Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

So the White House "staffer" who just posted the most racist post in the history of the digital-age American presidency is going to be named and *fired*, right?
Right?
Right?
And media will follow up on this? Because there *definitely was* a "staffer" behind this misconduct?

Here's what Dems should do:
1) Double down on the demands.
2) Make clear there will be no additional funding.
If the GOP wants to shut down DHS, that's on them.
Don't surrender to pushback from these goons. Take inspiration from the people of Minneapolis.

Can we not know the name of the alleged staffer posting racist shit from Trump’s account, or would that be “doxing” too?
1. What is this person’s name?
2. How many of Trump’s posts, which impact the markets & foreign policy, are being made by this person?
3. Have they been fired?

New, from me: Trump finalized his Schedule F policy, allowing him to remove job protections from career civil servants.
The new rule is dishonest and unmoored from reality in its effort to formalize the politicization of the federal government 🧵

A few years ago, the IRS got additional funding. What happened? More audits of wealthy tax cheats and better customer service for everyone else.
Fast forward to now and the IRS is so understaffed and underfunded that it’s using HR employees to process tax returns.

The Trump era exposed how badly Congress erred over decades by granting the president emergency powers in certain situations while also making the president the one who decides when we’re in those situations.
