Holy shit. The U.S. is no longer considered a democracy 😳

Because f*ck the Hatch Act.

Meanwhile, Americans can’t afford eggs and are are having their taxes raised. But yeah, let’s make Greenlanders rich.

Hey algorithm, help spread this. The DOD employs an average of 950K civilians at an avg hourly rate of $42.05. At that rate, the Musk-mandated WAR is costing the US tax payer approximately $39,947,500 per week ($2B per year!), to complete this redundant task.

Members of the DOGE squad lied and tried to force their way into the downtown D.C. headquarters of U.S. African Development (USADF). The DOGE squad was accompanied by Peter Marocco — a Trump toady and member of the MAGA mob who illegally entered the U.S. Capitol during the…

The @lincolnproject isn’t even being sarcastic.

Just gonna leave this right here 👀

So what you’re saying is…

Every DOD civilian should send this to OPM every week.

I’ll take “Which national or international law did the Trump administration violate in the last hour for $500 Alex”

Stunning 🤩

Trump’s murderous freezing of aid that Congress enacted a law to send to Ukraine unconstitutionally usurps the power of the purse, violates the 1974 Impoundment Act, and is an impeachable “high crime and misdemeanor” akin to the extortion for which the Senate should have convicted Trump in 2020.

How is the DoD supposed to remain “mission-focused” if it can’t hire the people needed to do the mission and it’s threatening to fire those focused on it? Explain it to me like I’m 5.

There it is. Literally saying the US and Russia are working together to take away the independence of another country. I'm wondering if any of our press is gonna pick this one up? Seems like headline material?

Trump’s directives to executive agencies to stop cybersecurity operations on Russia is the GOP’s most egregious attack on our democracy. They’re following the same playbook Putin/Xi use to keep them indefinitely and corruptly “elected” against the will of the people.

Says the same guy who allowed the Tate brothers to enter the US.

With all the disdain and repulsion for people who identify themselves as something they’re not, you’d think he’d stop identifying himself as “the United States of America”.

As a Puerto Rican veteran who swore an oath to the Constitution and is aware of the Federal Records Act, this blind following of an illegal order by a military unit is a major concern.

I figured “making America great *again*” meant bringing us back to pre-Civil Rights Act, but I didn’t realize it also meant bringing back 3 to 4 million measles cases per year, leading to 400 to 500 American deaths, 48,000 hospitalizations, and 1,000 cases of encephalitis (brain swelling) annually.

Pay very close attention to what they do with ESL and no child left behind and watch who cheers for this. Making English the official language seems harmless on the surface, but doing so is purposeful and you’ll see the ripple effects from this sooner than you think.

Dear god. You are not the president’s lawyers. You are the Government’s lawyers. Your oath is to the Constitution, not the President. Disgusting degradation of the Justice Department.

He just said it clear as day: “it’s not about the Constitution”

Factchecking Trump in front of the world is real power.

And let me add that evil isn’t categorized as “evil” until the winners write history through their optics, and again when truth rewrites history decades after evil has already done its damage.

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

All of this is teeing up what some legal experts worry could be a constitutional crisis. Or, to put it simply: what happens when the Trump administration blatantly defies the courts? www.democracydocket.com/analysis/wha...

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Wholesale price for a dozen large white eggs is on the version of hitting $8, per USDA data.

"If there is an evil intent to punish perceived enemies, someone could erase your earnings record, making it impossible to collect the Social Security and Medicare benefits you have earned"

America is the only democracy with free speech protections so extreme they protect the right to lie for profit so long as your “product” is politics.

Our feed is full of stories like this one. Every. Day. Trump and Musk are decimating our most critical government services and taking down tens of thousands of veterans with them. This is how Trump’s America treats vets.

A heartfelt “see you later” to our USAID colleagues around the world. -Sincerely, US Embassies everywhere

How does shutting USAID down affect the American workforce? Here’s how:

Accurate political illustration

Recalling USAID staff worldwide is the antithesis of an “America First” policy. Not to mention an egregiously undignified way to treat thousands of American patriots.

USAID has set the benchmark for diplomatic development around the world since its inception by the *real* JFK in 1961. Our USAID colleagues work day in and day out with unwavering dedication to literal lifesaving work overseas. They deserve nothing less than decency and the respect of our nation.

Everyone should read @timothysnyder.bsky.social

Dear Leaders of the Free World, Fight him at every turn. Make his life miserable. Expose his ignorance and sociopathy. Oppose and condemn and marginalize him. The decent people of this nation are not with him. We stand with you. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/dear-world...

Big national media outlet still failing. Headlines suggest some dispute over data access at US AID. *Not connecting the dots with other DOGE moves. *Not conveying illegality. *Not communicating constitutional crisis.

How do you “proclaim” something that President Gerald Ford established in 1976?

Apparently, FB is deciding who people follow now. I don’t even have words.

It hasn’t even been two weeks and they’re already detaining American citizens in Milwaukee.
