I don't believe in Hell, but if I did I would die happy knowing there was a special seating section for anyone currently railing against "the sin of empathy," and every one of those seats is made with hot rusty barbs

The foundational stupidity of a broad swath of American votes continues to shock me. How can anyone, but especially a federal government employee, have watched the 4 years of chaos under 45 and thought "yes, let's bring him back as 47; he'll do a great job!". 🤯🤬 And "business acumen"? Seriously?

This is in fact a real picture and it will work nicely in the ads next year about the military families devastated by Elon's illegal firings.

📌NYT Headline: “Trump flips the script on Russia, blames Zelenskyy” Sorry, but what the fuck are we supposed to do with crap like this? 📌”Trump betrays Zelenskyy, surrenders to Russia” There, fixed it.

A federal judge temporarily blocked the Trump administration from illegally firing the chair of a board that protects federal workers from unfair employment practices like politically motivated firings.

This is like Senators asking for Trump to release funding for their pet projects. When you campaigned for a personalist presidency you have turned yourself into a beggar seeking the King’s favor rather than a citizen who can be confident of equal treatment for all.

They were never going to lower prices. They never cared about egg prices. It's the same lie as CRT. They want us chasing their bullshit while the real mission is to disassemble the government so the rich can get richer. They are on a mission to destroy it all. It's beyond a coup.

Um, Trump’s entire presidency is a constitutional crisis.

Dear Media, Please refer to all firings of govt employees as illegal impoundments. There is a 9-0 SCOTUS ruling saying that’s what these staff reductions are. Legitimizing any firing, short of performance failure, is NOT TRUTHFUL and misleads the public that these actions are legal

At the behest of Wall Street donors, Congressional Republicans are trying to overturn the CFPB's new rule against predatory overdraft fees. The rule would have capped overdraft charges at $5, saving consumers $5B annually. The GOP is the party of junk fees.

Nobody voted to give a 20-something acolyte of billionaire Elon Musk unfettered access to your IRS tax information or your business’ finances. But here we are. My column on the insane data-privacy crisis DOGE has caused: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

We used to have competent government. Sad how quickly that's deteriorated.

I think this is a fantastic idea. Pete is an extraordinarily eloquent communicator and this might help to begin countering the right-wing propaganda machine that's gone largely unanswered for far too long. We need to engage the un-engaged and Pete could be just the guy to get that ball rolling.

They think that the people who have spent their careers will just quietly go along with their cruelty.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

They want to deny women the right to vote. The first attack: If you've ever married & your name changed so your married name isn't your birth certificate "maiden" name, they want to invalidate your ID & make you ineligible to vote.

People you love will die as health care costs rise and your government pulls back. Ignorance will grow deeper and wider. Farms will fail and families with children will go hungry. Bridges will collapse. The rich will live well off the back of your labor. This is the Republican vision.

"No one" could have predicted what anyone who was paying attention did predict (although Musk's "March Through Georgia" probably does stray a bit beyond what we rational people foresaw).

And it’s worth law professors saying this bluntly. Don’t let professional niceties blind you to normalizing a ridiculously stupid and dangerous perspective as having any merit at all. Call it out clearly, while you still can.

Two lawyers, one Yale educated, one Harvard educated; one the VP, one a senator, suggesting that decisions made by courts aren’t legitimate if they don’t like the outcome. This is dangerous territory.
