Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

NEW — DOGE now has full access to HHS Payment Management System, I’ve learned. The system distributes almost $1 trillion per year in grants (largest in the govt) and supports all of NIH, CDC + many other public health initiatives. Musk guy Luke Farritor is actively delaying payments to recipients.

This purge is bone-chilling and unprecedented. It’s straight out of the authoritarian’s playbook. Inspectors General are a vital, independent check on misconduct and abuse within the executive branch. Trump is ousting them so he can break the law with zero oversight. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/24/u...

Democrats: introduce articles of impeachment tomorrow. Ignore the pollsters and strategists who will tell you not to for the same braindead reasons they always tell you not to stick your necks out. Just do what’s right, it couldn’t be easier to explain.
