When did firing people like air traffic controllers and nuclear scientists seem like a better idea than simply taxing the rich?

We wanted them to have healthcare and a high paying job and a planet to live on and freedom. They want us to suffer. The parties are not the same.

A smart political party would be running ads about this. Would have press conferences with affected workers explaining how their work helped everyday people. Would have bought a Superbowl ad. Would never fucking shut up about what is happening.

Jamie Raskin: "Given that I was marching at age 3, you know I’m not letting any coup-plotting, election-denying, insurrection-supplying autocrat, kleptocracy, plutocrat or theocrat, or any techno-feudalist Silicon Valley broligarchs aspiring dictator, turn me around now.” Amen!!

1/ I am seeing a lot of comments on the slashing of NIH support along the lines of “universities should just spend their huge endowments.” I’m the last person to cheer on the institutional stratification rising endowments have contributed to. But let me explain why this is not a solution.

Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution requires that the president "shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed," but let's be honest, being faithful was never his strong point.

SCOTUS to rule this week if King Donald I can fire the head of Office of Special Counsel for political expediency, in violation of fed law. OSC protects fed whistleblowers; easy to see why Donald I wants someone there who puts loyalty to him above duty to the law. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/16/u...

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

One way we get out of this is at the ballot box in 2 yrs, by removing the Republicans from leadership in Congress and in the states. Which means a lot of us have got to spend the next two years building bridges to moderate Repulican voters and independents. We have our marching orders.

At what point do we start to say out loud that the Republican party is no longer a legitimate political party because its goal is the undoing of the US Constitution, including by force if they can get away with it (viz Jan 6).

The party in control in the US, the Republican party, is no longer a party of laws. It is a party of authoritarianism, of loyalty to a single man over loyalty to the Constitution, to our traditions, to our institutions, to everything that made us, once upon a time, that shining city on the hill.

So do we go with Emperor Trump or King Donald? Because that's obviously how the GOP is treating him, so might as well start reflecting it back to them so they can own it.

Hopefully they all said "no". I can't adequately describe how eminently skilled and qualified and experienced in cybersecurity you have to be to be working at this level. If they leave, hopefully it's to join or form a gov't watchdog group.

@fetterman.senate.gov here's a last look at the web page for the FBI task force on foreign interference, which Pam Bondi has said she will eliminate. You voted for her, an election denier. This is yours. www.fbi.gov/investigate/...
