"In less than a month’s time, Rubio has presided over America’s willing abdication as leader of the free world. It’s a shameful legacy that cuts against everything he once proclaimed to stand for."

You don't need to be a coder to figure this out. Simply type: tab age You'll discover a smattering of 99 year olds, a few 100 year olds, a couple of 101 year olds, and a pileup of 150 year olds, but no-one in their 130s or 140s. That's a clear sign you've discovered a coding issue rather than fraud

Here is the oath all executive branch employees take. It is to support and defend the Constitution, not to “implement the president’s agenda.” If the two purposes diverge, the Constitution prevails.

Make the Trump Administration, Elon Musk, and his “DOGE” bros prove that they are in compliance with the existing federal court orders. Put some teeth on these court orders. Non-compliance=contempt of court

This week, my office has received more calls than ever from folks concerned about Elon Musk's access to their personal data. I've taken two steps to help put a stop to Musk's actions. (1/4)

Today I offered a motion to help ensure Elon Musk no longer has unlawful access to Federal Government systems and the private, sensitive data of taxpaying Americans. All but one House Republican voted No and defeated my motion, choosing cowardice over patriotism.

Wow‼️ ICE is gaming Google by changing timestamps on deportation press releases, making months-or even years-old deportations look like breaking news. REALITY: At this pace, they’ll barely hit half the deportations from Biden’s last full fiscal year, 2024.

Dictators and authoritarians globally are cheering Trump/Musk's destruction of USAID. But Trump/Musk think that's good. They're aligned with the dictators/authoritarians in this regard. My exchange with former USAID official @jeremykonyndyk.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/1912...

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

The central core of Trumpism is voter suppression and election subversion. Too many people only pay attention to this right before elections and forget it once elections are over. We must take this threat literally and seriously if we want to have free and fair elections in the future.
