Call it the Musk-Trump Veteran Firing Program. Nearly a third of the federal workers are veterans, and the figure is much higher at DoD. Musk and Trump are going to fire tens of thousands of American veterans, on top of the thousands they already fired. “Thank you for your service, you’re fired.”

Day #33. Equality Matters #prpudblue The US continues to bully Ukraine. Just what Russia wants. Many of US support you Zelensky. Do not bend to current self-proclaimed "king". The US does not elect kings.

To be clear, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General CQ Brown was fired for being black because the orange felon is a lifelong racist and Coast Guard Commandant Admiral Linda Fagan was fired for being a woman because the orange felon hates/abuses women.

We don’t have massive federal debt because of Social Security & Medicare. We have massive federal debt because the rich don't pay their fair share of taxes. Now R's want to make major cuts to SS to give rich people more tax breaks. #ProudBlue #HandsOffMyMedicaid #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

From the get go of the second Trump administration, it was clear that the president would try to pass a bunch of executive orders without any clear indication that he, or his trusted advisors, actually knew if it was legal. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/wha...

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

Republican Reps. getting harsh receptions in town halls could get them to follow the Constitution, asserting Congress’s power of the purse against the White House’s illegal firings and cuts, but will probably get Republicans to stop doing town halls.

For the first weeks, Americans seemed frozen, expecting institutions to do something. Americans were used to “checks and balances” and “guardrails” working. That didn’t happen. People realized that they had to take matters into their own hands… open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...
