You cannot determine whether you saved or cost money based solely on one side of the ledger. Example: I saved my household $2K by not paying the mortgage.

The FBI should just arrest a DOGE person for compromising national security. They can do that. No White House permission needed. The FBI doesn't require such high-level permission to make arrests for obvious crimes. It would be like cops getting permission from the mayor to arrest bank robbers.

As of now it would be nice if everyone screamed at their governments that RUSSIA IS DRONING NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS IN THE MIDDLE OF EUROPE If I could ask you guys to do something - please let it be this

To wrap up a night where I had too much time on social media because my model was taking forever to train: Instead of “the DOJ is executing quid pro quo” like half my Bluesky feed wants to do, the Democrats should place a relentless focus on “an unelected billionaire is cutting your benefits”.

ask your member of congress why they have turned the entire government over to people you wouldn’t trust to sit with your child while you go to the bathroom. these people are dangerous to your children and ask your congressmen why they enable it.

Some warm news for you. Ukrainian serviceman Pavlo Zuban, who was rescued from russian captivity, has finally seen his younger daughter Yarynka for the first time in person. Earlier, she has always joined her older sister Varvara and mom at the rallies for POWs' release. Photo Poltava Zmist.

Realistically, one of the best hopes Democrats have of stopping this is to flip Stefanik's Trump +21 seat in the NY special election. Doing that would send a chill through the GOP and cut their majority to 219-216. Right now, they've got a self-assigned mandate. blakegendebienforcongress.com

So this is one of the most counterintuitive things about elections: In most races, whether you win or lose actually just depends on the year and the seat you run in. It has little to do with whether you were a good candidate (i.e. "do you get more votes than most others in your place would?").

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

I remember when Charles Manson opened the throttle on blowing through apparent legal limits, often with no clear public explanation for how his actions could be consistent with the rule of law.

Let them. Make them sweat and suffer and bleed as much as possible, the more they do that, the more time people have to wake the fuck up.

Genuinely moronic piece, but emblematic of why so many "contrarian" and "dissident" writers have secumbed to Trumpism; the entire thing just oozes with contempt for the idea of defending existing institutions.

We have two very different assessments of what's going on here: 1-The official story, from Treasury, that there's nothing to see here, it's just an "operational efficiency assessment" 2-The story from the IT professionals in the government, that this is a code rewrite in progress. I believe #2.

Hear me out — If parents call colleges freaked about their FAFSA data being leaked, schools may have to issue statements — which would reach a whole lot more families about how warped this is. Organizing isn’t always calling electeds. Sometimes it’s just calling people with a bigger megaphone.

1. Unannounced CalOSHA inspection at Tesla Fremont factory 2. Write up every single thing (there is always something to write even in a well run factory, I've done audits for years) 3. Executive order signed by Newsom shutting the factory This is something that could happen tomorrow. Fight dirty

People we need to get our reps to wake up and do something! I live in a blue state and all my reps are Dems so it’s easy to think I don’t need to reach out and tell them to oppose this and that. Of course they oppose it. NO! They need to do something! www.offmessage.net/p/fear-itsel...

This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Think about how fast it went from Trump personally is not liable to prosecution for official acts to Trump’s big Nazi donor’s extralegal and unaccountable goon squad is not subject to arrest.

Democrat Lawmakers… Start going into the offices of EVERY GOVERNMENT AGENCY… DEMAND TO MEET WITH ANY REPRESENTATIVES FROM DOGE IN THOSE OFFICES. DEMAND THEY IDENTIFY THEMSELVES. PUBLISH THEIR NAMES. IF THEY REFUSE TO IDENTIFY THEMSELVES, POST THEIR PICTURE AND WE’LL IDENTIFY THEM.

I love how the outrage here is that federal employees refused to let Musk’s minions from DOGE — a bullshit private body that has absolutely no right to access this info — have open access to federal systems. It’s like getting indignant that a mugger’s victim had the audacity to resist.
