I've argued everywhere I can that what Trump and Musk have done at USAID is completely illegal. We are fighting in court to defend this vital agency and its workers, who have done so much to save lives and build American influence around the world. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

I think Iā€™m a little surprised at how quickly so many institutions caved. What does that indicate?

Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that couldā€™ve gotten our pilots killed. He needs to resign in disgrace immediately.

When the stakes are this high, incompetence is not an option. Pete Hegseth should resign. Mike Waltz should resign.

The Signal leak is a prime moment for Democrats to get caught trying. Call for resignations or impeachment hearings or both. Be omnipresent in the media demanding and explaining accountability measures. Donā€™t let this fade away. Treat this the way the GOP treated Hillaryā€™s emails. Make it a thing.

Circling back on thisā€¦

Heads must roll. This is one of the dumbest security breaches in history, and it suggests a larger pattern of potentially criminal behavior that puts Americans at risk.

Well this didn't age well.

Follow the money and see where it goes. Nothing like buying our Congress. Musk has made the maximum allowable donation to members of Congress who support impeaching federal judges who are impeding actions taken by Trump.

CARTOON OF THE DAY šŸ˜•šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø

The day of the vote is here and my message hasnā€™t changed: I am a NO on this reckless CR that will hurt Virginians.

How badly do you have to fuck up being the Democratic leader that Trump is praising and congratulating you????

šŸ• Couldnā€™t make it up if we tried ā€” the same day Trump celebrates K9 Veterans Dayā€¦ DOGE cuts hit the TSA and they stop feeding and taking care of their bomb-sniffing dogs šŸ˜•

Seems like things will have to get even bleaker before the majority of this country wakes up to counter this sustained systematic dismantling of the government. Hard to believe with how bad things are now

JP was really quite the prick. (Just catching up on this show)

How do I report this waste, fraud, and abuse by a major government contractor to DOGE?

Tonight Trump will address a coequal branch of government for which he has shown total contempt. Meanwhile my constituents are seeing their livelihoods destroyed by illegal actions. What he is doing is not normal, it is not acceptable, and I won't be attending. www.youtube.com/shorts/MlTIB...

When Musk sends legions of fans after the regulators of his companies, causing death threats and forced relocations, its fair game. The don't have an army of bodyguards/US Marshals protecting them. What he wants is to gut the govt with zero accountability or pushback. www.cnn.com/2024/11/27/b...

If the UKā€™s immigration rules mean what they say, Trump shouldnā€™t even be allowed to enter the country, let alone for a state visit ā€¦.

Itā€™s been a long day, but in short, bullies ainā€™t shit! I donā€™t care what title you hold! This isnā€™t some long gone reality tv show or failed casino; it is war! How dare a draft dodging dumb dupe humiliate an ally & berate a brave man who has actually been on a battlefield for his people?!

New Yorker's editor-in-chief David Remnick expresses frustration with Democratic Party leadership, asking "when is the opposition going to come?" He then criticizes Hakeem Jeffries' remark that one shouldn't swing at every pitch, saying: "What pitch are the Democrats going to swing at finally?"

Anyone ever give a second MMR earlier than currently recommended? Wondering if itā€™s an option for my 2 year old. #medsky

Things are so bleak

Wake me up when itā€™s over. I canā€™t believe weā€™re barely a month in

UPDATE: The Coeur dā€™Alene Press spoke with the woman who was dragged out of a town hall for heckling legislators, confirmed which security firm worked the event and spoke with Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris and Coeur dā€™Alene Police Chief Lee White about the events.

My kid is a pro at stalling come bedtimeā€¦

Hereā€™s what is going on. When you start firing the militaryā€™s top lawyers, that means you are getting ready to order the military to do unlawful things. Trump replaces those JAGs with men who will justify any future unlawful and unethical actions that he wants the military to do.

Would love to see protests getting bigger and bigger until they canā€™t be ignored anymore. If our government representation isnā€™t gonna stand up for us then the people will have to for themselves.

Virginia needs new representation

This is why thereā€™s been so much silence as Black history and Black books are being purged, and integration efforts dismantled. Many Democrats think the purges are valid and necessary. ā€œCandidly, the attack on over-the-top wokeism was a valid attack."

Iā€™m gonna need to keep an emergency bottle of wine at the house at all times. Never know when a shift will require that level of decompression.

Ugh. We need new representation badly
