Trump surrenders on autos after less than 2 days after the market tanked and he heard from auto CEOs and Republicans in Congress. He’s a feckless dipshit.

Alina Habba on veterans who have been fired from government jobs: "Perhaps they're not fit to have a job at this moment."

I don’t know if I have ever in my lifetime felt more embarrassed to be an American than I feel at this very moment…

Just read this graf. Share it with people you know who don’t pay attention to politics or news.

NEW: “Kennedy paused a multimillion dollar project to create a new Covid-19 vaccine in pill form on Tuesday, and the Food and Drug Administration canceled an advisory committee meeting on updating next season’s flu vaccine.” newrepublic.com/post/192059/...

everyone seeing how when you takeaway the DEI the planes start falling out of the sky

Greene: Those are not real jobs producing federal revenue. Federal employees do not deserve their jobs. Federal employees do not deserve their paycheck

Reporter: Who is the administrator of DOGE? White House secretary: “I’m not going to reveal the name of that person from this podium…”

1400 more firings at Veterans Affairs: "Officials said specifically that Veterans Crisis Line responders were not affected by the dismissals. But workers within the department said that support staff for the crisis line were among the workers let go..." www.militarytimes.com/veterans/202...

Courage and honor come in many forms.

Pritzker: "We're talking about the death of a constitutional republic. That's what happened in Germany in 1933, 1934. And we're seeing today that we've got an administration in Washington that's ignoring court orders."

This is what courage looks like. While so many stay silent, these people took a stand. We need more of that—right now. 📌 21 civil service employees resigned from DOGE

MSNBC left casual racism behind and went competitive.

🤔

TRUMP: We will be a merit based society.

Al Sharpton's plan... 💙

Joy on our crisis of democracy: "Tonight on our final ReidOut, we’re going to talk about what people are actually doing to resist this and get some great advice from some of our favorite friends on what more we can do."

A newfound RESPECT for @maddow.msnbc.com for keeping it real about what’s going on at MSNBC and how she really feels about it. She didn’t have to say this, but I’m so glad she did. Take 2 minutes… (1 of 2)

While you weren't looking, Trump rolled back Biden's ethics rules prohibiting executive branch employees from accepting major gifts from lobbyists. So much for "drain the swamp."

We love merit, don’t we folks?

Big Balls”? I’m shocked.

“Fraud” is a crime. We’re still waiting for all the arrests. ⏰ www.publicnotice.co/p/despite-th...

We had friends & allies around the world based on alliances & relationships that were built over many decades. In one month, Trump has torched them all. Now our friends are Putin, Orban, the crypto scammer in Argentina, and the guy in El Salvador offering us mercenary prisons.

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.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

It's never good when the richest person in the world and the worst person in the world are the same person.

😕

“It’s disgusting...it’s insulting” @heathmayo.bsky.social reacts to Elon Musk’s demand for federal employees to justify their work or resign.

$200 million taxpayer dollars spent on “tell me I’m pretty” ads to stroke his own ego, while he fires people to “save money.” Sociopathic.

He nails it.

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia has published a letter sent to him by Trump’s Department of Justice threatening to potentially prosecute him for criticizing Elon Musk.

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

Jamie Raskin: "Given that I was marching at age 3, you know I’m not letting any coup-plotting, election-denying, insurrection-supplying autocrat, kleptocracy, plutocrat or theocrat, or any techno-feudalist Silicon Valley broligarchs aspiring dictator, turn me around now.” Amen!!

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people. And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

These absolute morons are going to destroy the United States. If you’re in favor of the US leaving NATO, you either don’t want the US to succeed, or you don’t know wtf NATO does. Worth noting that Mike Lee voted to expand NATO in 2022.

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

They are just swinging sledgehammers in the dark.
