Snipping one part of this to again note: it seems very few members of Congress realize what their lives are going to be like in the near future when Trump/Musk rip out some of these gears that run the America machine. They will face angry mobs everywhere they go, including their homes.

The American Association of People with Disabilities pushed back on Trump’s comments, saying in a statement that it was "extremely inappropriate for the President to use this tragedy to push an anti-diversity hiring agenda. Doing so makes all Americans less safe.”

Durbin isn't holding back. He's crushing Patel for his past remarks that the FBI planned January 6th for a year (even though the election was in November & Jan 6th was about the election) and that the rioters who beat police were “political prisoners” even though they plead guilty.

Schiff: I want you to look at Capitol police & tell them you're proud that you raised money off people that assaulted their colleagues

Patek: That's an abject lie. I've never accepted violence against law enforcement.

During day 2 of the confirmation hearings for RFK Jr., my colleagues and I noticed something: Senators acted as stand-ins for mothers and caregivers as they questioned him about his views on vaccines. My latest for @19thnews.org: 19thnews.org/2025/01/sena...
Senators acted as stand-ins for American moms as they questioned RFK Jr. about vaccines
The 19th spoke to medical experts about what Kennedy can and can’t do around vaccines if confirmed to lead the Department of Health and Human Services.

In the end, as on January 6, we stand together. Many remained silent. Others, while claiming to support the rule of law, lie about our actions, service, and sacrifices. No matter how much they try, they can’t erase history.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.

Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.

But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.

They aren’t firing for a reason.
