Good presentation.

DOGE is an act. I think we're cutting off federal workers & debating over budgets that have extensive cuts to illustrate to Ukraine, NATO & Europe that we're broke. If this were not the case, there would be a much bigger uprising in DC from both sides of the aisle. The military firings are a cover.

Not to alarm anyone but the stooge currently serving as acting head of the Social Security Administration, you know, the one w/access to all your personal info, was, as recently as two weeks ago on paid leave b/c career folks thought he was violating multiple privacy and tax laws

Do you ever wonder "why doesn't Musk just buy Montenegro, or Monte Carlo, or Cancun, or whatever and retire in luxury?" It is because he does not have the money. He does not have the capital, the books are cooked. If he went away they would come after him. He needs to keep the con going. Enron³

We just won a court order stopping DOGE and unauthorized, unelected, and unvetted individuals like Elon Musk from accessing people's private data and blocking federal funds. We will keep fighting to protect all Americans from this administration’s destruction.

When did firing people like nuclear scientists and air traffic controllers seem like a better idea than simply taxing the rich? When?!

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Have they set fire yet to our Constitution?

"North Carolina senator Thom Tillis told people that the FBI warned him about 'credible death threats' when he was considering voting against Pete Hegseth’s nomination for defense secretary... "Tillis ultimately provided the crucial 50th vote to confirm." www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

i think it is cool that de facto first consul of the united states is a drug-addled maniac and deadbeat dad with a breeding fetish

Most of the people quoted here *are Republicans* afraid of death threats *from their own party leader.* www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

Perfect! Thank you for this...Here we go....

Musk is a foreign mercenary being used against us.

Well worth the read

JD Vance owns AcreTrader, an app that lets wealthy—often foreign—investors buy up U.S. farmland. Guess who’s deliberately tanking farm economies so JD and his billionaire tech buddies can scoop it up for pennies. civileats.com/2024/09/18/j...

[through teeth gritted so hard you can hear them snapping from three floors away] oops, welcome to the resistance

A little daily inspiration.

🚨Trump & Musk are coming for your VA benefits. They’re coming for Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid. We can make it politically untenable—but we need your stories. VoteVets delivers the hardest-hitting ads in politics. Help us fight back. Submit now: votevets.org/doge-tipline

"They want the country to collapse. A depopulated, partitioned US is easier to exploit and control. To them, the state is just something to sell. They do not care if the buyers are foreign or domestic." -- THEY KNEW (2022)

This hurts me for them. America has become a traitorous country

The fast-moving destruction of our country, it's norms & supports is designed to desensitize us. It's abuse that will break us down & destroy hope. Don't give in. Let's keep the real stories flowing about people & what they are doing to endure, push back, support. Humanity can triumph over evil.

Attacking people who worked their entire lives for an earned benefit. Go straight to Hell.
