This is how it’s done.

For now this is performative buffoonery.

Every reporter today should be asking every Congressional Republican why they're OK siding with Putin and walking away from NATO and democracy.

More than 10,000 federal employees who had yet to complete their probationary periods have been fired by the Trump administration, including those who work to protect American agriculture.

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

Could someone place an order for 100 more Jasmine Crocketts for overnight delivery to the Democratic Party thx in advance

Trump posted 14 times about his Daytona 500 trip—but not once about the deadly flooding in multiple states.

How long until the Library of Congress faces a purge? Should historians be getting what resources they can now? I'm imagining anything related to the civil rights movement, anti-fascism, and even public health could be gone soon.

Congratulations America! You have given the keys to a madman. Well guess what? We the People will resist the madness! #Resist

Truly wild to see how Trump is playing second fiddle to Elon Musk. Musk is clearly acting as the de-facto president while Trump just fires off social media posts as if he is Musk's assistant.

I have just finished reading Danielle Sassoon’s memorandum in its entirety. It is a tour de force. Its correctness is obvious. She’s an American hero. Emil Bove ought to be investigated by his state’s bar association for discipline and possible disbarment, at least.

The State Department said Thursday that it had put plans to buy armored electric vehicles on hold after reports that the $400 million order would go to Tesla.

Matthew Lohmeier, a podcaster who was fired from Space Force after self-publishing a book about Marxism, is one of Donald Trump’s key choices for a top military post. His main qualification is claiming the government has been infiltrated by leftists.

OMB's Russell Vought wants to slash funding for NIH, which helped develop a "miracle drug" for cystic fibrosis that his daughter received. “We’re extremely grateful to live in a nation that leads the way on medical innovation,” Vought's wife wrote in a 2021 post. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

As Musk and Trump demolish the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), hear President John F. Kennedy explain in 1962 why he established the aid agency in his first year in office. He called USAID a "very powerful source of strength" for the U.S. Will they destroy Peace Corps as well?

The @lincolnproject.us makes it our business to stand up to the two most powerful men in the world. President Trump. And his boss, Elon Musk.

As Trump pretends to find wasteful spending - and many servicemembers face substandard housing - his unqualified Defense Secretary wastes $50K in taxpayer money to repaint his house. As @democrats-appropriations.house.gov MilCon/VA Ranking Member, I joined @delauro.house.gov to demand answers.
