The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

Trump just deputized unelected billionaire Elon Musk's private bodyguards, giving them rights and protections reserved for federal law enforcement. Are people still afraid to say the word "coup?" www.cnn.com/2025/02/20/p...

A legitimate reason for Hochul not to remove Adams until after 3/26. Cuomo benefitting from name recognition in an 80-day special election before the real primary (go @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social) would be awful. The question is how do we protect our immigrant neighbors for the next month?

Trump's first term: Maybe Reince Priebus, Rex Tillerson, Jared Kushner, or HR McMaster can be the moderating voices? Trump's second term: Can Steve Bannon be the moderating voice and use anti-immigrant, nationalist sentiment to stop the billionaire ransacking the Treasury?

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Trump deploys the least articulate thumb of all time to park his fat ass in a handful of conservative media studios and breathe new life into right-wingers' psychosexual fixation with AOC. Last Trump term, Border Patrol agents got caught posting memes of her being assaulted.

I feel like I'm going insane every time I see a media story about DOGE that doesn't also mention the fact that the Government Accountability Office exists and performs the exact function that DOGE pretends to, only in a credibly constitutional, non-partisan, and conflict-of-interest-free manner

Our HHS Secretary RFK Jr, the former heroin addict who said the drug made him a better student and who is infamously slutty, thinks HIV may not cause AIDS. This man says it's caused by gay men's sexual promiscuity and the fault of drug addicts. Recycled Reagan-era conservatism.

Strong rumor with credible sourcing: DOJ has put all of public integrity line attorneys in a room and told them they have an hour for someone to choose who will sign motion to dismiss and if nobody does, they will all be fired. The nastiest strong-arming in DOJ history by a long shot.
