A bigoted piece of shit House Republican gets called out for being a hateful disrespectful asshole to Congresswoman Sarah McBride during a hearing. We need to start seeing this kind of pushback much more often.

good to watch. but there's one part in here that most will probably overlook. stability, the constitution and the rule of law are magnets for capital. an elemental observation that's at the root of basically every study of economics and capitalism.
A top economics reporter goes off script on national TV: “I am going to say this at risk of my job, but what President Trump is doing is insane.”

Trump's puppet GOP Speaker Mike Johnson's COWARDICE is showing. Republicans are COWARDS. If they REALLY believed in Donald Trump's cuts to the Federal Work force, cuts to Medicaid & Trump's policies they could speak for themselves. INSTEAD THEY HIDE LIKE GUTTER RATS.

Democratic leadership is an oxymoron.
@schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

But you'd like me to send you money, right? 🤬
If you're wondering why you haven't seen more organized disruptive action from Democrats at the speech tonight, I've heard from multiple people on Capitol Hill that House Dem leadership actively organized against any strong actions tonight. They are leading, but in the wrong direction.

This Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov response is excellent. It's the depth, it's the honesty, it speaks to the corruption in our politics. It should have been Bernie. 2016, 2020 and today. And yeah, Fox News shared it. www.youtube.com/live/3pel5yD...

Musk is head of the DOGE office. Try to lie about that some more, Mr Russian-agent-in-chief.
THAT DIDN'T TAKE LONG: Plaintiffs in one lawsuit against DOGE have alerted the court to President Trump's remarks tonight calling Elon Musk the "head" of the office.

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:

The greatest political scandal today is not what Trump is doing. It is the fact that congressional Republicans have given up their role in the constitutional system as a check on the executive branch. If we are in a constitutional crisis, it is as much on Mike Johnson and John Thune as anyone else.

Yes. This feels worse. I didn't think our government was crumbling then.
Ugh! 😩

Agree.
As a journalist who covers extremism at the local level, I think it’s a mistake to view Trump’s Napoleonic statement as solely about presidential power. Consider if it’s interpreted as a wink and a nod for any extremist to act outside the law to “save” the country as they see fit

You can let Google know they have misspelled the Gulf of Mexico. I think the number of people who agree with this comment could be much higher.

If you are scared to protest now, remember: this is the easiest it will ever be. Life under dictatorships is pure hell & lasts for decades, probably the rest of your lives if you don’t stop them now. Read about Iran, Syria, Afghanistan – sooner or later you have to overthrow them. Choose sooner. #3E
