Watching powerless from Europe how democracy is crumbling in the US, reminds me of those movies where someone is mind-controlled by an alien or ghost. I want to yell: "America, we know you are still in there. If you can hear us, you must fight. YOU CAN DO IT. FIGHT THIS!"

JD Vance, whose wife is the daughter of Indian immigrants, advocated today for the rehiring of a DOGE engineer who was accused of posting “normalize Indian hate” on Twitter. What a pathetic, spineless coward!!

This is how the world views the US. Australia calling out fascism, then adding that "Trump is a disaster for humanity and he belongs behind bars, not the oval office."

We just sent a letter to Congress asking them to stop the Trump administration’s plan to potentially fire over 200,000 federal employees. Civil servants should be loyal to the Constitution and to the people, not to a political party.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

Operation ICE Ride-Along isn’t going as planned. 🔥 Fox News tagged along with ICE, hoping for an exclusive look at “dangerous criminals.” Instead, they got a whole lot of nothing. No threats, no big arrests—just a community that wasn’t having it. The narrative is falling apart.

Absolutely unbelievable. Just imagine if this had happened on Biden’s watch. The Republicans and the media would be in an uproar — and rightfully so. But it’s on Trump’s watch, so crickets. 🦗

To America’s 2.3 million federal employees: Don’t accept a buyout. Neither Musk nor even Trump has the legal authority to make such an offer. And even if they did, would you trust them to follow through on it? Sincerely, Robert Reich Former U.S.Secretary of Labor

We were denied access to meet with Treasury Secretary Bessent. They snuck him in the same way they're stealing our data: the back door. Speaker Johnson ADMITS that even he doesn't know what Elon Musk and his cronies are doing with your sensitive information.

OPM is planning to fire all employees on probation (less than one year of employment). Agencies have until noon on Wednesday to submit a list of probationary employees to the OPM and indicate whether they wish to retain them—though it has been stated that this will not make a difference.

At OPM, Musk’s staffers won’t leave—they work around the clock and have even installed sofa beds in the office. Our access to data systems has been restricted, raising serious concerns about cybersecurity and a complete lack of oversight. We are keeping our heads down and documenting everything.

Again: Trump just ordered 2 dams open to levels that would’ve flooded areas and farms, without warning, all to back up the lies he told about the fires — and the rivers don’t even flow to LA. Locals panicked and they backed off. sjvwater.org/decision-to-...

The president can veto or support legislation. He can make recommendations to Congress. But he doesn't have the unilateral right to change laws. Trump has very little respect for the rule of law & our Constitution. He is moving us toward authoritarianism. We must stop him.
