The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

I’m shocked by how many Democrats and Independents don’t understand how our government works. Republicans control everything. Go to THEIR pages and tell them to do something in all caps. If you sat the election out it’s your fault we are in this mess in the first place.

Here it is in a nutshell: 1. Trump is an authoritarian. 2. With the GOP controlling Congress, courts are key to protecting democracy. 3. So far, courts are doing a good job on #2. 4. GOP will next attack election rules like they did in 2021. Don't let the cynics convince you not to fight. FIGHT!

I think “Daddy” is confusing presidential total immunity with total authority. And the GOP is cheering him along, all the while knowing what he’s doing is illegal.

I don’t understand how we can put an autonomous robot on Mars that explored the planet successfully for almost 15 years but we can’t make a dryer that doesn’t tightly roll blankets so they don’t dry completely.

trumpgolftrack.com People are probably making bets about what percentage of his time in office is spent golfing. It’s at 14% now. I’m guessing it gets up to at least 20% pretty quick.

All of the people who admit that Trump campaigned as a fascist but denied he would govern as one. Pardoning 1500 criminals, some incredibly violent, some convicted of Sedition, some part of White Supremacist groups, is a fascist move. On day one he has governed as a fascist.
