No one should get violent threats. But if you’re gonna change your vote because of it, you should resign. I’Ve been getting violent threats all week and not only do I have no intention of shutting up, I think it’s evidence that we need to say it louder
Dems advertising that they are capitulating to threats of violence is not an especially smart plan even on narrow selfpreservation concerns

I am launching No Secret Police, a public records database. It currently hosts the Santa Ana Police Department's records but more agencies' records are being processed.
Headshot photographs, names, badge numbers, payroll and other basic public data.

Also, everything the House is trying to do is bad. Wasting its time makes it harder to accomplish those things, which is good.
Yeah I’m never going to criticize anyone who is trying to fight back. Forcing impeachment votes is good. Full stop.
I understand the argument that the impeachment vote in the House is symbolic and thus potentially a "waste of time" but the people who make that argument never explain, and once again in this case have not explained, what *more valuable thing* they need to do with the time instead.

Seems like kind of a big oversight that the Biden OMB didn't rescind this "no longer effectuates the program goals or agency priorities" part.

Legislators who are voting based on death threats rather than what they believe is right need to resign. Let someone with more courage do the job.
Anything else is a violation of their oath of office.

At House Democratic retreat, Rep. Gwen Moore (D-Wis.) says she feels "so sorry" for Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) because she "couldn't imagine her voting for Pete Hegseth" to be defense secretary.
"But she was, you know, she was given death threats if she didn't vote for him."

The President of the USADF handled the attempted DOGE takeover exactly correctly. They say they're going to call the US Marshals to force their way into the building? Fine, make them do it. Other agency heads should follow Ward Brehm's lead.
JUST IN: The head of the US African Development Foundation is suing Peter Marocco and DOGE — and he is describing in detail the standoff in which he blocked DOGE from entering the agency's offices.

Happy to report 25+ protestors at the Tesla dealer in North Hollywood today cheered on by a steady stream of honking cars.
One guy had a double-sided NO KINGS sign and said he’d been compelled to come out for the first time today after seeing the Zelensky presser.

It's not just Memoli. The article names three HHS officials as well: "Dorothy Fink, then the acting secretary; Heather Flick Melanson, chief of staff; and Hannah Anderson, deputy chief of staff of policy" as responsible for the orders. They should all be held in contempt.

Why has no judge said to the DOJ attorneys: by close of business today, you have to file sworn statements by government officials with knowledge as to who is running DOGE, list every person, what their position is, what their status is (advisor, employee, SGE, and so on).

I would then demand, not ask, that LE step aside.
