Hey DOGE bros - found some of that wasteful spending you were looking for. How many gov employees could have kept working and feeding their families with the estimated $2.5M this stunt cost?

Really wild how people continue to act like RFK Jr.’s problem is his remote history of heroin addiction in sustained recovery and not the fact that he’s a sociopathic, science denying, con artist, who wants kids to die so he can make a buck, which has nothing to do with him using heroin decades ago.
A joke about Cabinet appointees and their disqualifying traits that substitutes “a junkie” for RFK Jr.

Anecdotally, Trumpism lost the GOP ground among habitual voters. My boss, both my grandmothers (both my grandfathers grew up Midwest dirt poor and were habitual Dem voters their whole lives), at least four military officers off the top of my head. They gained it back in prior non-voters. So can we.

I don't give a single fuck about anyone who voted for Trump. If they get on board they get on board. If the leopards eat enough faces maybe they will. But we can reach non-voters. Consider it a Couch to 5k program for non-voters to active protesters. We can do it--Republicans did it with Trump.

The most revealing look at the electorate. In only one election since 1976 has "Did Not Vote" lost.
Chart of every presidential election since 1976, showing that the percentage of the eligible electorate that does not vote is greater than the percentage that vote for Democrats or Republicans, except for Biden's win in 2020.

The purging of any materials related to "discriminatory equity ideology" came from the DOD and has extended far beyond books. Teachers were also forced to "remove all bulletin boards that reference Black History Month and Black leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr, Harriet Tubman, and Rosa Parks."

The new Trump administration has illegally removed far more people from their jobs because of speech and beliefs in the last month than the entire list of cancelled or pressured people (many of whom were criticized, not fired) compiled by FIRE and others over years. It’s not remotely close.

So, why didn't Trump just pardon Eric Adams if he's been wrongly prosecuted? He's really just suspending the prosecution and reserving the right to reinstate it anytime so he can make Adams his little bitch. Donnie now effectively controls New York City as long as Adams remains as Mayor.
