Eisenhower: “In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.”
A Palantir billionaire just called for public hangings.

“It's time to bring back masculine leadership to protect our most vulnerable,” writes Joe Lonsdale.

This is where Silicon Valley authoritarianism is heading:

The Trump administration is pushing to expand grazing on public lands while reducing its already low cost, under the false premise that it will fill America’s coffers.

Wealthy ranchers are profiting — at the expense of taxpayers.

Wealthy Ranchers Profit From Public Lands. Taxpayers Pick Up the Tab.
A ProPublica and High Country News investigation found that government programs supporting grazing on public lands prop up a wealthy few while harming the environment. The Trump administration is supe...

Trump launched a probe into Sen. Kelly because he said the military shouldn’t obey ILLEGAL orders.

Trump is yet again abusing his power to go after his opponents.

This is absurd.

No one should fear a political witch-hunt just for standing up for the rule of law.

The budget didn't bother the powerful.

No windfall tax on banks. Govt subsidy of £23bn+ continues.

No windfall tax on energy companies, £125bn profit since 2020.

Corporate profiteering and subsidies continue. No curbs on corporate welfare.

85,500 have wealth of £2.8 trillion, hardly touched.
The government’s budget is simply managing decline
The budget does little to improve living standards or facilitate sustained economic growth

Corporate Democrats are almost as bad as Republicans.

We need to swing hard left and bring America into the future.
Yet 86 house dems just voted yay to pass a bill titled "denouncing the horrors of socialism"🤮

Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone.

Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work.

Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.

The right wing elite are ruthless in protecting their own and getting what they want.
They wanted Johnson. (And what a disaster that was for us).
Now they want Farage. (Would be an off the scale catastrophe for the country).
Time we woke up to the betrayal.

WTF
In Rhode Island, ICE arrested an intern who worked for a court, and then a judge intervened to say they had the wrong person.

All leading to a scene where ICE agents surrounded the judge's car and "threatening to smash in the windows if they did not comply." www.wfla.com/news/judge-i...

The brutality unleashed by the Trump administration against critics, immigrants, cities, political enemies, and so-called terrorists is more than an echo of fascism’s mobilizing passions; it is a signal of what is to come.

EVERY one of those 86 Democrats👇 MUST be PRIMARIED ‼️

Yes that bill put them in a Catch-22 position by conflating ALL "Socialiam" with the "horrors" of Cuba and Venezuela, but they made the WRONG choice, an UNFORGIVABLE choice.

Trump's National Guard deployments have cost over $473 MILLION.

A disgusting misuse of federal resources, taxpayer dollars, and US troops’ service.

Doing this while firing federal workers and kicking millions off of healthcare is just the cherry on top of the dumpster fire that is the Trump admin.

8 GOP Senators snuck a provision into the emergency funding bill that would let them sue the gov. for MILLIONS if their phone data is accessed w/out their knowledge.

This doesn’t protect YOUR privacy, it carves out a self-serving deal just for themselves.

We deserve better.

They all have lucrative government contracts — and they're all donors to Trump's ballroom.
