DOGE abruptly cut a program called Charting My Path for Future Success—a research-based effort that helped teens with disabilities transition from high school into college, work, and independent living. Now it’s gone without explanation.

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

This! No matter who you don't like in our party we have to remember that the other party is heading for the iceberg! It's time to focus on turning the ship!!

To everyone who told me to “calm down” in 2016 - The sociopathic sexual predator business fraud felon you put back in the office he tried to steal just stood in the White House & said that he wants to send American citizens to concentration camps in El Salvador. So, fuck you.

Karoline Leavitt is a professional liar Trump only hires people who are willing to lie for him. open.substack.com/pub/stopthep...

Outstanding work, GOP voters and nonvoters. America could never be brought down from the outside. That requires Americans who hate the thought of an America that doesn't reflect their own stupid hatefulness.

Foreign concentration camps for American citizens.

I want the smartest people running our country, not the richest or the most gullible.

Speak Truth before you are silenced....1st Roe...Now SAVE.....

Idaho issuch a beautiful state with some really, REALLY, ugly politicians trying to turn it into a whites only, toxic waste site.

Today, I chatted with the great @katiephang.bsky.social about the state of trans rights and how Democrats must fight back, not only for trans equality but because the GOP is gonna keep hammering away on this thru the Midterms. Check out our full discussion here: www.msnbc.com/katie-phang/...

Nobody in trump's administration was chosen for their suitability for their job. They were chosen for their willingness to lie for and to trump and destroy our functioning federal government. They throw sand in every gear & deregulate so that billionaires can pollute & steal more money from us.

Forget about the legal case. A man was wrongly deported and placed in a notorious prison with leaders of a gang out to get him. Anyone with an ounce of basic human decency would fix the mistake and return that man to the United States

How about we start treating people like people? Is that too much to ask?

There’s a special place in HELL for anyone who stands before the Supreme Court and argues that a man they wrongfully sent to an El Salvadorian death camp should stay there.

I oppose the SAVE Act, a bill where if you have changed your name or don't have a passport you may be turned away from voting. It makes it harder for the 80% of married women who have changed their name, and the 60% of Michiganders who don't have a passport to vote. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLXC...

Another WaPo Exclusive. Wow: Trump administration overrode Social Security staff to list immigrants as dead. A sr exec who objected was marched out of his office and put on leave, by @hannahnatanson.bsky.social @reinlwapo.bsky.social @merylkornfield.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

It’s surreal how fast the United States has fallen into a dictatorial regime. Checks and balances are gone, the president disappears innocent people into foreign prison camps, words get banned, and the Overton window shifts at light speed. I honestly wonder these days when they will come for me.

Excuse me but, HELP !!!!! Without Medicaid, I will die, my wife will die. Americans will die without Medicaid.

The draft-dodger wants a big military parade for his birthday?

Maybe, just maybe it's a really bad thing when Russian state TV is praising the American president for ruining America's economy.

Earlier this year, employees began to fear bad actors, could target people for punishment by declaring them dead: “Anybody granted the appropriate permissions within Social Security could mark someone as dead, employees had realized, without having to prove their demise in any way” wapo.st/3RKSQQt

Sorry, what?

The VA is having mental health clinicians work in cubicle farms and tell veterans they can’t guarantee their privacy because of SecVA’s asinine return to work order. There isn’t room! Veterans will suffer. That’s the real goal. Force VA to fail. The price? Veterans. Enough is enough.

The biggest, dumbest bully is squatting in our WH. He has no idea that he has no idea about negotiating trade agreements.

If you work for the SSA and want bulletins and updates, you have to create a Twitter account. federalnewsnetwork.com/agency-overs...

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

Did you know that every single active duty service member pays into social security at the full cost but billionaires are capped at what they contribute?

weird, what could explain this

Bravo!! These students are showing their loyalty to our country and its founding principles!!
