Got it. Any noteworthy black person Is celebrated "because of their race." Any noteworthy white person is celebrated on their merits. That's their logic.

I am really outdone. The Maryland National Guard cannot celebrate Frederick Douglass, the state’s native son and perhaps the greatest American this nation ever produced, because he’s Black and his chosen birthday happened to fall during Black History Month. (Ask me why he had to choose is b-day)

Trump border czar Tom Homan on Eric Adams: “If he doesn’t come through, I’ll be back in New York City. And we won’t be sitting on a couch. I’ll be in his office, up his butt, saying where the hell is the agreement we came to.” Sure sounds like a quid pro quo.

The GOP budget is out. Republicans recently promised to love and cherish Medicaid. Their actual plan is to destroy it.

The Republican budget cuts taxes for their billionaire donors, while cutting off Medicaid from older Americans in Nursing Homes. Every single Budget Committee Democrat voted against it. And now the battle moves to the House Floor.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Even worse incompetence: they accidentally fired, then apparently today un-fired, hundreds of the people who manage America's nuclear weapons.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

I saw that meme again which claims presidents and congresspeople get their same "term" salaries for life. While it doesn't change the sentiment of the meme, nor the inequities we see all around us, it's just not true. www.reuters.com/article/worl...

"The relationship between faith communities and some Republicans appears more transactional than it has in the past." “This is just a complete reversal” of the Bush-era goal of bringing faith groups into public works. These actions are “a total abandonment of faith-based groups."

USAID.gov is down. Why is this concerning? Trump has no legal authority to eliminate a congressionally funded independent agency. The work of USAID is vital, and if this can happen to them, it can happen to any of us.

At OPM, Musk’s staffers won’t leave—they work around the clock and have even installed sofa beds in the office. Our access to data systems has been restricted, raising serious concerns about cybersecurity and a complete lack of oversight. We are keeping our heads down and documenting everything.

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with us—we are fighting to defend this country!

This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Democrats in Congress can bring up resolutions to send a criminal referral to Justice for Musk’s crime spree. It won’t succeed but we need to keep getting them on the record defending lawlessness while we defend our democracy and rule of law.

Vought is not interested in “normal” democratic politics: He wants to “traumatize” the “woke” bureaucrats; he wants to use the military to suppress protests; and he is devoted to Donald Trump who Vought sees as an agent of God’s will. There is no line he doesn’t feel justified to cross.

The Trump administration’s rebranded Schedule F policy aims to reclassify federal employees in policy roles as at-will, removing civil service protections. This will politicize agencies by allowing dismissals based on political alignment.
