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?

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 😂

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

What the actual fuck?! America, it’s time to rise. When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty!

This is absolutely insane. If you (somehow) haven’t already been majorly against what this administration is doing, you need to be. The laws of the nation should not be under direct White House control. We have branches of government for a reason. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

This afternoon, the top FDA food official responsible for overseeing America's food safety and inspections resigned from the federal government.

what happened to day one?

Under President Biden’s leadership, inflation was decreasing. Under Trump's economic malpractice, it's increasing. This isn't rocket science.

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

Let's get this straight. Trump took credit for stock market and job gains under Biden— But inflation during his presidency? Not his fault. Got it.

Go ahead. Let the people see you for what you are.

10% of NASA’s workforce has been laid off—guess that’ll be a boost for SpaceX.

This post from the official White House page on Twitter(X) is absolutely appalling.

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.

Every Senator who votes to confirm RFK Jr. today should be voted out of office. Pass it on.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

This week, approximately 200,000 federal workers have been let go.

Rep. LaMonica McIver: "We are at war!"

In 2016 the NYT ran multiple front page stories page about the grave national security risk of Hillary Clinton's server. Today's front page, and nary a mention of the successful "plutocratic coup" (said by a sitting House member) or "constitutional crisis (said by a sitting Senator) unfolding

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: So here’s how it’s going to go down—this is going to be very rough. But the big wake-up call is for our American friends. For example, Kentucky—the number one purchaser of Kentucky spirits in the world is Canada, and all our provinces have just pulled it off the shelves.

Powerful and excellent speech given by Prime Minister Trudeau. If you haven’t heard it yet, highly recommend. youtu.be/xiaACQpFUfE

"FAA Leader Quit Before D.C. Plane Crash—Thanks to Elon Musk" If you're looking to deport an immigrant who killed Americans, we found one.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

The White House has announced tariffs are coming tomorrow. Here's everything that could see a price increase. I broke it all down: open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

This is absolutely insane. It’s crazy how a bill passed by both parties back in 2003 for the safety of inmates is now being targeted by the Trump administration. All they know how to do is dismantle everything they touch in the cruelest ways. www.advocate.com/news/trump-b...

How has it only been 2 weeks since Trump took office again? It feels like it’s already been 4 years.

This administration is dangerously stupid and unbelievable.

Donald Trump has blamed DEI for the plane crash. If I were in the briefing room, I would have held his feet to the fire, holding him accountable for such a terrible statement. That's why independent media is so important. Read more: open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

Any US Senator who votes for Tulsi Gabbard, RFK Jr. or Kash Patel are betraying their oath of office to serve their constituents and uphold the Constitution.

This press conference on the DC crash is an embarrassment. Just a lot of rambling.

Migrant concentrations camps at Guantanamo Bay. Courtesy of Donald Trump.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Donald Trump will be building housing for migrants in Guantanamo Bay, a federal judge slapped down the White House in court, and more in today's evening news update. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

“In almost every foreign conflict in which Russia had a hand, Gabbard backed Moscow and railed against the US. Her past promotion of Kremlin propaganda has provoked significant opposition on both sides of the aisle to her nomination.” www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

In court just now, the states are introducing @PressSec tweet saying the funding freeze is still active as evidence that their lawsuit should continue.

Monetized Holocaust denialism on Twitter but how dare anyone suggest that Elon did a sieg heil.

In what world is an action like this even close to necessary? What an extreme waste of money and time being devoted to this blatantly racist agenda. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

“…That’s a broken healthcare system. We spend the most and get the least.” - Senator Welch (D-VT) Absolutely. I wish that something could actually be done against these major health insurance companies that clearly care more about profits than the health and care of their constituents.
