Trump's Social Security Administration commissioner just called for a 50% staff reduction.

This would gut SSA field offices and make it harder for millions of seniors to access benefits. 

Make no mistake: this is an attack on Social Security itself.

Reddit is banning the mods of LGBTQ friendly subs and then banning the sub because it has no moderation. Several important resources for trans people were unceremoniously banned last night for no real reason other than to comply with trumpism.

Reddit is dead.

Why are you begging for exemptions from the tariffs that you think are such a good idea? Leopards eating your face a little?

It’s not that identity politics is inherently bad, but when that’s the only message you have, it eventually fails to register. The world collectively shrugs it off in favor of things that are more likely to change quickly or that personally impact them. Unfortunate, but true. Pragmatic idealism?

I'm really looking forward to the trumpy meltdowns by cadet bonespurs and all of his feckless minions when federal employees who think he's a giant pile of shit start leaking documents and information that makes him look stupid.

I think that was my favorite part of his first round of playing adult

You are done. Democrats are done. We gave you the last 12 years and you failed. The DNC experiment needs to end now.
We are going to flip the House blue. 

We are going to flip the Senate blue. 

And, we are going to do it together.
