And don’t forget, Ukraine had everything it needed to deter and defend against Russia. We PROMISED that we would defend them if they would just let us have their nuclear weapons. Apparently our promises mean nothing. Dems need to remind Americans that we made a deal. We need to live up to our word.

The implication has been, and we don’t know the final answer, that understaffing in the Reagan National control tower is in part responsible for the crash last month. Does it then make sense to turn right around and fire several hundred air traffic controllers?

Is it possible that Trump has some form of dementia? Not a joke. Calling Zelenski an unelected dictator is beyond delusional.

I feel like massive protests and phone calls to elected officials in my state (Maryland) does little. What is the best way to express to republicans my disgust and shame over their cowardice? Even protesting in DC does little as the cowards don’t appear. Only the Dems engage and they are already in.

I don’t understand. Why do government employees from whom Musk demands resignation comply? Now SSA Commissioner? Make him fire you. Resist. Be a hero. Don’t just lay down before the tyrant. These people make way for those who will salute.

This can’t be true, can it? It seems like he is picking the least appropriate nominee for each post. An IRS director who has no training or experience in accounting and didn’t finish college. HHS director who is not a doctor. A wrestling exec for education. It would be comical if it weren’t true.

I’m hearing story after story from city social workers in my town about single moms being arrested in their homes for deportation in font of their kids. These are hard working, tax paying, law abiding women. There is no effort to offer services to the citizen children left home alone.

Trump is certainly not the first president to immediately fire probationary employees as a first step in reduction in force. And firing lawyers hired as temps to prosecute 1/6 cases is certainly not a surprise. Let’s save the hair on fire reactions for things that are illegal or corrupt.

Fun fact: Decades of research has shown that mifepristone is as safe or safer than common medicines like Tylenol or Viagra 💊💊✨✨

@maddow.msnbc.com perhaps Trump is hiring all those who lost their 2022 and 2024 campaigns because the margins are too small to pull the winners of those races off the board to fill administration jobs.

The obvious reaction to Trump’s actions belongs to congress. The courts are trying but the constitutionally intended reaction to such a coup is obvious. Trump took AN OATH to protect and defend the constitution. He has violated that oath. Articles of impeachment are called for.

Drastically downsizing US AID may be an effort to privatize the delivery of aid in favor of his friends like Bezos and others. He wants to privatize education, health care, aid to the poor, perhaps even deportation and other basic services to enrich the wealthy at the expense of Americans.

Is there any action that can be taken to prevent the Musk rats from irretrievably changing and farming data from our government servers?

The amount of taxpayer money being thrown on a bonfire is astonishing. A top secret clearance takes months, many investigators, and as much as hundreds of thousands of dollars. Mine took nearly six months. This is a slash and burn offensive against our own government.

The protests in DC are even bigger tonight than last. Unfortunately, tragically, the next step is using armed troops to break up protests.

@maddow.msnbc.com we need an interview with a federal HR expert to talk about what they can do. Firing probational or temporary special employees is legal. Offering early retirement may be legal. Admin leave with pay is legal. Reassignment of SES to non SES positions is legal but they keep their pay

By the way, fentanyl and illegal immigration is largely possible because the US supplies huge caches of military style weapons to the cartels and criminals. Maybe we should do something about that.

Even federal employees with decades of service can be placed on leave, ordered to work from home, locked out of servers, or reassigned to other tasks. But they still get paid. No matter the threats, DO NOT RESIGN. You have rights right up until you leave voluntarily.

I am a retired federal employee. So here is what I know. If you were hired <1y ago, you can be fired for no reason. If you were hired <3 y ago they can fire you for very little. Career civil servants not on probation cannot be fired without cause, attempt to rehabilitate, and lengthy due process.

If you work for the federal government, DO NOT RESIGN. Make them fire you or America has no recourse and neither do you.

Today we really need dozens of members of Congress to physically enter buildings that have been commandeered by DOGE interns and refuse to leave until things are fixed, whatever that might mean. I can't think of another option.
