My family revitalizes abandoned homes, maintains them, and rents them fairly. I'm very proud of our work. We also play games of all descriptions, especially on a table. I like math and science most, but am interested in everything. He/Him/His

Even if what they're doing isn't intended to destroy our country (it is), it puts us in a severely compromised position against so many threats that it is sufficiently negligent to call for their removal. Impeach now.

This will directly affect the future, & the present, of Pennsylvania & the country. Jonas Salk invented the Polio vaccine at Pitt. Pitt helped unlock DNA & pioneered organ transplants. Musk is offering a future where Americans are poorer, sicker, & less free. One word: NO www.wesa.fm/health-scien...

The Post Office didn't start selling "forever stamps" until 2007 because it took two hundred thirty something years to build up public trust in the institution. And they want to sell it off for quarterly profits.

DOGE could double the "savings" it's found without even ruining whole departments of our government by cancelling federal grants to Elon's companies.

You can fool just enough people for a day in November, but you can't fool any people after a month like February.

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

NEW: Trump has fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, the Chief Naval Officer & the second in command at the Air Force. He is also firing the top lawyers in the Army, Navy & Air Force. These are EXACTLY the steps you’d take if you planned not to step down peacefully in 2029.

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Excuse me, this government seems to be very damaged, I'd like to exchange it for the one I had five weeks ago, I'm pretty sure that's within the return policy window, yes?

"Actually, Mr. Trump, we *will* receive federal funding because this is not a dictatorship, this is a democracy, and Congress has apportioned funding. When you refuse to carry out their instructions I will be first in line to sue and to have you impeached." -is what I wish we'd say

The official account from the office of our highest official on the social media site owned by the man that owns him is uproariously celebrating the needless, hurtful, illegal imprisonment and, likely, torture of people they decided looked like criminals. Sorry, humanity. Most of us hate it too.

Yes, the President has a great deal of power in HOW he does things. But WHAT he does is decided by Congress. And those hows are subject to review by the courts. And if he won't do what he's told he gets Impeached and removed. That's how this country works, that's how it will continue to work.

We're going to have to not only rebuild our broken guardrails, but construct entirely new ones if our allies are to trust us again. We need to make it clearly impossible for one idiot to wreck things in just a month every four years.

Trump is 8 points behind DEI. We have the correct morality. We have the hearts and minds of our fellow citizens. We are right. Now we have to fight.
