“Trump firing the Archivist of the US is a big effing deal. This, more than any other firing, is the canary in the coal mine. A president has never fired an Archivist in the 100 yr history of having this position.” This is five alarm fire! 🚨

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.

On Feb. 14th I try always to give honor to one of the greatest contributors to American democracy in our nation’s history, Frederick Douglass. Born into slavery, Douglass never knew his actual birthdate, and adopted Feb. 14th as the day. His penetrating insights about our country inspire me daily.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Never ceases to amaze me that ppl still vote GOP when the party routinely defunds & votes against things we want. Mouthpieces say "Biden did it," "men in women's sports" "critical race theory" & folks believe them bc it's easier than looking in the mirror to see that GOP's the real bogeyman.

We can’t say this enough: When people in Trump‘s orbit deliberately lie about how our constitutional democracy works, they violate the oaths they take to uphold the law. & they violate the trust the American people place in them.

The real MeToo “cancel culture” was what happened to the women and other victims who came forward. They were retraumatized, harassed, humiliated, sued, fired, and blacklisted. Then they were the subject of a revisionist history that MeToo went “too far” and deserved a reactionary backlash

I hate to break to Trump but Two-Spirit (trans) people have existed here in North America for thousands of years. They predate the arrival of white people and their “Christianity.” Trans people will be here long after Trump is dead and gone.

The "waste" this eliminates is people. Regular folks who do jobs that provide benefits for everyone. Where in the private sector are they supposed to find jobs? Who in the private sector can pick up the slack to provide services lost? No one. The bigger scam here is breaking America. #resist

Trump and the GOP are trying to repeal a Biden admin rule that requires lead water pipes to be replaced. Tens of millions of people, including children, would continue to have contaminated drinking water if the rules are revoked. So the GOP is the party of lead poisoning now?

TRANSLATION: If this accident was caused by a straight white man, it won’t fit my “illegal DEI” narrative, so I have to get ahead of this with a bunch of nonsense because I know reporters will report what I say on loop, and everyone will believe me.
