I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

President Trump is firing American workers who monitor bird flu outbreaks, safeguard nuclear facilities, and now those who promote American history in Dorchester – all to help pay for tax breaks for billionaires and giant corporations.

How much is Congress cutting from their $6.5 billion/year budget? Don’t you think congress can operate on say, maybe, $5 Billion? And each congressman has 18 staff, they could operate on say, 14? What about the White House?

Republican senators like Susan Collins and Bill Cassidy were deeply, sincerely, extremely concerned about some of Trump's nominees. So very, very concerned. Just not enough to vote against them. That's what "independence" looks like in Trump's GOP. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Need more $ for tax cuts for billionaires? Cut funding for cancer research. Need a few extra bucks for a corporate cash grab? Cut Special Education. Donald Trump and Elon Musk's last few weeks aren't hard to understand. Just follow the money.

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

Big national media outlet still failing. Headlines suggest some dispute over data access at US AID. Not connecting the dots with other DOGE moves. Not conveying illegality. *Not communicating constitutional crisis.

If you are a leader who previously boasted about your pro-democracy positions, you have a greater obligation. If you feel obliged to obey Trump, spare us your justifications. Just tell us you are too scared to fight. If you feel the need to bow down, let someone with more courage take your spot.

How Elon Musk can gain access to the payment systems of the American government confounds me. Are there no laws or restrictions that would deny a private citizen from doing this? I’d love to hear from government employees or experts on this.

Tonight Donald Trump fired dozens of prosecutors at the DC U.S. Attorney's office and agents at the FBI. Another Friday Night Massacre, as the President removes those loyal to the constitution. And installs those loyal to him.

Rescinding the cap on insulin at $35 only makes pharmaceutical richer and everyday Americans, including MAGA voters, seriously poorer. So why does Trump do it? Because all he wants is to destroy anything Biden achieved, no matter how much damage it causes. That what sociopathy looks like.
