@Lorrrraaaaine Yeah, time for every single Kennedy Center employee to show up in masks and get fired en masse. It's collaborate or resist time.

i was lucky and mine got forgiven by Biden early on

i paid for over 20 years and by the time it was forgiven i owed more than i borrowed

and just a reminder, the covid loans were forgiven and mostly wealthy people benefited by the forgiveness

Bloomberg:

The US State Department approved F-16 fighter-jet training and services for #Ukraine worth up to $350 million, signaling that the White House will keep supporting Kyiv in the fight against #Russia despite Trump’s impatience to end the war.

Breaking: Trump says he is quite explicitly violating a federal law.

In total #disrespect of #Veterans, #Trump says he is renaming #VeteransDay as ‘Victory Day for World War I’

Trump said he would also label May 8, known as “V-E Day” for “Victory in Europe”, as “Victory Day for World War II,” to commemorate the end of #WWII, but, clearly unbeknownst to the #IdiotInChief, only the war in #Europe came to an end in May. The Americans—quite famously—continued to fight the Japanese until August 1945.

…#Trump & #DOGE have aggressively flouted #Congress’s power with potentially [definitely] #illegal freezes on spending, & many of the moves have ended up in #court, where judges have at least temporarily reversed some actions.

Trump has frozen or canceled at least $430 billion in funds since taking office, according to an estimate compiled by the top #Democrats on the #House & #Senate #appropriations committees.

Elizabeth Warren: "Donald Trump’s latest corruption? A $2 BILLION stablecoin deal with a foreign crypto company that will benefit the Trump family business. And it gets worse — the Senate is getting ready to bless this kind of grift. But it's not too late to make changes. Here's the latest:" — Bluesky

Caring about measles outbreaks and chronic diseases at the same time are not mutually exclusive. The issue is that measles has unnecessarily come back due to low vaccination rates because of the lies that have been spreading for far too long. Also, how are we to address chronic disease with all these cuts to research and environmental regulations?

@MalcolmNance
May the same thing happen to this administration as hapoened to Mussolini.

Terminated January 6th case #prosecutor: At the end of the night, 15 Assistant U.S. Attorneys had been fired.

My termination letter said it was for prosecuting January 6th cases.

“U.S. Attorneys represent the United States of America, not the #President.”

It’s clear Trump’s never read the founding documents. Perhaps someone could show him the Schoolhouse Rock versions.

#EmilBove, a snr #Trump #DOJ ofcl, ordered an immediate investigation, primarily of one particular #student group, #Columbia University Apartheid Divest…
Bove told prosecutors in the #CivilRights division to obtain a membership #list…. Investigators…pushed back on those instructions because they were skeptical such a list existed, given the amorphous nature of online forums, & even if it did, scrutinizing people for membership seemed like a violation of their #FirstAmendment rights.

A political cartoon about #MAGA from Nick Anderson:

America is in collapse because America is full of people who are eye-gougingly stupid.
