“Knows a little about everything”. End the GQP!! 🌊🌊 Never forget TFG installed Barrett on SC ONE WEEK before election! Obama was denied an apptm 9 mo. before!
🚨 Devon Archer was convicted of stealing $60 million from a Native American tribe.
Trump gave him a pardon in exchange for testifying against Hunter Biden.
OK OK, forget what I said a few days ago - and a couple of days before that. THIS is the absolute worst photo of Trump ever taken.
Under no circumstances should this be retweeted. Fuckface would be devastated to see it everywhere.
trump’s selfish need to make America’s 250th birthday ALL about HIM has sucked every ounce of joy out of it.
Instead of a unifying celebration of OUR country, we get another narcissistic trumpapalooza full of whining, grifting, and cult worship.
He ruins everything he touches. Even our history.
Under Trump, the Forest Service is gutting labs that cost ONE DOLLAR in rent so they can cram scientists into a Fort Collins office that costs taxpayers a million a year.
As reported by NPR, Trump's 2027 budget zeroes out Forest Service research entirely. Three hundred and nine million dollars, gone. Fifty-seven of the agency's seventy-seven research stations are on the chopping block.
These are the forests generations of Americans have hiked, hunted, camped, and prayed in. Sacred ground for almost anyone who's ever stepped outside in this country.
And the "efficiency" pitch? A scam.
The research station in Hilo, Hawaii sits on 30,000 acres the federal government rents for a one-time fee of ONE DOLLAR, locked in until 2067. The Michigan Tech lease? One dollar paid in 1963, free ever since. Another site costs the agency $600 a month for two rooms.
The destination they want everyone shipped to in Fort Collins runs taxpayers a million a year.
Read that again. They're closing dollar leases to expand a million-dollar lease.
Scientists in Baltimore have spent years planting white oak saplings that need three decades to mature. You can't FedEx a forest to Colorado. You can't manage a Hawaiian ecosystem from a cubicle in Utah.
Researchers told NPR they'll quit before they relocate. Which is the point.
Meanwhile, Trump has openly pledged to ramp up logging on federal land. Gut the scientists who document the damage, and there's nobody left to sound the alarm when ancient forests get clear-cut for profit.
These are the people who tell us when wildfire season turns deadly. Who track invasive beetles eating through pine. Who teach cities how to recycle dead trees instead of dumping them in landfills.
You don't dismantle the world's largest forestry research network because you're worried about a maintenance bill. You dismantle it because somebody plans to take a chainsaw to what the public owns and doesn't want a paper trail.
The forests don't belong to Tom Schultz. They don't belong to Trump. They belong to every American who has ever stood quiet under a hundred-year-old tree and understood, for one second, that some things are not for sale.
Defend them now, or explain it to your grandkids later.
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.

You have to read this.
Trump demolished the East Wing of the White House and replaced it with a private ballroom funded by corporate donors. Now we know what they got for it.
More than half of the publicly identified donors to that $400 million project won new or expanded federal contracts worth more than $50 billion in the 6 months after they gave. Most of those same companies also had federal enforcement actions against them suspended by the Trump Administration during the same period.
There is no honest word for that other than corruption.

Are you serious? Trump is selling this wildlife refuge in Alaska as if he owns it. I can guarantee you that corrupt motherfucker Trump is getting something out of this deal like a finders fee!💰
This is totally unacceptable! This will disrupt the natural wildlife on this refuge! With Trump nothing is sacred! Every national treasure he touches he destroys! As we come up on our 250th birthday nothing is sacred anymore. Who gave him the right? Congress must stop Trump!
Shouldn’t he be fixing the economy that he so royally fucked up? Oh, that’s right, we are screwed as Trump has fucked up the economy beyond all recognition!
Rep. Randy Fine (then a Florida state rep) was caught on video in the FL House chamber reaching across empty desks and pressing electronic voting buttons for multiple absent members during debate on an anti-BDS bill.
He said he was assisting with technical glitches and believed he had permission. FL House rules require in-person voting by the member; proxy voting is generally prohibited.
It was treated as a rules issue with no criminal charges. The clip resurfaced recently.
