When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, that’s not a “threat to democracy,” that’s a check on the president’s power. That's the whole damn point.

Want to go visit the national parks this year?
Sorry.
The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired.

We’re crippled by what epidemiologist @adamjkucharski.bsky.social has correctly identified as ‘status quo bias’. We’re clinging to a paradigm that’s already gone. And every day of not realising the 360 degree tilt of our world is dangerous

Wait. Have @doge and Elon just been pulling numbers from usaspending.gov ?
Then releasing it as if they discovered it ?
Brilliant if true. Absolutely brilliant. Fooled me.
Very Trump like too.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Donald Trump fired the head of TSA.
He illegally fired the entire Aviation Security Advisory Committee mandated by Congress.
And he put a hiring freeze on FAA air traffic controllers.
The buck stops with him.
