For the first weeks, Americans seemed frozen, expecting institutions to do something. Americans were used to “checks and balances” and “guardrails” working. That didn’t happen. People realized that they had to take matters into their own hands… open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

This micro aggression IS psychological warfare and force people to resign. Trump and Musk need to explain to the American public how much time and money they have wasted on EO/DOGE non-core work related items just indulged the whims of self indulged, wannabe dictator!

Trump is once again trying to play king — this time threatening to revoke home rule and self-determination for 700,000 D.C. residents. This is why #DCStatehood is so vital and why I will never stop fighting for it and for the rights of Maryland’s neighbors in D.C.

Dear @cnn.com, The judge did not “vacate” the trial. He adjourned it. Then he appointed an amicus curiae to argue against dismissing the charges. Who writes your headlines?

Secretary Turner wants to cancel HUD programs that serve seniors and people with disabilities. Harming seniors and vulnerable Americans does not make our government more efficient. Senator Warren, Senator Smith, and I are holding this Administration accountable.

Crazy how people keep yelling, "Federal employees go back to work" when they never stopped working! Guess they forgot that while we were all in a pandemic these faithful servants were working and sending out checks? Many logged on to pay parents of others the same week they buried their own parents.

84% HUD staff cuts will cause irreversible harm to towns still recovering & trying to rebuild from recent disasters. Trump is giving tax breaks to his rich friends over ensuring HUD can deliver resources to you. Hear 👏🏾 Me 👏🏾 Clearly 👏🏾 He doesn't care about you!

Why can't we just tell him he is President of the United Planets and blast him, Elon, and Maga into space where they want to be? That way they can have purest one-race society ever. I assure you I won't follow them. I only want to be in Heaven or on earth. Space is NOT where I want to be.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

HOLD UP. Did Trump just say he will put tariffs on medications? Americans already pay more for prescription medications than anywhere in the world - and he wants us to pay EVEN MORE? Americans want cheaper drug prices. Trump is giving us higher taxes instead.
