How long until the Library of Congress faces a purge? Should historians be getting what resources they can now? I'm imagining anything related to the civil rights movement, anti-fascism, and even public health could be gone soon.

Kim just became NJ Senator in early December replacing Menendez. Now if we can get an organized effort from other senators to call out every illegal act by the Trump administration it would be a start.
Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out.

This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

And the government is concerned about TikTok?
is it good or bad that a billionaire oligarch with close ties to foreign dictators is currently downloading the most sensitive information the us federal government has about its citizens to his own private servers?

Good read
Dear Leaders of the Free World,

Fight him at every turn.
Make his life miserable.
Expose his ignorance and sociopathy.
Oppose and condemn and marginalize him.
The decent people of this nation are not with him.

We stand with you.

It is alarming that the LA Times took a piece written by Dr. Reinhart, edited it to say the opposite of what he actuallly said, and then the owner, billionaire Trumper Dr. Soon-Shiong, tried to use the altered piece to amplify his own political beliefs.

It would be nice to see mainstream media acknowledge that every alarmist in their ranks about Trump and his henchmen has been correct, and every single "Let's all calm down" guy--a posture of blasé detachment that is consistently over-rewarded in legacy media--has called it wrong from day one.

I’m hearing all the time from federal workers, nonprofits, LGBTQIA+ Americans, immigrant families, and others in our community who have been targeted and harmed by the president’s actions.

In only two weeks, Trump has made us less safe at home, less safe abroad, less safe in the air, threatened our health/healthcare, positioned us for higher prices and more inflation, pissed off our allies and emboldened our enemies.

Quite the overachiever.

Perfect example of why most confirmation hearings are a crock. Nominees should be judged by their past comments/actions, not by the sanitized image they attempt to portray.

My first and definitely last time working with the Los Angeles Times. Editing out the most urgent point of an OpEd in the minutes before sending to press while then also assigning a title and image that suggest an argument entirely opposite to the author’s clear intent is pretty shitty.

To recap, Trump:

-Forced out the FAA chief at Musk's insistence
-Imposed a hiring freeze that reportedly included air traffic controllers
-Fired the TSA head and gutted a key aviation safety committee
-Blamed the DCA crash on DEI

This is disastrous leadership.

Why is the federal government blowing over $800K on a huge military plane to deport just 79 immigrants to Guatemala, when a regular flight used to cost us $100K?

It’s all for show! And the truth—they weren’t rapists, murderers, or criminals.
