DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA. Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps. Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems. See how this works?

“We are deeply alarmed by President Trump’s recent dismissals of several senior U.S. military leaders,” the letter opens. “We write to urge the U.S. Congress to hold Mr. Trump to account for these reckless actions and to exercise fully its Constitutional oversight responsibilities.” wapo.st/41i7ymr

Donald Trump said he wants to deport rapists and sex traffickers. Turns out he's now importing them.

"Five former defense secretaries on Thursday denounced President Donald Trump’s firing last week of the Joint Chiefs chairman and several other senior military officials, urging Congress to hold hearings and declaring they have concluded the officers were "fired for purely partisan reasons.'"

You only fire the lawyers if you plan to break the law. It's that simple. That's what Hegseth meant when said "roadblocks." www.military.com/daily-news/2...

Dear Jeff Bezos, 🖕 Signed, People who value a free press

This doesn’t exist and will literally save $0

ICYM REPUBLICANS NEW BUDGET DOES NOT INCLUDE NO TAX ON TIPS (TRUMP LIE DURING ELECTION) NO TAX ON OVERTIME (another lie) NO TAX ON SSI (another lie) Tell your MAGA NEIGHBORS (ty Brian Tyler Cohen)

If they truly believed they were saving America they'd be celebrating in the streets, not canceling town halls and hiding from their constituents.

Cutting $880 billion from Medicaid is going to have a lot of devastating consequences for a lot of people

💥 BREAKING: At John Deere's annual shareholders meeting today, shareholders overwhelmingly rejected an anti-DEI proposal brought by the same group that targeted Costco and Apple. An anti-DEI proposal from the NCPPR received less than 1 percent of votes. Deere shareholders: DEI is in. Bigots are out

Brave to @jeffstein.bsky.social, WaPo's chief economics correspondent, for not wasting any time in stating what must be stated. Hopefully the first of many.

I have decided to cancel my show at The Kennedy Center on May 11, 2025 and move it to The Anthem.

He really struggles with the concept of a constitutional republic with judicial review.

Just in case it wasn’t clear enough… MAGA = Nazis

📌If Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer were coaches for some sports team, they would have been fired by now… This has to be the meekest, non-response to a daily ass-kicking I have ever seen.

We need a unifying symbol of resistance- how about following the example of the Parks Dept and flying the flag upside down outside our homes?

If you feel this way, you're not along. And together, we're going to keep the Republic. Pass it on.

This is the Republican budget and they're going to own it. They're trying to cut Medicaid funding. They're trying to cut SNAP benefits. They're trying to take out all the programs that support working families across this country. That's REALITY. Why? To give billionaires tax cuts. #Medicaid

Ukraine resolution at the UN called Russia an aggressor and demands the full withdrawal of Russian forces from Ukraine’s internationally recognized borders. The United States, Israel, and Russia voted against it. Every free democratic country around the globe voted in favour. #EndImpunity

To the DOJ/FBI who remain, Your new bosses are going to order you to do unconstitutional things. Unlawful things. Things to achieve their fascist agenda. Claiming "you were only following orders" did not cut it at the Nuremberg trials. It will not work here either. Proceed accordingly. America

The RNC chair says it again -- the only function of the RNC is voter suppression and election subversion. It is time to take him literally and seriously. Sign-up to Democracy Docket to stay informed. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

TRUMP: We will be a merit based society.

I served the people, not the president as US Attorney. That's the oath. That's the job. That's why you don't put people who haven't worked at the Justice Department in charge of the Department, or people who haven't worked at the FBI in charge of the FBI.

The woman Trump made head of the Small Business Administration (SBA) is married to the chairman of the NY Stock Exchange (NYSE) The Oligarchy

The best way to confront a bully about the misinformation he is spreading is to confront him in front of everyone. Macron just did that.

💪🏼💪🏼 my guy

Republicans are pulling a reverse Robin Hood. The House could vote on its new budget resolution as soon as tomorrow. Call your rep to let them know how you feel about the GOP's plan to gut programs used by millions to fund tax cuts that will predominantly go to the richest Americans. (202) 224-3121

Dems/ past D administration need to form an underground parallel government.

Um. There have been quite a few wars in Europe since WWII. Donald Trump is a dunce.

“Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. Government failure, stock market crash, and dictatorial alliances are not popular.” — Timothy Snyder

We now have two of MAGA's neediest attention whores at the top of the FBI ladder Neither of them are qualified nor do they have FBI experience It's now MAGA Gestapo! Kash Patel Dan Bonigno

They learned something from their first term. The only thing that stops a bad guy with a grift is a good guy with principles. So this time they're firing all the good guys with principles.

His followers are like, “Surely there must be some mistake, he said only THEIR lives would be ruined. I’d better message the president and let him know.” We’re in the denial and bargaining stage folks.

After 1,000 National Park Service employees were abruptly fired on February 14, staff banded together to signal “dire distress” by draping an upside-down American flag from the 3,000-foot summit of Yosemite’s iconic El Capitan monolith.

I am deeply ashamed that the U.S. is not among these defenders of Ukraine but deeply grateful to the other nations of the world who have stood up to fill the void we have left.

The President of the United States has the emotional maturity of a teenage bully.
