This is very, very bad. Am working on a write-up, but let’s just say that firing military leaders for blatantly political reasons is wildly inappropriate; firing all the too lawyers is ominous; firing them all at the same time is a terrifying five-alarm fire

When you understand that DOGE was never meant to save money and make the government more efficient, but to burn it all to the ground and sell it to the highest bidder.... ......it all makes sense.

Donald Trump isn't interested in a smaller government, he wants a weaponized government. He doesn't want fewer federal employees, he just wants them loyal to him.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

After American airspace was closed on 9/11, over 230 flights with 30,000 passengers and crew were diverted to Canadian airports. Transport Canada received thousands of calls from members of the public offering to help the stranded passengers. Thinking about that today, for no particular reason.

7 years ago, during the first Trump regime, there was a quiet protest…”A day without immigrants.” Because apparently we’ve remained just as stupid and mean-spirited as we were then, immigrants are doing it again, Monday, Feb. 3rd. (www.instagram.com/reel/DFj7iZV...) www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzNX...

Hi all, We’re still here at OPM. We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building. Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.

As Project 2025 advances, Democrats have no clear message, no clear response and no clear person leading the party. This is absolutely unacceptable. So let’s instead discuss what we as ordinary citizens can and should do. Because sitting idle isn't an option. www.qasimrashid.com/p/project-20...
