I am still not over the betrayal from Wilds that there is no cat chef in this game, but I will take the comedic relief that you can fully cook and eat a whole ass meal while a monster rages immediately around you and it’s just… fine

If this doesn’t rile up every fucking Republican who is “regretting” their vote right now then they’re a liar and a fraud for every value they’ve ever touted
“Elon Musk is firing military veteran firefighters for no reason” is the biggest slam dunk in political messaging history, Dems should be shouting it into the world’s biggest bullhorn from the top of the Washington Monument.

I’m sorry but continuing to insist that the only things you can do are go about business as usual and draft orders, acts, and petitions that can and will be either blocked in your own process or utterly ignored by the people staging a coup because that’s what a coup is, that is standing by passively
The Democrats' "we can't do anything, stop bitching" response to being the minority party is exactly why they're the minority party in the first place
Scoop: Dems "pissed" at liberal groups MoveOn, Indivisible
"I reject and resent the implication that congressional Democrats are simply standing by passively."

And this passed out of committee.

I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe.
She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today.
RIP Elisa.

Or will politics come before people? 🤷🏻

I keep asking where the actual show of force is against people staging a fucking coup. Literally the world’s biggest dragon hoarder literally sleeping in a federal building every night and for fucking what? So we can keep saying “but it’s illegal!” Like they don’t know and don’t fucking care?
I have seen people get thrown face-down onto a hard floor for failing to follow a judge's orders.
I have seen people sent to Rikers Island for refusing to follow a judge's order.
Courts have plenty of hard power. But they only have practice using it against poor people.

Gillibrand on WNYC today said one reason they're all falling in line is that they get death threats.

Elon Musk’s staffers are still attempting to manipulate the Treasury payment system to halt the flow of funds following their recent losses. Reminder: U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly has restricted DOGE’s read-only access. No one is above the law.
