Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

Setting up a personalist regime in which everyone is forced to beg for favors from the leader (to get federal funds, an exemption from tariffs, or an agreement not to be prosecuted)

Exhibit #5,000,000 that none of this has anything to do with efficiency. It's just incredibly basic white Christofascism. Anti-science, anti-life. Profoundly sadistic. The people who claim they are going to protect your money would spend any amount of money to cause you even a little more pain.

The idea that the harm will only come to other people is such an under-appreciated part of how we got here.

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

In addition to being civic degenerates these people are in every case infantile, sloppy and incompetent. Grand flourishes of performative cruelty followed by entitled pleas of "I don't know how to do this. Can you help?"

Has anyone pointed out that #GulfOfAmerica <> “Gulf of the United States of America”? Colloquially, “America” can be shorthand for the USA, but politically and geographically, the closest synonym to just “America” is “the Americas.”

The Republican Congress has surrendered. They are no longer a functioning co-equal branch of government. Democrats need to do everything to not cooperate. Use your position to slow their fascist takeover. The time of “bipartisanship” and “finding common ground” is over. Now it’s time to fight.

Amazing that Republican congressmen are willing to give up their power to Elon Musk. Their constituents are going to learn too late that they have no representation

I am begging every Democratic committee, PAC, and candidate to get control of your damn email program right now and stop sending tone deaf fundraising emails that have nothing to do with what's happening. Stop listening to focus groups from a month ago. Stop the 2 approved talking points.

JFK on why he founded USAID. “The economic collapse of those free but less-developed nations which now stand poised between sustained growth and economic chaos would be disastrous to our national security, harmful to our comparative prosperity and offensive to our conscience”.

Just spitballing, but things that could happen today: *Court injunction protecting USAID *Dems demand hearings on Musk's role *Someone introduce articles of impeachment *Dem officeholders go to USAID offices with USAID workers *Refuse to conduct any more Senate confirmations until this is resolved

Some people voted for trump. Some people voted for Kamala. Some people voted 3rd party. But I guarantee you that NOBODY voted for a fucking billionaire to be raiding our Social Security. What the fuck is THIS bullshit?

There is impotent anger and there’s quiet effectiveness, but they aren’t binary. If Schumer and Jeffries went to the mics to explain the crisis and said “no democratic votes for budget items until the lawlessness ends” it would be cathartic and cause an earthquake.

🧵 A total, absurdly comprehensive failure of Congress & Article I of the Constitution. The scale of craven oath violation here in the House, Senate, & federal law enforcement for something like this to happen without consequence is sometime the Founders simply could not fathom.

@nbcnews.com What could be done from your end to make this happen?

Yes @aoc.bsky.social Please rally your colleagues and get this started, and be sure to include the outlets that were evicted from the White House press room. Strong media engagement is a multiplier.

The most surreal and maddening feature of the campaign was that everyone agreed that high prices were the main issue but the guy explicitly, consistently running on a platform of raising everyone’s prices won voters most concerned about high prices. We hammered this time and time again and yet.
