Congratulations to DEI hire Amy Gleason, the new acting administrator of DOGE. A woman. And likely the first person to be shocked by the announcement of a role she didn't even know she had. Enjoy your leadership role!

So increasing the minimum wage to a livable wage is “socialism”? But Amazon union busting, keeping wages low, and forcing workers onto public assistance while its founder increases his net worth by $7.9M an hour is the "free market"? Perhaps this could be a WaPo opinion piece.

I sent an email to all the employees of someone else’s company today demanding the status of all their assignments. I couldn’t believe all the people that got so worked up about it.

For the US to side with Russia and North Korea to oppose a UN resolution condemning the illegal invasion of Ukraine defies all common sense and adds insult to the countless injuries suffered by the brave Ukrainian people. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/24/p...

Currently appearing at UK bus-stops. More of this pointed ridicule, please.

I hate this timeline.

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com: "Inspectors general are a headache for everyone. You know why? Because they're investigating every agency and they find stuff! Including waste and fraud and abuse! They wouldn't be firing them if they cared about waste, fraud, and abuse."

Why are we letting these people draw us to a world war? I don’t understand; I still love all of Europe and Mexico, Canada, Panama and Greenland. Why are we letting them destroy 200+ years of work?!

When did firing civil service employees become a better idea to balance our national debt, than taxing the rich?

This Fourth Estate--what is this Fourth Estate that you speak of? Other than a few indepedent media outlets here and there, I am amazed at the eunuch brigade we have in newsrooms. They are just allowing their power to be run over roughshod while their billionaire owners laugh and sneer at democracy.

Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He goes on to ask if we suffered childhood trauma and concludes by suggesting we are suffering from “generational trauma.” This is my response. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

We wanted them to have healthcare and a high paying job and a planet to live on and freedom. They want us to suffer. The parties are not the same.

These are Fort Campbell-based 101st Airborne Division soldiers escorting the Little Rock Nine in 1957. Fort Campbell is erasing *its own* history.

Exactly 😡

It’s a C O U P Keep reposting this

This is what oligarchy looks like.

Volodoymyr Zelenskyy has BALLS! God I admire the Ukrainian people! youtube.com/shorts/85Wdd...

Spoken like a true dictator.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

Gutting the CDC right as we’re on the cusp of major outbreaks of transmissible diseases is a very bad idea.

Never mind that Trump supporters are the dumbest motherfuckers on the planet, MAGA fascists have ZERO comprehension of what it takes to be this fucking brave, resolute, and courageous. Zelensky is as badass as it gets. 🙌🙏💪👏👇

If you’ve ever taken the oath to uphold the Constitution, this is the time to live up to it.
