If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

This is what our Transportation Secretary was doing yesterday as planes are crashing on a near-daily basis. I cannot remember a more dangerous time to fly and yet this reality TV actor-turned-Cabinet Secretary is busy watching cars drive laps at the Daytona 500.

“Despite the demands of Trump, Leavitt, and Big Brother, the AP is not changing their style to suit the whims of a would-be tinpot dictator. And by defying Trump, the AP has created a rallying point for other organizations and individuals to find their spines and defy him as well.”

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.

Get hold of your attorney and get hold of these folks.

We need to start every discussion about Trump by saying, “Old, delusional, incontinent man says…”

Mood.

You're not overwhelmed. You're under attack.

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.

This was nothing less than a bloodless coup. Totally illegal. Democratic senators and congressmen need to get in front of a microphone today and every day to denounce this atrocity. Look away now and risk American democracy. We are on the precipice.

I’m trying my best to not be in the US on Jan 20th. At this point in time, I am embarrassed to be an American.

Yes it is. POS.

There is no government department called DOGE. It’s a made up, non-existent entity. A serious journalist would point this out clearly in the first sentence of the story. Shameful.

DOGE is not aiming to eliminate a wasteful, lawless, and antidemocratic bureaucracy in Washington—it is hoping to become one. newrepublic.com/article/1887...

Yikes. A racist, drunken, sexual predator. "A different former employee described Hegseth being at a bar in the early-morning hours of May 29, 2015, while on an official tour through Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, drunkenly chanting “Kill All Muslims! Kill All Muslims!” www.newyorker.com/news/news-de...

There it is

Sorry, but for thousands of years religion has been the cause of problems not the solution. Education is the answer. You want more talk? Let’s do it in schools, national parks, museums, book clubs… We need more critical thinking and less magical thinking.

Yeah, well, I have extreme prejudice with regard to the lack of resolve put forth by the DOJ under Merrick Garland. What a cluster f*ck!

Not that anyone’s going to do anything about it, but it might be good to remember that, as an adjudicated oath-breaking insurrectionist, Mr.Trump is constitutionally disqualified under Sec. 3 of 14th Am from taking the oath as president on 1/20/25 unless 2/3 of both houses lift the disqualification

@unusualwhales.bsky.social is a great account to follow for real time info on a wide variety of topics.

We’re about to find out just how impotent the new administration is. They have neither a mandate nor a clue.

First, the owner of the LA Times spiked the editorial board’s endorsement of Harris. Now he has gone full MAGA

www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202... “This attack on the federal workforce is also an attack on the very institutions that serve the American people,” Spanberger says, “and on Virginia’s population.”

Just a reminder: The Attorney General is not supposed to be the President's lawyer; they're the people's lawyer.

John Cleese for the win
