Trump, a sociopath, enjoys inflicting pain.

Oversight Dems @oversightdemocrats.house.gov · 14h

These mass firings are illegal and have nothing to do with the Republican shutdown. Trump is just continuing his endless campaign to destroy the critical programs and services that Americans count on.

Oversight Democrats are fighting to protect federal workers and programs.

The Trump Administration Says It Has Begun Mass Firings

After weeks of threats, OMB Director Russ Vought announced that Reductions in Force across federal agencies have begun, with the White House calling them “substantial.”

Maybe will also feature many costumes, huge street puppets and people on stilts. Who knows! It is an expression of the 1st amendment.

Kristi Noem killed her puppy. Shot him in the face. Whatever she has to say is filtered through that .

Trump not meeting with XI is a good decision. There is no doubt who controls every word and action. It ain't Trump.

SHARE if you stand with Letitia James! Because I do!
SHARE if you are also FEARLESS!
SHARE if you think Trump is using the DOJ to retaliate against James for upholding the law!

America is so creative. I'd love for everyone to go wild and have fun for a change. And there is no counter response from MAGA. Pritzker should pimp out a golf cart, get a cape and crown and staff. Get the funk blasting and do a pub crawl in violent Chicago!

A peaceful protest rally under the Tom Paine motto "No Kings" is being held on the mall in Washington and in hundreds of other sites around the country. Prior No Kings rallies have attracted 11-12 million attendees, the largest political rallies in US history. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "

Driving my car around this am and passed a historic marker. It was for a guy who got shot and killed fighting against the British during the first Rev. War. He was a botanist . It will take all of us to defeat Trump.

Costumes work great. Makes MAGA furious because it's funny as hell.

These protests show how the regime is weaker than it appears. Laugh at the regime. It’s the one thing fascists can’t stand.

At MLK speech, there were people on every square inch of land from the monument to the lectern, spill over everywhere. 100s of thousands of people telling the govt. that equality was worth fighting for. Mind altering sight. We need to do that until Trump is gone .

Costumes are a wonderful protest. It doesn't even have to be good. It's reminiscent of the fun of doing a play in 7th grade . Get out there, dance, yell, make good noise and trouble. It's working!
