Donald Trump has been illegally shutting down the parts of government he doesn't like and firing tens of thousands of federal workers since Day One.

Republicans’ shutdown doesn't give him any more power to create chaos.

It’s workers and the American people who will suffer.

Bluesky was all “Everything being public is great, blocklists and labelers are fine, you can’t make an omelette without breaking eggs!” until their CEO got called out using that public information. User who called her out? Permabanned. Labeler lists? The maker ”voluntarily“ dismantled it. Mm-hmm

Why has Dominion Voting Systems been settling defamation lawsuits with Trump allies who falsely claimed the company stole the 2020 election?

Because Dominion has just been bought by a company run by a former GOP election official.

Be warned.

He's not looking out for you — he's looking to make his CEO buddies more money off of your back.

The President of the United States is openly seeking revenge on his political opponents.

First Jim Comey. Now Tish James. Anyone who seeks to hold Donald Trump accountable could be next.

Trump is ripping a page right out of the authoritarian handbook.

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law.

A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections.

This morning, Trump declared that the mayor of Chicago, Democrat Brandon Johnson, “should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers!”

“Governor Pritzker also!” Trump added.

If you think these threats are just bluster, consider that Comey was arraigned today—a longtime dream of Trump’s.

The Trump Admin’s assault on federal workers is nothing new. They have no regard for the public servants who are currently going without pay because of the shutdown they continue to prolong.
