Rep. Suozzi: 26% of the federal workforce are veterans—26%. What about their service to this country? We encouraged them to apply for these jobs, and now we’re just taking away their livelihoods? It’s not just chaotic, it’s not just cruel—it’s unconstitutional.

Spanberger: I think the governor of Virginia has a primary job, and that is to stand up for Virginia and to stand up for Virginians. What is just unbelievable at this moment is that our governor and our lieutenant governor are doing neither.

Posting this from months ago because we DO have homegrown experience with autocratic regimes in this country. In nearly half this country during the first 6 decades of the 20th century Black people lived under systems of cruelty, voter suppression, hate, state violence & corruption. Ask them!

DEI is now a slur—BUT Trump’s war on DEI is backfiring hard. The cuts aren’t just hitting minorities or the libs—they’re slamming poor, white, Trump-voting towns. Federal money for their clean air & water—frozen. They voted to gut their own safety net, thinking it would hurt people like me more.

JD Vance has just used the phrase, "old ethnic rivalry" in characterizing the Russian war in Ukraine. This is explicitly Putinesque rhetoric. These men literally sound like Russian agents. They don't don't like the person being influenced. They sound like the person doing the influencing.
