DO IT

Yes, millions of people will suffer but at least it's for a good cause: because one old asshole wanted to avoid going to jail for crimes he committed

Maybe dem reps could hold their own state of the union on the Capitol steps. Steal the spotlight. Let members like AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Max Frost, and the DNC make remarks. Norms don't exist. Buck them.

What should the Dems do during Trump’s SOTU speech? 1. Give ALL their seats to fired federal workers- on the floor and in the gallery. 2. Have each worker carry a carefully folded sign. 3. When the Trump gives his speech, have each worker unfold and display their sign.

He didn't wear a suit, but he received a pardon and was treated better than Zelenskyy was.

Musk and DOGE just shitcanned the 18F open source development team whose job is to make government more efficient. Because 🤪. This was never about efficiency.

Can confirm. Former USAID here, and I’ve been approached twice in the last 30 days.

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people: 18f.org

NOTE: The opponents of DEI are purging anyone who is not a white man from military leadership This is not about merit; it’s about normalizing racism and misogyny

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Don't ever let them tell you they care about vets.

HERO 🇺🇦

Ending the night with this. *Get your hankies* A D-Day veteran called a gracious and humbled Zelenskyy a hero.

Zelensky found out what it was like to be a US governor in a blue state asking Trump for medical supplies during the pandemic. Or disaster relief after a wildfire or storm. It’s not his money, but he fully expects you to beg and plead for it and tell him how wonderful he is.

american masculinity is so amazing. caring about clothes as a man apparently makes you "gay" but our position on geopolitics totally depends on whether you wear a suit

[email protected] email just dropped. Son of a… For every response that makes me laugh tonight I will take a drink! Go!

It’s been a long day, but in short, bullies ain’t shit! I don’t care what title you hold! This isn’t some long gone reality tv show or failed casino; it is war! How dare a draft dodging dumb dupe humiliate an ally & berate a brave man who has actually been on a battlefield for his people?!

Well this is a scary thread about what one of Elon's DOGE boys is up to. threadreaderapp.com/thread/18956...

"We’re witnessing the self-sabotage of the United States" from @davidfrum.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

We're sorry to the leaders of the world, who instead of being met by level-headed, measured, intelligent dialogue, are now greeted with the incoherent rantings of a perpetually-furious man-child. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/dear-world...

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

🚨🚨 Nannette Griffin is a small business owner and community leader who’s running in a March special election to flip an Iowa House seat blue. If elected, she’ll fight for small businesses, work to expand education access and support workers’ rights.

It isn’t about proximity—it’s about presence. Know the difference.

So likely the world’s first Trillionaire Elon, who received $36 Billion in govt subsidies and contracts to generate his wealth, is telling the people who built this country what they can live without, as he giggles with his chain saw. Something ain’t right

The economic black out is tomorrow. I'm participating.

Veterans deserve transparency, yet their elected representatives are being stonewalled. This is not just a failure of leadership – it is a betrayal of America's veterans. And RM @repmarktakano.bsky.social & @housedemocrats.bsky.social are demanding answers.

DC-based USAID employees just received an email telling them to collect their belongings from the old HQ later this week. They will only have 15 minutes to do so, according to an email viewed by WIRED. (Even those that have not received a RIF notice.)

FEDS!!! So they are going to use a RIF program to mass fire us. www.wired.com/story/doge-a...

Let’s go www.yahoo.com/news/no-amaz...

Once again they screw veterans first. — Veteran-owned small firms hit first by VA's push for $2B in contract cuts. Service-disabled veteran entrepreneurs bear 89% of the claimed savings. Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins claims this is just step one. washingtontechnology.com/contracts/20...

Today Congressman Mark Pocan TOOK THE GLOVES OFF. “Donald Trump is full of shit…and he needs to get the fuck out of Mar-a-Lago and talk to real people. “Elon Musk is a grifter. He makes Donald Trump look like elementary school level grifter. This guy has a PHD in theft from the American people.”

What she said.

This is the way.
