We don’t talk enough about how autocrats view taxpayer dollars—not as public resources to serve the people, but as a pot of gold to enrich themselves and their allies. Their focus isn’t public welfare; it’s personal profit and power.

This is your daily reminder that Trump and Republicans are spending billions of your tax dollars on an unauthorized war in Iran and Stephen Miller’s ICE agenda while gutting Medicaid, slashing SNAP, and driving up your health care costs.

Unreal. Justice Department staff were railroaded again by political interference in the Paramount-Warner Bros merger review. None of the investigators on the deal had any role in writing the unprecedented clearance statement issued by DOJ last Friday.

Dying a bit here. All these provisions being touted as major successes are laid out explicitly in the jcpoa
.@VP: "One of the core parts of the agreement is that the IAEA and the United States are going to help Iran destroy the highly enriched stockpile, and that's something that's spelled out very clearly in the MOU."

Unless your name was Alex Pretti.
The Second Amendment is your right. It is not up for negotiation. Republicans will always defend it.
Community note
This post claims strong 2A support, yet H.R. 645 (National Constitutional Carry Act) has been stalled in the House Judiciary Committee since Jan 23, 2025 (no hearings or floor vote). The GOP-led Congress has funded the ATF near prior levels despite proposed deeper cuts. congress.gov/bill/119th-con… govtrack.us/congress/bills… rollcall.com/2026/02/25/atf…

If we won the war, why isn’t Iran paying us? That’s usually the way it works.

Pro tip: get a library card, even if you won't use it much. Cities look at those numbers, and they help keep libraries open, funded properly, and safe from budget cuts.

I would be failing at my duties as the J6 Gossip Girl, if I didn’t tell you that Enrique Tarrio snuck into DC with a warrant and met with Ed Martin this week.

As I recall, the JCPOA did not give Iran $24 billion, control of the Strait of Hormuz, and the promise of a $300 billion reconstruction package. Nor did it cost American lives and treasure, deplete our armaments and shred our relationship with many allies in the Arab world.
Um: preamble to 2015 JCPOA that Trump tore up: "Iran reaffirms that under no circumstances will Iran ever seek, develop, or acquire any nuclear weapons." Literally the same.

Among many hotel stays at the Marriott and many, many flights on American Airlines, Byron Donalds transferred $70,000 from his SuperPAC to Highwood Capital LLC. Why is a political candidate transferring campaign funds to a hedge fund? 🤷‍♂️

Are you telling me my tax dollars are being sent to rebuild all the shit that Pete Hegseth blew up also with my tax dollars
BREAKING: Iran says the US has agreed to pay $300 billion in reconstruction funds directly to Iran as part of the deal Pakistan announced, alongside the release of $24 billion in frozen funds with $12 billion released before negotiations even start, per Mehr News. This directly contradicts Trump's & Vance's claim that no funds will be transferred to Iran at all. If Trump denies this is true, there never was a deal. If Trump confirms, the US has fully capitulated to Iran's demands.

70–80-year-olds are mostly shunned from being hired by companies, they're considered unemployable because of mental decline and physical decline... Yet people vote them in when they run for office. 🤷‍♂️

Sen. Deb Fischer: "Iran played us and we ended up sending pallets of cash to them. I doubt that's going to happen under President Trump."

This is egregious! These kids are in this pool because there is no other coverage available to them. What would you do?
Tennessee is sending letters to immigrant parents of disabled and terminally ill children enrolled in a last-resort public health program — kids on ventilators, kids with cancer, kids in wheelchairs - telling them that if their child keeps receiving medical care after June 30, the state will report them to ICE. This program has existed for over 50 years. It has never required immigration status. Until now. Children's Special Services is Tennessee's last-resort public health insurance program for low-income kids with the most severe disabilities and life-threatening illnesses - kids with no other coverage, no other options. The state just sent letters to at least 90 Nashville families giving them an impossible choice: keep your child alive, or stay invisible. One mother, Gabriella, has a 10-year-old son born with spina bifida who requires near-monthly emergency care. They're six months from a final ruling on their asylum case. She said if they're sent back to Honduras, "he's not going to make it." Here's the part that should make your head explode: the law Tennessee is using to justify this explicitly applies only to people 18 and older. These are children. Pediatricians, advocates, and lawmakers are all saying the state is misapplying its own law to reach kids it was never meant to cover. The Tennessee Justice Center says the directive is unlawful and is preparing a legal challenge. But families are afraid to come forward as plaintiffs. Because coming forward means being seen. The state health department has not responded to a single press request for comment. What kind of government sends a letter to the mother of a child on a ventilator and calls it immigration enforcement? 📷 Jose Carlos Cerdeno/Getty #DemsUnited

The DOJ is attempting a cover-up. I discovered a quiet policy change that now lets the AG approve prison transfers at their discretion. This comes after they moved Ghislaine Maxwell to a prison that doesn't allow sex offenders. This is an attempt to cover their tracks. I will keep demanding answers.

I'm shocked they haven't deleted this tweet confirming that DOGE cut the funding for the screwworm eradication program. Have the plague you voted for!

A government agency spending $300 million in taxpayer dollars to produce sterilized flies sounds like a dream scenario for a DOGE team looking to cut waste, fraud, and abuse. newsmax.com/platinum/screwwo…
