Trump fulfills his threat. Mass firings on Friday ... CDC, HHS, Treasury, Education and HUD had the largest number terminated. I'm sure some MAGA will feel his wrath too.

When Republicans are pre-butting a pro-democracy rally like No Kings and making shit up left and right to scare people, you know they're losing and in panic mode.

This is the statement that will put responsibility back on the GOP

Tormented🕷Abroad @jjgass.bsky.social · 14d

Not only should the Dems refuse to cave on the shutdown; they should announce they won’t vote for a budget until: (a) the military is withdrawn from every American city where it’s been deployed; (b) the budget forbids the use of any funds for that purpose; AND (c) the healthcare demand already made.

If you look closely, you can see signs of GOP lawmakers fearing the long-term political consequences of paying more attention to Trump's demands than to the voices of their own constituents - or consciences.

It's really funny that The Art of War is treated as this like alpha male book when it's clearly meant to be read by ancient Chinese failsons because it's all "please don't forget you have to feed your troops" and "if someone asks if you're going to attack them consider lying about it"

New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday.

Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”

Of course. But I'll be surprised if Adam Schiff is not indicted before Bolton ...

www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Trump critic and former national security adviser John Bolton to be charged soon, sources say

Bolton would be the third critic of the president to face federal charges. New York Attorney General Letitia James and former FBI Director James Comey were recently indicted.

Trump isn’t just shuttering the government to raise health care costs; he’s withholding billions in critical funding for Hudson Tunnel and Second Ave. subway projects to punish NYC.

This is a ruthless plot to hold the nation’s largest city hostage. He must immediately unfreeze these crucial funds.

“YOU hit HER.”

CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)
