Trump's budget isn't a MAGA budget. It's not even a MAHA budget. It's a war budget—and I'll be ripping it up and writing a new one.

It's the one about not serving both God and Mammon? “No man can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will hold to the one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Doubt Hannity served both. Mammon is pretty much his guy.
Former UN Ambassador Rice: "The U.S. is systematically weakening itself across all 5 pillars of global power— Military: increased spending without modernization, depleted weapons stockpiles, politicized purges of experienced officers/generals, weakened legal/military norms, and a costly Iran 🇮🇷 1/7
Trump’s huge military budget would be the largest in American history—more than WWII. @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social

Melania Trump wants these photos and emails to be scrubbed from the Internet. Please stop liking and sharing them. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
DEMOCRATS GET BACK TO WASHINGTON WHETHER JOHNSON CALLS EVERYBODY BACK OR NOT!!!!! MEET OUTSIDE THE CAPITAL IF YOU HAVE TO, IN A SHOW OF FORCE.
The FY2027 budget requests $1.5 trillion for military spending and pays for it by gutting NOAA, FEMA grants, NIH, and fully eliminating programs that keep the lights on for struggling Americans.
NEW: We have seen DOJ secure a search warrant to seize ballots in Georgia and a subpoena to seize ballots in Arizona. Now a sheriff is seizing ballots in California. This is a crisis unfolding in real time. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
GOP sheriff seizes 650,000 ballots in challenge to California redistricting vote
The California attorney general has informed the sheriff that it is “unacceptable” for the sheriff’s staff members to conduct a hand count of the ballots without training or experience.

Give the bill a name like SAVE TSA Schedule a press conference EVERY DAY to provide updates on airport delays and to explain what happened to the American people. EVERY DAY. If it’s not on TV repeatedly most Americans don’t know it happened.
HOULAHAN: Will you commit that the DoD will not deploy military personnel at polling places? HUMIRE: I reserve decisions based on the president Q: Would you do that unlawful act? HUMIRE: It would go through the same review process as every request we get from the WH Q: There's already a law
The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.
Complacency is why we are where we are today. You owe it to yourself, your family, your community, your country, the fucken world! You simply MUST be involved in our democracy or it will die. The midterms can turn the tide! VOTE BLUE! Thank you, Ms. Jenifer Lewis.
My theory is that they know their agenda is horribly unpopular, and the religious lock-in they have relied on for decades is being eroded as people reject fundamentalist bigotry. It's long been said that conservatives will abandon democracy before conservatism.
NEW: DOJ sued Washington State for access to the state's unreacted voter data. However, it failed to file proof that it served the complaint. So now the federal judge has asked DOJ to show cause as to why this case should not be dismissed. www.democracydocket.com/cases/washin...
A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States, thereby justifying the need to “federalize” elections. We must anticipate it, with sadness and resolution, and not be surprised, if it happens. snyder.substack.com/p/the-desire...

WATCH — @jamestalarico.bsky.social : “Every dollar we spend bombing people in the Middle East is one we’re not spending here at home. We’re always told we don’t have enough money for schools or healthcare or for veterans, but there’s always enough to bomb people on the other side of the world.”

ICYMI: Republicans BLOCKED my bill to fund TSA. Republicans are punishing travelers and forcing TSA agents to work without pay because they want to cut another blank check for ICE & Border Patrol. It's shameful.
This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians 2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor 3) Donors make huge profit 4) Repeat We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.
I’m hollering at my screen… yaaas! Actress Sheryl Underwood, an Air Force Reserve veteran, is asking the questions we all want answers to. “Why is this not impeachable? And where are the politicians that say, ‘this dude don’t have it all the way together, he cannot be the commander in chief?’” 🔥
The Pentagon is swimming in cash after the last GOP budget. They can’t even pass an audit for their spending. The bill was loaded up with so many earmarks the Pentagon doesn’t even know how to spend it all. But now Trump wants more. No amount of military spending for the war machine is enough.
Bibi played Trump like a down home country fiddle. And we are the ones paying the price. When Trump goes, Bibi needs to go with him. #SheShed
How dare her!! 🧐🤨 "When people like Kamala Harris send our sons and daughters, our young people, to fight in stupid wars, it is the young generation that carries the burden of that. We're gonna stop sending our young people to far away lands. We are not the policemen of the world."
