When did firing park rangers, scientists, and air traffic controllers become a better idea than simply taxing billionaires?

An estimated 6.3% of the Alaska workforce are federal civil servants. That doesn't come close to the number of federal contractors and organizations who rely on federal funding in this state. apnews.com/article/doge...

Never forget this day, February 28, 2025, when an American president abused and betrayed a democratic ally in the midst of a barbaric war with Russia. This grotesque stain will never wash away.

Fraud, waste, and abuse just means resources going to people they don't like. That's it.

This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick.

Hello friends. I know times are dark but it is incredibly important not to lose hope. And, this week there are signs of hope and it paramount we recognize that hope, not let up and build. A thread on this if I may. You may appreciate this on a Friday. Come along with me. 🧵 (1/10)

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

At this point, Zelenskyy should not participate in any peace talks which involve the Trump administration He should demand that Europe lead the way-and guarantee Ukraine’s safety if a deal can be reached Clearly, the US is spouting Putin’s talking points and cannot be trusted to negotiate honestly

Now that musk is saying he’s doing the DOGE stuff “because the globalists have plotted a Great Replacement in which they use government handouts to buy votes from illegal immigrants and urban blacks” maybe we don’t have to act like this is about deficits or cost cutting anymore

Article 1, Section 1 of the Constitution: "All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States." The claim that the Founders vested all power in the executive is a reality inverting, piss-on-my-leg-and-tell-me-it's-raining lie. That's what they rebelled against.

i am going to put a finer point on this: executive orders are not laws. and they certainly are not royal decrees. they are interpretations of existing law for the purposes of enforcement. the fact that so many people are treating them as laws is actually driving me a bit insane.

The reason there are a lot of court orders telling Trump he can't do things is because he's been doing a crazy huge amount of illegal shit in his first three weeks in office. This isn't rocket science. It's basic physics - action and reaction.

One way to think about the DOGE effort is it's an outgrowth of 20 years of hardliner conservatives frustrated by their inability to get the votes in Congress to do what they want to do. 1/

I do not know a single person in DC who has not been directly negatively impacted by the "sudden disassembly in flight" of the U.S. government. In most cases the impact is major and professional and pyschological as well as economical. You might shrug it off and say, "It's about time."

Musk and his team of dodgy 18-year-olds went into sensitive government networks, hooked up their own storage systems, and downloaded the personal information of every American. 1/

I wrote about Musk and this bureaucratic coup as plainly as I could. There's reporting in here & the particulars are overwhelming but what's happening is so clear: He's not trying to run the federal govt like a software company He's trying to turn it into a political weapon. (gift link)

The federal government regularly spends money to encourage behavior it couldn’t compel directly. Like paying states to build roads or fund healthcare for those who can’t afford it. It’s called the Spending Clause—and it’s the very first enumerated power that the Constitution gives to Congress. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive): 1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment* 2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything 3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can 4. Citizens march en mass

I do not recall a 24 hour or one week news cycle with more disturbing news about the state of the presidency and the US government in it than those of today and the past seven days. January 6 was nothing compared to this. But make no mistake, this too is the gov't being torn apart by a mob of thugs.

Just know my fellow Americans, those who claim they voted for “their money,” and to “get immigration under control,” that you voted to subject your fellow Americans to enduring this kind of daily insult from a megaphone. You voted for this assault on the dignity of our people & our children.

I actually wish the media would stop using "DEI" and "diversity hiring" and just get to the essence of the thing and ask: "Are you saying that this crash was caused by desegregating the races?" And see what happens.

not sure if these are in every Costco, but the one here has these kids coats in 3 different colors for $4.97 each! I couldn’t afford to buy them all, but I was able to get 4 for just $20. I work with orgs and schools that work with kids who still need coats this winter, so I grabbed them to donate.
