Make no mistake, Trump not only wants no alliance with Ukraine but is now actively working to undermine its government and therefore its war effort. He is in league with Vladimir Putin in every way that matters.

“Those nasty Canadians are ripping us off and are controlled by Mexican cartels. They’re poisoning us with fentanyl and need to become the 51st state or they will pay a high price” is a belief that literally ZERO Americans had six weeks ago. It’s entirely invented from scratch.

Yes it’s one of the main reasons for the DOGE blitzkrieg, but basic questions are not being asked when pushing back on all these fraud, waste and abuse claims by the WH. One thing I’m not seeing talked about enough is the speed at which the fraud is being supposedly discovered at all these agencies.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

If the NTSB communicates exclusively on X, and the owner of X is raiding government offices including payment systems @ Treasury, how long before opposition speech online is punished by withholding payments, i.e., Social Security checks?

the fascists are looking to rigidly define gender not just to punish trans people like they claim but to lay the groundwork for the oppression of all women. when gender is legally mutable, it is harder to use it to restrict people’s rights. they want to build a cage around you, made from our bones

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare. Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.” We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

Kaine: "He let Musk force the resignation of the FAA administrator. He disbanded an aviation safety committee... he's got an OMB director who's pushing a hiring freeze & saying 'I want to traumatize the federal workforce'"... he's got an anti-safety agenda..that's why he went the race-baiting route"
