This is how it’s done.

“That is why Trumpists are so focused on “ending DEI” in the federal workforce. They see anti-discrimination and inclusion as a ladder of upward mobility for people they do not believe should have one.”

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Pay attention to this. Replacing JAGs with loyalists enables whatever orders Trump and Hegseth issue to be interpreted as lawful.

ProPublica has released another study related to the effects of abortion bans in the U.S., this time showing a spike in sepsis cases in Texas following the implementation of that state's "heartbeat" abortion ban in 2021.

Extortion is a crime. And it makes sense that the convicted felon leading the country would do such a thing.

“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.

When they privatize everything, it isn’t regular people who win. It’s their friends and whoever does what they want. 🇺🇸 is not a business. The more we run it like one, the more we leave those with the least behind. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

When they fire the Chair of the Joint Chiefs and the Chief of the Navy next week, they’ll use words like DEI. The left will chalk it up to racism and sexism. But that’s only part of it. Mostly they just want people who they believe will carry out illegal or unethical orders.

The CDC has an ultra-competitive 2-year program to train "the best of the best" to lead public health labs. Most of the current class were terminated over the weekend. www.science.org/content/arti... (by @meredithwadman.bsky.social)

PETE: “What we have to do now is make clear we do want government to work differently and better than it has, but burning it to the ground won’t do that for anyone.”

Murphy: "The game is clear. We can see it. They're not even hiding it. There is not a rule of law anymore. There is one set of law for people who are loyal to Donald Trump, and there is one set of law for people who care criticize him. That is not democracy."

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

For obvious reasons, the lesson—the internet wisdom—behind ‘don’t feed the trolls’ is applicable to random comment board participants but not the president of the United States. The president and his White House staff spending time fantasizing about a monarchy is not wise to ignore.

I try to keep the language on here… PG… but in this case i can’t. You, Trump, are a traitorous piece of shit

Former 🇺🇸 ambassador to Russia 👇🏽

Congrats, America. We're now on Putin's side.

We wanted them to have healthcare and a high paying job and a planet to live on and freedom. They want us to suffer. The parties are not the same.

First nuclear weapons management, now this. No one - Democrat or Republican - voted for this kind of incompetence.

Quite an exchange here between Judge Reyes and DOJ attorney on how "pronoun usage" affects military readiness.

This legal fiction is to shield Musk from any meaningful accountability. He is operating his own organization within the federal government, loyal to him not Trump, and has amassed unprecedented control of federal data. But just an advisor!

Heh

Hey @JDVance, and @elonmusk, and @realDonaldTrump it looks like the Auschwitz Memorial wants to educate you. STOP LYING TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

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

Classic Snoopy

PSA: Words matter They aren’t “layoffs” It’s not about “efficiency”

So if Musk doesn’t run DOGE, and DOGE isn’t a real government agency, then no one has to listen to Musk or do what the DOGE bros tell them to do, right?

We are very here for Phil pressing Tennessee Republicans on if they’re ok with Elon/Trump cutting billions in medical research that will impact Tennessee 👀👇🏽 More of this. Context: www.newschannel5.com/news/newscha...

The UK has a shadow cabinet - political positions within the party that isn’t in power - and so should we. Plus, we need weekly press briefings led by @petebuttigieg.bsky.social on the state of the union. Business-as-usual time is over.
