Reminder: An oligarch is taking a chainsaw to the federal government, firing thousands of civil servants every day, shutting down agencies, blocking funds for cancer research, stealing your medicaid and social security... ...because a few hundred billionaires don't want to pay their share in taxes.

I love Bernie and this needs to be done, but can we get someone who ISN’T 80 to champion this? Because what good is it if Bernie actually saves our democracy from the Trump/Musk/Thiel coup, only to lose the next election because we have another media “he’s too old” hit job?

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

It’s almost like it’s not about efficiency or reducing the deficit at all, but rather about Trump and Musk destroying any federal agency that could rein in their corruption.

Why does no one ever seem to notice that “moderate” Republicans take turns voting against bills or nominees while still coordinating to ensure that their vote will in no way jeopardize the passage of said bill/nominee?

Fun fact: no one who is actually interested in reducing budget deficits would ever fire IRS agents as each agent routinely brings in multiple times their salary in revenue from tax evaders. It’s only wealthy tax cheats like Musk and Trump who will benefit from this action.

It’s almost like the federal government ISN’T rife with corruption and inefficiency but rather staffed by normal people who do important, often unseen and unnoticed, work.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

I feel like Catch 22 is one of the most obviously leftist books just bc the protagonist is a smart guy who understands the insanity around him in perfect clarity, but nobody takes him seriously because it's also turned him into a miserable, high-strung neurotic And what's more leftist than that

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Do you remember that time Pence tried to see Hamilton and the cast called him out. Or when McConnell was chased out of a resraurant and not allowed a peaceful meal. Or when Cruz abandoned Texas during the deep freeze and we shamed him into going home. That. Do that.

The debt itself is not the emergency. Inequality is. And DOGE is cutting programs for the poor to clear the way for Trump’s tax cuts for corporations and the rich, making it worse. DOGE is a transfer of wealth from the bottom to the top. See it for what it is.
