THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO SEE FROM EVERY DEMOCRAT IN OFFICE. Thank you, Congresswoman Melanie Stansbury

If incompetence is not an option, Senator @markwarner.bsky.social , why do you keep voting for these people when they are nominated for their positions?

Preach And listen to Marketplace

My weekly column and news roundup of our national crisis, written in the style of how the US media would—with more clear-eyed authority—cover these events if they were happening overseas: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/king-donal...

We need you and all of the others who are being unceremoniously fired from their careers for no reason except to further enrich the 1% of the 1%.

This will be a disaster. If they leave it open without staffing or reservations, it'll get trashed. They should use the staff they have to close it

I have never seen such weak messaging. For fucks sake…fight.

Wow, this is outrageous! DOGE claims they found fraud where 150 year olds were receiving Social Security! What a joke these incompetent, inexperienced folks running this department are! #BlueCrew #BlueCircleFamily🌈🦋 #BluePetPatrol💙🐾 #ProudBlue #Resist #TruthWarriors #antitrump #antimaga

Federal officials told Hawaiʻi nonprofits to delete references to climate change and Biden’s clean energy law from their websites.

It's actually really heartening to hear a Democratic Representative actually stating clearly just what the GOP is doing and giving it a reality check. www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2SKrK47/

I have work to do but I'm distracted by watching US scientific progress & leadership being irreversibly undermined because a few unelected malcontents are penalizing researchers for following legal requirements set out by congressional orders to augment basic research with benefits to society.

I suppose it sorta makes sense that early humans traded off fur coats and physical strength for big brains that allowed us to create clothes and tools and now we’re apparently trading off those big brains for the ability to use hallucinatory auto-complete to write reports for us.

Let me be even more explicit. Last March, I was part of a team of rangers who coordinated and executed the midnight helicopter rescue of a father and daughter stranded in six-foot snowdrifts 10,000 feet up Wheeler Peak. Was that "efficient"? I don't know. But I know we saved two lives that night.

Good work, rebel federal employees. Keep going. We need you. Thank you. 🧪

I really hope Democratic lawmakers took notice of the actions of Sen. Schatz, Sen. Kim, and others today and observed how quickly they were celebrated by millions of voters. This is not about getting the response 100% right or knowing exactly what the plan should be. It's about making an effort.

Way back in 2016, @GOP believed the truth: the economy is just a complex set of interactions between people, and govt should facilitate that. Tariffs are the opposite. It’s big govt. And they say I changed. LOL

The New Republic has kindly published what the LA Times and its RFK Jr-supporting billionaire owner Pat Soon-Shiong tried to suppress: newrepublic.com/article/1910...

Having watched with growing alarm the developments of the last 24 and 36 hours in Washington, I thought I’d take a stab at how the US media would cover this story if it was happening in a foreign country. Here’s that story that should be written this weekend: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...

Everyone reply should read “You said he learned his lesson. This is on you”

Why is the federal government blowing over $800K on a huge military plane to deport just 79 immigrants to Guatemala, when a regular flight used to cost us $100K? It’s all for show! And the truth—they weren’t rapists, murderers, or criminals.
