There is not a single person in the Democratic Party who is treating the death of USAID with the gravity it deserves. There’s no political issue more important than the death of 14 million people, but they’re just delivering boilerplate condemnations and nothing more.

I will never, ever understand why Republican representatives are so afraid of Trump. His cronies might try to trash their reelection? So get another job. Better than (I hope) not sleeping nights, knowing that you’ve helped trash democracy.

I keep thinking about our armed service members who are now in a war, led by a Commander-in-Chief who will consider them “losers and suckers” should they become injured or, God forbid, lose their lives in the time ahead.

So they want us to believe that people who were seeking work at Home Depot are a threat to our community?? The same people who suburban families invite into their homes to complete tiling and roofing projects?!
That’s who we’re supposed to fear and not the thugs in riot gear?!?

Trump & Co have been waiting & hoping for this moment—for an excuse to send in the troops. Be stronger than they are—protest peacefully. ☮️ 💪❤️
The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle.
Don't give them one.
Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

The State of California has not requested National Guard support because it is not needed. Invoking the Insurrection Act under these conditions is an abuse of power. We urge everyone to remain peaceful — violence only fuels those looking to justify further escalation.

Here is your statistic of the day:
Nine out of 10 federal employees laid off by DOGE since March worked in liberal-leaning agencies.
All proposed budget increases go to conservative agencies, with the bulk going to the most conservative agencies.

NEW: I analyzed the more recent data on DOGE layoffs and proposed GOP budget increases.
The efficiency was always a lie. The ideology was always the point.
