"The U.S. Postal Service is wildly popular with the American people and its service is essential and irreplaceable. Nobody voted for this. It is brazenly illegal, unconstitutional, and corrupt." - Rep. Don Beyer (D-VA08) bluevirginia.us/2025/02/frid...

This is how Mitch McConnell should be remembered: Without him, thereā€™s no President Trump right nowā€”he had the chance to convict during impeachment and end it, but he didnā€™t. Without him, thereā€™s no stacked conservative Supreme Courtā€”youā€™d have more rights today.

šŸšØNEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Jst like the scam he offered to workers-if you resign, you'll get severance until Sept. Then they got a termination for cause letter a week later so as to stop any potential unemployment claims and to defend an improper dismissal litigation. There will be no refund, there is no DOGE savings.

This is the most cowardly administration in history.

We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

You cannot fire so many people and shutter so many agencies and services and not expect things to start to go very bad very quickly. Our job is to highlight not only the chaos and cruelty of the firings, but also the devastating consequences. The public must turn on this madness and soon.

I approve this message šŸ‘šŸ½

NEW: Medications for HIV treatment and prevention were supposed to resume around the globe. But they haven't, multiple sources told me. Not only are there basically no employees left to carry out USAID projects -- the waiver itself was extremely limited. www.npr.org/sections/goa...

So basically, the Department of Health and Human Services is finished. If you want to stay safe from food recalls, viruses, and whatever else is comingā€”better start looking elsewhere for reliable information.

Republicans just admitted they are coming after YOUR social security with their Tax Scam.

"USAID workers and their families abroad had no agency help in fleeing after looters overran their homes in Kinshasa..." apnews.com/article/trum...

It is hard to imagine someone more disqualified to run our intelligence agencies than Tulsi Gabbard.

Thatā€™s nothing. I found 13 contracts awarded to SpaceX since December totaling $77M. 1/

The list has around 30 people. I remain confused how so few unqualified dipshits can take over multiple government agencies and offices without anyone just saying nah and closing the door in their face.

Really American A stunning new video of Donald Trump getting booed relentlessly at the Super Bowl just was released. Itā€™d be a shame if it went viral.šŸ˜ŽšŸ˜ŽšŸ˜Ž

Hey MAGA, anyone want to explain to me why getting rid of the agency that has prevented another 2008-style financial crisis is a good thing?

Two lawyers, one Yale educated, one Harvard educated; one the VP, one a senator, suggesting that decisions made by courts arenā€™t legitimate if they donā€™t like the outcome. This is dangerous territory.

Senate Dems have sent a letter to the acting Education Secretary ā€” launching a probe into Elon Musk's DOGE 'infiltrating' the Education Dept. "[F]amilies who rely on ED ā€¦ deserve answers about reports that an unelected billionaire and his team now have access" to their info. tinyurl.com/78xw3w93

Dems cannot vote for any government funding @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

So my taxes would go up more than $1500 so that billionaires can have a break? Ain't that America?

Sen Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) letter to chair of Senate Judiciary Cmte, which is poised to vote on confirmation of Kash Patel: ā€œWe regret that you have rejected our efforts to inquire into the first-ever invocation of Fifth Amendment protection by a nominee seeking to lead the FBIā€

another one?!?!?!

As a prosecutor, we investigated cases where bad actors left themselves a back door in govt systems. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse suggests Muskā€™s team could ā€œmanipulate data, steal data, and leave back doors. Your privacy gone.ā€ www.nytimes.com/2025/02/06/u...

NEW: During a status conference on suit over DOGEā€™s access to the Treasuryā€™s payment system, an attorney for the Justice Department claims that Elon Musk does not have access to the system. Two Musk alliesā€”Marko Elez and Tom Krauseā€”do have access, according to DOJ attorney Brad Humphreys.

Trump's war on health care has begun -- this is going to be the fight that defines the second term: Already, half of Virginiaā€™s community health centers have been cut off from federal grant money www.vpm.org/news/2025-02...

Hold the fuck on ā€” the Department of Government Efficiency, the entity which claims its mission is to end ā€œwasteful spendingā€, was given SEVEN MILLION TAXPAYER DOLLARS to cover its ā€œexpensesā€ in the span of a single week?!?! Are you fucking kidding me?!?

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Trump just called for a *permanent* displacement of Gazans from their homeland. If youā€™re on the left and you didnā€™t vote for Harris, I donā€™t wanna hear a DAMN thing about how someone needs to do something.
