Absolutely and of course Trump who’s businesses were found guilty of 17 counts of criminal tax fraud and falsifying business records would want to purge the IRS of auditors.

🔗 Refresh your memory with this article and recognize Trump is still operating as a Russian asset. “Trump was the perfect target (for Russia) in a lot of ways: his vanity, narcissism made him a natural target to recruit. He was cultivated over a 40-year period, right up through his (2016) election”

Chaos and the dangerous incompetence of Trump and Musk purges puts us all at risk. Nuclear facilities not being monitored globally or maintained here, plane crashes and now firing USDA workers who protect us from bird flu. Scrambling to rehire only means they have no clue what government does.

These are the kinds of stories about the human costs of the Trump-Musk coup that desperately need telling right now. Local news outlets and independent journalists can do a lot of important work here, for their own communities but also for the national effort to push back against this insanity.

The Other Constitutional Crisis. The 14th amendment has been under attack since its ratification in 1868. But President Trump has distinguished himself by advancing the most aggressive dismantling since Andrew Johnson, an avowed white supremacist. #History open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Here’s the thing. Every one of these people in tears heard Trump on the stump before Nov. They knew he was cruel. But they were fine with it, thinking he’d only hurt the people they didn’t like. The problem with cruelty—It spreads. You don’t get to control it. Sooner or later, it comes for you too.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

THIS IS SERIOUS: Republicans want to gut healthcare from millions of kids, seniors, and disabled people—all to fund $4.5T in tax cuts for billionaires. Not just numbers on a spreadsheet—kids losing inhalers, babies missing checkups, parents choosing between food and medicine. Hands Off My Medicaid
