Thank you to Scotland 🏴 for showing up and taking a stand this weekend. We loved the signs, so many of them made us laugh. This weekend showed that the resistance is growing and that we have friends everywhere! Scotland the Brave!

For over half a century, the National Weather Service has operated 24/7. But after the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency pushed to shrink the federal workforce, that’s no longer possible in parts of the country.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.
This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

the main effect of firing 800,000 people — in addition to debilitating the federal government — would be to plunge the US economy into a recessionary spiral that rivaled the Great Recession
"If the job is not essential...obviously they should not be on the public payroll."
What does this mean?
Trump's EO calls for focusing reductions in force for employees deemed "non-essential" during a shutdown. That is 800,000 employees. The want a permanent government shutdown.

Gov. Mills showed precisely the sort of integrity in the face of political pressure that the majority of the party currently lacks. More importantly, she did so extemporaneously and without hesitation from a purple state where this isn't a universally popular position.

Trump is seeking to convince us that Ukraine is now (always has been) the enemy and Russia is our friend. In one scene the enemy changes midway during the “two-minute hate” and no one questions it. QUESTION IT NOW before it is too late.

Today, whistleblowers revealed Patel was reportedly directing those dismissals. Covertly.

Abroad, he's shut down aid & canceled malaria/ HIV programs & put 1000s of lives at risk.
Meanwhile, top Democratic leaders are tweeting about egg and priza prices. 😠
