Rep. Crockett knows how to to play the game and is rising to this occasion. Other Dems should take notes and follow her lead.

Notice how NOW Fox acknowledges that egg prices are about more than govt policies so they can exonerate the Trump Regime from responsibility.

Is anyone compiling a comprehensive list of all the laws Trump, Musk, DOGE, et. al. are currently violating? Seeing the full scope of the illegality at play here may be helpful.

I wonder how smart it is for current staffers in these agencies to resign in protest. Won't that just allow DOGE or whoever to replace them with their cronies?

They’ve called armed federal officers to the scene. We aren’t dangerous. We are here to represent our people. To defend public education. This is an authoritarian regime. You cannot block members of Congress from entering the Department of Education.

“They apparently just sort of walked past security and said: ‘Get out of my way,’" Can other federal buildings simply not let these douchebags in? Blockade the doors, get physically in their way, get security involved, call the police, make them call the police, call the media to get attention.

This is interesting. Perhaps a more decentralized and local series of protest movements would be better suited to this moment than one larger, and more difficult to coordinate, resistance. Also, targeting not Trump directly, but those responsible for enforcing his orders, work to slow things down.

I know everything is chaotic, which makes it difficult to reflect, but I'd like to draw your attention to this from @jamellebouie.net.

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

Can I ask a question? Who is preventing Dems from entering USAID and Treasury? I know Musk and his minions are behind this, but who is physically there stopping people from entering? Police? Hired security?

In general this is a good piece, and neatly sums up some of the operating "principles" of the Trump Regime. However, the line about the academy of "woke leftism" is a bit jarring. newrepublic.com/post/190987/...

The DOJ, the environment, human health, the separation of powers, now education. He's trying to reshape this nation into a perverted, distorted, unrecognizable shell of its former self through fiat. Luckily, not everything will work, but the fact that they're trying says a lot.

Saying that celebrating America's history is proper implies that anything not celebrating that history, anything even hinting that maybe America isn't great, is improper and will be judged as unacceptable.
