The military isn’t being employed to carry out an immigration policy.
The immigration policy, and especially the way the administration is choosing to carry it out, is an excuse to call out the military.

**This is how recessions start.**
This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start

More accurate, fewer words;
"There are plenty of contractors going under".
A friend furloughed 75% of staff (furlough w/paying for health insurance for three months), 50% exec pay cut, 25% rest of staff to keep as many people w/salary.
PS: Wasn't 18F a government office, not a contractor.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:
-FDA, which oversees Neuralink
-FAA, which oversees SpaceX
-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.
"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Trump is prepping an executive order to dismantle the Dept. of Education, directly harming students. It will drain resources from the most vulnerable, skyrocket class sizes, make higher ed more expensive, strip special ed services, and gut student civil rights protections. We won't let this happen.

Dems should take a hard line: no CRs or debt ceiling increases without full reinstatement of fired federal employees with back pay and an independent special prosecutor that Trump can't fire to investigate what happened over the last week with Musk.

The lies and chaos of the last two weeks are, quite literally, killing people and assigning blame on various others that have no logical connection to the events at hand. This is not normal. It is not okay. And we can’t look the other way.

Historian of fascism here. It was a Nazi salute and a very belligerent one too.
The Nazis think this was a Nazi salute, but, hey, what would they know?

No number of pardons or lies will change what happened on January 6. Donald Trump can’t change history. It was domestic terrorism, it was treason, plain and simple.
