Keep up the good work. I am impressed

jlbing.bsky.social•8 days ago

I'm also concerned about his firing of the National Archivist. I know he's had a grudge since he was outed for not returning classified documents, but I'm concerned that a Trump loyalist will take over the archives and **poof** just like that -- where did all of our historic documents go?

dowhatknauw.bsky.social•8 days ago

Please, Trump IS the swamp.

phoenixwomanmn.bsky.social•8 days ago

Well, there's also Musk’s DoGE script kiddies putting spy satellite data on their easily hacked website:

Y’all know it’s a crime what he is doing ———and he hasn’t been arrested. Explain this to me like I’m 5

Because the supreme court ruled that he is immune to everything he does in office.

So, what's being done? We didn't elect you to tell us about problems, we elected you to fix them

cheekyginger.bsky.social•8 days ago

So the plan is for every elected Democrat to clone themselves. Through a Congressional loophole, this is allowed and will give us the majority we need in both the Senate and House.

It's a top secret plan, though. Don't let anyone know I told you.

reneepatrice.bsky.social•8 days ago

fractegrity.bsky.social•8 days ago

Office of Government Ethics? Inspectors General? National Archivist? Why would we need those? In addition to setting up mass pillage and plunder, the firing of these positions is to cover up the tracks.
Trump IS the swamp!

darcyck.bsky.social•8 days ago

Messaging is getting better, good to use profanity, but don't use words like ethics or say "ethics - in other words, making sure the president, congress and appointment officials dont break the law and steal or cheat to make themselves wealthier.

Sure wish we could deport Musk back to South Africa. They need him more than we do. We did not vote him in & Trump doesn’t seem to comprehend what he is doing. One does not run government by paying back favors he bought to sit in by a chair that is obviously too big for him.

Biden had a chance to really drain the swamp and fire every Trump employee. Instead he left them in place to help Trump win a second term.

Seriously, why is Louis DeJoy still Postmaster? Especially when so many votes were mail in?

Hi @Democrats.org

In Congress, Senate and in USA.

Contacting my Congress members and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social to do this as well (site below takes non-constituent messages. Like, officially) and also mention all the things that they’re doing, comments on this thread that I can relate to show why communication like this is badly needed.

💯 totally. As novel/fascinating as the theory is, 1 of my favorite challenges to the calculus that it's supposedly "probable," was a scientist I'd heard pointing out, "The highest Earth population of people is in Asia. Therefore, it's statistically probable that I'm most likely Asian." She was not.

He also believes in this, which is no simulation and which we can see happening right now:

likethecracker.bsky.social•8 days ago

For Schiff? Where??? His one listed phone number is for his DC office for which the voicemail is never cleared. The only other number I was able to find for him was his defunct local number from back when he was in the House.

lbarton99.bsky.social•7 days ago

I had to email.

I got them from a friend who had them in her phone from a few years ago. LA office is 310-224-3481

wtroppe.bsky.social•8 days ago

I think this number also works: (310) 914-7300

likethecracker.bsky.social•8 days ago

No answer after multiple rings, but at least it’s the first time I’ve been able to leave a vm for him.

likethecracker.bsky.social•8 days ago

…a few years ago. From when he was in the House. I feel like you didn’t read what I said, and I *know* you didn’t call the number yourself🙄

leekell.bsky.social•8 days ago

Sorry? I might have written the wrong number down, I’ve been calling every day. I never get a person, but usually voicemail has space.

leekell.bsky.social•8 days ago

It seems I can’t edit a comment? Anyway I mistyped, the correct LA number is 310-914-7300.

I have also been able to leave voicemails at the SF office 415-393-0707

marshacoupe.bsky.social•8 days ago

Thank you. I was told by the main switchboard operators that Schiff has not bothered to set up his phone lines.

I don't think that's the only reason. This is a Russian operation. It's orchestrated by Putin for the sake of Putin. If you look at everything they have been doing, it's either to make the US and its allies weaker or it's in support of doing same, such as eliminating ethics watchdogs.
