This is exactly why Dems get their ass handed to them by Trump's world. They have no clue how to leverage social media algos to their advantage.

Whistleblowing is critical to exposing gov’t abuses, and OSC has been a safe, nonpartisan venue for gov’t employees to file complaints. But if Trump’s nomination of an unqualified political extremist to head OSC succeeds, whistleblowers will be afraid to come forward.

He’s 30, loyal to Trump and pushed election lies. It’s a role designed to be politically independent.

Keir Starmer faces a major rebellion from his own MPs over his Government's reforms to the benefits system. Some of the party's most senior backbench politicians want to stop the Welfare Reform Bill becoming law because it would force a quarter of a million people into poverty

He stood there on Jan 20 and falsely mouthed the words to protect and defend our Constitution.

Asked now on Meet the Press if he thinks he needs to uphold the Constitution, he says, “I don’t know.”

Translation: No.

Woe to America and the utter failure of putting this man back in our Oval Office.

Just in from mammoth interview session to two bits of news. One that a DV perp got locked up because of something I did and that a vulnerable constituent had a a massive wrongful debt written off after our intervention. This is why I came to politics, this is why I'll just keep cracking on.

At the VERY LEAST, since he accomplished nothing else to hold the leaders of this accountable, Merrick Garland needs to release the damn report and stop being afraid of his own shadow. Weak people all over this Admin is part of what got us here.

Giving the AG position to Garland was to make up for him not getting the Supreme court position during Obama. What a disaster Garland has been to the United States in the last 4 years!!
During the 2020 transition, Kaufman and Gitenstein urged Biden to pick Doug Jones as attorney general while Klain pushed for Garland. Biden went with Garland. Now Biden has told people he should have picked someone else. @tylerpager.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
