Firing the Joint Chief Chair and replacing him with an under-qualified white man is the definition of unfair preferential hiring practices. It’s why they hate DEI so much, they see it as their invention being used against them

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

Last night I went to see an REM cover band fronted by actor Michael Shannon. They played Fables of the Reconstruction start to finish & then did a second set of deep cuts. Peter Buck came out & played on the last 5 songs or so. It was fantastic.

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

I feel like I'm going insane every time I see a media story about DOGE that doesn't also mention the fact that the Government Accountability Office exists and performs the exact function that DOGE pretends to, only in a credibly constitutional, non-partisan, and conflict-of-interest-free manner

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

Shockingly, it turns out that empowering the richest human being on the planet to maliciously and gratuitously heap additional misery on that planet’s most poor, hungry, and desperate people might—just might—pose a niggling political problem to President Donald Trump.

This. Also. @aoc.bsky.social @ericswalwell.bsky.social et al , can you do what ever you guys do in the House to let Musk, Trump and everyone know that the UCFE, which funds unemployment benefits , is in the Dept of Labor. If these funds are cut, the cost will fall on the states.

When SpaceX’s Starship blew up in January, Musk called it “barely a bump in the road,” brushing off the FAA’s concerns. Yet during the accident, dozens of airplanes scrambled to avoid debris. Pieces of the craft were later found on beaches and roads.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Musk wouldn’t have taken questions in the Oval Office and looked like a cornered criminal if the pressure and attention wasn’t building. Don’t stop highlighting that the richest man in the world is taking over government. Keep talking. Paper your city if you have to. Do not give in.
