Well, he’s sure getting even with them, allowing their profound incompetence and lack of integrity to shine for the world to see.

Josh Marshall of Talking Points Memo: It's critical for people to remember what an Executive Order is. It's the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies, actions, etc. They're not laws. They're formalized memos to employees. That's all.

Let’s be honest here.This nation is in chaos b/c the egos of men,especially white men, weren’t pumped up enough under BidenHarris. They weren’t the center of attention. As the country worked for equity& inclusion the*boys* said not so fast. Now they’re playing war games on their phones

While we continue the mass protests, the mass social media campaigns (keep fighting): We need the lawyers to continue fighting in the courts, and they are. They are doing great BUT .... SCOTUS can make a huge difference by just doing the right thing ⬇️ #OverrulingPrecedent #ProudBlue

Amazon Warehouse injuries are twice the industry average and employees have exposed poor working conditions. And yet... "After contributing almost $30M to the President and cutting sweetheart deals to the First Lady," a former Amazon Executive, David Keeling, was chosen by Trump to lead OSHA.

Trump's tariffs will raise the cost of building a single-family home in the U.S. by $7,500 - $10,000. Just one way these tariffs are going to be paid by Americans. San Diego’s housing prices are already way too high, and this will only make them worse.

Our government sent Venezuelans to a PRISON in El Salvador. Without any proof of their “crimes”. And we paid El Salvador OUR MONEY to do so. These people are evil. @democrats.org STOP COOPERATING with the Trump/Musk regime in any way. If you can’t do that, step aside.

Hey @schumer.senate.gov! The People need you to vote NO on the Republicans' CR and defunding bill. If you vote Yes, you should lose your leadership oosition to someone with more spine and integrity. You're bringing a cartridge to a gun fight, and will kill democracy.
