I firmly believe it was intentional. Remember, this is Vought. I think he knew it wouldn't hold, so, instead, he is seeking to cause chaos, make people dread coming to work to begin with, and degrade overall capacity. Makes the final hostile takeover much, much easier.

So now the Administration are saying that the mass firing of CDC scientists, including many responsible for preventing outbreaks, was an “error” and many will be brought back.

Whether by intention or incompetence, dismantling public health will kill people.

Trump is Nixon with no capacity to feel regret or shame, and enabled by a party and Congress that won't put the country first. www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-nixo...

Trump’s Abuses of Power Show We Didn’t Learn Much From the Nixon Era

That failure is implicit in nearly every frame of a new documentary about Katharine Graham.

It is not the number of jobs, it is which ones.

And I think you know it.

Remember who they are saying it to...it is not us, not those of us who have learned not to trust corporate propaganda... they are talking to themselves, and to those older, pre-internet generations, who still think the 6 o'clock news can be depended on for anything but traffic reports and weather.

They're literally making up an enemy "ANTIFA", and the media plays it legit.

Unfuckingbelieveable. Seriously friends.

We need change soon.

Only one thing could top the honor of speaking at the No Kings rally, and that's the honor of speaking at No Kings 2. See you October 18th!

“No, Speaker Johnson — the No Kings rally on October 18 is not a hate America rally. In fact, it’s quite the contrary: It’s a love America rally.” #NoKings

What does it mean for Dems in congress to vote for funding *anything*, when the president can very literally just ignore it. Just go "nope not gonna give em that money," and refuse to spend it where the vote said to spend it?

If congress very obviously doesn't control spending, at all, anymore?

It has been upsetting watching the establishment hurl itself at Mamdani but I think the other way to read that is that there really is a *better* politics possible and he shows that it is REAL.

We could have this.

They wouldn't fight it so hard if it wasn't achievable.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.
