It's also chilling to realize that what we are watching has been in the works for decades. Truly diabolical.

Spot the hawk! (The good kind, not the warmonger kind.)

The audacity. Please go away.

I am so embarrassed, mortified, and angered at how Trump and Vance treated Zelensky today. Utterly shameful. This man is trying to save his people and country from annhilation by Russia and all they can do is whine that he hasn't said thank you enough? Wtf.

I am begging the media to stop referring to the employees who recently resigned in protest from the United States Digital Service as "DOGE staffers."

There is one EO that FOTUS could issue that everyone could get behind: Ending the time change. I don't care whether we keep ST or DST, I just want the changes to stop.

Shame on the US, shame on Pamana, shame on everyone who thinks it is ok to treat other humans this way. Reprehensible.

I have called Senator Rick Scott's office so many times have never had anyone answer the phone. Direct to voicemail is how he responds to his constituents.

the family of Sam Nordquist, whose violent murder was publicized Friday (with little other details of his life), is $5k away from their goal to cover expenses related to bringing him home from out of state and a funeral. (ty for link @berlantbro-more.bsky.social)

👍Putin likes this

👍H5N1 loves this. We are in so much danger.

Reprehensible

A way to keep up with the litigation against the regime.

I’m usually pretty good about sticking to a healthy diet unless I’m really sad or celebrating or bored or eating out or ordering in or if it’s the weekend or Monday or if there’s something stressful going on

My effort to learn my GOP Rep's views on Musk et al gaining access to all US taxpayers' data failed again today. I went to his local office to learn they "don't deal with legislative issues." The polite staffer gave me a form to fill out but like all other staffers doesn't know Diaz-Balart's stance.

FEMA is on the chopping block today. Victims of natural disasters will be on their own. Anyone want to predict who is next? My guess is OSHA.

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.

The constituency for the destruction Trump creates are the ppl responsible for putting him in the WH: 1. Putin: trying to take down the US for decades, in revenge for what he sees as our destruction of the USSR. 2. Disaster capitalists: crisis means broligarchs, KSA & UAE can buy US assets cheap.

This is 🍌🍌🍌

Oh to live somewhere where the biggest controversy is a mystery bowl of wasted bananas

No agency is safe from Elon Musk and his goons. This is unbelievable.

I call dibs on "Fentanyl Czar" as my Halloween costume this year.

Today I called Rep Diaz-Balart about Musk's access to taxpayers' private information and again the person on the other end of the phone doesn't know his stance because the Congressman hadn't spoken about it. I asked her if he was ok with this and she said "she didn't want to get ahead of him."
