Again I am begging people in the media to note the legality of these actions in their headlines or blurbs. A post office is literally written into the constitution.

you know, i am starting to think he didn't actually conduct a review process before arriving at his decision

this is what serving your country really means and it should be something we admire and these assholes are turning it into a dirty phrase and throwing away these people like they’re nothing so many dedicated public servants, gone for no reason

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

So yeah, even after a bunch of accidents that highlighted FAA staffing shortages they still went ahead and fired FAA staff. They don't know what they are doing.

People who write about "this is the wrong fight to pick," never ever actually fight for anything. Feel free to ignore them.

I maxed out my credit card, emptied my savings account, and took out a loan to move from Alabama to Bethesda, MD. I don’t even qualify for unemployment since I’ve only worked at NIH for a month. I will be financially and medically devastated. Seeking suggestions for anywhere that’s hiring!!

lmao

I’m not even Canadian and this stuff is turning me into a Canadian nationalist.

Ok, this one is bad.

my view is that as soon as the administration froze disbursement of congressional appropriations we entered constitutional crisis territory

they are stating their view, plainly and repeatedly, that the president is a king.

this attitude — paperwork is for sissies, real wars are won by Big Strong Men — is traditionally a harbinger of ruinous for defeat for everyone who holds it

This might be the most nakedly corrupt document I’ve seen on DOJ letterhead — and I wrote a history of Watergate!

That “HE GETS US” ad is funded by an extreme right wing org. Using Johnny Cash’s cover of Depeche Mode’s “Personal Jesus” - a scathing critique of right-wing televangelists preying on the unwary - is a spectacular self-own.

Subway could bring back Jared and this would still be the worst of the night

Laws. The word you're looking for here is "laws."

I am empowered to start dating again because in now have the confidence I will never face rejection as humiliating as this

Hey man sorry to hear about all your political turmoil. Would it help if I scrolled around on the computer all day and drove myself insane?

Mormon ISIS is one of the better case scenarios right now

I know he wants us exhausted, but dammit, I'm exhausted.

NEW: The board president of a small WV nonprofit says they haven't received their HHS funding since the Trump/Musk budget freeze. They had to lay off 3 of 5 employees on Friday. An 86-yr-old woman is counting on them to take her dialysis tomorrow. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Hi all, We’re still here at OPM. We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building. Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.

I would say 911 dispatchers provide a valuable service but it would be ok to criticize them if you called them and instead of sending an ambulance they said "Someone should do something about this!" and hung up

SO COOL that Vox Media had two rounds of layoffs in the past three months and keeps cutting our budgets and yet somehow there's $20 million for one person

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.
