SEN. @schatz.bsky.social : "This is not about money. There is enough💰to bail out Argentina with ($40 BILLION). Enough to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173 MILLION for Noem. Enough to renovate the ballroom. What there isn't enough💰for under this Republican government is YOU."

I'm just a lowly art historian, but in moments like these I always think back to one early sign of Trump's wanton, pointless destructiveness: his demolition of the priceless & irreplaceable Art Deco relief sculptures on facade of the Bonwit Teller building, which he tore down to build Trump Tower

NBC just gutted the very teams that gave marginalized voices a seat at the table—then called it “restructuring.”

The cuts:

📌NBC BLK (Black community coverage)

📌NBC Latino (Latino community coverage)

📌NBC Asian America (Asian American community coverage)

📌NBC Out (LGBTQ+ community coverage)

Frankly if a multibillion dollar news company can't think of a next day story about a 7-million-person protest that ended with the president of the United States posting a video of himself shitting on America, everyone there should find a new line of work.

Of course not! Trump is a “Very Special Boy” whose tantrums and transgressions are ignored by the MSM on purpose.

We elect ONE black president, and that's it. All the standards go out the window in response.
In any other presidency, from Truman to Biden, the family monetization of the office & the use of immediate family members as a substitute for senior diplomats would have immediately ended it all. But here we are, with this One Special Boy, & we just stopped being a serious country. It’s maddening.
Why the f**k is Jared Kushner talking on behalf of the US government? And/or is involved in the this file?

In what capacity?

Also, they want to make content. And that means they are going to take the worst stuff people say in response to them (this being the internet, some of which might be quite bad) and splash it across the official comms organs of every major federal law enforcement agency. So take that into mind.
The reason they're coming after this place is because they can't control the people on it and it drives them nuts.

The CFPB is one of the most staunch financial watchdogs for the American people.

The agency has returned at least $20B to the victims of financial fraud and abuse since 2011.

It's no longer protecting consumers now...BECAUSE THIS REGIME DOESN'T WANT IT TO!

Horrifying, heartbreaking, and something everyone who counts themselves as a member of the Safe Routes to School movement should absolutely be speaking out about.

I think it would be a huge public service if major media outlets interviewed people given RIF notices and let them explain in detail what their jobs are so that people can judge for themselves whether these positions are wasteful like Trump and Vought claim or whether they help the country prosper.

Ask yourself this: who exactly is “briefing” and “reporting” on ANTIFA? Why are far right YouTubers and content creators briefing our country’s senior leaders and mainstream news media? ⬇️

CHICAGO — Outside an elementary school during dismissal… horrifying. What have we become?

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio insisted “no one has died” as a result of U.S. foreign aid cuts. In Myanmar, the grieving father of a 2-year-old boy who died after their food rations were cut calls such claims a lie.
Starving children screaming for food as US aid cuts unleash devastation and death across Myanmar
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has repeatedly said “no one has died" because of his government’s decision to gut its foreign aid program.

"This is supposed to be an oversight hearing" -- Schiff helpfully ticks through all of the incriminating questions -- and there are many of them -- that Bondi refused to answer during today's hearing
Seriously. Why don’t reporters come to Portland? Last weekend the Portland Marathon and Greek Festival occurred… no fires to be seen. It is so surreal listening to the President lying about a place you live. Absolutely dystopian.
