In light of the disgraceful behavior by the president and vice president, every elected official, Republicans and Democrats alike, should step up to speak for freedom and the truth. If you're elected by the American people, you have some standing to try to save what can be saved of America's honor.

I think we have to agree that JD is such a sniveling little bitch.
ZELENSKYY: Putin broke the ceasefire. What kind of diplomacy, JD, are you speaking about?

This is DOGEs mission. Government enforcement, not efficiency. The plan is to undoubtedly leverage all of the data they're collecting to purge any folks in government who might object or impede in any way. New hires will be evaluated for ideological purity by DOGE.
The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

This was always the end game. With Patel's confirmation today, this will accelerate.
So much for Trump’s call not to weaponize the DOJ 🙄
It’s a blatant attempt to silence critics.

This is the cold, hard truth.
The disturbing part of Trump declaring himself THE KING isn't that he did it, it's that his followers want him to be a king. They've completely abandoned the fundamental precepts of democracy in favor of total centralized control by a new American royal, because they both hate the same people.
Trump calls himself “THE KING”

A good general epistemic rule of thumb: If you have spent a few hours or weeks studying an area large numbers of smart, educated people have worked in for decades, and you believe you have discoverer an earthshattering truth they all missed, your default should be to regard this as VERY unlikely.
Elon Musk is an idiot on an almost inconceivable scale. He had his high-school toadies pull a random list from a database he doesn’t understand, and on that basis alone decided that 60 MILLION SOCIAL SECURITY ENROLLEES, out of 72 million total, are fraudulent. 83% fraudulent!

Can't be said enough. The Dem leadership is a perilous embarrassment. They're going to sloganeer us into a fucking dictatorship.
Listen to him. It's just these stupid little slogans, over and over. They won't respond to the actual events on the ground. They think if they repeat "tax scam" and "inflation" and "cost of living" enough times, they will magically receive their electoral reward. Robot people. Throw them out.

If common sense and human decency weren't enough to convince folks this is a dumb (understatement) idea, how about the considered opinion of a decorated general who knows precisely what it would entail? The only debate is whether this is ONE OF the nuttiest ideas, or THE nuttiest. I defer on that.
www.npr.org/2025/02/05/n... — The House Speaker says he’ll support one of the nuttiest ideas to ever come out of the White House. “Seize and own Gaza, expel its people to somewhere, finish off Hamas, de-mine the strip, and finally replace devastated Gaza with a Club Med resort.”
House Speaker Mike Johnson pledges to support Trump on Gaza
House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said Wednesday that President Trump is making a bold move by saying the U.S. will "own" Gaza and vowed to stand with Trump on the issue.

@schumer.senate.gov This is how you lead.
To me, it's simple.
I'm not going to vote for or expedite a single Trump nominee while this constitutional crisis persists and deepens.
That's just a component of real opposition, but it has to be the starting point.
No complicity. Fierce opposition.

And this is exactly why Musk needed access to the SCIF. He will selectively post information to support his narrative that government before they took control was a corrupt, Marxist cabal. They need to cement public opinion in their favor.
Over on X a bunch of dimwits are posting every nonsense red-yarn-on-chalkboard conspiracy theory bullshit about what USAID funds (terrorists! censorship! woke prosecutors! campus protests!) and Elon is just retweeting each one as if they're true... leaving out the fact that they're all bullshit.
