#SOTU Democrats, color coordination of outfits is not messaging. The facts are on your side. Maybe start to take control of the narrative? What are you waiting for? This is a golden opportunity to be the noble alternative to the bastards running the country into the ground. Please do better.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:

Tom Homan on State of the Union this morning is painful to watch. This guy can’t talk himself out of a paper bag. He vomits forth talking points that he doesn’t even seem to understand. Trump has hired some really terrible people in his administration.

The hypocrisy is the least surprising thing I can think of. Republicans are devoid of shame. The concept simply eludes them. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/u...
Republicans Love Trump’s Spending Cuts. Just Not in Their States.
Even as they praise the president’s unilateral actions to slash federal spending, G.O.P. lawmakers have quietly moved to seek carve outs or exemptions for their own constituents.

Expect to hear a lot about Marbury v. Madison in the coming weeks. Also expect loads of idiots who never heard of the case to become experts on the ruling. It’s notable that it’s typically the first case taught in a 1L constitutional law class.

Best thing our allies can remember: if you stand up to Trump you intimidate him and he will back down. If you crawl to him (like his sycophantic politicians) he will not respect you and will eventually throw you under the bus.

Rep. Brandon Gill is yet another stupid new member of Congress. His lack of understanding of Congress, American values and foreign policy ought to be disqualifying. Who votes for these morons? I know…other morons.
