Democrats must get louder to respond forcefully to the administration blitz. Let's form a Democratic People's Cabinet, our best fighters hitting back, and showing an alternative. Please >repost< and sign petition! Over 5K signers

The American people need to show up themselves. Yes, we need to continue the pressure on our folks in Congress, but signing a petition to pick a few targets for the firing squad is not going to get what we need done.

sengelweb.bsky.social•24 days ago

We can do both!

jazzisblue.bsky.social•24 days ago

Yes. But it we did that as others do, we would need people that mirror the current cabinets expertise and can speak credibly to the opposition's performance in their roles. Other than Pete, not sure who that would be based on your collage. At least Crockett is an attorney.

We have a deep bench! AOC for labor. And interior!

Yes! We do!!! And the other side is IDIOTS!!!!!!!

The federal government has paid SpaceX some $20 billion since 2008... Hmmm... shouldn't we start the savings here?

sengelweb.bsky.social•23 days ago

Agree!

Just seize Musk and put him in prison. Nobody's going to lift a finger to get him out. Nobody likes him that much.

They are gonna do it anyway. And when they defy the courts, what is anybody gonna do? That’s the issue. Who is responsible for enforcing these court orders?

maikenwaves.bsky.social•23 days ago

How will this be enforced?

sabrina-arl.bsky.social•24 days ago

Good. Don’t cede an inch without a fight.

More importantly, it sets a legal precedent against Trump attempting to replace the entire government workforce with loyalists and/or just terminate programs unilaterally.

fernstacy.bsky.social•24 days ago

Thank you for your great work

There are multiple groups investing the election results finding disturbing trends. This was an effort years in the making. And per the ETA Trump likely tried in 2020 but failed by not trying harder and that's why he was so sure there was 'fraud'.

I would still live in East Germany if we wouldn’t have protested and gone in the streets ever to demonstrate . Even now Germans go everyday in the streets to protest the coalition between parties that is trying to get a right wing party AFD into our government . Why are Americans waiting ?

Thank you

However, USAID's implementing partners (providing the services and goods), in the service sector still had to furlough almost all of their employees since they don't get paid, resulting in millions of individuals not receiving life saving aid and in what would otherwise be preventable deaths.

disillusioned65.bsky.social•24 days ago

Keep that accountability coming.

ascotrose.bsky.social•24 days ago

Good job

lynn0908.bsky.social•24 days ago

Someone explain the 2200 to me. Doesn’t this agency employ 10k?

makakilo.bsky.social•24 days ago

I am guessing the 2200 are the ones
before the court. I think many others are indirect employees and I don’t know the immediate effects there

keithstarling.bsky.social•24 days ago

From the post I’m assuming the 2200 are members of the listed unions.

lynn0908.bsky.social•24 days ago

Ahh gotcha. Thanks!

ergodr.bsky.social•23 days ago

Trump ran his worst campaign ever in 2024. Why didn't D's challenge swing state results in the courts? R's have a 100 year history and LONG list of voter suppression tactics. Did they vanish or were they way more focused this time? D's don't challenge elections now? https://youtu.be/8NfY2I75fdI?si=nv2IwkZW4Dgrsbap

johndc.bsky.social•24 days ago

What about the USAID staff in DC that support the Foreign Service Officers abroad? Their status is not address here.

lynn0908.bsky.social•24 days ago

Is this 2200 the ones that are overseas? I’m not seeing this anywhere
