Yeah, these federal workers actually understand what they do for us and how devastating these cuts are for us. It'd be great if the media could explain that clearly instead of taking Elon Musk's word that he's magically produced "savings" that come with no downside.

He’s Black. 👀 #Trump abruptly fired Air Force Gen. CQ Brown as chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff on Fri, sidelining a history-making fighter pilot and respected officer as part of a campaign to rid the military of leaders who support diversity and equity in the ranks.” apnews.com/article/trum...

How does firing Americans help make America great again? Cutting 5-8% of the workers is unproductive and harmful to our economy and society. This is just simply reckless and unsustainable. www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

My dad was tortured by the Gestapo for 4 days and thrown in a concentration camp for being in the Norwegian Resistance. Growing up, he would tell me things he learned in the Resistance. I thought, I'm never going to need this stuff. Here's some of those things #Thread

Once upon a time, these were actions by a private company. Now they are actions being undertaken by a high-ranking government official, in connection with his public activities. This raises 1A issues that didn’t exist before.

Prediction: the Nаzi salute will become common within 2 years. RWers will half-аss it for plausible deniability, memeify the backlash, then start fully doing it "as a joke" "to troll the libs" "for being hysterical enough to think we were doing it in the first place"

I knew Judge Ho would come through. He may sound mild-mannered, but it would be a mistake to underestimate him.

NEW: Judge Dale Ho has concluded the hearing in Mayor Eric Adams’ case. The short of it: Emil Bove & Adams denied the existence of a quid pro quo. An interesting argument from Bove: he claims Ho can’t stop the dismissal even if there WAS a quid pro quo. Judge will issue his ruling soon.

I heard Gov. Abbott asked them to steer clear of the state until he gets to watch some kids die. Man, there's nothing he loves more than watching kids die. School shootings, barbed-wire migrant crossings, power outages, measles, whatever. It doesn't matter how, as long as some kids die.

I don't think Ed Sullivan will lie, but I don't think he will be explicitly critical of Bove either.

I have never seen a judge tell lawyers that their case is founded on total shit quite so directly or completely before. “You know you’re just completely wrong about biology, right?”

He's not just hearing about it. He's lying. He always says this, but it doesn't work when you're the POTUS. He's apparently forgotten that the POTUS isn't supposed to be unaware of major actions being taken in his name. However you view his claim -- a lie, the truth, or confusion -- it's damning.

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

Trump doesn't know how to negotiate, only surrender. And Putin knows it. "But even while the meeting in the Saudi capital was under way, Russia hardened its demands. Foreign Minister Lavrov and FM spox Zakharova signaled that Russia will keep pressing for further concessions in the negotiations."

Russia is at its weakest in years. Putin is in a precarious situation. They are attacking western interests around the world and murdering Europeans. Why is Rubio bending a knee and showing weakness?
