Another must read resignation letter
“…I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it.” My latest in @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/honoring-a...
Time for the UN to be moved to France
The fathers, sons, mothers, daughters abducted by Trump's Big Balls Goon Show are then held indefinitely in dire and inhumane conditions. One bean burrito a day for food. 90 people in a room with no beds. No bathing for a week. #bigballsgoonshow
He wishes he could get that close to my genitals
Another absolutely scathing must-read resignation letter
DOGE isn't fighting fraud — it's potentially exposing Americans to more of it. And now a Social Security Administration whistleblower is resigning after apparently being punished for trying to warn the public. Nothing about this fake government agency is "efficient."
That’s why I’m watching the US Open 🎾
Current, continuous mood:
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
Yeah, no way he makes it until then.
Learn to decipher the codespeak.
Excellent question.
Right? The very things he say are bad is what this administration is doing at the same time: christofascism
These recent resignation letters are very important for Americans to read.
A federal judge has ordered Florida to shut down "Alligator Alcatraz," after the state spent a staggering $218M to build the now-vacant detention camp. Closing it will run taxpayers another $20M. An utterly cruel and costly waste.
there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
That was in his letter if you read it.
Hey kids, who needs ADHD medication when there’s HEROIN?!? - someone who told you not to take medical advice from them and they were right on that point
This is a real photograph of Washington, DC this week, where the United States president has ordered military occupation in peacetime, and ordered the display of colossal portraits of himself. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
Here he goes.
He did the same 💩 at HHS in the first month of the administration.
Starbucks CEO pay: $96 MILLION Starbucks worker pay: $15,000 Coca-Cola CEO pay: $28 MILLION Coca-Cola worker pay: $14,000 CEOs used to make like 20x the average worker. In 2024, the average CEO earned 632x more. The system is rigged.
Maybe the fired CDC scientists should form a vaccine Underground Railroad
Ain't no way RFKJ wrote this when he literally called us "troubled" only a few hours ago. Sorry, anon comms person/maybe the AI forced to write this drivel... We just added a few notes. Anything to be helpful! ✨😊😇
Daskalakis: I very specifically use the term pregnant people, and very specifically added my pronouns at the end of my resignation letter to make the point that I am defying this terrible strategy of trying to erase people
Scientific American: For 20 years, Denmark conducted a large and meticulous study of whether aluminum in vaccines caused chronic childhood diseases. The data was clear: It did not. Malignant crackpot RDK Jr wanted a retraction of the study. The Annals of Internal Medicine said no.
Pay attention. Your family’s safety is on the line.
When Laura Ingraham was a student at Dartmouth, she attended a meeting of the Gay Student Union and wrote down the names of the attendees, which she then published in the student newspaper. This was a time when it was very dangerous to be outed as gay. She is a dispicable, vile person.
"Ashli Babbitt was a grown ass adult who made a series of conscious, ill-advised decisions to engage in treasonous behavior, and she got exactly what she deserved. She was a traitor. She was a threat to national security. There is no nuance needed here."
Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadn’t happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.
It’s outrageous that Sec. Kennedy is trying to fire the CDC Director — after only a few weeks on the job — for her commitment to public health & vaccines. The Sen. HELP Committee must hold a hearing with Kennedy & the CDC Director as soon as possible. Vaccines save lives. Period.
It's time to remove Robert F. Kennedy Jr from government before he kills us all
AMERICA: “It’s a mental health issue.” REST OF THE WORLD: “We have those. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA: “It’s video games.” WORLD: “We have those too. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA B: “It’s cause they took Jesus out of the classroom.” WORLD: “God, you’re stupid.”
CHAOS ERUPTS AT CDC CDC Director Susan Monarez has been ousted after RFK Jr. demanded she change her policy on the COVID vaccine. Top officials from the Vaccine Unit, Zoonotic Division, and the Chief Medical Officer are resigning, per reports. Horrifying news for public health.
wtf is this nonsense? He thinks he can understand kid’s “mitochondrial challenges” just by looking at them? This is an insane person.
Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500. Remember this before you order your next pumpkin spice latte.
