Last week Trump had to withdraw this hack’s nomination to head BLS, along with another to head the CFTC. All it took was the slightest bit of spine from a couple R Senators, and that was thanks to the huge pressure exerted by folks like you.

So keep it up, they’re feeling the heat 💪💪💪

Soooo not only does the guy they nominated to oversee most government economic statistics, either not understand or regularly lies about such statistics, he also was big into Project 2025. And that huge picture decorating his office wall? Those are Nazi warships.

To those few who spend your days reply-guying things that you think are clever, tearing down anything Dems say or do, maybe go to a protest or organize something. Just go do something useful. You are spending too much time online. There are constructive things you could be doing. Just sayin’.

Chuck Schumer says “no f*cking way” to #Trump and the #Republicans trying to take away your health care.

Chuck Schumer @schumer.senate.gov · 6d

The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you.

And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it.

This is not about politics. It's about people.

Let’s break it down:

Just hope all those involved in the criminality, corruption, and cowtowing to this government realize that we're taking notes, and there will be appropriate consequences when the time comes

Today a judge said what has been clear from the beginning: the evidence shows the Trump Admin is vindictively punishing Mr. Abrego Garcia for having the audacity to pursue his due process rights.

Those rights MUST be upheld. This is not about one man — it’s about ALL our rights.
