Today we really need dozens of members of Congress to physically enter buildings that have been commandeered by DOGE interns and refuse to leave until things are fixed, whatever that might mean. I can't think of another option.

Let it be clear: DOGE violently shut down a congress-mandated government agency. No checks and balances, no legal process, no accountability.

Declassification by thuggery. “A group of about eight DOGE officials entered the USAID building Saturday and demanded access to every door and floor, despite only a few of them having security clearance, according to a Senate Democratic staff member” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

The Jack Ass is being sued for absolutely everything and it will take years to get past every injunction and work through the courts.

THESE are the violent insurrectionists that Trump pardoned.

Meanwhile, one of Biden's final acts was to grant a preemptive pardon to the POLICE OFFICERS that dared to testify to Congress.

Trump protects the lawless & Biden protects law enforcement!

On inauguration day, Trump released his neo-Nazi para-military brownshirts back onto the streets right after Elon made two Nazi salutes on national television.

This is a clear signal to violent white supremacists the world over to act with impunity.

Welcome to the reign of madness.

12 years ago Musk, Bezos, Ellison, Zuckerberg were worth $74bil combined.

Now the 4 have surpassed a wealth hoard of $1TRILLION!

Yet they need another round of tax cuts while Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid & vet benefits need to be cut.
