RIGHT WING MAGA IS MAD 😠
* Epstein and ignoring victims
* Qatar base plans on US soil
* Restructuring programs by Vought, OMB during shutdown. Blowing back on Republicans
* Trump calls "anti-fascism" concept a terrorist group
* Giving Argentina 20-billion!
* OBBB does not reduce the deficit

TRUMP WAS NEVER REALLY ABOUT "MAGA". HE is about self-enrichment, power, and privilege. None of that has to do with US citizens. He just needed your vote.

Since Watergate, both parties have recognized that using the Department of Justice to punish political opponents crosses a dangerous line. The justice system must never be weaponized for revenge — that’s the path to autocracy and authoritarianism.

Protests are Patriotic, and serve as a vital mechanism for citizens to express their dissent and advocate for change. They reflect the values enshrined in the Constitution, particularly the First Amendment, which guarantees the right to free speech and assembly.

The shameless GOP lying about the No Kings gatherings scheduled for next Saturday reveals how deeply hostile much of the Republican Party is to “the right of the people peaceably to assemble.” I look forward to our local No Kings event, and urge my fellow Americans to attend in their communities.

It’s been…. a night.

#CDCFridayNightMassacre

I’m exhausted - physically, emotionally.
To those divisions and branches that were RIFed and that we didn’t yet highlight here, apologies. We need to take a break for the night.

All of your - all of our - work matters.
We are in this together.

QUIT Immigration & Custom Enforcement (ICE), the job has changed, its actually a RACIST federal police organization focusing on racial profiling, assault, unlawful detention, unconstitutional deportation. NO JOB SECURITY, NO RESPECT, NO FUTURE

WOULD THE OREGON STATE POLICE FIND AND ARREST THIS TOOL?
- Impersonating a human
- Dressing like Sylvester Stallone
Anything!

The Miranda family (citizens) deserve justice.

Many don’t realize the breadth of cdc. They do far more than fight infectious disease and recommend vaccines. They are key to all areas of health: chronic disease, maternal and child health, gun violence, substance abuse, suicidal prevention, on and on. Killing ourselves literally by gutting cdc.

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

It's been 200 days since masked government goons abducted Rümeysa Öztürk for writing an op-ed they didn't like.

She's no longer behind bars, but they're still trying to deport her, and they still don't want the public to know why.

The U.S. government is hiding Öztürk records. Its rationale is insulting

If the government was really concerned about protecting privacy, it wouldn’t have abducted and detained Öztürk for writing an op-ed

The sad thing about all of the scary characteristics describing Russel Vought, is that he revels in it. He created the chaos and admitted to it on tape a year ago!!

Russ Vought is a theocratic arsonist in a flag pin. He cloaks fascism in budget memos, guts expertise, installs zealots, and calls the wreckage divine order.
