Yet another incident where Members of Congress have been barred from entering a federal agency.
They’ve called armed federal officers to the scene. We aren’t dangerous. We are here to represent our people. To defend public education. This is an authoritarian regime. You cannot block members of Congress from entering the Department of Education.

In today's day and age, with all the information within our reach, ignorance is not the lack of knowledge but the refusal to acquire it. Therefore, people who accept misinformation without questioning it are ignorant by choice. Remember, "Knowledge is Power."

Our communities are not safer after Trump’s pardon of Ross Ulbricht, creator of Silk Road (a drug marketplace reportedly tied to 6 deaths) that facilitated the sale of illicit substances, including heroin. The pardon puts families at risk, just like his decision to pardon violent Jan 6 felons.
Trump Pardons Creator of Silk Road Drug Marketplace
Ross Ulbricht was serving a life sentence for creating a site in a shady corner of the internet to sell heroin, cocaine and other illicit substances.

Tee-rump is such a narcissist. Any protests & unflattering comments sends him over the edge.
Tee-rump’s press conference with BiBi today did not go smoothly. You could see his eyes closing & hear the sniffing; lying is so stressful.
He’s knows things are about to get sweaty -like Rudy sweaty.

Trump doesn’t believe in the American Constitution. I don’t think he ever read it.
Any Senator who votes to confirm Russell Vought as head of OMB is very plainly an enemy of the Constitution.

A couple of (actually serious) thought-experiment questions on where we are and where we’re going:
If a bunch of sociopaths are destroying the federal government from within, why should we pay federal taxes?
And if they succeed, who’s going to make us pay those taxes?

aren't contracts legal obligations
President Donald Trump issued an executive order late last week canceling recently negotiated federal union contracts in an effort to target federal workers who had inked deals allowing telework.
This followed previous efforts targeting telework more broadly. Here’s what happened and what it means.
