If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

NEW: “The first nationwide database tracking misconduct by federal police officers has been shut down by President Donald Trump, the Justice Department confirmed.” Because who cares about accountability in law enforcement, amirite? www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Here in Illinois, ten years ago we saw the consequences of a rampant ideological gutting of government. It genuinely harmed people. Our citizens hated it. Trust me – I was elected based in part on just how much they hated it.

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?

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

Keep in mind that the probationary federal employees who are now being fired are NOT just newly hired ones. If a long-term employee is promoted to a higher-level position, such as a supervisory or managerial role, then the employee may be subject to a probationary period for that new position.

Right now, some poor 300 yr old lady is having her social security cut off & it's all Elon Musk’s fault 🤔

Why is any U.S. media outlet pretending there have been sufficient savings associated with this Musk debacle—or even any confirmed _net_ savings at all—such that every American can be given $5,000? This is clearly a desperate attempt by Musk and Trump to simply _pay_ people to stop criticizing them.

The key point that was made in this clip is that it happened organically. We don’t come from the consultant class, we get zero legacy media hype, we don’t get invited on shows & don’t want to be on TV, no big money donors writing checks. It all happened one person at a time. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

For the last two days, Sean Duffy has been blaming Pete Buttigieg, Joe Biden, the Democrats, and anyone else he can think of for the fact that under HIS watch, planes are crashing on a near-daily basis. Maybe fewer joyrides to the Daytona 500 and a little more attention paid to transportation.

Marjorie Taylor Greene tried to have Pete Buttigieg's salary reduced to $1 in November 2023. Does she think Sean Duffy should keep his job if planes can't manage to stay in the sky?

Marco Rubio's collaboration with Russia's Sergei Lavrov and Putin is one of the most disgusting acts of betrayal to democracy and our nation. Rubio has secured his place in history of infamy.

Happy President’s Day to former Presidents Bill Clinton, Barack Obama and Joe Biden! Thank you for your leadership and for your dedication to making this country a better place for ALL Americans. Extending a big middle finger to Musk and Trump. If hell is legit, it holds a special place for them.

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

The guy who racked up almost $8T in debt during his first term has no interest in paying it down. The federal purge underway is to allow for oligarchs to make trillions in privatization and run roughshod in a deregulated landscape. Remember that in an oligarchy, everything is run by the oligarchs.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Glad Trump had the chance to waste millions of taxpayer dollars to fly over the Daytona 500 and then ride The Beast on the track as parts of West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, Arkansas, and Tennessee are underwater. Priorities.
