Trump’s push to gut civil service protections under "Schedule F" would make government a loyalty test — not a meritocracy.
Veterans who continue serving as public servants would be forced to swear fealty to Trump — or lose their jobs.
That's not democracy. That's dictatorship.

Trade deficit. I have bought food from say, Chilis. They have never bought food from me.
There is a trade deficit with Chilis. I’m still doing fine.
The trade deficit argument SOUNDS compelling, but it’s a straw man with no relevancy

One day he’s telling us that tariffs are amazing because they will bring lots of new jobs to the US and raise so much money we won’t have to pay income tax, then the next day he’s telling us we aren’t doing them because people were nice to him on the phone.

For the first time in history, a world leader has been kicked out of the White House. It wasn’t a dictator, a monarch, a despot, or a brutal authoritarian. It was a democratically elected president fighting for western values and his nation’s sovereignty.
The Founders wept.

This is not about government efficiency. This is about government emasculation. It's all one big lie.
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:

Watching John Oliver and I gotta say, the part on conservatives complaining about being censored is great.
Conservatives are censored the same way I censor my dog by making her shit in the yard instead of on the couch.

Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?
