I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

My grocery store sells through their egg allotment by 10 am every day and the cost of a dozen white large eggs has risen from $3.49 to $4.99. Where are all the people who said they voted for Trump over egg prices (not facism) and all the journalists who wrote those stories with a straight face?

Republican Senators who voted for RFK Jr. have the best healthcare in the world, paid for by you. They don’t care about what’s going to happen to your kids, your parents, or you.

An excellent deep dive intp the dats behind FIRE's "campus free speech" rankings. You won't be surprised to learn they are bullshit, riddled with errors and willful misrepresentions. This is not a serious organization and we would stop treating it as such. www.chronicle.com/article/the-...

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

"I think there's real risk of a generation or more of data being lost." - Dr. Michael Greicius, neurology professor at Stanford University, on the damage Trump's cuts to NIH research will do to progress on a treatment for Alzheimer's disease, adding as much as 20 years to the timeline.

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank. I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history. Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

Eric Adams is a self-serving buffoon who was given the opportunity to raise New York City out of its post-pandemic despair and instead chose to close libraries, line his own pockets, and posture like some summer stock Mussolini. He couldn't govern a mah jong tourney.

Van Hollen: "Can you imagine FDR in the middle of WW2 saying to Churchill, 'you know, we're not going to continue to help you until you turn over half of your coal and mineral reserves.' That's not how you behave when you want to support a friend who's under attack by an authoritarian like Putin."

I suspect this is bloviation by Trump & Co. on what the order actually does. Without having seen it yet I suspect it deals with administrative agencies and their ability to interpret what they think laws mean and is not (yet) a flat rejection of court power to interpret law.

Without going all Martin Niemöller here, I do think that it's bad not to speak up for immigrants, transgender Americans, civil servants, women, Ukraine, and everyone else the MAGA bullies are going after. We're beyond picking and choosing whom to defend. It's time to stand up and speak out.

🚨Elon Musk’s DOGE operatives are attempting to access confidential tax information — tax returns, bank data, Social Security numbers — for millions of Americans. Illegal access can lead to jail time under federal law. @wyden.senate.gov and I are investigating and fighting back.

The relevant precedent to DOGE isn’t Gore’s National Performance Review or the Truman Committee: it’s the War Production Board & “dollar/year men” the Truman Commitee investigated. Corrupt CEOs are literally why ethics laws for “Special Government Employees” exist today. Congress must enforce them.

As a political scientist who studies countries that managed to stop the slide into authoritarianism, I can assure you that refraining from provoking the authoritarian is not how it works. Without further ado, I will now go tear out another chunk of hair.

People you love will die as health care costs rise and your government pulls back. Ignorance will grow deeper and wider. Farms will fail and families with children will go hungry. Bridges will collapse. The rich will live well off the back of your labor. This is the Republican vision.
