He who rambles on about Hannibal Lecter, Arnold Palmer’s dick size, windmill cancer, and turning Gaza into a real-estate play, and thinks he’s saving the county, should have his head examined.

my take is that your willingness to accept this gulf of america nonsense is an indicator of your willingness to accept much worse things coming from this administrator
Trump’s decision to rename the Gulf of Mexico may be upsetting to some, writes @giladedelman.bsky.social, but “in a democracy, values are determined by majority rule, and they don’t shift in only one direction. They can shift back”:
‘The Gulf of America’ Is the Wrong Fight to Pick
The more that politicians mess around with place names, the more important it is to respond according to consistent principles.

Russia uses election interference and influence to attack Democracy in the west.

They've captured without a shot being fired:
Belarus
Hungary
Georgia
Slovakia
And now the United States of America.

In 1991 wasn't America crowing that they won the cold war? No you didn't win it. You just lost it

This shit doesn’t happen in France and I’ll tell you why: the rich went too far once and they cut all their heads off and now, when those in power fuck workers over, the French stop working. Don’t forget your real power Americans. They don’t let you have unions for a reason.

Elon Musk cannot dismantle USAID without an act of Congress.

Democrats must use every lever at our disposal to block his illegal takeover and shutdown of an essential government agency.

So, is an officer of the United States now reporting to someone without any legal authority under the laws and Constitution? Sure sounds like it!
If a U.S. attorney is talking to Musk like this, then he really is the president. “I ask that you utilize me and my staff…”

At the press conference outside of USAID headquarters, Rep. Jamie Raskin:

"Elon Musk, you didn't create USAID. The United States Congress did for the American people. And just like Elon Musk did not create USAID, he doesn't have the power to destroy it. And who's going to stop him? We are!"

this is genuinely excellent all around - what they're doing, what they're saying

keep yelling at them, it's working, today's Dem response is markedly better than anything they did last week

and yell at the @nytimes.com @cnn.com and the rest of the media to actually cover it
People have gathered outside USAID HQ for press event with Democratic Congressmen Beyer, Raskin, Connolly and Olzewski and Senator Van Hollen where they're addressing the building's mysterious shutdown today in the midst of the Trump admin dismantling the agency.
