@chrismurphyct.bsky.social: "The question is can you work with Republicans in the middle of a constitutional crisis when democracy is on the line? And right now, I think that this crisis is serious and deepening in its seriousness, that our job #1, #2, and #3 is to save our democracy."

Yesterday ~68 people employed in HHS's Administration for Children & Families early childhood offices were terminated. I'm told Office of Head Start lost ~20% of staff; Office of Child Care lost ~25% These workers process grants for preschools/childcare centers, monitor health/safety issues, etc.

Steve Bannon announced: he spoke with Ric Grenell, and the J6 Choir will perform at the Kennedy Center. Yes, this is real. Don’t wish that it were satire?

NEW: The Energy Department tried to spin its DOGE-directed firing of nuclear-safety officials as affecting just non-critical staff. But this wasn’t close to true. In fact, one of the officials locked out of his work accounts was the top authority for all nuclear-safety matters in the agency.

How quaint all the pearl clutching about Hillary calling these assholes 'Deplorable' was... There's just so much proof of exactly how deplorable Republicans are. It would be embarrassing if they had souls.

I won't make an ageist comment as result of seeing this picture. Instead I will speak truth. These two people have only inflicted harm on Americans and won't live long enough to suffer the consequences.

It’s almost as if past violent behavior is indicative of future violent behavior. It’s only a matter of time before the majority of those who were pardoned, for their role on January 6th, reoffend.

#BREAKING: #SCOTUS issues order holding "in abeyance" President Trump's application to let him fire Hampton Dellinger until next Wednesday (when the temporary restraining order keeping Dellinger in place expires). In other words, a significant (and short-lived) punt.

Dear outside world, when you talk amongst yourselves about the insanity happening in the United States, please refer to Trump and not “Americans” because there are so many of us locked in a 4-year cringe.

BREAKING: Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was arrested TODAY near the U.S. Capitol by Capitol Police. As Tarrio was walking away from a rally, he knocked the phone out of the hands of a heckler. Police immediately took Tarrio into custody. GOOD!

Yesterday marked one month of President Donald Trump’s second term. Amidst the weeks of chaos and confusion, the President picked up right where he left off from his first term, resuming attacks on reproductive rights and access to care.
