WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

Today's front page of The New York Post.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

EXCLUSIVE: A federal worker at the EPA sent an incredible email to Administrator Lee Zeldin. He's refused to stay silent, and has asked me to share the email - and his name - with the public. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

They’re going to try and prosecute their political enemies

“put it on his fucking gravestone”

Trump’s current approval rating is 15 points lower than the historical average of all the other elected Presidents at this point in their 1st terms since 1953. The Gallup poll also shows that a majority of Americans disapprove of his handling of the economy. apple.news/A3uDVYQgUSBu...

Rachel Maddow reported the most recent Quinnipiac poll results last night. (See slides below) Trump does NOT have a mandate to: cut programs Congress has funded, destroy our relationships with our NATO allies & Ukraine, declare himself King, or cozy up w/ a dictator who has committed war crimes.

We officially have our own KGB

Arresting someone for calling you fascist seems an excellent approach to proving their point.

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

Does Congress even remember that it has the power of the purse? www.law.cornell.edu/constitution...

The CDC has an ultra-competitive 2-year program to train "the best of the best" to lead public health labs. Most of the current class were terminated over the weekend. www.science.org/content/arti... (by @meredithwadman.bsky.social)

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?

This is the most cowardly administration in history.

Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He goes on to ask if we suffered childhood trauma and concludes by suggesting we are suffering from “generational trauma.” This is my response. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

Trump can fuck all the way off. He doesn’t get to rewrite history. “Take these seeds and put them in your pockets, so at least sunflowers [Ukrainian national flower] will grow when you all lie down here.” — Ukrainian Woman to Russian soldiers. Russia invaded Ukraine, February 24, 2022.

He should be our messenger.

Wife was a probationary employee let go over the weekend. She was a researcher with CMMI. If anyone has leads on jobs for a PhD social science researcher with an expertise in Medicare, Medicaid, and private health insurance, please let me know!

Pritzker: If we don’t want to repeat history, then for god’s sake, in this moment, we better be strong enough to learn from it.

BREAKING: USAID contractors/aid recipients say Secretary Rubio and USAID leader Peter Marocco should be held in civil contempt for violating a court order to lift spending freeze.

Putting a freeze on your credit takes a mere 2 minutes at Transunion and Experian. At Equifax, it takes about 5-20 minutes. So in 25 minutes or less you can protect yourself against possible thuggery from Musk's band of thieves, hackers &Doge dipshits. I highly recommend it.

this is the kind of tangible thing that people will actually feel this summer

America is not gonna go down quietly. Former NFL punter arrested after protesting ‘MAGA’ Video:

Baldwin: "Last night, the president said 'I'm not touching Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, VA, I'm not touching them.' By this morning, he endorsed the House budget resolution which paves the way for massive cuts to Medicaid."

COLLINS: You are a coequal branch of government BERNIE SANDERS: Are we?! I kinda thought so, but you'll have to explain that to the president
