Salem has had it with Trump crying "witch hunt" whenever anyone tries to hold him accountable.
We know a thing or two about witch hunts.
And we recognize that Trump's war against immigrants & trans people is the real modern day witch hunt.
Salem residents say never again. Not on our watch.

they are mostly targeting black employees so this is quite literally just a repeat of woodrow wilson’s segregationist purge of the federal government
Federal health workers are expressing fear and alarm after a website called “DEI Watch List” published the photos, names and public information of a number of workers across health agencies, describing them as “targets.”

New via NYT — The CIA sent the White House an unclassified email listing all employees hired by the spy agency over the last two years to comply with an executive order to shrink the federal work force. One former agency officer called the reporting of names a “counterintelligence disaster.”

Amazing. David Perdue spent his entire business career getting rich by outsourcing American jobs to China. He’s no China hawk - the CCP was his business partner! These people say one thing to their sheeple then do the exact opposite of what their base believes they are doing.

The combination of arrogance and ignorance is key here.
Because those who wield it are too arrogant to know they’re ignorant. Dunning-Kruger supercharged.

Sometimes the combination of arrogance and ignorance is breathtaking. Yes, US health care has high admin costs; that's because it relies so much on private insurers. Govt-run health insurance has much lower overhead

The fact that a legislator can’t realize his tweet finally got 23 million views on a platform where the owner retweeted it and where he arbitrarily throttles views he despises and pushes complimentary ones is a HUGE problem.

The House majority LITERALLY came down to 3 seats in NC that the state GOP gerrymandered out of existence, aided and abetted by the State Supreme Court and by SCOTUS. The NC State Supreme Court majority was flipped by ONE seat in 2022.
With Democrat Adam Gray’s win in California yesterday, the GOP majority in the next Congress will be only 220-215. If it wasn’t for illegal gerrymandering by NC Republicans — which the Supreme Court let slide — Hakeem Jeffries would be the next House Speaker with a 218-217 Democratic majority.

To my earlier point: none of these picks are about competence and reasonableness. None of it is about expertise.
It's all about loyalty to Drumpf and cronyism.

Devil’s in the gerrymandered details.
The final House results have now landed as 220-215 for the GOP. That means the House majority came down to the 3 NC seats the GOP flipped thanks to its brand new gerrymander.
And that gerrymander hinged on NC's supreme court flipping in 2022.
