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.

If the GOP insists on rolling the clock back to the past, then why can’t they at least roll it back to a past where I could buy a monkey out of an ad in a comic book for $18.95???

The secret republican kryptonite is to stop referring to THEM by their own preferred cis pronouns. “How can I help you, ma’am?” “You claim you’re a man? Really? I’m sorry, but I don’t respect preferred pronouns, lady.”

If you don’t want to be called a bigot, then maybe you should start adopting policies that support women, people of color, LGBTQIA+, indigenous, and other disadvantaged people instead of punching down at every opportunity. No one would call you a bigot after that.

So many conservatives have told me that they want the 1950s back because that’s when the world made sense to them, but they want the 1950s they’ve seen in movies and TV. The real version was more like…

The “deep state” was never lobbies and career politicians. It was always those who gave the people access to government and who made government accountability to the people. Eight years ago, they had no idea how to dismantle it. This time, it’s their first target.

If you have a GOP congressperson/senator, call and tell them you voted for them (they can’t check.) Say nobody voted for this Elon Musk guy to run the country. If they won’t stop him, you and the base will vote for someone else next time. Call every day. Messages like that will matter to them.

The USPS was chartered in the Constitution as a public good, not a money making entity. The sheer, greedy, destructive stupidity of these people is beyond measure.

Republicans held 2009-2001 Congress hostage when Democrats had an 18 seat advantage in the Senate and a 78 seat advantage in Congress. Now Dems refuse to attack razor thin GOP margins. Their leadership has no idea how to do anything but show fealty to Republican extremism.

If you want Russia out of Ukraine return to the 2016 sanctions that shrunk the Russian economy to less than Spain’s. But I’m sure giving Russia whatever it wants while alienating our allies, and keeping Ukraine out of both NATO and peace talks will work out fine…

How do the rich avoid personal taxes? It’s simple: Let’s say Bill Gates earns $100/year in salary. He has this paid directly into a trust (so it’s not taxed until he removes it.) At the start of Year 1, he borrows $100 against the trust at 1% interest. Now he has $100, tax-free to spend. 1/

By dropping the prosecution of Eric Adams, but not pardoning him, trump has made the mayor a wing of the White House. The prosecutions CAN come back. This is extortion and would be treated as a violation of separation of powers and the principals of federalism if done by any other administration.

Why does the world's richest man want to gut the CFPB? Because it would shield him from having to follow financial laws to keep customers' money safe — and give him access to confidential records about his competitors. Follow the money.

“Why are people so hesitant to protest this time?” Maybe it’s because Republican governors have made it clear they’ll pardon anyone who murders protestors?

I pointed out something similar a few weeks ago, but beyond just mocking the media for their stupid complicity here, these articles should be a direct refutation of the admin's claims that "The American People Voted For This." Because they literally promised they weren't going to do this.

Musk had zero security clearances to access the confidential data at USAID. With no authority, he has collected the most sensitive data of every American for no clear purpose. GOP will not hold him to account, and Dems seems allergic to consequences for the powerful. This is supervillain shit.
