They’re not making cuts to eliminate waste. They’re destroying our federal agencies to privatize them. Those contracts will be funneled to the oligarchy. What standard of service do you expect to receive once there is no competition? They will own you. abcnews.go.com/Politics/whi...

I logged onto LinkedIn today expecting to see my feed filled with outrage from the lawyer connections I have – most of whom are former federal government attorneys who now work outside the federal government in private practice or in the private sector. Per a Tuesday Executive Order, /1

Something that’s very clear is that Trump is old and checked out. He wants to play the role of president but has zero interest in doing the job and is happy to outsource the real work to Musk, Vought and a crew of feral zealots.

So increasing the minimum wage to a livable wage is “socialism”? But Amazon union busting, keeping wages low, and forcing workers onto public assistance while its founder increases his net worth by $7.9M an hour is the "free market"? Perhaps this could be a WaPo opinion piece.

I see more criticism here of Democrats in Congress than I do condemnation of Republicans. And yet it is the GOP who are enabling Trump. It tells me a lot when I see you regularly bash our side but say nothing, ever, about the other. Reflect on your choices. You may be helping the fascists.

DOGE needs to be stopped immediately before it inflicts more harm on America’s national security. America’s adversaries are jubilant. In two short weeks, Russia and China have witnessed DOGE doing more to erode American global influence than they could ever dream of doing.

Worth noting that McConnell refusing to whip votes to convict Trump at his impeachment trial (or vote himself to convict) is why we’re now in a position where a trade war with our allies could happen. If McConnell is looking for the person at fault, he might want to consult a mirror.

To recap, Trump: -Forced out the FAA chief at Musk's insistence -Imposed a hiring freeze that reportedly included air traffic controllers -Fired the TSA head and gutted a key aviation safety committee -Blamed the DCA crash on DEI This is disastrous leadership.

Privatizing the VA means putting our veterans' healthcare in the hands of corporations that prioritize profits over people. We can't let this happen! They'll start with the VA, then move on to Medicare & Medicaid. Save veterans' healthcare!!

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

Republicans say they will cut $2.5 trillion in federal spending. The only place to get such an amount is from mandatory programs like Social Security and Medicare. Make no mistake: the GOP will pay for their next round of tax cuts for the rich by gutting your earned benefits.

If the IRS keeps going after the wealthy tax cheats abusing just this one loophole, that’ll save $100 billion over the next decade. Republicans want to defund the IRS and put a commissioner in place who will go after you — not the billionaires skirting taxes.

According to the CBO, extending Trump's tax cuts for the rich would shrink the economy over the long run. Extending the cuts would also increase the deficit by $4.6 trillion and be used by Republicans as an excuse to gut programs millions rely on. It's reverse Robin Hood.
