It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

This is something that should be implemented in Canada as well. "There is already legislation in Wales that makes it an offence for political candidates to make or publish a false statement of fact about the personal conduct or character of a rival to win votes." #CdnPoli #OnPoli

The constant dynamic in Trump 1.0 was people in the admin telling Trump “you shouldn’t do that;” sometimes that was because it would be politically dicey, or illegal or violate vital norms. But sometimes it was just because it was a very very stupid idea that would blow up in everyone’s face.

Carville: USAID spent $41 billion the federal budget is 6 trillion. Actually comes to something like .014%. So take that and put it against the 6 trillion and see what you have done when your president is responsible for more federal debt than any president in the history of the United States.

Elon and other unvetted Trump enablers shouldn't have access to the entire nation's personal and financial data. Can my Republican colleagues acknowledge that? We're forcing a vote to block that access. Let's see where they land.

While I have voted for Republican nominees for FBI Director in the past, I voted NO on Kash Patel. The American people deserve an FBI director who embodies the Bureau’s core values of fidelity, bravery, and integrity. Based on his past statements & actions, that isn’t Kash Patel.

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

This morning, my colleagues and I stood in front of FBI headquarters to make it clear to everyone who wants an FBI focused on violent crime and not on political retribution: Kash Patel would be a disaster as FBI Director.

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.
