President Trump is firing American workers who monitor bird flu outbreaks, safeguard nuclear facilities, and now those who promote American history in Dorchester – all to help pay for tax breaks for billionaires and giant corporations.

Yeah, it's the complete dismantling of our democracy. And you're still playing by an obsolete book. We're screwed so long as our "leaders" keep doing business as usual.
So. It doesn’t take a genius to realize what these goons are doing with the grace of the GOP. What in the hell is the Democratic Party doing about this. Let’s hear some screaming and hellfire
At this point Senator, I think we all get it now. Trump, elon, the billionaires, and all the republicans who are going along with it, want to destroy the country and kill all of us, including their own families because trump told them to. None of them can ever be trusted again. EVER.
The forces of darkness are massing. We all feel it. Everywhere, evil is filling the void left by apathy. Lies are smothering truth. Shameless men manipulate the stupid. Greed prevails over honor & duty. The weak bow down but you must not! To stop Trump we must show our determination & his weakness.
What about the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, the George H. W. Bush Presidential Library in College Station, and the George W. Bush Presidential Library in Dallas?
Such a coincidence about two federally funded Kennedy institutions within a month.
Reporting these is great but what we really need from you is "What are you going to do about it"? Please work with AOC and Bernie to come up with an action plan to show us. We need you. Do an official democratic daily briefing and have the media report it everyday. Create a coalition. Anything.
Well, he's an exceptionally stupid individual, and his administration and the GOP are spineless yesmen who would happily sell out our country for a pat on the head from putin and 30 pieces of silver.
The tax breaks are the smoke; the fire is authoritarian control. This isn’t just about money—it’s about consolidating power by dismantling institutions that safeguard public health, history, and democracy. We need leaders who see the full picture. Call it what it is: an authoritarian takeover.
They dragged a burning bush
towards the dry forest.
This they did wilfully.
Joyfully even.
They will soon discover
a bladderfull of piss
is not enough to avert
disaster.
Trump’s shutdown of the JFK Library won’t lower egg prices or make housing more affordable, but it’s part of a retribution tour designed to distract from his agenda to enrich the wealthy and well-connected at the expense of everyone else.
Senator, with all due respect, the cost of eggs are going to be the least of our worries when Trump decides that he is a God king and elections are no longer necessary.
I sure hope the Dem caucus plans on shutting down the government at the next debt ceiling vote unless this madness stops. If you’re not prepared to fight that hard then you’re not serious about fighting the fascist putsch.
I'm not sure how much you CAN do except call them out and speak up. And I'm grateful you continue to use your voice in a time it is becoming increasingly dangerous. We know this administration has no bottom, & will threaten what you love in order to control or silence dissent.
Its time to think big: we need a huge walk out by all Federal employees. Obv they keep back tracking so call their bluff. Stop all air traffic, processing soc sec, IRS refunds, national parks, etc. Show MAGA what small govt actually means until reasonable order restored. They can’t fire everyone
Well... I guess closing it is better than him trying to commandeer it & appoint himself as "Chair" Kennedy Center style or... Worse... Try to rename it!!
I'm still curious to know why hasn't Caroline spoken out about his flagrant, malicious attacks on her dad...?? 🤔 I would!!

