Defund DOGE, #doge

Democrats hold the line. Do NOT agree to fund DOGE.

Texts asking for money Chuck Schumer, the 17th district of New York, AG of Colorado. How clueless are these candidates?

1400 more firings at Veterans Affairs: "Officials said specifically that Veterans Crisis Line responders were not affected by the dismissals. But workers within the department said that support staff for the crisis line were among the workers let go..." www.militarytimes.com/veterans/202...

#ActBlue says it does not send our text numbers to candidates & groups asking for money. Yet, these organizations direct us to Act Blue to submit our donations. You can't have it both ways, Act Blue can clearly put conditions on solicitations from organizations if it is going to process donations.

So what Doug Collins is doing here is slowly dripping out these firings a little at a time. Nothing to see here! Nobody protest or anything. thehill.com/policy/defen...

The firings at VA have begun. And they’re only getting started. “VA dismisses more than 1,000 employees” news.va.gov/press-room/v...

There’s lots of radical and unprecedented stuff happening inside goverment already. Including an attempted, little-publicized, highly-damaging hiring freeze at VA. A freeze that would hurt veterans nationwide. youtu.be/TKYGFC05FGw?...

These assholes don’t give a flying fuck about veterans. — “I think what we’re going to see is that no one on the veteran side is going to miss their health care provider because of this new hiring freeze,” VA secretary nominee Doug Collins. www.militarytimes.com/veterans/202...

Congressman and veteran @repdeluzio.bsky.social lays out the ongoing semi-stealth effort to dismantle veterans healthcare. — The GOP is waging a stealth attack on veterans healthcare  thehill.com/opinion/heal...

This is his last hurrah, if he doesn’t get this position his career is over.

I assume that MJ ratings are tanking to the point of new hosts?

This is too dumb an argument to even qualify as an argument.

WE. HAD. A. DEAL. bsky.app/profile/dona...

Repost if BlueSky is now your primary social media site.

It also means more vets need help than ever before.

Dems need to blame everything on tariffs. I don't care if they have gone into effect or not, blame the tariffs. Americans are idiots, so we only need one word, "tariffs".

Someone pinch me to make sure I'm not dreaming.

Pete Hegseth thinks that disabled veterans shouldn't apply for all of the benefits that they qualify for if injured in the line of service. Vile man has zero leadership experience and has no business running the Department of Defense.

Politics 101: Recess Appointments

Stay vigilant. Joe and Mika are the first to bow to Trump. They won't be the last. I will not comply.

PRO TIP: MAGAts have figured out that, after many of us left Twitter, that they really have no purpose in life without being able to troll us. Don't let anyone shame you into thinking that it's somehow wrong or cowardly to BLOCK these assholes. This is OUR good place. Block those dumb fuckers.

Senator Cramer on recess appointment: I just think it would be unwise to do that if he can't get the votes of the majority party, which is his party

Now that I've fled Leon's site for bluer skies, I'm sure I'll be called an #Ex-X, but personally, I'll always consider myself a #TwitterQuitter.
