Yes, this. Enough stern statement and tweets, enough handwringing. Where is the fire? Where are the lawsuits?
Enough. The Democrats must shut down the Senate and use their power. Stop voting for these idiots. Stop all unanimous consent. Demand answers. Filibuster. Where is the fucking outrage?

I truly hope that FBI agents will not resign, despite how terrifying this must feel. I suspect that FBI agents, by the nature of their job, have more moral courage than the average employee (as evidenced by Driscoll)…if they can act collectively, they can create needed friction against this purge

Senior FBI official forcefully resisted Trump administration firings
Brian Driscoll pushed back so aggressively that some feared he would be dismissed. He has so far not handed over the names of thousands of FBI agents who worked on Jan. 6 cases.

Hey, do you have a close friend outside your race?
Especially, if one of you is white & the other’s BIPOC—keep talking. I know it’s tough w/Trump’s DEI attacks. Take a moment, but don’t walk away.
Remember, this fight isn’t w/each other. We have to stick together, to get through what’s coming. 👊🏽

He's doing it
This may be the scariest thing I've read today.
I think this is our future unless someone stops him. Musk’s plan for X has been for it to replace the entire banking system. His keen interest in seizing control of Treasury payments (and its tech) may forebode an intention to have such payments go through X www.theverge.com/2023/10/26/2...

I'm old enough to remember when some of these very same organizations spent dozens of news cycles on whether Kamala Harris adequately explained her position on fracking.
Last night, a Defense memo said 4 major news organizations — The NY Times, NBC News, NPR and Politico — will have to move out of their longtime workspace on Correspondents' Corridor in the Pentagon, an unprecedented move, under a new Annual Media Rotation Program for Pentagon Press Corps. #MikeAllen