I had serious doubts about CDC Director Monarez’s willingness to stand up against RFK Jr.’s personal mission to destroy public health in America—I’m glad that I was wrong. If there are any adults left in the White House: we cannot let RFK Jr. burn what's left of CDC. FIRE HIM.
What does race and gender have to do with it? Everything. Trump knows racism and sexism rile up his base & divide our coalition, blinding us to the real threat: an attack on the Federal Reserve. Watch. Share. Spread facts further than their lies. @katiephang.bsky.social #WaitADamnMinute
Dr. Jen Layden, Director of the Office of Public Health Data, Surveillance and Technology. She oversaw the data modernization efforts at CDC, a massive investment since 2020. For an administration interested in AI and tech they have pushed out the CDC lead with the most experience. (No email)
Breaking: Kilmar Abrego García has just been detained by ICE after arriving at the agency's Baltimore field office as part of a required check-in, according to his attorney. "The only reason to take him into detention was to punish him."
“I will not interfere with access to vaccines.” 💣 Fires entire ACIP panel and appoints nutters 💣 Works to disband USPSTF 💣 Removes kids from COVID guidelines 💣 Threatens pediatricians who vaccinate children according to AAP guidelines It’s time for him to go. FIRE RFK JR #firerfkjr #savehhs
I’ve heard military law experts advise, if you are given an illegal command as a soldier, do not blindly obey. Call your attorney. Obeying an illegal command can result in a court martial.
Between Kilmar Abrego Garcia and the DOJ official who tried to extort a plea out of him with threats of trafficking him to Uganda, there is someone who committed a crime. But that someone isn't Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
With this headline, if we didn’t know before, we now know without a doubt that we oughta leave this world behind.
Neil deGrass Tyson: "How sad it must be believing that scientists, historians, scholars, economists, journalists devoted their entire lives to deceiving you, but a reality-TV star proven in court to be a lying felon is your beacon of truth & honesty"
Arrested for filming it. And look how excited they all are to get some *action*. 🇺🇸 Watch fascism work.
“I was r*ped sometimes 3 times a day on that island… and I was not the only girl on that island… Ghislaine must die in prison, because I’ve been in hell and back for the last 17 years.” Listen to the survivors.
Virginia Giuffre's family: "The content of these transcripts is in direct contradiction with felon Ghislaine Maxwell's conviction for child sex trafficking. During DAG Todd Blanche's bizarre interview, she is never challenged about her court-proven lies, providing her a platform to rewrite history."
Threatening to traffic Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda if he doesn't plead guilty is extortion, not justice. If the corrupt and incompetent Pamela Jo Bondi had evidence of a crime, she would have the DOJ prosecute instead of making threats. apnews.com/article/abre...
Or that think it’s ok because he’s an immigrant!! They’re even worse!
Cruelty is the point. The Trump regime knows Kilmar Abrego Garcia is innocent. They know they messed up and are lying about it. Just to prove a point, they are trying to rip this man from his family and send him to a country he has no connection to. This is fascism.
John Bolton: “The historical verdict on Trump will be devastating. It’s rare to see one person being so destructive. He’s more like a vandal warlord than a constructive president. That’s what history will judge him on very severely.”
The DOJ released the security video of Epstein's jail in parts so they could take out anything inconvenient. The DOJ released the Maxwell/Blanche transcript in parts so they could take out anything inconvenient. Such an obvious cover-up.
🚨BREAKING: Hours after Texas passed its new map, my law firm has challenged it in federal court. In addition to violating the VRA, HB 4 violates the 14th Amendment because it unjustifiably considers race and partisanship as part of a voluntary, mid-cycle redistricting. @redistrictfdn.bsky.social
Trump says Mayor Muriel Bowser “must immediately stop” reporting DC’s actual crime figures or “bad things will happen.” This is peak authoritarianism. Do not normalize it.
There’s a reason I’d be utterly depressed even if I weren’t a fired Fed. But I am so these constant assaults make it even worse. Today the officer was laid to rest to died protecting CDC and this week they permanently fired hundreds more employees.
