Well, well, well, all you Tesla drivers should feel really safe now that the folks protecting you from defective cars (and there a lot of defective Teslas) are now gone.

Folks, this is how he tries to complete his coup, by appointing lackeys to run the military and by removing the legal advisors/advice that would obligate them to not coup for him.

Now let’s play “Will They Comply?” Marc et al are doing amazing work. If this admin continues to defy courts, no amount of Marc’s effort or courts’ rulings can stop the fascist runaway train. Only Congress can by impeaching and the Senate by convicting + removing. Can they find any courage?

VACCINES SAVE LIVES Vaccines ended the COVID-19 pandemic. Vaccines and other public health measures save the lives of millions of children worldwide. Do not let RFKJr and the Trump admin take us back to a time when 5 in 10 children died before the age of 5. theconversation.com/infectious-d...

Seems odd it doesn’t occur to him that both sides in armed conflict make threats and use force. And if that’s what makes you win, how could they both win in a negative-sum interaction? This is Duplo-level logic and he fails miserably. Are we positive he didn’t eat paint chips as a kid?

Musk took over the US government with graft and is using it—in combination with his space launch firm—to exploit an allied country that’s suffering under Russian invasion for its mineral rights. The scheme is so imperiously evil I feel like audiences wouldn’t find it believable in a Bond villain.

Say what you want about the wisdom of discretionary selective hiring preference practices. Selective firing practices are explicitly proscribed by law. IOW, you don’t have to hire somebody because of their race, gender, etc. but you sure as shit can’t fire them for it. That’s what this is.

Good. But also, the courts can’t catch up unless they stop this whole thing dead in its tracks, and how would they do that and when would that happen? Congress has to impose its will, by removing the bastard if necessary (it’s totally necessary).

This is entirely within the control of the House/Senate R majorities. Congress could get up on its hind legs and defund White House ketchup etc. at any time to enforce its own authority, and the 34-time convicted felon we’ve put in charge of faithfully executing the laws couldn’t do shit about it.

Misleading headlines for $1000 Alex. What is correct: we have been given authority to hire temporary employees. What is misleading: the terminated permanent employees have NOT been reinstated. We also have lost employees due to the Fork. To be clear— still a significant net loss of employees.

Moral of the story: when you remove the government's ability to provide services for the people, you get overrun by bears. Sometimes the bears are metaphorical... sometimes, not so much.

You mean why don’t Dems ratify these completely illegal actions? This is the trap they’re trying to walk us into. Instead, shut it down until he hires them all back w pay, don’t sell them and all the rest of America out. Don’t legitimize the crimes. Medicaid is already available ‘til he kills it too

Remember when Thomas joined the majority in overturning the line item veto bc it was intolerable for a president to encroach on the authority of the legislature to dictate spending? What sort of bullshit is he going to think up now to justify Trump deleting entire agencies all by himself?

Excellent. This is what we need. Now, when they pretend it’s all organic or coincidence or providence or mandate, we can point back to the playbook they disavowed before they won and implemented all the unpopular and horrible ideas.

Imagine posturing your religious moralsso hard that you would choose the worst people on Earth as president because you think it would make the world a better place, and then you sit there with a straight face and watch this guy defund telehealth for Medicaid seniors for the sake of "efficiency."

In a clear case of karma, the very Red State of Utah may face a huge economic impact due to termination of 100 IRS employees so far— and a projected 1000 by May. Never mind all the other agencies. Guess what? Republican Lawmakers are silent. Silence is consent? Feeling betrayed yet?

This isn’t law enforcement, it’s a posse. An ad hoc ragtag group of way-too-enthusiastic prairie justice types who will engage in unnecessary and illegal violence with the blessing of our president. This isn’t law and order, it’s violence and chaos. It’s provocation, sabotage. Feature, not bug.
