Dear senators who think you can’t do anything,

Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT.

I want to post this again. DOJ had sent Marshals to her home (they were called off) to warn her not to testify yesterday. She testified anyway. Bondi's DOJ is a weapon.

Oyer testified anyway. Keep repeating that. She did it anyway.

F--k Bondi.

Dem congresscritters - you have SO much ground to stand on in railing against this admin. It's irrefutable. It is easier than ever to take a stand on clear sound footing, and you need to do more. Some of you are. More of you must. Speak up, speak out, disrupt, delay, make good trouble! NOW.

The economy is in free fall.

The markets are collapsing.

Our soldiers are dying.

Our sensitive information is being leaked over text message and gmail.

Random people are being kidnapped and sent to foreign torture prisons.

And Trump is fucking golfing.

Whenever you can, wherever you see them, give some love and appreciation to public service workers. And teachers. And scientists. Anyone targeted by this garbage. Tell them their work is appreciated and give em support. Knowing people care goes a long way, even if it's all you can do.

Heartless, spineless. Cruel.
Absolute trash.

Please read and share.

Musk is attempting to blame Ukraine for the X cyberattack, but word has already spread that it was a false flag. What is a false flag? A false flag operation is an act committed to disguise the actual source of responsibility and shift blame onto another party.

Are they aware that there are 175 burning wildfires in North and South Carolina, and FEMA employees aren't able to travel for aid there on their $1 spending limit credit cards?...

Or are they just complete morons because we already know the answer to that.
