Signing such an agreement or having it in your personnel file will be grounds for firing by the next President. Inconsistent with doing their jobs. Their loyalty has to be to the Constitution and Laws, not some person or party.

Didn't know Trump was eligible.

Yes, they're out of control. And drunk out of their minds. And racist. And abusive.

Really. Can we get anyone to pay attention to this problem?

One thing I think a lot about is Claire McCaskill saying in 2018 that whatever her message was it just wasn’t getting to people in large parts of the state where local media is gone and Fox News is playing in every dentist’s office and auto repair shop

the democratic party’s basic problem is it has almost no control over how its message reaches the ears of voters, especially outside of presidential election years. but rather than devote serious time, attention and cash to that problem its consultants and pundits want to fight factional battles

AOC: "You are beneath my paying attention to."

It's not to ban them. It's to ban their patients, poor women who can't afford another child, getting birth control.

We’re giving $40 billion to Argentina.

This is $5 billion MORE that the entire USAID budget that DOGE cut.

They abolished the House of Representatives ... solely to prevent the release of information about the president's best friend, the pedophile who ran a sex trafficking ring.

I really think that we need to talk more about the fact that Republicans have basically quietly abolished the House of Representatives

For the record, $130 million is almost literally a tiny drop in the bucket. The U.S. military payroll biweekly is some $23 billion (the latest budget request is $600 billion). This ostensible gift amounts to a bit more than 0.5% of the biweekly payroll.

Hey, just want to mumble that this is wildly illegal and inappropriate and would prompt impeachment proceedings if we still had a functional Congress instead of one run by a blind, deaf and mute Renfeld wannabe.

New: The Pentagon confirms to CNN it will funnel $130M from an anonymous Trump “friend” toward military pay.

Asked about the donor’s identity and any foreign or domestic entanglements, the WH referred questions to DoD. DoD then referred questions back to the WH

Poll watchers are limited in what they can do in NY, I think. So good poll watchers have to be there to protect good people from bad poll watchers.

David Lewis @davidlewis61.bsky.social · 3d

Is that for being a poll worker or poll watcher? In NY a poll watcher is usually trained by a party to protect voters in favorable precincts. Make sure they get a provisional ballot or get to a judge hearing election cases if turned away.

As a matter of current law, could the president just…knock down the entire White House? Just raze the whole thing to the ground?

My husband said he cannot believe they used heavy equipment on a historic building like they did.

He said they usually take it apart by hand and small equipment. The structural integrity is going to be an issue

A district court would preliminarily enjoin the razing but SCOTUS would stay the PI and allow the razing to occur while litigation concerning the razing’s legality proceeds.

In fact, he's far more committed to human rights outside of Israel than most of his pro-Israel critics. Who do you think is more likely to support cutting off US arms sales to Arab dictatorships like Egypt, Saudi and the UAE? Mamdani or Bret Stephens?
