Yuk.
We were just getting around to tearing down Confederate Monuments that both glorified the American slavocracy and served as a warning and reminder of continued white dominance.

Literally this happens when you get rolled @schumer.senate.gov
Two Republican senators told me tonight this vote shows they can execute the same strategy again — cut Democrats out of the negotiations on a gov’t funding bill, pass it thru the House, and expect Senate Dems to back down and not filibuster it.

“We liked it over here,” one said.

This is a red line crossed, where the President is:
· interfering with the clients that law firms and individual attorneys represent;
· sending a not-so-subtle threat to ALL lawyers and firms who represent people or positions he does not agree with; and
· removing the actual /6

The President has both name-checked and suspended the security clearance of the pro-bono attorney representing one of the President’s “enemies.” The President has done the same for the attorney’s law firm. His executive order also directed that that agencies review all contracts with Covington /2

Are We Now the Bad Guys?
There was a time, not too long ago, when America stood as the beacon of freedom, the defender of democracy, and the steadfast ally of those who resisted oppression.

President Donald Trump and Elon Musk have repeatedly affirmed Musk’s leadership of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency. But according to a new court filing from the White House, the administrator of DOGE isn’t Elon Musk after all. Who is? No one knows.
Not Even DOGE Employees Know Who’s Legally Running DOGE
Despite all appearances, the White House insists that Elon Musk is not in charge of DOGE. US Doge Service employees can’t get a straight answer about who is.

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people.

When I left Twitter I had a 1M followers and 100K tweets. You know what happen to me when it was all gone? Nothing.

To the Twitter refugees who I see fretting about losing contacts and content by deleting Twitter, trust, you'll be fine. They have convinced us that we need them. Nope. They need US.

the Dems need to hold a press conference daily, as a form of shadow gov't, to keep the public informed. We know trump will gladly KILL ppl (see COVID), & dems must point out the methods he will use. Regrets later won't suffice, they must try to protect the public

This guy should have no role in running our government. We didn’t elect him. He’s not a gov’t employee who is accountable. He hasn’t taken an oath to uphold the constitution or work on behalf of the American people. He’s in it for himself not for us.
