These absolute morons are going to destroy the United States. If you’re in favor of the US leaving NATO, you either don’t want the US to succeed, or you don’t know wtf NATO does. Worth noting that Mike Lee voted to expand NATO in 2022.

I am trying to cut down on the cussing, but then stuff like this happens. STEM is my field. I spent over 3 decades working in it. Fuck the GOP. Especially cowardly women. "Female scientists are having their information deleted from government websites." womenrefusingtobeerased.org

AND ALSO THERE'S A COUP

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.

Elon musk does not have presidential immunity - every state should file felony charges against him

Every state should press charges-

#ProudBlue I must ask America, if you aren’t willing to fight, are you and your family willing to die? You just voted in a party that, Doesn’t believe in Climate Change, vaccines, societal safety nets, equality and rights for average Americans. If you don’t fight, you die. Simply put.

Feeling stuck and helpless in the onslaught of lunacy and cruelty coming out of DC or your own state? Support the ACLU. They've always done essential work, but we need them now more than ever. www.aclu.org/how-you-can-...

Murphy: "Let's not pull any punches about why this is happening. Elon Musk makes billions off of his business with China. And China is cheering at this action today. There is no question that the billionaire class trying to take over our govt right now is doing it based on self-interest."

Congressional delegation outside USAID now: “We are here to shed a light on a crime unfolding before our eyes.”

People are getting up off the mat.

A witch hunt has begun at the FBI. Employees are required to provide information by Tuesday and are being encouraged to report on their coworkers. The FBI questionnaire asks agents about their roles in various cases, including whether they made arrests or appeared in court, among other details.
