Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Yep, weather gets better, protests blow up, military shoots some people, martial law declared, people are scared. There will be a “presidential security force” lead by J6 rioters and proud boy’s. Separate from the military. It won’t work, but shits gonna get bad before it gets better. Don’t comply.

Chris Kluwe, arrested for anti-MAGA protest: "I've done my part, now it's your turn. We need to step up and stop the madness, because we have a man (Trump) who put a crown on his head. I can't think of anything more unamerican than a President wearing a crown."

Carville: USAID spent $41 billion the federal budget is 6 trillion. Actually comes to something like .014%. So take that and put it against the 6 trillion and see what you have done when your president is responsible for more federal debt than any president in the history of the United States.

The IRS has initiated layoffs of about 6,700 employees, primarily targeting probationary staff and those in compliance roles. These are the people who "go after tax evasion." If you wanted an efficient government, wouldn't you wait until tax season is over or was the Trump champagne already cold?

I can’t believe this is happening: grants awarded by the NIH cannot be funded for the foreseeable future because of a hold on submissions to the Federal Register, where such public notices about upcoming meetings are required by law to be posted www.thetransmitter.org/funding/fede...

Musk is firing people who operate the Veterans Crisis Line. One of the most substantial and successful tools to fight veteran suicide today. They literally did a 2014 documentary about it that won an Oscar. Can someone point me to the outrage from the MAGA “we love the troops” crowd?

My grandmother’s family was murdered in the chambers of Auschwitz. She survived and told me never let it get that far. Make them shoot you in public before they murder you in hiding. Stand up for others. Never cave in fear of the Nazis or the holocaust will happen again.
