There are many posts and messages urging us to not despair, to resist, etc. There is a difference in grief and despair. Urgently pressing on without acknowledging our grief only postpones the letdown. I need a moment for grief. I do not despair, but I grieve.

Who in their right mind thinks it’s okay for a citizen to be able to end government contracts for departments he chooses while awarding himself all the government contracts he wishes. WTF MAGA? Destroying America so a psychopath can colonize Mars is okay with the GOP?🤬 #ProudBlue

This morning, I sent a letter to the Office of Government Ethics (OGE) regarding Elon Musk’s potential conflicts of interest. Within minutes, the White House confirmed receipt. By noon, President Trump fired the Director of OGE. I want to know: Was this to prevent his answer?

Hold the fuck on — the Department of Government Efficiency, the entity which claims its mission is to end “wasteful spending”, was given SEVEN MILLION TAXPAYER DOLLARS to cover its “expenses” in the span of a single week?!?! Are you fucking kidding me?!?

He signs United States out of human rights organizations and gets El Salvador to agree to take American citizens. He’s planning to send political prisoners there. American citizens. Who all has he said he’d put in prison? He’s planning human rights violations.

ISO a half-dozen Republicans in Congress willing to honor their Constitutional oaths and probably sacrifice their political careers. Caucus with Democrats on matters of democracy and do what is needed to impeach and convict Trump and Vance. Reply to @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social if interested.

Let’s be clear, Trump’s tariffs will be paid by Americans. Like a tax. They will raise prices across the board. On food. On gas. On families. On small businesses. An average American can expect to pay an annual tax of around $2600. So much for his promise of lower prices.

Warren: "He can stand there, smile at you and say, 'anybody can vaccinate their kids who wants to,' but he literally could bankrupt the vaccines manufacturers with the power he will have. And since he's got a financial incentive to do that, we cannot trust him in that job."

Congress approved these investments and they are not optional, they are the law. These grants help communities in red states and blue states and support families, help parents raise kids, and lead to stronger communities. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

I am begging the national media to start taking this seriously. Stop buying the claims that the framing of "temporary" or "pause." They are altering the review processes of federally funded scientific research from merit-based peer review processes to political screening by ideologues.

by freezing all federal grants, trump is fundamentally transforming the relationship between the executive and congress. he is asserting dictatorial authority over federal spending, transforming congress's lawmaking powers into advisory authority. it is a constitutional crisis
