Dark Pence is back.

Folks, I can’t stress this enough: Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit!

“Congress wants to cut government but not their own budgets. Elon Musk's 'Dept. of Government Efficiency' wants to slash spending—except on his own gov-funded ventures. If they’re serious about cuts, they should start with their own staff and perks. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/elon-musks...

Yep, DOGE is as incompetent as everyone thought. An $8 million "saving" has been listed as an $8 BILLION saving. That is 14.5% of their total claimed $55 billion in "savings" having been completely made up.

When my class was elected in 2010, we cut congress’ own budget and our personal ones by about 10 percent. This one should cut theirs by about 20, and each office should lay off a couple employees. Same DOGE is requiring. Make every @gop answer

Whatever else emerges in time about the Delta crash in Canada, one thing is certain: the importance & amazing professionalism of flight attendants who safely evacuated the plane in a matter of seconds.

Emergency Video: will Congress do to itself what they are demanding of other departments? Cut congress’ budget and shrink THEIR staff now!

An hourly reminder that DOGE is not about Elon Musk cutting government money waste, it is about wasting more government money on Elon Musk. Here is Elon cutting NASA, a government agency that his private company competes with for federal funding. They aren't even bothering to hide the corruption.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

Here is the oath all executive branch employees take. It is to support and defend the Constitution, not to “implement the president’s agenda.” If the two purposes diverge, the Constitution prevails.

Worth a listen

They’re fighting as best they can. Look at that last one.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

1000 probationary Department of Veterans Affairs employees fired. OIT, Procurement, and Veterans Benefits Administration. They are lying and saying it won’t affect support for veterans. news.va.gov/press-room/v...

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

Danielle R. Sassoon, Manhattan’s acting U.S. attorney, resigned on Thursday rather than obey a Justice Department order that she drop a corruption case against New York City’s mayor, Eric Adams, that she had championed, according to three people with knowledge of the matter.

The acting U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Danielle Sassoon has resigned after being told to drop charges against Mayor Eric Adams. These are the heroes we MUST acknowledge, applaud, and encourage....so more will engage in these same acts of bravery and integrity.

Please repost this as much as you can. Let’s tell Amazon no more!

What can you do? Don’t give up hope. Dictators feed off your hopelessness. Don’t quit. Dictators want you to give up. Punch back. Dictators are bullies, and bullies are cowards. Stay tethered to the truth. Dictators need you to believe their lies. Resist. Stand with others.

We’ve been BEGGING Senate Democrats to take action And now-here they are Using every tool they’ve got To stop anti vaccine maniac RFK Jr from being confirmed to run the Department of Health and Human Services Now-it’s OUR turn CALL YOUR SENATORS Tell them DO NOT CONFIRM RFK, JR 202-224-3121

THERE WERE EGGS UNDER BIDEN!!!

The owner of AZ Painting Pros LLC here in Arizona. Sure would be a shame if his clients found out what a violent bigot he is...

So, is the media now prioritizing reports of plane crashes, or is the number of crashes increasing? Some crashes are happening on the ground - is that out of the purview of air traffic controllers?

NEW: In a lawsuit filed by a coalition of Democratic attorneys general, another federal judge blocked DOGE from accessing the Treasury Department’s payment systems, which contain sensitive information on millions of Americans receiving federal funds and benefits.

There’s no reason why Elon Musk should have access to the personal data of private U.S. citizens. The Taxpayer Data Protection Act will limit access to this important data to people with specific experiences, security clearances, and other qualifications. norcross.house.gov/2025/2/rep-n...

The ASL version of “Not Like Us” is magnificent.

Listen to Secretary Pete. And remember, these are our funds. These are our courts. And these are our streets.

This energy.

Yes, there will be retribution. But there are things we all must do starting immediately. "It is incumbent on the media, civil society groups, judges and individual citizens to adopt a presumption of skepticism when it is told that a political opponent of Trump is under an ethical or legal cloud."

There’s a false narrative out there that as president, Trump can do whatever he wants with the executive branch. False! Congress has passed laws creating agencies, appropriating funds, and crafting procedures. Constitution requires President to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.”

🚨BREAKING: In a trio of rulings, North Carolina state court REJECTS Republican effort to overturn the results of the 2024 state Supreme Court election by throwing out 60,000 lawful ballots. A big victory for voting rights and democracy! www.democracydocket.com/cases/north-...

#USA: "We urge the US government to immediately resume funding of critical humanitarian and health aid, either through rescinding relevant orders freezing funding or expanding the current narrow humanitarian waiver to cover all necessary health and humanitarian programs." - @avrilbenoit.bsky.social
