Kim: You have a number of nominees who are literally, their mission is to dismantle the organization that they are being nominated to be in charge of. I find that to be so dangerous at this moment.

The folks that Trump has appointed to positions in his administration are simply his goons. They seek to do damage to the country and to exact retribution against Trump's perceived enemies.
This is exactly why we know this COUP was planned , well funded & being implemented by forces we the people can not stop .
Our election was FRAUDULENT.
At a fundamental level, the Republicans do not believe in the Federal government. They believe it should be limited to the Departments of Defense and State, and nothing else. Everything should be a State-level issue.. Except for their preferred culture war items.
Ever read the Constitution of the Confederate States of America? That's basically what they're wanting to do; convert to the United States to the Confederacy.. Just without the blatant slavery.
Essentially the above, the Federal government is the Defense Department (to defend the country), the State Department (for handling other countries), and everything else is handled at the state level. No Depts of Education, Transportation, HHS.. No EPA, SEC, Social Security, FCC, Fed Reserve..
Obviously that will break everything. The President with Congress could do those things but it will crash the whole country. Congress made these departments out of need. If you destroy the federal government there is no country. We won't have a need for Defense and State either.
They don't, they're just going to use Supreme Court rulings to invalidate the parts of the Constitution that prevent it.
Voting Rights Act being gutted by the Roberts/Alito Court is an excellent example. Claiming DEI/Affirmative Action violates the 14th Amendment by favoring blacks is another.
Do these people care about their reputations being humiliation and their self respect and everyday lives. They are in competition to see who’s the most loyal to their leader. He wouldn’t spit on them if they were on fire. Ask Michael Cohen Mo Brooks and Jeff Sessions. Trump, is loyal to no one.
I can only hope that the majority of the population will see the danger and make their opinions known, but more critically, vote their convictions in future elections.
Seems odd that the US is allowing itself to be overtly taken apart from the inside by people of dubious reputations based on the voting choices of blind and ignorant, but wlling, dupes.
I really just cannot get my head around it. For a country that is so insanely patriotic to cede their no1 position in the world to their enemies, by just rolling over and showing its belly within a few years is mind blowing.
MAGAts told us Trump has nothing to do with P2025 even though most the authors worked for Trump or still do, he was named in it 312 times or even already accomplished 30-40% of it.
They are the proudly uneductated Useful ldiots of America & are leading us to slaughter with their willful ignorance
77 Million people did not vote for him. Elon Musk manipulated the voting algorithm in swing states and handed the election to Trump and the Dems know this but would prefer to just lay down. “I have all the votes I need, you don’t need to vote”. He literally announced it. Ffs
We only just realized that the battle is fighting disinformation from previously trusted sources. We all need to become info warriors, and fight for the souls of our brethren.
That’s always been the plan, remember Betsy DeVos… Here we are again with a more aggressive plan to dismantle every US institution to consolidate power.
Thank God for true public servants. Would that they were all Andy Kim. Thank you, Senator. Your country needs you, though, in this moment, we may not deserve you. Leaders will emerge in troubled times and history will remember their names.
I don't think their goal is to destroy the stated agencies. It's to change the agencies into something they can use to go after "them" and/or enrich the power of the new Oligarchy.
They are "Destroy the State" MAGA-Leninists mirroring Putin's Stalinist (National Socialist) ideology: "redistribute wealth" from the masses to the few at the top.
That's what always happens under the "Dominionism" of Marxism, Leninism, Fascism, Church-State Theocracy, & Trickle-down Socialism.
"We the people" have guts. I don't see that in our Senate is reflective of "We the people". You give me some non-confirmable all are non-confirmable. A King could appoint his court, a President is elected, and so in the Senate. I won't forget, nor forgive Senate. You're there in confirmation for us.
Why is this news. They elected him to do just that. Why be incredulous? As if you just read something you didn’t know all of a sudden? This is not news.
Yep. That's the mission of the Trump team . . to destroy 248 years of democracy and turn it into an autocracy.
We can thank the stupidest people in the world for this . . the American public. Everyone else in the world saw what Trump is . . but our own people didn't.
They have been playing the long game. First,gerrymandering districts,#2 defund schools.Make public dumber #3 defund agencies so they won’t work. Then say,”see! It doesn’t work” This has been since Regan.
MAGAts aren’t a majority. A small percentage eked out a win. The country’s population is 335 million. The 75 million who voted for Trump don’t constitute a majority.
Sadly, the people that NEED to hear this are over on Fox News hearing about the military vets trying to get Hegseth confirmed and the evils of the “corrupt Biden family”.🙄
This has been the case all along:
DeJoy: direct competitor to US postal
DeVos: billionaire who only wants college for the rich
See also EPA & Bureau of land mgmt... etc

