Outrageous from the NYT to frame it as if they are being paid. Where’s the outrage over the actual paid influencers (with our federal tax dollars) that Hegseth hired and embedded in the DOD?
Daniel Ahmad@zhugeex.com · yesterdayIt takes you 20 paragraphs to get to the part of the article where they admit that Mamdani isn't paying the influencers and the reason they are posting videos of the stuff Mamdani is doing is because people are interested in watching it.
Sen. Fetterman backed out of attending the funerals of three police officers killed near his hometown after learning the ceremony would last at least three hours. When told it was essentially three separate funerals, he replied, “This may be a nonstarter”
it's jarring to think about how much federal funding used to go to stuff like cancer research, food safety, public health, science grants, and USAID and now it's private planes for ICE, $40 billion to Argentina and a ballroom where the East Wing of the White House used to be
This is a false choice- you can both not support Iran and also think that what Trump has done/is doing is dangerous and stupid. And also in effectual.

All of us who worked in COVID wards saw the horror of COVID. All sorts of people died- those with comorbidities. Those previously healthy. They died fast and often alone, except for their nurse (heroes). This guy can go fuck himself with his revisionist history 🤬🤬🤬

Brought to you by the party that also wants their children to die from vaccine preventable illness. I guess make America great means bringing back the days of death by age 50 and childhood mortality being quite common. Oh, and child labor laws are also so passe. Sign me up!

It’s not a Supreme Court anymore—it’s the Institute for the Advancement of Christofascism. Don’t listen to these normopath lawyers insisting precedents still hold water with these six religious zealots; they don’t. They don’t even follow the “irreparable harm” rule in equity cases.

Of course they are. There are nothing but Trump’s rubber stamp court at this point.
Aaron Parnas@aaronparnas.bsky.social · 2w ago🚨 The Supreme Court is allowing construction on Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom to continue for now, temporarily blocking lower-court orders that said the project needed congressional approval.

Trump, RFK Jr, & Dr Oz fell in love with a French researcher whose studies on hydroxychloroquine for Covid were hugely problematic & riddled with ethical problems Dr Fauci came under fire from RFK Jr & other MAHA/MAGA leaders for saying the drug was unproven, but Fauci was right

A person without any govt position, who has numerous financial conflicts of interest, should not conduct US foreign policy. And that’s before we get to the fact that he uses this role to corruptly solicit money for himself. It’s wrong. Many seem to have accepted it, but I’ll never stop objecting.

Rep. Ralph Norman, who’s in a Senate runoff with Lindsey Graham’s sister Darline, secretly urged a military-backed coup in 2021 to keep Trump in power. But the NY Times thinks it’s no big deal. In its last 92 stories mentioning Norman over 3 years and 7 months, it hasn’t stated that fact once. 1/7🧵

Trump just dismantled this so his blatant corruption and his cronies overseas can operate without consequences or detection. Organized crime is now legal and the US is open for exploitation by foreign and domestic criminals. Don’t expect Rubio to say a word.
The White House normally gets $2.5 million a year for maintenance. Trump’s team has allocated $875 million. That’s 350 years’ worth of the usual budget spent by a single administration.
