“Trump believes he is the president of Trumplandia, not America…He's so lost in his own reality in which anything that doesn't comport with his increasingly delusional hype is dismissed as fake that I don't think he's even aware of how fully he's been rejected by the vast majority of Americans.”
Trump driven mad by abysmal poll numbers
Most people don't yet know the scope of what's going on — and the Democrats should tell them

Clyburn: "People better get serious about this. When he says he's not joking about throwing away the Constitution, which is what he'd have to do to have a third term, and we are not gonna rise up in opposition to that? I think it's time for us all to wake up."

I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.

Maybe dem reps could hold their own state of the union on the Capitol steps. Steal the spotlight. Let members like AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Max Frost, and the DNC make remarks. Norms don't exist. Buck them.

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.

Red states-pay attention, because you’ll get hit hardest!
They’re gutting NOAA to privatize weather forecasting. Knowledge is power—forecasting is knowledge.
Fossil fuel execs rake in billions while the planet chokes—folks keep guzzling gas & won’t notice the climate crisis while the world burns.

It’s a well coordinated, surgically studied, and sweeping coup.
Annihilation is the vision. They are out to get our military, wealth, resources, and every single one of our human rights.
It’s our duty to revolt against such lawless tyranny.
