Sure Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the CNO....but they fired the top JAG's in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Why would you fire the top lawyers in the armed services at night on a Friday? That's the part you should be freaking out about.

What if they close grocery stores and we have to hunt for our food? I don't even know where Little Debbie lives.

Democratic leaders: I think it's abundantly clear at this point that simply going along to get along ain't gonna work. Trying to negotiate ain't gonna work. Being collegial ain't gonna work. What you're doing right now isn't working. Take your gloves off and punch back. Hard.

This Game of Thrones quote feels especially poignant: “Any man who must say 'I am the king' is no true king.”

Trump blames Ukraine for starting the war the way a rapist blames his victim for looking too sexy.

I keep seeing this. Guys, their literal job is to figure out what to do. They are not helpless even if they are not the majority. I really hope we can stop treating some of the most powerful people in the world as helpless and without sentience.

If you don't think Social Security & Medicare are next, you're not paying attention. If you voted for this, you deserve all that's coming. I've spent my entire life a bleeding heart for others less fortunate, but I have no drops left for you. I feel nothing... except for your children. Damn you all.

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.

Imagine if the media pointed out there was already a Government Accountability Office whose job it is to go after actual waste and fraud, not just things Elon doesn’t like, and found $70 Billion in savings last year and $2 Trillion in waste since 2003. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governm...

I’m sure it’s just my TDS, but I think Trump is proving to be exactly as bad as we said he was going to be and people who acted like we were hysterical should be embarrassed they didn’t do more to try and stop it.

I feel like I'm going insane every time I see a media story about DOGE that doesn't also mention the fact that the Government Accountability Office exists and performs the exact function that DOGE pretends to, only in a credibly constitutional, non-partisan, and conflict-of-interest-free manner

This one was censored in the US so not sure how many of you caught this before, but little X knows about the election rigging. Which is why Musk has effectively kidnapped him and doesn't allow him to be with his mother or other family.

I realized today that Trump, Musk, DOGE, Vance, Miller, Vought and their many collaborators have broken so many laws already that they know they have to destroy our government and entire way of life to stay out of jail. This is all or nothing. We should respond accordingly.

Now let me ask a troubling question: If the President is no longer bound by the Constitution - if he can ignore legislation passed by Congress and rulings by federal courts - are the states bound by it anymore? Because we are on track to ask that question, and not in a good way.

I just spoke with an attorney who works with the NOAA, and there is a valid path to shut down what's happening. The agencies are compromised, the IGs are fired, etc. We need a state AG (she said NY would be best) to file a lawsuit seeking an injunction using state and federal cybersecurity laws.

You can't rationally decide or determine what aspects of a huge department are effective or not or "efficient" (a subjective term) or not by looking at some computer code for five mins. I don't care if you are a "superstar" coder. It's not about the code, FFS!!

Separation of powers. Checks and balances. Congress, only Congress can make laws & change laws. Congress, placed first in the Constitution, made the most powerful branch in the federal government. On purpose. Why? Because our Founders feared a king. Our Founders feared a tyrant.

I tried for months to tell people not to vote for Trump over the genocide in Gaza. Wrote 2 articles. Yes, Biden & Democrats were complicit in the bloodshed but electing Trump wouldn't "punish" Biden or Harris, it would only make matters much worse for everyone. And here we are. Tragic.

if the president’s lackeys can functionally seize control of treasury funds and dismantle a congressionally-created agency without consequence, it’s not that it’s a constitutional crisis as much as it means the constitution is vapor.

Be honest with yourself: If the crisis happening right NOW is not dealt with swiftly, assertively, and with every Goddamn resource and option our representatives have to use....do you, in your gut, genuinely believe that we would have a free and fair Mid-term election? Stop. No, you don't.

A whole bunch of people who were totally cool with posting the addresses of NIH/CDC employees during COVID are now absolutely apoplectic that people would publish the mere names of people forcing their way into government agencies and accessing sensitive data. Weird, huh?

I think Americans, blessed with relatively stable government for a long time, assume there is someone, some adult, who will step in and make things right before the President does anything REALLY bad. There’s not.

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼
