LOUDER FOR THE POLITICIANS HIDING IN THE BACK

submitted 33 days ago • 36 comments

any Democratic elected who says they can't win the politics of "should we give Trump the power to disappear innocent people into a concentration camp" has a terminal case of consultant brain and should be ruthlessly hounded from office

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

Mr. Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted by the Trump Admin and, by their own admission, wrongly deported to El Salvador. He shouldn’t have to spend another second away from his family. I'm flying to El Salvador tomorrow morning to check on his condition and discuss his return.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

We expected hundreds of thousands of people yesterday. Instead, millions of Americans flooded the streets to demand an end to Trump’s authoritarian power grab. Trump and Musk have spent their first 75 days in office trying to overwhelm us and make us feel powerless, but we’re not going anywhere.

Today has made me think of a quote from Andor: "Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward." I have never felt that more than today.

The message is: crowd large. Many politicians, administrators, and business leaders, in bowing to Trump, have drawn confidence and comfort from the perceived vibe shift. Events like this puncture that delusion.

5 million out in one day. Maybe now the media will stop falsely claiming how there's no "mass resistance" like there was in 2017. Corporate media may have stopped resisting, but the people haven't. And we never will.

So many things none of us will perceive will come out of today's gatherings. That's the point. People find each other, they take some strength and remember they aren't actually isolated and alone. This is fortification for what's to come.

The first major electoral test of the Trump-Musk regime and they flunked it. Thank you, Wisconsin.

Today the biggest split among Democrats is between those who want to stand and fight and those who want to play dead. House Democrats united to stand and fight. Too many Senate Democrats played dead. We need more leaders from the stand and fight wing of the Democratic Party.

In a total betrayal of their constituents and our democracy, 10 Democrats just voted with Senate Republicans to give Trump and Musk a blank check to continue their coup. @schumer.senate.gov led Democrats to this total surrender. We need strong leadership, not cowards who cave at any GOP pressure.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

It used to be clear that Democrats stood on the side of working people. Then they started chasing the “center.” Today’s Democratic establishment leaders have brought the party — and the country — down with them.

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet. They make sure we have clean water. They protect us from financial fraud. They provide healthcare to our communities. They make our government actually work for people. Do not forget this.

Trump and DOGE accused federal civil servants of fraud (with no evidence). Meanwhile, they're halting enforcement of a foreign anti-bribery law, dropping criminal charges against Eric Adams, and pardoning a former governor who tried to sell Obama's Senate seat. Hello?

I have colleagues in Silver Spring (NOAA HQ) who, let's just say "witnessed" Elon's team at facility and overheard them at various times. Apparently there was a conversation with "giggles" about plans to cancel non-SpaceX launch contracts thru NASA citing "inefficiency". That's pretty wild stuff.

To America’s 2.3 million federal employees: Don’t accept a buyout. Neither Musk nor even Trump has the legal authority to make such an offer. And even if they did, would you trust them to follow through on it? Sincerely, Robert Reich Former U.S.Secretary of Labor

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget. Really think about how twisted this all is.

This is the energy we need in the Senate right now. President Trump can’t do blatantly illegal things and expect a normal confirmation process. He wants to screw our systems to enrich corrupt billionaires? We will defy the norms for THE PEOPLE.

Republicans regularly demonize federal workers with lies and distortions. The truth is that federal employees are hard-working civil servants who typically could make more in private industry, but choose to work for the federal government because they want to help their fellow Americans.
