WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

Are there any Republican politicians with even 50% of John McCain’s character who will speak truth to power? If they’re all morally compromised, they ought to resign and let someone with courage take their seat. We need leaders willing to assert the legislative branch’s Article 1 powers.

DOGE is stealing taxpayer money to illegally upend thousands of lives. Musk claims it’s a govt agency when it comes to funding, but claims it only advises the president when it comes to oversight (public in dark). DOGE is an unaccountable bureaucracy joyfully destroying our govt. It must be stopped.

DOGE is chipping away at the 2M+ civil service workforce. Government workers should organize a sick out to show the public and the administration how much of our daily lives depends on a functional government. DOGE end goal is destruction of federal government. Use your power before you lose it🤷🏻‍♂️

FOTUS allying US foreign policy with Putin means we’re cozying up to the country that started the war against Ukraine. He’s allying America with rogue nations that don’t share our values. In fact, they actively work against our interests. My how far he’s dragged us down in 30 days🤷🏻‍♂️

Donald Trump has reportedly spent an estimated $10.7 million worth of taxpayer money to play golf since his inauguration. This is happening as Head Start programs have struggled to access previously approved federal funding due to the Trump admin's illegal impoundment. Hello?

A great clip about what Hochul would have to do to remove Adams. It’s a long road. To be clear, I think it’s a road she should travel. I personally think doing nothing is the wrong thing to do.

In the coming days, we’re going to find out whether Congressional Republicans support our constitution or Putin’s Orange Puppet. It’s time for every American to take a side: team America or Putin🤷🏻‍♂️ Sadly, we can predict the inevitable silence😔

Brave civil servants refusing to carry out unlawful orders gives me hope we’ll survive this lawless admin. Selfless acts by everyday Americans will get us through these turbulent times. There are more of us who believe in our constitution than those trying to destroy it. These Americans are heroes.

Article explains that nobody in the WH will explain Musk’s official role in DOGE. Those interns better buckle up because they’re likely to get thrown under the bus when DOGE litigation heats up. The admin will claim interns acted alone without WH knowledge and lacked authority to fire workers🤷🏻‍♂️

TLDR Now is the time for people of good conscience to resist the authoritarian creep Trump/Musk are spreading. As with any human endeavor, we make mistakes, but we get up and try to learn from them. America is only worth saving if Americans get up and fight to save it.
