So fbi and cia being gutted, treasury payment system hacked, new heads of defense and homeland security aren’t paying attention to anything but costumes and ethnic cleansing, meanwhile trump has pissed off our allies and just made a real estate grab for Gaza. Anybody think we are a sitting duck?

A central premise of the Trump admin is there is pervasive discrimination against hard-working white men, who are being replaced by less-qualified women and minorities
So over the last 2 weeks Trump has implemented an aggressive affirmative action program for white men

You did not vote to give Elon Musk your social security number. We must go to the courts (that’s in the works) and use the leverage House Democrats have to stop this madness. Republicans can’t pass anything without us. Let’s flex.

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

2) my latest nightmare as the dei purge continues, when will they start the raid on the Library Of Congress? Irreplaceable!

My first and definitely last time working with the Los Angeles Times. Editing out the most urgent point of an OpEd in the minutes before sending to press while then also assigning a title and image that suggest an argument entirely opposite to the author’s clear intent is pretty shitty.
