Trump fired 12 inspectors general last night. Meanwhile the top Democrat in charge of oversight, 74 year old Rep. Gerry Connolly, hasn't done a media hit in over 2 weeks

Ah yes, the 75 year old guy who beat AOC for the position.

Andy Kim voted for Noem. I have no idea why. I just wrote him telling him no more votes for Trump nominees.

he also represents Fairfax County, full of government workers (whose bosses are now fucking with them) and contractors (who can't be happy with all the impoundment shit.) seldom is a congressman more obligated or better positioned to stand up for federal workers!

True talk. You think republicans are the only ones to spend months in a care home before people know

Desperately hoping @justicedemocrats.bsky.social or someone gets active here. I moved here two years and don’t have the connects but I’m losing my mind here man.

I mean given the standard prognosis for his kind of cancer, I don’t think a primary will actually be necessary by the spring of 2026, though it’s absolutely the kind of seat JD et al should be targeting.

maybe it was an oopsie to nominate a pensioner with possibly terminal cancer that specifically makes it hard for him to talk