Donald Trump is a RAPIST. He rapes everything he touches. He raped his father's legacy, his kids' childhood, contractors' payments, raped his 1st wife, raped shareholders, over 20 women, raped Ukraine, raped Christianity, the constitution & now our government. He won't stop until he's horizontal.
I figured it was revenge against Caroline for speaking out against his dud of a nomination. We know he hates strong women. We know he hates women of character.
Fucking felon traitor! He will never be liked or loved in America. The majority of this country wants him gone and despise him! We hate you felon ignoramous fat man
When do we talk about all of that being a distraction from Musk, a private citizen, forcing all of the US government's citizen data into Peter Thiele's, a private citizen, Palantir AI system.
Pretty clear they're already leveraging Palantir's insights to extort politicians into kneeling.
Can you please ask the new dnc chair to put Aoc, Jasmine and Jamie in charge? Why didn’t the fec chair investigate the 31 cases against dt? We need y’all to report on project 25 every day and highlight the vigilante inc documentary. How’s this legal?
stop thinking and saying this is about money or tax cuts. it’s most certainly is not. this is about breaking the govt. utterly destroying it so they can replace it with a techno-dictatorship. they believe democracy is in the way of what they want to create.
It's time for Democratic leaders to stop the hand wringing and telling us what Trump and Musk are doing. Tell us what YOU'RE doing. Propose bills, file more suits, and charge them with attempting a damn coup. Stop giving fascism free press, suit up, and get in the damn game. The rest of us have.
This is to get R/non-voter folks alerted to the bigger issue in play here - the illegal dismantling of our federal agencies and siphoning off $$ for the wealthy donors or the ones who know where the bodies are buried. She needs to convince them to get in the resistance --> strength in numbers.
We know all of those, it is clear you guys are unable to stop it as well. I think maybe it is time stopping sharing observations and thinking outside of the box what can be done about it
It isn't to pay for tax breaks. They are destroying the country to benefit it's adversaries, and to weaken and eventually overthrow democracies around the world.
Democrats can stop Musk’s government contracts—is that correct? He gets $8 million a day from taxpayers and is taking another $7 million a week for the Department of Government Extinction that he runs. Can Elon Musk be stopped that way?
How about addressing the active coup that is taking place. He just signed an executive order pretty much allowing himself to be a dictator and you are talking about this. Every Democrat should be out there talking about this executive order.
In earnest- what can she do? The GOP has control of the house. The only thing I can think is that voters in Swing Districts have to pressure their Republican legislators.
Airways, share lists of businesses/people supporting his policy, organize protests and boycotts, find people who can share more details with ppl who voted for him….
There's something you can do about it: contribute what you can to the endeavors to flip FL Congressional Districts 1 (Dem candidate Gay Valimont) and 6 (Josh Weil) in April 2025 and tie up the House.
No. No. No. No. With all due respect, FUCK THE HELL OFF WITH THE EGG AND GROCERIES BULLSHIT. There is a coup going on destroying our personal and national security and this is all a part of it! Tell the DNC PR team to fucking shove the eggs up their useless asses and ADDRESS THE FUCKING COUP.
YEAH THERE'S A COUP AND IT'S RATHER A BIG DEAL
PERHAPS NOT PRETENDING THAT THERE'S JUST TAX
BREAKS ON THE HORIZON AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS
AS LEGAL AS EVER ISN'T THE STRATEGY WE WANT
OR NEED AT THIS PARTICULAR PIVOTAL MOMENT
IN HISTORY.
Well then you all who were elected need to bloody do something. We're helpless. My family is danger!!! IN DANGER! THEY ARE GOING TO KILL US. JESUS CHRIST. HELP US!!!
Senator, 45 is not firing all these people to just pay for tax breaks for the rich. He does these things because he is cruel and uncaring. Also he wants to destroy everything ever accomplished by liberals. Dems need to fight back & fight hard.
Can you please explain why no one is doing anything!!?? He literally made an EO last night that will make him a dictator!!! Why do we have to call in and tell you all that we don't want this?! Why is no one doing anything to remove them?! They're going against the Constitution for God's sake!
Senator, big fan, but who gives a **** about American history in Dorchester when we're about to die from an epidemic or a nuclear accident or a plane falling out of the sky?
When you mix things like this, it just doesn't convey the seriousness well enough.
