As I child, I believed in the US. I was taught that our nation was great and and something to be proud of. Today, federal employees fear losing their jobs and, subsequently, health care. What kind of stupid-ass shithole nation is this? We literally have the power to be better, but do this instead.

It’s horrifying that it’s come to this, but as someone with a deep affinity for Europe I feel moved seeing that continent come together to try to save itself in the absence of any meaningful aid from the totalitarian regime that’s in the midst of taking over the United States through an illegal coup

So increasing the minimum wage to a livable wage is “socialism”?
But Amazon union busting, keeping wages low, and forcing workers onto public assistance while its founder increases his net worth by $7.9M an hour is the "free market"?
Perhaps this could be a WaPo opinion piece.

UPDATE: The charges against her have been dropped “in the interest of justice” (she bit one of the brownshirts that assaulted her) and the private security firm has lost their license to operate. I hope she sues them into oblivion.
PLEASE: Watch what happened in Coeur d'Alene Idaho today. This is fascism. Unmarked cops. 1A violations. RESIST.

A Southwest Airlines plane was forced to abort its landing this morning after a private jet taxied in front of it across the runway at Midway Airport in Chicago.
Whatever that guy from The Real World is doing with the FAA has gotta stop.

We've been saying for YEARS that Donald Trump is a Russian asset, and people kept shrugging it off as if we were overreacting. The evidence has been there since before the first presidency, since before the Steele Dossier even came out.

I'm not sure how soaring egg prices, mass firings, emboldened Nazis, a Measles outbreak, and planes falling out of the sky count as "wins" to MAGA, but I'd sure hate to see what losing is to them.

She follows Judge Chutkan who also raised questions last week

Let’s get something clear. The GOP has the power to keep the government from shutting down in March. They control both chambers of Congress and the White House. If they can’t reach a budget deal within their own ranks, that completely on them.
Dems: Don’t lift a finger to help them. Not one.
