  1. Honoring #Labor

    Something Biden was all about. No matter what else, he was of & for 'the people' - workers, laborers, families.

    Trump? Labor is for the little people.... Let Sir repeat his wondrous wins!

    Sick, twisted, tangential... Be it #dementia or #BrainSpurs mixed with #TrumpVirus... What a contrast between a President serving #WeThePeople & improving our lives, versus a #grifter, #liar, #felon there to take it ALL for himself!

  2. My country is also qualified for the following

    Kleptocracy

    The corrupt people running SR also steal all resources of the country blind, leaving absolutely nothing for the population.
    Minimum wage, Social Security in comparison to a minister salary is so large in difference it is laughable

    Quotes

    Kleptocrats abuse the freedoms found in Western countries by transferring funds out of a kleptocracy and into Western jurisdictions for money laundering and asset security. Since 2011, more than $1 trillion has left developing countries annually in illicit financial outflows. A 2016 study found that $12 trillion had been siphoned out of developing economies.[15] Western professional services providers are often taken advantage of by exploiting legal and financial loopholes in the West to facilitate transnational money laundering.[16][17] The kleptocratic financial system typically comprises four steps according to one opinion.[18]

    > Here's where your money is going instead.

    Yes, all jokers!

    The only apt metaphor with cards, for this Stable Genius who managed to bankrupt casinos and everything he touches...

    "He's playing without a full deck."
    And as has been pointed out (Late Nite), these cards are UNO. A game whose goal is to end with the FEWEST cards. "Like bragging about the highest golf score."

    Three essays castigating Europe. The coda declines the exam. You cannot out-parasite the original parasite. Europe's real option: pre-Friedman capitalism, upgraded.

  6. When declining to commit to permanently scrapping the controversial $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization" #MAGASlushFund, #Trump claims he doesn’t know if the $1.8 billion fund is dead, & calls it ‘a beautiful thing’

  7. During the #House #Appropriations Committee hearing on Tuesday, #Democrats repeatedly requested that #ToddBlanche commit in writing to rescinding the order creating the weaponization #SlushFund.

    “I’m not committing to putting anything in writing,” he said, saying only that he would abide by his word.

    [okay, so obvious bullshit]

  8. That could block #public #access to more than 700 million White House emails, among countless other records, in Archives possession since the #law went into effect in 1978, Baron said.

    …The impact of the #DOJ opinion could be felt quickly by #historians, #scholars & #journalists who regularly access presidential records & make requests for their release.

  9. By contrast, large #corporations in #Minneapolis have been much less vocal about the effects of #immigration enforcement on the city, known as both a bastion of progressive politics in the #US #Midwest & a robust corporate #employer. 17 #Fortune500 companies are based in #Minnesota, including #Target, #UnitedHealth, & #GeneralMills.

  10. understand the disruptive importance of social platforms, which is why the administration pushes back on EU regulation. We have to stand up for our values and our way of life as the big tech bros just want to push autoritarianism - it makes them and their cronies rich and the rest poor. If you wonder what such a looks like, modern day Russia, Hungary or the ancient Versailles regime under the sun king are great examples.

  11. #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.

  12. In a social media post, Sen #PattyMurray, D-WA, called the potential changes "a clear violation of #education & #appropriations #law."

    The Education Dept has a dedicated Office of #SpecialEducation & Rehabilitative Services, &, as w/the federal #StudentLoan portfolio, it's unclear how these collective responsibilities on behalf of #children w/ #disabilities could be moved legally w/o a vote of #Congress.

  13. Thousands in #Midwestern #GOP Districts Attend #Sanders' First Stops on Tour to Fight #Oligarchy

    "It's like there's only one person who is actually able to sidestep the demoralization and frustration," said one observer.

    Julia Conley, Feb 22, 2025

    "After addressing more than 3,400 #Nebraska residents in Omaha Friday evening, U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders on Saturday made his second stop on his National Tour to Fight Oligarchy—telling Iowa City, #Iowa residents that '#Trumpism will not be defeated by politicians inside the #DCBeltway.'

    "'For better or worse, that is not going to happen,' said the Vermont Independent senator, whose broadly popular policy proposals have long been dismissed by Democratic leaders as unrealistic and radical while President Donald Trump has increasingly captured the attention of the #WorkingClass Americans who would benefit most from Sanders' ideas.

    "'It will only be defeated by millions of Americans in Iowa, in #Vermont, in Nebraska, in every state in this country, who come together in a strong #grassroots movement and say no to oligarchy, no to #authoritarianism, no to #kleptocracy, no to massive cuts to programs that #LowIncome and working Americans desperately need, no to huge #TaxBreaks for the #wealthiest people in this country,' said Sanders.

    "The senator announced his tour earlier this month as #ElonMusk, the head of the Trump-created Department of Government Efficiency ( #DOGE) who poured $277 million on the president's campaign, swept through numerous agencies, with DOGE staffers setting up illegal servers, seizing control of data, shutting federal employees out of offices, and working to shut down operations across the government.

    "Since Trump took office for his second term just over a month ago, roughly 30,000 federal employees have been fired or laid off—part of Musk's push to cut $2 trillion in federal spending in order to fill the $4.6 trillion hole that Trump's extension of the 2017 tax cuts would blow in the deficit.

    "#Republican lawmakers have also pushed to include cuts to #Medicaid, and Trump this week signaled he would back #Medicare cuts after repeatedly insisting he would not slash the popular healthcare program used by more than 65 million Americans, in order to save money while handing out tax cuts to the same #corporations and #ultrawealthy households that benefited from the 2017 tax law.

    "'Today in America we are rapidly moving toward an #oligarchic form of society where a handful of #multibillionaires not only have extraordinary wealth, but unprecedented economic, media, and political power,' said Sanders in Iowa City, which like Omaha is represented by a Republican U.S. House member who narrowly won reelection last November and has faced pressure to reject the GOP budget plan. 'Brothers and sisters, that is not the democracy that men and women fought and died to defend.'"

  14. The spox provided [an #unserious & #flippant] statement saying only, “The ProPublica geniuses, much to our dismay, have discovered #DevinNunes’ secret plan to reconstitute Alexander the Great’s empire & get Chris #Pavlovski named King of Macedon.”

    Spokespeople for the #Trump campaign, #Rumble & the Macedonian PM didn’t respond to questions.
