It parallels the war on “liberal”. Guess what, the Founders were liberals. They espoused the ideas of Locke and Voltaire and the natural rights of men, they were adamant about ensuring the Constitution contained zero religious tenets, not tying their rights to religion versus inalienable ones.

Exactly. And to be pointed, others who profess to preach the difference between right and wrong should be prominent too.

Understand the danger: The underlying belief of Project 2025 is that the Constitution is no longer the law of the land, that American democracy will be replaced by White Christo-fascism and wealthy elites, generally white males, will run the country unconstrained by laws.

It took me a few hours and a conversation with a friend who's equally well versed in budget arcana to realize the important of this thread and what @bbkogan.bsky.social has written. Bobby translates a foreign language - federal budget policy - into understandable and compelling posts. Read it all.

Hey @byrondonalds.bsky.social Can’t wait to put this sh*tstorm on you. The race starts now and you will be held accountable for eliminating ANY hurricane relief, cutting Medicare and Social Security, making the country far more dangerous with all YOUR cuts to our military and law enforcement.

Worth noting: The country who is weakest here, Russia, is the one that should be shaken down by the US. Mineral resources? They’ve got tons, give it to us and we won’t equip Ukraine with F-35s, Tomahawks, Patriots, and millions of 155mm shells and artillery plus 10s of billions of aid.

Requirement: ALL government agencies, ALL I say, from the lowly mosquito control district to POTUS, must have accounts on three different social media platforms if they are using them as a means to satisfy their public notice requirements. The minimum number of users on the platform must 10 million.

“Although experts agree that violence – or a threat of it – is always involved, there also needs to be a political motive to qualify as terrorism, says Dr. Hoffman: “It’s about achieving fundamental political change” This defines MAGA to a tee and very much its leader Trump.

“Some government experts have questioned whether Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency – under which Coristine works – has appropriately followed all rules meant to protect US government data.” They are NOT. Hard stop. These are acts that would land anyone else in jail.

Let’s be clear: When a Republican says they want to cut waste and fraud it should be immediately apparent that red herring is just their excuse to impose drastic cuts on whatever they’re talking about. They are lying, which is the only thing you can count on Republicans to do these days.

Read this entire email. It is emblematic of the Americans experience. It is also why not ONE Republican should be entrusted with public office because they despise Americans, their palatable disdain should have disqualified them from office long ago.
