“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

8. Use your town square Every one of us has a town square. It may include our social media accounts, our local book club or dinner table. Use your town square to speak out in favor of democracy and against what Republicans are doing. Do not shy away from difficult conversations; seek them out.

I don’t know why stories like these aren’t front page headline by themselves. I’m doubtful the modal American understands Trump’s anti-DEI crusade is just naked bigotry. Behavior like this spells it out so plainly.

Vought is giving big banks and giant corporations the green light to scam families. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has returned over $21 billion to families cheated by Wall Street. Republicans have failed to gut it in Congress and in the courts. They will fail again.

Supporting Canadian should also extend to the media we consume. Postmedia is majority owned by a Republican-connected US hedge fund thanks to legislation the Conservatives pushed through AFTER they lost in 2015. It was a Republican takeover of Canadian media. #Canada #BuyCanadian #cdnpoli

And there it is: Russell Vought is confirmed. I wrote a long profile of him, his worldview, his political project: He’s one of the architects of Project 2025, an avowed Christian nationalist, and a radical ideologue of the “post-constitutional” Right. He is at war with pluralistic democracy.

The "peace candidate" Trump wants to force 2 million Palestinians from their homes, give another $1 billion in weapons to Netanyahu, and enact a "plan" to turn the decimated Gaza strip into a billionaires' Riviera. If this is his "peace" policy, I'd hate to see his war policy.
