Democratic Senator Says He Will Stall Trump Nominees Until USAID Is Back



Democratic Senator Says He Will Stall Trump Nominees Until USAID Is Back
Sen. Brian Schatz (D., Hawaii) said he would place a “blanket hold” on all of President Trump’s State Department nominees until the administration’s attack on the leading U.S. foreign-assistance agency ends, a move that threatens to stall Trump’s ability to get his foreign-policy team in place.



 Dear Democratic Leaders:  here’s a free idea, send members of congress into the buildings where Elon's people are and see what they’re doing.  Dare them to stop you.

Do something. - Adam Kinzinger







 The World Is A Safer Place Without Trump


As a proud Canadian I have to laugh because he's trying to take over a country he can't legally enter because he's a felon LOL! - Trish Austin








Musk: Only Newspeak Allowed!



Rep. Jamie Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the Treasury, but you don't control the money of the American people. The US Congress does that under Article 1 of the Constitution ... we don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk'"








What if there were a coup, the US government fell to a drug-addled oligarch who seized control of our money, secrets, and levers of power, and Corporate media did not report on it? - David Rothschild









Republican Shenanigans


Imagine if our planes were being flown by drunken rapists, heroin addicts, tax cheats and deranged religious cultists - you know, Trump's cabinet. - Paul Rudnick







Apparently, Musk Wants To Be The First Trillionaire.








On the whole I’d rather have Hunter Biden messing with a laptop than Elon messing with the Treasury Dept’s computers. - Andy Borowitz








In 2012, when I was the US ambassador to Russia, Putin shut down USAID inside Russia. Why? Because their work supported free markets, democracy, human rights —ie causes that threatened Putin's dictatorship. Shutting down USAID is exactly what autocrats all over the world want. - Michael McFaul












"World's richest man seizes control of U.S. Treasury and directs payments be made in accordance with his personal preferences" is so far beyond a constitutional crisis that I don't even know what term to use. - Susan Simpson








Did She Get Strong Armed or is She Being Strategic?
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Monday that her country had reached a series of agreements with President Donald Trump and that tariffs will be put on hold for one month, starting now.

    Why do you think the cat on the left is a male? Is it because he's overweight, poorly groomed, has hair in his ears and is sporting tRumps mean and nasty mug-shot expression?
    Yeah, that sounds about right. 😼

      The one on the left looks..."stressed". Draggin' that undercarriage in the snow-if you get my drift (npi).

    I would think the male would sport the more showy tail and brighter colors. The females are the hunters.

    😵‍💫 I try, Lisa, I really try not to overwhelm your comments section with too much anger at what the news is every day. And these days that is very a very difficult task. I will say that I hope my fellow AHNC are looking under the sofa cushions for the coins to keep you going...and I'll make you a deal. If the richest, whitest Nazi on the planet (along with his skinny little incel terrorists) deposits my Social Security check this month, I'll send you a little of it.😬🤬 I appreciate that you always give me juicy info, and memes to share, that I don't find on other sites. All trusted sites are more important than ever...the coup is in process and could be over before the MSM will ever report it and some MSM has already been steamrolled and/or disappeared by it! Yikes!! 😱

    🤔 Hmm! Re: the meme that no one can locate a Musk voter...I think I can make a strong case that there are 77,301,197 (per Cook Political Report) Musk voters! That's how many gave their votes to Sphincter Face and they knew the Nazi was joined at the hip. They saw the Nazi everywhere with Trump, they signed up for his "big cardboard check" giveaways at Sphincter rallies, and they thought it was cool that the Nazi is as big a public fool for Sphincter as they are!! 🤪🤪
    Oh, and that meme about the Nazi's nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize? Ridiculously true! He was nominated last year and again this year by Branko Grims, a Slovenian member of the European Union. Grims is just as Cuckoo-for-Sphincter-Face as Musk Is! But, Grims is even more cuckoo for the Nazi owner of twiXter!! Grims' reason for the nomination is utter lunacy:
    "I propose that Elon Musk receives the Nobel Peace Prize...because he did much more for the freedom of speech, which is a basic human right, much more than anybody else in the third millennium." He also cited Musk's purported crusade against censorship, and said Musk's takeover of Twitter (now the misinformation-filled X) and Trump's reelection stood as "the best of what [could have] happened for Western civilization!!" 🙃🙃🙃🤪🤪🤪

    😁👂 I'm not the least bit surprised that scientists report humans used to be able to move our ears, independently from our heads, in the direction of sounds to hear them better! I wish I could do that today. I don't care about hearing the sound...I'm just jealous of animals that can do that! Horses look really strong and aloof when they do it and cats look super cute and delightfully subversive! Come on, ears, WIGGLE FOR ME!! 🤣🤣
