How can Republicans vote to approve Todd Blanche as AG when he is breaking the law every day about releasing ALL of the unredacted Epstein Files? It's like they think an acting AG can pick and choose which laws he obeys.
Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 25 days in the hospital. Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare. The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave, is now getting all three.
Can we get a new AG, please? One who knows that the United States is their client. Not Donald Trump. Asking for 300+ million Americans......
RE: Greenland. Can someone explain to Trump what being in NATO means? We have access to military bases on Greenland already. We have our own military and all our allies in NATO to protect it against Russia and China. "An attack on one is an attack on all." POTUS is clueless.
DOGE Oversight Subcommittee held a hearing on reducing federal property. All they said was “fire sale” this, “fire sale” that. Meanwhile, they’re lighting all of this s**t on fire — while their incompetent leader wastes millions of taxpayer dollars golfing, all while steering us towards a recession.
The U.S. must follow due process. If this administration is going to deport people, make sure they're actually criminals. The stakes are too high to make mistakes. Abrego Garcia should be returned immediately.
Russia, North Korea and Hungary all exempt from Trump tariffs. Hmm mm. Wannabe dictator traitor to America favors his dictator friends.
Adam Kinzinger@adamkinzinger.substack.com · last yr.There are no tariffs being put on Russia. Hmmm
DOGE is not about efficiency or cost savings. It is about power.
Josh Marshall@joshtpm.bsky.social · last yr.Perhaps the most concise way to think about this is that Musk has pranced around bragging about cracking down on fraud and abuse, finding the bad guys. Meanwhile what he's actually done is enable perhaps the biggest splurge of fraud and tax cheating in history. For him and his pals.
I was 17 in 1972 and remember being so hopeful then. Who could possibly be against Equal Rights in America? Like freedom and the right to pursue happiness...who could possibly be against it? I still don't understand the opposition. 🤔🤨
Shooti@bambooshooti.bsky.social · last yr.#ResistanceRoots #Voices4Victory Today in history, 1972: The U.S. Senate passes the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) and sends it to the states for ratification. Ratification seemed certain until a “conservative” backlash led by Phyllis Schlafly derailed the amendment. /1
This is horrible, monstrous, anti-American, anti-Christian, mean and hateful. Makes me ashamed to be an American.

Silicon Valley Whistleblowers Warn Elon Musk ‘Hijacking’ Republicans to Control Entire US Government
Former followers of the ‘Dark Enlightenment’ say a planned 'neo-reactionary' hollowing out of government is happening in real time

Trump and Elon talk about “protecting American jobs,” but they’re currently trying to kill 2 million of them. Civil servants do cancer research, keep our air and water clean, are vital to our national security, and support our economy. They must be protected. thehill.com/regulation/c...

I love that these complete morons assumed we were sending palettes of cash to countries and not sending things like rice and wheat while paying American farmers for those goods
The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · last yr.U.S. businesses that sold goods and services to USAID are in limbo, including American farms dealing in rice, wheat and soybeans purchased as food aid.
It’s a coup. Musk and his gang are breaking laws. They should be arrested. This is not complicated.
FBI firings are a 5 alarm fire. Firing the senior leadership, scores of senior agents and hundreds of line agents will make us less safe from criminals and external threats. This is a catastrophe of yet incalculable proportions. These attacks on law enforcement are a menace to the American people.
Elon Musk is NOT: - An elected official - An appointee confirmed by the Senate - Or even a legit fed So why the hell has he been given access to fire federal employees, sensitive gov data, and federal payment systems. He must be stopped.
BREAKING—Musk has convinced Trump to officially shut down USAID and terminate all USAID-foreign aid to charities. Many legal experts say shuttering USAID violates a law adopted by Congress establishing the agency, and violates laws against impounding Congressionally approved funds.

Elon Musk is not a Federal employee or a political appointee. DOGE is not a real department. None of their activities are legal. This is a coup. The Republicans in Congress are willing participants in it. At what point do Democrats in DC get that and start acting like it? It’s not the price of eggs!
Over 400,000 Americans died fighting the horrors of fascism in WWII—now we have Trump henchmen mimicking a Nazi salute? It’s a disgusting insult to their sacrifice and a chilling sign of where we’re headed.
It is unconscionable to hold disaster victims hostage as part of a scheme to pass massive tax breaks for billionaires and wealthy corporations. Let me politely articulate our position to House Republicans. Get lost.
Jack Smith did his duty. And the public deserves to see the product of his work and that of his team. Before Trump can follow through on his promise to bury it.
Biden on Meta ending fact-checking: "Telling the truth matters ... it's just completely contrary to everything America's about. We want to tell the truth. We haven't always done it as a nation, but we want to tell the truth ... I think it's really shameful."

Not housing the homeless is a policy choice we have made. It is shameful and wrong. We should house and feed those in need and in poverty. Not give tax breaks to millionaires and billionaires.
🗽LOLGOP🗽@thefarce.org · 2y agoMAGA's whole scam is to turn the most vulnerable into punching bags for the richest humans who have ever lived. Homelessness is a real problem, but everything MAGA wants to do would only make it worse and more brutal for the unhoused. Find out what can actually work.
To my mind Brian Tyler Cohen is a national treasure: clear/ compelling/analytic/powerful/courageous and also funny. We need his voice more than ever. In today's post, he is angrier than I've ever seen him - and he's right to be angry.
