Nobody can gain admission to the Trump administration without endorsing several lies, starting with the “stolen” 2020 election myth. Good government can simply NEVER be built in a foundation of falsehoods. Never. There is no hope of any positive outcomes.

Will be interesting to see which news outlets omit his years of violent white nationalism. I'm guessing practically every single one.

The very definition of “special treatment” from the Trump admin for the most notorious convicted child sex trafficker in America. Why? Because she’s protecting Trump.

“Christian Nationalism" is just rebranded “White Nationalism“
Across states, politicians are funneling taxpayer money into Christian nationalist agendas.
This is not a defense of “religious liberty.” It is an attempt to impose state-sponsored sectarianism in the name of tradition. Read : open.substack.com/pub/demcastu..., The Wall Is Crumbling.

Minnesota had BETTER pursue state charges against the assassin. I would not put it past Trump to pardon him, as he does with other violent supporters.

I feel it all to my core. I’ve been screaming this since Trump came down the escalator.
Why are we excusing their abhorrent behavior? Musk & Trump are morally bankrupt.

Great analogy. Like arsonists seeking cheap thrills, the administration is cutting science funding to bask in fleeting political theater without considering that the damage will last generations, if we are even ever able to recover from it.
If you burn down a forest, you don't miss out on lumber for just that season. You have to replant all the trees, nurture them, and wait for them to grow.
The science and research budget cuts happening now are wanton, senseless arson. Recovery, if it ever happens, will take generations.

Generations of Republicans have internalized one of the key lessons learned from Ronald Reagan: there is no political cost to ignoring the poor
No one wins when you cut Medicaid - except billionaires.
I will be speaking with Tampa Bay area health care leaders today to call out these shameful actions from Congressional Republicans before I head to the @energycommerce.bsky.social Markup tomorrow.

A growing number of the nation’s top tech firms have hired remote IT workers, only to discover that the employees were actually North Korean cyber operatives.
According to experts, the plot tends to follow a similar playbook 👇

I served.
Veterans Day isn’t about ego, branding, or rewriting history.
It’s about honoring all who wore the uniform — not glorifying one man’s delusions of grandeur.
Trump didn’t serve.
He doesn’t get to rename what he never respected.
