the airline economy but the airlines never took the fees back away

Kelly: I served in the United States Navy for 25 years. I spent 15 years at NASA, risking my life flying the space shuttle. And the only oath I can think of that maybe Elon Musk has sworn is an oath to his own checking account, to his pocketbook—an oath, maybe, to ruining the lives of veterans. I had veterans in my office last week who, after really good performance reports, found out that Elon Musk fired them for poor performance. He has ruined these people’s lives. They were serving our country again in very valuable roles, and they did not deserve to get fired by an email from an unelected billionaire

Sorry Southwest, all my golf trips will go elsewhere now. Big mistake y’all are making.

BREAKING: While boasting on Fox News about her efforts to dismantle the Department of Education, Linda McMahon couldn’t even explain what the IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) is.

This is the person trying to destroy education in America. Let that sink in.

When @PeteButtigieg was Secretary of Transportation Southwest had two free checked bags.