We are all glued to the news- I’m not seeing any reports about what the democrats are doing to effectively stop this. We are counting on you and you are failing us.
I had my citizenship ceremony at the JFK Library back in 2019. I became a citizen in time to vote for Biden and to ramp up my support of you as my Senator. I love your politics very much. But you aren’t DOING anything about the Orange Menace. Thoughts and prayers will not cut it. Do something please
So you’re in a minority. That doesn’t mean you can’t singularly be a giant PITA to their hateful agenda. They did it to Democrats for years and years. Use their own playbook agains them.
Trump's and his accomplices mission is to Destroy and Loot the country. That's why it's crucial for all non1%ers to coalesce and build a veto-proof Democratic majority in 2026 to stop Trump's country demolition before it's too late.
Can we stop saying they are destroying the government to give tax cuts to the wealthy! They are going to do that regardless! Let’s tell the truth that they are destroying the government departments to sell them to the highest bidder and privatize everything- healthcare, education, social security!
Their COMPLETE callousness when dealing with peoples lives should be the thing that disqualifies them from holding office. By them I mean the president and Donald Trump too.
STOP HIM. Every single Democratic Congress member must loudly call for Trump/Musk's impeachment & removal. NOW. This is NOT a presidential administration; it's a hostile government takeover by a foreign adversary. Trump's policies are indistinguishable from a plan to destroy America & kill people.
Look I know you are in the minority now but after everything I've read to make my head explode tonight the Senate Dems and Repubs are going to be equally to blame for the demise of this country. All of jdt's cabinet picks are getting thru. They lie to your face & get in anyway. Why advise when
Why are you sharing news stories when you should be sharing action steps? This is a COUP, Senator. I know you’re trying, but it’s not enough, and it’s not working.
The problem is that he’s firing scientists across a broad, nonspecific range of disciplines, for no legal reason.
He cannot fire them, Congress should stop it.
He can’t take care of his own workforce, provide them stability, healthcare, income.
Just stop it damn it with the tax cuts. It’s not about tax cuts.
They are literally creating a dictatorship and Musk is in it for more sinister reasons.
This is so far beyond tax cuts: tech bros want their own digital countries separate from the US.
We need leadership to organize strikes and boycotts! We don’t have much power and we need to use what we have. It needs to come from the top!!!!!!! HELLO????
FFS! Stop talking and start doing! What are you doing to rally the American people to delay, deny, degrade and ultimately destroy the orange turd's evil agenda?
I feel his intent is even more nefarious. He's breaking up the fundamental things that hold up our society: schools, public heath, financial system, healthy media. I am loathe to go conspiracy theorist but this really only benefits Putin. There is no other explanation. R senators should wake up
You, along with every other Dem Senator & Rep keep pointing fingers at Republicans as they set American democracy on fire. Do you really think we don’t see what’s happening? DO SOMETHING!! FFS!
I’m sorry, Senator, but I think you’re missing the real motive: destroying academia and institutions in order to create chaos and take permanent control. Don’t let that happen!
I can’t seem to get anybody outside of Massachusetts to care. People think planes and birds and nukes are important. They don’t understand the importance of history.
Do Democratic senators and representatives have a plan to end this madness, or are we supposed to wait 4 years to try to rebuild institutions that took generations to create? At the rate we're going, there won't even be elections in 4 years.
WE the people, through our Representatives, voted for our tax money to be spent according to the budget approved by Congress, not according to the whim of random individual Musk. Our money is being embezzled. Stop this now.
you and your colleagues have abandoned us, while the ongoing coup destroys our institutions, our scientific preeminence and our national security. DO SOMETHING
With all due respect, I understand I know the Democrats have limited power right now but I need to see more than just problems. I need to see problem solving. Or help us figure out what we can do as civilians.
Our entire government is run by incompetent, mean spirited fools. For the most part its just a scam to loot the treasury but sooner or later (probably sooner) something bad is going to happen and we are going to be in a world of trouble because they don't have a clue but they think they do.
