For someone who's been talking about it for so long, the HHS secretary got many basic facts wrong.

PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

Given that this is the third German treated horribly by ICE, I think Germany should turn Elon's support for Neo-Nazis into a diplomatic issue.

I apologize if this is triggering for anyone, but the United States has what amounts to an abusive spouse for a President. I spent most of my prosecutorial career prosecuting domestic violence cases, and I know so many have lived it (or are still living it). I’ve seen the type, and he’s it.

Can someone explain the legal basis of this nonsense?

Arrests, imprisonment and deportation for protesting? Only on Universities or...?

Can he really do this?
He’s threatening the constitutional rights of Americans. He’ll eventually get to the 2nd one…

'it is a grave error to view Trump, Putin, Musk, or the others merely as grifters — or greedy, or motivated by profits, or only wanting to benefit from government contracts. Theirs is a bid to remake the world; they want power and the chance to impose their worldview onto everyone else.'

Vance has, for years, used this technique where he mischaracterizes the position of his opponents by taking it to an extreme that they never advocated, then arguing w/that fictitious position. Supporters don’t want “permanent” shipments, nor did we advocate de-industrialization.

Thread on Musk’s Project 2025 aligned sabotage of the federal government.
Trump and Musk are eliminating any part of government that works well, because that undermines their thesis that government doesn’t work.

GSA (which houses 18F) turns a profit as an agency. Naturally it has to be destroyed. 18F’s healthy revenue stream also means it must go.

Holy smokes. The Mail, a staunchly RIGHT-WING newspaper in the UK, slammed”‘bully” Trump and called for his state visit to be cancelled.

Trump is now the laughingstock of the entire world.

Youve never heard of @team18f.bsky.social but if you’ve ever used a govt website, you have them to thank for it running smoothly.

And they were all just fired.

I have a feeling this is not something that R voters and constituents can twist, so I recommend sharing their story far and wide!

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:
