Dems have a slam dunk opportunity here. No votes until this insanity stops. And then they can get out into the community everywhere and raise money, make meals, show up at a food bank and show support for feds not being paid. Easiest PR win ever.

This is a super helpful thread on arguments on OPM authority to direct termination of probationary employees. Spoiler alert: OPM has zero authority.

We have daily examples of the desperate need for campaign finance reform.

People are like "why are we so polarized" and my friends it is because Republicans can do nothing but lie about reality. All these people who want "debate" and "discourse" and "hear all sides." You can't do that when one side rejects reality.

It feels like when he backed off the Canada and Mexico tariffs, some of the Wall Street types were like, ok, this guy is just bluffing when he says he's going to crash the economy. But now we're in undeniable depression territory.

Let’s do electoral reform while we’re at it. Abolish the electoral college. DC and Puerto Rico statehood. Expand the size of the House and get FAIR maps. Term limits in the Senate.

We've never had "liberty and justice for all" in this country, but if we ever want to start trying to make that true again, it's going to have to start with bringing Trump, Musk, and congressional Republicans to JUSTICE for what they have done. That's the part we fucked up during Reconstruction.

It's not like we needed more proof that billionaires are not and never will be a benevolent good to society, but Bezos and Musk are proving are demonstrating daily that they do active harm to all the rest of us.