@warren.senate.gov Hey Elizabeth: use the power we vested you with & *obstruct the fucking fascist coup*! Use procedural tricks, refuse to be turned away by private security from *federal buildings*, organize protests, get arrested! STOP all the posturing & fucking do your job- protect our Republic‼️
By not saying what he is doing is unconstitutional you are tacitly agreeing with him that he is allowed to take all these actions. Therefore, the media also doesn't need to discuss Trump's unconstitutional actions. You are making a huge mistake.
The bigger problem is the attack on the constitution. You need to make this a bigger issue. He is tearing up the constitution Democrats stay silent. Talk about this stuff too but you need to actually need to say out loud that his actions are unconstitutional. Get your head out of the sand.
They are against everything good and educational. It blows my mind that mass unemployment is a policy that anyone thinks is good. Trump did say he would raise costs and unemployment on the campaign trail. How did anyone vote for him?
This is way beyond tax breaks. This is the privatization of the US government. We’re on our way to be the United States of X if we don’t stop it right now. And by we I mean you.
Ok, so why are we just letting
robber baron scumbags do whatever the fuck they want with our tax dollars? If they don’t obey the law why should we have to? Fuck them.
You’re telling us what we already know. YOU are in the room. WE are not. We are relying on YOU and other elected officials to do something about it. All of this is unconstitutional so why are they still walking around able to create more havoc? You control the purse so why aren’t you stopping it?
Any fool who has worked for a corporation in the last 30 years knows what "cutting costs for efficiency" means. Blood from a stone, ruin the product and profits go to the top when the factory closes.
Please band together with senators to stop this sociopathic narcissist. Each hour inflicts more cruelty to the entire human race. Please, so many Americans did not vote for this and are begging elected officials to act on our behalf
Billionaires have ALWAYS been the problem. This issue is not new. We need to stop being fooled by all their smoke and mirrors to realize the real issue going on--- they are literally stealing our livelihood out from under us. No more of them in any government position whatsoever!
It's time to take the gloves off and get your hands dirty, tie them up for the next 10 year's if you have to, the people are willing to sacrifice and adjust to whatever major moves and blocks you can make stick but we need you guys to fight back!
Welcome to Redundant News
Subbing in for the impotent Chuck Schumer we have a special guest Senator Elizabeth Warren.
We dont know why she is on the RN tonight because typically she does not fall into the Redundant News category of dipshit posts on stuff we already know.
yeah, that's like, the least of reasons he's doing it though? He's aiming to be a dictator, and half the Dems in Congress are harping about egg prices as if there's going to be another fair election
@warren.senate.gov What are you doing to protect our federal workers and uphold the constitution? We are experiencing no enforcement to protect our civilians against domestic enemies
I’m not supporting the cuts or criticizing the library, but are all the President’s libraries federally funded? I always presumed they were not for profits that were funded by endowments and possibly admissions charges
Dammit mom. I’m running out of cards on my Bingo 2025. I’m already on 2026 and running out of space. Pandemic is a square for 27. Don’t make me black this card out too.
Senator Warren, we need ACTION. He has now claimed the power of a king not a president! Can some one please do something????? We can’t take much more!!!

That leaking bag of 🍊 💩 in the four years he was the former P, there was no mention of a presidential library.
Like, there’s zero concern for any kind of legacy. Either a.)
He never intends to give up power, or b.) he knows there’s nothing of substance.
Thoughts?

The President and the Attorney General (subject to the President’s supervision and control) will interpret the law for the executive branch, instead of having separate agencies adopt conflicting interpretations.

It was NEVER about this!
Show up in federal court as a concerted effort of two branches of government relentlessly fighting fascism or pass the fucking torch!
I love you and have defended you for decades but we need combat now @warren.senate.gov

Get your act together and shut them down NOW!
I voted for you. I've watched you speak on NPR & local news for years. Talk is cheap. Do something, anything for f* sake.
shouldn't you be busy taking angry photos in front of closed federal building doors

And says only he and his DOJ can internet laws?
Can we please arrest him yet?
Trump just declared via EO that only he and the U.S. Attorney General determine laws.
