A reminder, from February 25th, 2022:

This is like opposing a joint resolution declaring that the Sun sets in the West America doesn’t just look like an idiot here, we look like goddamn Flat Earthers

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Putinization of America

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

You hate to see it 😂 www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Stephen King has returned to Twitter. 10/10. No notes. 🔥

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

"Key congressional Republicans have powers they’re choosing not to use... "Senator Susan Collins, for example, believes the White House and DOGE may be breaking the law. She doesn’t, however, seem eager to use her considerable influence..." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

To the @GOP senators and Congressmen who claim to support Ukraine, you do have some power… if you’re unwilling to exercise it then don’t pretend to care about your country more than your political career:

How much is Congress cutting from their $6.5 billion/year budget? Don’t you think congress can operate on say, maybe, $5 Billion? And each congressman has 18 staff, they could operate on say, 14? What about the White House?

Jamie Raskin: "Given that I was marching at age 3, you know I’m not letting any coup-plotting, election-denying, insurrection-supplying autocrat, kleptocracy, plutocrat or theocrat, or any techno-feudalist Silicon Valley broligarchs aspiring dictator, turn me around now.” Amen!!

If you haven’t figured out yet that Trump and his accomplices are traitors, you have brain damage.

“Some people”, “they” “there are”, “federal workers”….. if musky and his gang were serious they would have come up with real accurate statistics. Aren’t they geniuses?????

Could someone place an order for 100 more Jasmine Crocketts for overnight delivery to the Democratic Party thx in advance

Great to be back at UChicago Institute of Politics tonight. Tune in.

YIKES. “Throughout history, tyranny has been limited by human frailty. Dictators tire. … They must sleep. … “AI fundamentally changes this equation. … [W]e face the prospect of systems of control that never sleep, … and … can … identify patterns of resistance before they even fully form.”

Alright, listen up! Gary Stevenson, a legit self-made millionaire, economist, and author, used to rub elbows with the richest as a very successful trader. Yeah, his UK accent’s tricky, but his words are crucial. So, watch him, understand him, and spread the word. Trust us, it’s important! #wealthtax

It’s a conundrum. 🤷‍♂️
