The Pentagon will fire 5,400 civilian workers next week.

One month+ on #bluesky after dumping everything #X, #META and #google and I have to say I’m impressed with the people and the platform. I’m grateful to all who have smashed the follow back button and joined on this #journey of #activism, #photography, #guitar playing and #philosophizing.

Good morning Bluesky! Two of my angels, one here and one watching over me from over the rainbow! 🌈💕😻❤️

Fun fact: Today is my 666th day on Bluesky. I've been having a devilishly good time since I've been here. To celebrate this sinister accomplishment, I have made a donation to Americans United for Separation of Church and State. Here's to the next 666 days! www.au.org

It was always Rand Paul’s destiny to be the last man to board the political Titanic and the first one to shove a woman out of the way to take the last seat on a lifeboat.

When the wreckage and dust of what these people are doing to our country has settled and the people have finally had enough to throw these jackals out of office, we will never forget the people who enabled it, despite their protestations they weren’t willing accomplices. Never.

Let me help those who just get mad and post. It will take years and possibly decades to build infrastructure anywhere in Ukraine to be able to mine these minerals. Then, the biggest refiner is China. It will take a decade for the first $ If Zelensky gets what he wants, who benefits the most ?

There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.

Get Ready For Delayed Tax Refunds, Long Hold Times After Mass IRS Firings But wealthy tax evaders will enjoy “a feast” as the strained federal agency lacks the resources to hold them accountable, said one tax policy expert.

I'm starting to think that the Russia thing wasn't a hoax.

Remember when America had friends? Like a month ago?

Thank you to Senate Democrats for unifying in opposition to Republicans’ scheme to punish working families. Democrats played procedural hardball and spent hours on the floor debating overnight, filing close to 100 amendments and forcing votes on 23 of them.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

It's like being in the passenger seat of a car sliding on black ice toward a bridge abutment, while the driver snorts another bump of ketamine and the people in the back won't stop singing "Deutschland über alles."

This will affect people on Medicaid, but also many others like people who rely on community health centers. Don’t cut my Medicaid

This is really something

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Well done, MAGA. You have no character, no conviction, and your legacy will be the betrayal of all the sacrifices past generations made to protect the Free World. You are a disgrace, and will be remembered for who you are… Forever.

Here's video of Steve Bannon doing a Sieg Heil today at CPAC. It is what it is and it's what Bannon intended. Don't let yourself be gaslit.

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?
