Straight from “DEI favoritism” to Jim Crow and gender discrimination. This is clearing the decks of opposition and staffing the top ranks to ensure the U.S. Armed Forces are compliant in the MAGA coup. #resist. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

I heard someone compare Trump’s mass firings to him being a bull in a china shop. I disagree. Trump is a like a bull in a VA hospital. Trump is like a bull in an assisted living facility. Trump is like a bull in an Alzheimer’s research center. Trump is like a bull in a NICU.

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

Governor Mills doesn’t suffer fools lightly, and it appears she has even less tolerance for bullies. (And as a former attorney general, she knows what she’s talking about.)

Here’s the con: Trump is shining a spotlight on pennies coming in while drawing no attention at all to the hundreds going out. There’s no chance Trump will balance the federal budget, and it’s virtually certain that the national debt will only swell under Trump. finance.yahoo.com/news/newman-...

He tells us what he is doing. He's not "raising idea." He is running a TOTALITARIAN COUP. You say it "stokes alarm among critics." What about you, #BrokenPost? Where's your alarm? Trump again raises idea of running for an unconstitutional third term www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com: "Inspectors general are a headache for everyone. You know why? Because they're investigating every agency and they find stuff! Including waste and fraud and abuse! They wouldn't be firing them if they cared about waste, fraud, and abuse."

Holy shit! You’ve got to see this town hall. Republicans are starting to get torn apart by their own constituents. Rep. Rich McCormick: “You don’t think I’m going to stand up for you?” Woman in the crowd: “You need to stand up.” Another woman: “Don’t bend over.” 🔥

How many federal workers would DOGE need to fire to make up for Musk not paying his fair share of taxes? Answer: 677,000. That's 44% of the entire non-DoD federal workforce. Again, this power grab is not about the budget. It’s about politics.

#ProudBlue #BlueSkyResistance #DemocracyWarriors It’s going to require a Revolution to get our country back. Everyone needs to understand the seriousness of what is happening. It’s going to require more than just blackouts & short boycotts. We have to cut off funds to the Government & Oligarchs

NY law firm Sullivan & Cromwell is enthusiastically joining Donald Trump's effort to undermine the justice system. It’s sad to see a firm clients have long turned to for counsel on how to comply with the law rendering itself into an instrument for promoting lawlessness, I diacuss in PN.

Goddamnit, #BrokenPost, it's not "anti-woke." It's FASCISM. With this framing you only justify the FASCISTS' -- Putin's and Trump's -- propaganda. Putin raised the anti-woke banner long before it flew over Washington www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

The border czar wants the FBI to arrest AOC. A Fox News contributor is calling journalist Mehdi Hasan a terrorist. Elon Musk said everyone at 60 Minutes should go to prison. You all see how quickly we’re descending into madness, right? It’s not subtle, slow, or anything but a premeditated scheme.

He didn't say that. And if he did, he didn’t mean it. And if he did mean it, you didn’t understand. And if you did, it’s not a big deal. And if it is, others have said worse.

Elon Musk is Trump's unelected hatchman who is hijacking government agencies with no accountability whatsoever to the American people. Musk and his team have recently gained direct access to the U.S. Treasury system that processes payments, including Social Security and Medicare. 1/
