The Labor Department does not know how to help kids read. Nobody in HHS knows how to work with kids with disabilities. This isn't saving money—it's eviscerating the services students depend on.

"Just following orders" is "a defense we know in the WWII context...absolutely did not work....our expectations of our service members are much higher. They’re expected not to follow illegal orders & that they can be held liable if they do." - @repvindman.bsky.social bluevirginia.us/2025/11/virg...

Kelly: "I never expected after serving 25 years in the Navy flying combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait, flying the Space Shuttle, that now I've got to worry about my personal safety and that of my wife, Gabby Giffords, who was already nearly assassinated, because of something the president said."

If you believe Trump is sane, then Congress has the power to impeach.
If you believe he's not sane, then we have the 25th Amendment.
Either way - people in Congress and the Cabinet swore an oath. It's time to uphold it.
The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Trump and his voters have put us through so much pain and not one of his supporters has a higher paying job or cheaper healthcare or a better education for their children or new roads or sidewalks or hospitals...

Nothing is better. Everything is demonstrably worse.

Hey @GovBillLee do you have any concerns about your buddy Elon covering up firefighters and workers getting burned by chemicals in his tunnel?

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106.

12 days of work in 106 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

Speaker Mike Johnson is delaying the swearing in of the new House Member because she’ll be the 218th vote to force the release of the Epstein Files.

He pretends to be a good Christian man while protecting violent child rapists.

This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law.

May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.
