US officials are reportedly threatening to revoke Starlink access for Ukraine if they don’t give us 50% of their mineral rights. That’s not diplomacy, it’s extortion. We’re also pushing them to kill a UN Resolution that blames Russia for starting the war. Facts matter.

One thing Democrats need to be careful about when criticizing DOGE is not defending the system. The government is broken. There is wasteful spending—but there's a right way and a wrong way to do it. What Trump and Musk are doing is absolutely the wrong way. It's reckless and makes us less safe.

Let's be very clear. The Constitution says that presidents are limited to being elected twice. Anyone who says otherwise needs to read the 22nd Amendment.

Here’s what is going on. When you start firing the military’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.

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

Here’s the hard truth: this country’s people are tired of subsidizing billionaires. Want your cars to sell? Do it without subsidies. Want to shoot rockets into space? Get by without govt contracts. Want to build a website? Build your own internet first. We are DONE with you.

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

Hey all my fellow 60+ folks who had many decades of social security contributions deducted from our paychecks but who haven’t hit the retirement age yet… Aren’t you feeling great now that these 19-25 year old racist misogynists have control of YOUR life’s toil?

Just to clarify: The “dictators” she’s talking about are the leaders of the country that got invaded and our NATO allies. Not the actual dictator who invaded a country and murders critics at home. Courageous stuff.

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

With all due respect, Congressman, he’s not trying to distract from anything here. He’s a grandiose pathological narcissist. A narcissistic sociopath. A malignant narcissist. A psychopath. A megalomaniac. This is what he thinks of himself. And what he wants others to think of him.

I just heard...about 5 minutes ago...Rachel Maddow said that Trump has announced he is going to INCINERATE $500 MILLION dollars of COVID-19 tests...that taxpayers have ALREADY paid for. Something needs to happen...fast. This is bullshit that cannot continue. This. Cannot. Continue.
