The GOP enacted civil service reform.

The GOP will destroy civil service reform.

The GOP is NOT the same party that it was. Keep this in mind when they claim Lincoln as their own

I hope our next Dem POTUS asks Sen. Kelly to be SecDef.
Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

We went from a country that defended others from being invaded for their natural resources, to a country that is now threatening to invade others for their natural resources.

When a draft dodger and a weekend warrior try to dictate military law to a retired captain of the USN who flew nearly 40 combat missions... the system is deeply broken.

Dear Congress,

The POTUS is calling for the deaths of citizens and elected leaders who have committed no crimes. It is time for impeachment, conviction and removal from office.

Sincerely,
A constituent.

The East Wing is gone.

Over a century of American history, reduced to rubble.

All to appease the vanity of a corrupt authoritarian.

A government that targets citizens against fascism and dictatorships, isn’t a government worth keeping.

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.

Do not forget this.

Last year they claimed “illegals” were voting, without any evidence.

They used fear mongering to push for voter suppression laws.

Now they claim “illegals” are getting free healthcare, again without any evidence.

So they can make healthcare unaffordable for millions of Americans.

Enough.

Vigilante justice has no place in a just society. That said, it’s difficult to claim we live in a just society when the Supreme Court rubber-stamps decisions along partisan lines, and a Justice suggests that simply being a member of a racial minority makes someone suspect.

Trump vs. the law

Use of the Alien Enemies Act to force deportations - illegal

Military invasions of American cities - illegal

Detentions without due process - illegal

Declaring fake national emergencies to bypass Congress - illegal

When you elect a criminal, you get a criminal presidency.

Article 1, Section 9 & 10 have been removed from the official Govt website on the US Constitution. Among numerous points:
•Section 9 forbids suspending The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus
•Section 10 forbids ex post facto laws

This better be a joke. Ignoring these is full blow dictatorship

Thanks to Trump's cuts, seasonal employees at Yosemite worked for as long as six weeks without pay.

The National Park Service is one of our most popular government agencies.

It's being gutted to fund enormously unpopular tax cuts for the super-rich.
Yosemite employees worked for weeks with no pay before the government hired them
Seasonal employees counting on housing at Yosemite were asked to volunteer for the park while the government was unable

When the President of the United States says he doesn’t know if he should uphold the Constitution, it should be a searing red line for every American.

If you let him ignore ANY aspect of the Constitution you embolden him to ignore more of it, including the parts that secure YOUR freedoms & rights.

No American can afford to ignore the systematic erosion of what it means to be American.

We are way past political and ideological disagreements.

What’s at stake is our adherence to the Constitution and rule of law. What safeguards all of our rights.

Without it, we cease to be America.
