It already seems like this is going to impact every person in this country -- whether through services we use or the impact of huge layoffs on our communities -- and it has not been 2 months yet. thinking hard on this: what does it take to stop a coup in the USA?

BREAKING: The USDA, under DOGE orders, has accidentally fired staff working to combat bird flu. It’s now trying to rehire them. It follows the accidental firing of nuclear safety staff last Friday. And the accidental firing of FAA’s experienced aviation safety staff. Incompetence will be deadly.

I just today (Sunday) received a call from my forest service supervisor. I was laid off as a result of Mr. Trump's EO excising all probationary federal employees. He made sure it was done over the long weekend rather than waiting until the next work day. 1/

Of course ending birthright citizenship is blatantly unconstitutional. So is a third term in office. But I thought the same thing about presidential criminal immunity and holding office after inciting an insurrection. The obvious is not so obvious anymore.

Trump moved his inauguration indoors because he claims temperatures may reach "severe record lows," with temperatures in the 20s (those temps are nowhere near record lows). Other presidents have held inaugurations outdoors with temperatures in the 20s, including FDR, Jimmy Carter, JFK, and Obama.

I get this meme itself is a parody, but why tf is it that conservatives (the Christian type especially) feel a need to randomly capitalize words in a sentence? Or put strange parentheticals to "explain" (describe) what they mean? It's weird and off-putting.

Right. But it's the drag queens and transwomen who are the problem, right? So sick of these hypocritical Christians with their pliable morality.

So I've just been diagnosed with Intermediate Unfavorable Prostate Cancer. Is there anyone out there who has gone through prostate cancer treatment who can help me understand what to expect? I'm getting an MRI and PSMA PET scan within a week to see if it has metastisized anywhere.

If I were a transwoman living in a red state, I'd be VERY tempted to go to a pool or the beach wearing nothing but swim trunks with my breasts and nipples showing to the world. Since the GOP thinks transwomen are men, then there shouldn't be any problem with a man having his tig ol' bitties out.

I am sick and tired of republicans (not just MAGAts) demanding purity and perfection of action and thought from the left while completely disregarding any sense of that for themselves. And then pretending that their blatant hypocrisy can't be seen by the rest of the world.

A scientific consensus is NOT a bunch of people in lab coats sitting around taking votes on what they believe to be true. It refers to a consensus of the evidence. If a study produces evidence that wasn't expected, I assure you that study would be picked apart at the seams before being accepted.

Who wants to take bets on when Musk's ego begins to clash with Trump's ego? Those two aren't going to play well together for too much longer. Eventually they'll disagree on something, then BAM! Elon's out the door. And what will happen to their mutual fan base? How will they split?

What a crybaby! All he needs to do is cut out avocado toast and Starbucks! And if he needs extra cash, I'm sure McDonalds or Walmart is hiring. This is the problem with conservatives. They lack America's "Can Do" attitude. www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...
