This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

Get arrested preventing DOGE goons from entering public buildings, get arrested going into public buildings to find out what DOGE goons are doing, get arrested on the floor during confirmation votes to protest the rubber stamping of unqualified candidates

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

this corruption has to stop.

seems like it is a big deal that the unifying ideology of the doge team is neo nazism

Here’s a Republican who seems to recognize the current crisis better than almost every prominent Democrat.

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

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)

Termination notices going out this afternoon to more than 300 employees of the National Cancer Institute. Access likely ends today. Four weeks paid leave and that’s it. Strong power move for Team Cancer.

This is insane. Eric Adams is on Fox and Friends as Homan’s pet dog, and Holman is openly discussing “the agreement we came to,” and NO DEM ANYWHERE IS SAYING ANYTHING

Republicans are entirely at fault. It would've been better had none of them won their elections. But that doesn't excuse Democrats from failing to use the same parliamentary maneuvers Republicans have used for decades to hinder Democratic majorities. If we have to shame them into it, so be it.

you don't have to call it the gulf of america. just don't do it. keep calling it the gulf of mexico. you don't have to do things just because your fascist government tells you to

It's nuts. Certainly possible that for many people (who suck), it's just cover to do what they already wanted. Like the VA HS sports League using it as an excuse to fuck over trans kids.

framers couldn't account for the speaker of the house being a pathetic toady

Elon Musk is calling for the CFPB's remaining account balance of $711,586,678 to be returned to the American taxpayers. That you give everyone $2-$3. But returning Elon Musk’s money to taxpayers would give everyone about $1,300 each.

@wyden.senate.gov: “I’m convinced this ‘read only’ matter is just a blatant lie. Later reporting showed the Musk henchmen were going in there to cut off payments they didn’t like… people need to know, these are the elements of a coup.”

Normal U.S. Attorneys do not write like this. This is servile and buffoonish, light-years outside how federal prosecutors normally act. Ed Martin has gone Full Renfield. He’s a confessed lackey with vast federal prosecutorial power.

Musk et al are either trying or have already succeeded at seizing control of the financial plumbing that holds together the administrative state of the US. The "state" in this sense is the network of continuous, bedrock financial transactions that bind together various levels of governance.

NEW: Archived tweets for Gavin Kriger, Musk's 20-something DOGE employee wreaking havoc inside USAID, shows that Kriger has retweeted multiple neo-Nazis including Nick Fuentes, leader of the so-called Groyper movement, and another popular explicit Nazi account recently unmasked by @travisbrown.dev

No more business as usual. Donald Trump and Elon Musk are imposing pain on millions of people. Tonight, we’re taking this fight to the Senate floor. Russ Vought - author of Project 2025 - is up for a vote, and Democrats are using every second to throw a wrench in their plan.

how is it that a bunch of children can walk undeterred into every govt building and start ripping out wires while Congress is refused entry

Hey you useless chucklefuck. How about at least not voting for any more trump people? Jesus fuck you're awful

i don’t even know if crime is the right word for the illegal destruction of USAID. it is an autocratic power grab and a direct attack on the sovereignty of the american people

Rep. LaMonica McIver: "We are at war!"

What the actual fuck are you doing? Worthless spineless crap.
