REPUBLICANS! How bad does it have to get before someone does something to stop this insanity going on in our country? Maybe homeless, dying senior citizens on the streets because they lost their social security?? Would that be bad enough?? What will it take???

Why are we just talking about how our country is being destroyed more and more every day? Are we just going to let it happen? Why aren't we saving our country? Why doesn't someone do something to save us?

"They have no messaging and no strategy." If you think that Donald Trump won't lie to your face then I've got a bridge and a sack of beans to sell you. @cmgreer.bsky.social on Trump saying Medicaid 'won't be touched" while endorsing a House GOP bill that would slash it.

"Trump is surrendering America. Trump is the opposite of strong. He is a tiny, weak, small, scared, trembling, sissy, husk of a man. There is nothing manly about his fat, sweaty, smelly, gross, makeup'ed self. “

At what point do leaders in the GOP band together (since they seem to lack courage individually) & say enough is enough? The party of Reagan becomes the tool of Putin if they don’t, especially after last night.
NEW — 19-year-old DOGE engineer Edward Coristine turns out to be the grandson of former KGB spy Valery Martynov, who played a role in a sprawling 1980s espionage saga.

As I discuss in my book, Attack from Within, authoritarians demonize anyone who checks their power. Trump is trying to villainize the honorable prosecutors and agents who enforced the law against his “Stop the Steal” minions. Don’t fall for it!

“He’s unqualified, and I daresay that everybody here knows it.” We need more principled senators like Warnock.
Senator Raphael Warnock ahead of the vote on RFK Jr. for HHS Secretary:

"I simply do not trust him to oversee the CDC. He's unqualified, and I dare say that everybody here knows it."

BOOM!

I was just outside the Treasury Department where Elon Musk has launched a full scale authoritarian takeover. My message to Musk is simple: get your hands off our money and get the hell out.
Wyden: "Tell Elon Musk to take his hands off your money!"

Keep saying creepy! Call them Musk's bloodboys! This is better!
Chris Murphy: "We don't pledge allegiance to the creepy 22 year olds working for Elon Musk. We pledge allegiance to the United States of America."

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) says he's a "no" on RFK -- his former law school buddy -- for health and human services secretary.

Any lawyers here who can explain to me why a private citizen can take over a government agency with confidential files and NOT be breaking the law?

Andy Biggs helped plan January 6, according to Ali Alexander.

He should be in federal prison, probably for the rest of his natural life.

But Merrick Garland had to play politics first, so instead tens of millions of workers will lose all safety protections at work.

That the size of it, basically?

Anyone out there ever work in Treasury Payments? I'm curious if this is actually the case:

The Secure Payment System (SPS) employs a strict separation of duties as a core security measure.

The point of the ? Is to know how many people are required to approve a payment and where are they located
