For all the USPS's faults, Americans have to realize: It's one of the best postal services in the world, even after being kneecapped by DeJoy. Fight for our postal service, guys. I know I will. It is an essential public good.

I don’t judge Mitch McConnell for his choice of political party. I judge him for his greed, racism, and hunger for power. I judge him for causing irreparable damage to the Supreme Court, and not voting to convict Donald Trump. So will others. So will history.

“Trump's Dept of Homeland Security has now budgeted as much as $200 million on anti-immigrant ads, & the first round of them make clear his admin intends to use this immense amount of public money to very specifically promote Trump, both in America & around the globe.” Wasteful spending my ass.

So as they insist Elon’s DOGE is all powerful and must have access to everything and be able to fire everyone… they are declaring in federal court Elon isn’t even technically a part of it? 🤔 What a mess. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

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.

Tom Homan asks “where is that line,” as if it is mysterious or unknowable. It’s not. Tom’s saying it that way because he’s too much of a coward just to say “she should be arrested for telling people their rights.” Also, to be fair, he may be too dim to understand the line.

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

So the guy who ran around screaming for "Parents' Rights" about vaccines wants to "re-parent" Black kids? Maybe someone should tell the HHS Secretary about the horrific legacy of residential schools.

Don't do this administration's work for them by coming up with justifying and rationalizing arguments for institutions and organizations to cooperate. This includes the justifications for why the Democratic party has to "find common ground." If you even start to think this, slap yourself.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.
