The one thing that I’ll say about the Trump administration, to their perverse credit, is that by letting Blagojevich and Adams go on the same day they’re showing that their commitment to being pro-corruption in all forms is bipartisan

What are the best sources to understand how the new administration and the US is being perceived?

In terms of how empires fall stories turning the whole thing over to a ketamine addled tech baron and a band of incel teens is probably one of the most pathetic options

I believe it was Hannah Arendt who wrote that totalitarians will end unemployment benefits to prove their lying claims that unemployment has ceased to exist

Just because it is in plain sight does not mean it is not what it is: A hostile takeover of the U.S. government by an unelected and unfettered power monger. Believe what you see, do not see what you believe.

This week, China found out the price for being an undermining foe is 10%. And Canada found out that the price for being a helpful friend, who helped with California's wild fires, is 15% more. Thank you, totally incompetent Donald Trump.

Make no mistake this is a coup in progress - do not look away and take action.

My reply to those that wish to apologize for the tarrifs against Canada & Mexico; Two. Yes, TWO elections, with bright, accomplished women to vote for... against the dim-witted felon. Failure. Sorry won't cut it anymore!

I know there are some tech savvy journalists following me, let me know if you're interested in the security outcomes of random computers being plugged into federal government department networks and I'll try to get you in touch with someone with explicit expertise who can tell you how bad it is

I watched part of that crazy news conference today. Trump blaming DEI. I don’t know if his cuts in the last week have any impact either. Can we just start rationally analyzing the root causes of this tragedy and fix them? Please and thank you!

🧵1. #BlueskyResistance #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue HE IS BLAMING…Biden, Obama, and DEI hires, for the tragic mid-air collision in DC last night. A crash from which, no one walked away. This man is an embarrassment to us all. Even the ones who voted for him, though they don’t realize it. …

I know it's only been 10 days but I long for the days where the president does not shift blame and frankly would like to hear from the experts...I had Covid news conference flashbacks.

We say that people don't notice constitutional regime collapse because it comes on too slowly but I'm not sure how much faster it could be happening; we are literally at concentration camps on day 9.

Had a PCP visit last Friday. The pre visit survey asks if I've experienced anxiety is the last week- OMG is this a trick question?

It's all well and good that the administration is pulling back on some of the more absurd stuff and unfortunately in the celebration we lose track of so many things that were not reversed. Important to remember this is intentional. Stay focused.

I never liked governing by executive order, so many reasons it is not good Goverment but the hypocrisy….is over the top right now.

When are folks going to come to their senses in Congress and actually have the courage to impeach this guy for his overreach? Can it happen soon?

Yesterday they renamed it the Gulf of America. Today it's snowing on the Gulf Coast. I'm not saying I did it... but I'm also not saying I didn't.

Congress should be doing this and get the president of either party out of the EO business.

Just got off a cruise with my family. I am shocked at the amount of rage I feel internally every time I see someone decked out in an outrageous amount of MAGA gear. I pray I can contain my rage for 4 years. Time to buckle up folks it's about to get real.

It occurs to me, at this point in my life, that I will likely never know if Democracy survives. At 62 I wonder how long it would take for the USA to reclaim the values I grew up with, and walk away from whatever THIS is. Will I be alive to see it? Will we do it? #BirthdayThoughts

It’s weird to think that Elon Musk will end up having paid far less for the United States Government than he did for Twitter

This makes me feel slightly better. Will the Senate do their job or acquiesce to Trump? Patel is not qualified for this role
