Look, I know everyone is more worried about the collapse of democracy, but most people don't even know that's happening because it hasn't hit them personally yet. Economic pain is what will turn moat people's heads, not USAID being gutted. It sucks, but that's where we are.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

Good words here. When Rs break with Trump on an issue like this let’s encourage it.

As horrific as this is, I almost want them to do it. I'm sure it will sit really well with everyone having some jackboot with an EMT certificate sitting in a locked room looking at their kids' junk during orientation.

This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.

Now the GOP gets to play the "exactly how dumb are our voters" game.

I don't know anything at all about Paul Clement, other than that he's nominally conservative and a Partner in a law firm. Guys.....please don't Fetterman this guy. Wait and see what he does before we white knight him. He's rich. Trump knows how to play rich people.

This is why you don't stop fighting. Why you don't give up. Why don't just throw up your hands and say "whelp, i guess he won."

They blink a lot. They lose in court too. They are even feeling some pressure from within the party. Things are bad, but not hopeless.

Shitstains like this can go fuck themselves. Online liberals are so fucking primed to give up before the battle is even fought and it's really starting to piss me right the hell off.

The crowd recognized it, responded by cheering, and he acknowledged that in return. It isn't some sneaky thing a few elites are caught up in, dogwhistling to the fringes. It is the base of their movement. Because they're Nazis. Sincere, unambiguous fans of Hitler and everything that goes with that.

We need to keep up the messaging - the outcomes we are experiencing are due to Trump, the Republicans and Muskrat.

FYI, Hakeem Jeffries just went on the number one podcast in the country, the @meidastouch.com podcast, and spoke about what Democrats are doing and what we have to do to fight the Trump Regime. None of the people attacking him bothered to watch.

You want to know why we lost the last election? In this moment when we must be fighting Republicans I want you to look at the people engaging in attacking Democrats instead. Search "Hakeem Jeffries" and look at the accounts click farming and capitalizing on peoples anxiety.

Elon Musk is cratering in polls: WaPo: Only 34% approve of Musk's role, 63% worry about his data access CNN: 54% say it's bad Musk was given a big role Majorities disapprove of Trump in CNN, WaPo, Gallup. On the pod, @juliaazari.bsky.social is great on all this: newrepublic.com/article/1917...

I’m getting the sense that town halls are not going well for Republicans. Trump booed today. Duffy booed today. This is good.

I'm sorry but I'm just not going to be cowering in fear of these clowns. They suck and they are cruel but they are not God.

See, the thing about authoritarianism is that even if you agree with the authoritarian, you’ve got to be ok with them disappearing/murdering the people who don’t. But I guess murder is just one of those pesky “rules” that libs worship.
