This is a shameful way to treat our fellow citizens who are public servants. This doesn’t make America great.

At what point do leaders in the GOP band together (since they seem to lack courage individually) & say enough is enough? The party of Reagan becomes the tool of Putin if they don’t, especially after last night.

Better not call it a “vaccine” or it might not get approved. Maybe market it as a recreational drug.

My new favorite drug is Republican members of Congress getting yelled at in their districts by constituents who hate Musk.

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

Maine Governor Janet Mills is my new hero. She is the first elected official to defy Trump to his face. I’m proud that the pine tree state is my ancestral home. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

"No President – Republican or Democrat – can withhold Federal funding authorized and appropriated by Congress and paid for by Maine taxpayers in an attempt to coerce someone into compliance with his will. It is a violation of our Constitution and of our laws, which I took an oath to uphold."

#Trump intends to weaponize every department of government he can. After yelling at Governor Janet Mills for hurting his feelings, the Education Department has launched a probe into Maine. This is textbook political persecution and possibly a violation of states' rights.

Good on Maine! An EO is not a law!! Leave it to the bully to threaten them for not bending the knee! Sure is acting like a dictator! Do this or else!

Yesterday, my governor showed more integrity than any other in a room of her peers. Now, Maine is the Resistance: Threatened with collective punishment from the whims of a tyrant, not a president. To this, I stand with my fellow Mainers, saying "Dirigo," and "As Maine goes, so goes the nation!"

The Governor of Maine issued a statement last night after the Department of Education announced an investigation into Maine's transgender student sports participation policy. The Trump administration launched the investigation after the governor humiliated Trump at the White House yesterday.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

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.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

You can really feel the anti-Trump sentiment building, and it's not Kitchen-Table Americans complaining about egg prices, it's about the contempt for the rule of law, the reckless cuts, the abandonment of allies, the mistreatment of other Americans

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.