Also, not electedbut Elon Musk called himself “anti-government” and in response Sanders, Khanna, Fetterman and most of the GOP acting like his “DOGE” is akin to Al Gore’s National Partnership for Reinventing Government.
Fairly obvious. Destroy it and rebuild it in a design that benefits them. What are we doing about this? What can be done given the circumstances? One side plays by the laws on behalf of the people, the other just smashes and grabs.
You’re giving them too much credit: destroy it and take all the budget it used to get for themselves and for Trump, and everyone who needed the service that department used to do can go fuck themselves
They will use taxpayer dollars to "privatize" some services (like private prisons, schools) so they can maximize grift. So yeah, most people in need will be out of luck.
Exactly, & funnel much of govt $’s through investment schemes-like cryptocurrency-to help inflate value of their holdings in such “investments”, despite them being nothing more than pyramid schemes.
Taking the postal service & giving it to some crony (probably DeJoy), or cheap transfer sale, so it becomes truly privatized. No more govt postal service & all public loss of all the investment funneled into private, profit-making. The reverse of nationalizing.
With a fun side effect of fucking over everyone who lives on a rural route, everyone with an APO or FPO address, and everyone else whose mailing address isn’t cost effective for UPS and FedEx
Our taxes will not go down but instead will line their pockets while we lose essential services. Anything that serves the public will get shitcanned or sold to a MaGA billionaire. Looking forward to NOAA getting privatized and putting out BS anti-climate change data while the world burns.
Come Jan 21 there will be 800 people all dismantling their departments as fast as they can, to get Trump’s attention and praise. The media will tell us a month after it happens.
Read Project 2025. It clearly states the goal is to install only ass kissers; experience, qualifications, ethics, integrity, intelligence, understanding of the Constitution are irrelevant. Purpose is to destroy the Republic, install a racist, fascist evangelical KKKristian theocracy - erase the USA
Trumps election revolved around cutting waste and becoming more efficient or departments will die on the vine. The people nominated were picked for that reason this should not be a surprise to the senator Kim. He may disagree with this approach and work against it for his constituents but expected.
Dems are WAY too delicate for this fight. No one wants to hear “I find that to be so dangerous at this moment”. Go in with muscle, list specifics and real damage. There are so many. Not picking on Kim-they ALL have weak messaging. Where was 1 Dem calling out Mace? If reversed all GOP would blast her
Jeepers…what are Andy and Corey going to do…fundraise…and do PR stops…expect the NJ senators to join the NY, CA and IL senators in doing absolutely nothing of any value…
What sad is the people that are in the US government that favor him. It leaves you with a lot of questions. How long has the government been infiltrated? Do they serve with Russia in their hearts or America?
I am 💯 for fixing problems, but when those selected are more dangerous than the problem then that’s A PROBLEM! In this political climate many on the right & left have created ‘triggered’ people! We witnessed it with the UHC killing!This senate has the power to make or break this nation! Think wisely
well they've been saying that for years so its probably going to happen. their cult thinks it needs to be done. hopefully you all will not let them do it in the dark. speak up. loudly.
How does “electing a President” allow for DISMANTLING the Government, violating their oath of office to support and defend the Constitution, and ultimately harming the American people they were elected to serve and protect?
Seems like the WRONG PERSON was elected for this specific job…
I'm not despondent. I was actually agreeing with you: they don't need to shut down whole departments. They only need (and want) access to public monies. That's the whole point.
MAGA have no critical thinking skills to understand the govt...the sheep follow their owner until they need to know what we are talking about...Know who would think trump could dismantle a govt department with no oversite to what he is doing.. It still amazes me how these ppl get through life..
It's extremely dangerous because we are living in a world full of adversaries that is about to explode possibly into a Third World war to have someone like Trump and his appointees tearing down this country at this point in time extremely dangerous
It is very dangerous to even try to appoint such totally unqualified people to such important positions in our government.
tRump's goal is to cause chaos!
tRump is taking our Democracy and creating his autocracy.
This is what keeps me up at night. No one thought he would win the first time. They have had years to plan, organize, and get ready to implement their plans. Between that and the corrupt Supreme Court, it's going to be an uphill battle fighting it. We have to be ready.
We've had the opportunity to observe this mindframe since Reagan, though for me it started with GW. It was clear that the GOP was set on actually dismantling Government. They were about getting elected and causing Goverment to be ineffective; thus proving the whole concept to be a failure.
The goal is to dismantle everything that protects or helps the people and give it all to the rich. This takes a group of very sick minded freaks who are excited to kill is off and turn us into corporate slaves

And these people are literally trying to go after "lefty" leaders and named them.
They giving them a loaded gun.
They have be complicit. Nothing else makes sense.
Fucking mook should step down immediately so someone who actually knows how to fight can take his place.
They told us ahead of time what they planned to do.
77 million people voted for him anyway.
The worst is 85 mil didn't vote, so they say?
Everyone knows that
They are the proudly uneductated Useful ldiots of America & are leading us to slaughter with their willful ignorance
I'm glad he has remained truly for the good of people.
If there’s one thing I know The People do not like to experience pain and suffering.
Government is supposed to help US in the pursuit of happiness.
Resist Oppose Rebel Repeat!
That's what always happens under the "Dominionism" of Marxism, Leninism, Fascism, Church-State Theocracy, & Trickle-down Socialism.
Instead they will take away grandma's meds...just like Brian Thompson did.

Democracy my ass.
After Trump, if something still stands, they'll have to rethink everything, from the electoral college system up to the immunity system.
Trump’s deceit betrays all trust,
Freedom left to rust.
This is exactly what happened last time.
DeJoy: direct competitor to US postal
DeVos: billionaire who only wants college for the rich

They might be trying to slow down the dumpster fire.
Putin RT TV in Russia are celebrating

What all you despondent panickers fail to realize is, outright elimination is not required. They can restructure departments, weaken them.
But Little Stick NEEDS some of these departments to remain.
As for the Department of Education, for one. It has withstood numerous attempts by Republicans to eliminate it.
So this talk of “shutting down whole departments” is improbable.
Despondency is a form of obeying in advance.