Watch @kendallyb.bsky.socialtalk show was how Kristi Noem is living rent free in military housing that is reserved for coast guard leadership in order to better hide her affair with Corey Lewandowski. This is causing a ripple effect to active duty service members not getting base housing
This is so important… Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles. In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected. REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency. @governor.ca.gov 🧵
BREAKING: Kilmar Abrego has been RELEASED from prison and is headed home to Maryland to be with his family. Judge Xinis has an order in place requiring a 72 hour notice if ICE decides to detain and deport him to a third country. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
Some people can no longer serve as they were removed on Monday. Gave them a mercy week after the shooting. Cruelty IS the point after all.
Masked raids are tools of fear, not freedom. Despite what this administration wants you to believe, they are not about “safety.” They are about letting ICE agents hide from accountability while carrying out inhumane acts.
Here’s the link to the article: www.propublica.org/article/vide...
What happens after CDC is the target of a terror attack inspired by RFK Jr? CDC staff are receiving calls from assholes who play audio of gun shots. We don’t know who these people are. But we know who inspires this behavior. It’s time to FIRE RFK Jr.
I grew up with my mom playing him on the radio and even as a child I remember thinking ummm that doesn’t sound right.
There’s one old man in particular I do wish dead…
"At home and abroad, the U.S. government is participating in starving people, particularly children, and calling it policy. It’s more than policy, though. It’s woven into the fabric of this country since its inception." Read our latest op-ed from @thetattooedjew.com ⤵️
Oh no! Anyway…
FUUUUUCK OOOOOFF ICE! I hope you never get a good haircut in your life ever again
The John Bolton situation is now proving why capitulation is not a solution. Giving in to stay close to power does not work with those who only care about their own self interests.
Check this shit! Earlier today, ICE tried to break into private property in Lynwood, California — no judicial warrant, no authority. Acting like thugs, not federal agents. Spoiler alert: Lynwood does not play. This trio of goons got sent packing.
Here is how the media should be reporting this morning's news. As part of a growing pattern of political retribution, Donald Trump's FBI has raided the home of a prominent administration critic. In this instance it happens to be John Bolton. The pretense is largely irrelevant.
I hope he does. That will strengthen my asylum claim to Canada
It’s not just that. He’s releasing pedos and rapists left and right!!!
Where I live it’s definitely not time to switch to anything hot yet unfortunately
Only if done well. His is really good. Done badly, it’s just embarrassing.
Make America Pregnant Again. I’m 💀
I’ll remove the sticker when you remove your mask
They say phones only make us miserable but I just got this news alert and laughed for a solid minute so who is to say
Yeah that’s the joke. There’s a famous segment on a Jordan Klepper special on MAGA where someone claims Obama wasn’t even in the WH implying who knows what. It’s mind boggling how stupid some of these folks really are.
📌"Russia, if you're listening, I hope you’re able to turn over the Epstein Files to the world ... I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.”
Meanwhile at CDC it took 500 bullets to offer telework
A week and a half ago, a shooter emptied hundreds of bullets into a federal building
Gone far too late
Slavery was bad.
Meoooowwww
As are we
This admin’s policies are stifling jobs and growths BIG time!!!! Fuck that trickle down noise! They want another The Jungle out here!!!
Garcia: What I can say is that I want the American public to hear what Bill Barr said in his deposition — about how he views the current DOJ’s actions, and Todd Blanche’s actions as they relate to this deal with Ms. Maxwell. The American public should know what was said
This was how I felt on Nov 5th. It’s so far beyond that today…
Are they going to investigate the woman who lost her fetus because she drank raw milk?! Isn’t that sus?
🧵Ahmed Kamal Junina is a linguistics professor in Gaza. He writes about trying to teach while starving. “To generate knowledge in the context of hunger is to think through pain. To teach students who have not eaten and still tell them their voices matter.” tinyurl.com/toohungrytot...
Because… MAGA will believe anything!
Dear Smithsonian.......send your historical records to Canada before they're destroyed.
And then they return pedophiles and sex traffickers to their home country (like Israel or the US, or elect them president!
"White nationalists pervade law enforcement" "One-third of all Americans killed by strangers killed by police" "FBI warned of white supremacists in law enforcement 10 years ago. Has anything changed?" "Nazi ties to be erased" 10,000 family dogs killed by police every year (DOJ: "epidemic")
