Oh the irony. Oh the hypocrisy.
Pete Hegseth in 2016: "If it was anyone other than Hillary Clinton, they would be in jail right now... because the assumption is in the intelligence community, if you are using unclassified means, there is the potential for and likelihood that foreign governments are targeting those accounts."

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Dr. Oz, nominated by Trump to head up Medicare and Medicaid, is all in on the plan to take nurses out of nursing homes.
WYDEN: Do you believe in a nursing home there should be a registered nurse available around the clock?

DR OZ: As you know, that's a complicated question

WYDEN: No it's not. We need a nurse in a nursing home. Not too complicated.

Left-wing protestors storm Tesla dealerships and Trump Tower and give everyone hope and life.

Centrist politicians bow to fascists without so much as putting up a fight and call it 'strategy' and give everyone RAGE and DISILLUSIONMENT.

I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you’re fired!

This is a really thoughtful and practical piece on supporting people with #LongCovid. I’d urge you to consider extending many of these same supports to their caregivers. #LongCovidAwarenessDay
Living with Long Covid can be a very isolating experience. If you know someone with Long Covid or other post viral illnesses like ME reach out today.
A short text or message can mean the world and lets us know we haven't been forgotten. Below are other ways you can help 2/2 #LongCovidAwareness

Today is Long COVID Awareness Day.

We recognise those living with LC and those caring for people with LC.

We must all provide support and join the call for research and a remedy for LC.

I just saw a shorter version of this on TV.
"We will find you, we will deport you, and you will never come back."
The bit between that and "Leave now and..." was cut and I think the begining was shorter.

It was scary and extremely direct.

The Trump administration isn't just going after "regulations" or an "agency," they're going after your health, clean air, and water.

The Environmental Protection Agency protects every American family. Dismantling it will be paid for in lives.
Today EPA chief Lee Zeldin announced that the agency is rolling back 31 regulations.

He's taking aim at mercury, soot, and toxic pollution restrictions, and federal protection of wetlands.

The EPA will also rewrite rules limiting pollution from fossil-fuel plants and cars, and more.

The Trump administration replaced the top lawyer at the IRS in a shake-up that coincided with efforts by officials to access taxpayer data for immigration enforcement. The chief counsel position is one of the highest-ranking roles at the IRS and one of only two that require Senate confirmation.
