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?

Looking forward to the Trump Justice Department explaining how birth right citizenship is unconstitutional but a South Africa born oligarch has the legal authority to fire every single federal employee by tweet.

🧵🚨 Trump & Musk’s sudden interest in Fort Knox isn’t random. This could be a setup for the biggest financial power grab in U.S. history. A thread on how they might exploit America’s gold reserves for personal gain.

Rep. Dan Goldman: It’s somewhat laughable for him to refer to all Democrats as corrupt when he’s taken over control of government contracts when he himself receives billions from them. But because he’s not an official government employee, he can evade the standard conflict of interest rules...

It’s good that more and more federal judges are issuing orders blocking illegal acts by the Trump administration. But each court victory brings us closer to the real crisis: will Trumpists yield to courts, or will they go full fascist and say they are not bound by the courts?

Dems should propose a law that immediately requires every fed agency to post on @bsky.app account, every outlay with a detailed description, $, and a link to existing gov sites with in depth details Rather than trying to keep Elon out, pre-empt him so he cant miss characterize spending.

All kidding aside, the reason he is doing this is to establish some kind of culpability by @profgalloway.com and I. We never threatened these people but it is all in service of getting his supporters to think we did. It’s not a random tweet — all planned for a larger effort to silence us or worse.

Schiff: Why is this firing of FBI agents such an important piece of this whole effort by Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and their enablers? Because .. if they're going to raid the treasury... They don't want an FBI that's going to examine anything they're doing.

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

One of my party facts is that according to polls, Americans believe foreign aid is about 25% of the federal budget and on average that it should be about 10%. The actual number is less than 1%. Foreign aid has long been a boogey man of the right, so it's not surprising they're vilifying it now.

Reminder once more that the President has ZERO authority to reallocate funds already appropriated by Congress for a particular purpose. And an unelected billionaire oligarch has even less than ZERO authority to hijack & reallocate funds. This is a coup. A hostile takeover. A Constitutional crisis.
