If Biden had said this, it would be headlines for weeks and there’d be hearings.

"The Constitution, of course, grants Congress no express power to strip people of their citizenship, whether, in the exercise of the implied power to regulate foreign affairs or in the exercise of any specifically granted power." - Afroyim v. Rusk, 387 U.S. 253 (1967).

Our Semi-Authoritarian State Are we a democracy or a dictatorship? No one knows.

"No one is even pretending that the Department of Justice will conduct a good-faith investigation and, if warranted, prosecute this apparent law breaking. The law does not apply to this administration...This is what happens in dictatorships."

As a veteran, I have three different friends who worked their asses off to make sure the translators and guides that kept them alive in country could get here safely. And they helped to sponsor their families. Because we put them in danger. It is beyond inhumane to do this to them. Fuck Trump 🀬🀬🀬🀬

Russia and China, have ramped up recruitment efforts targeting US federal employeesβ€”particularly those recently fired or at risk of termination. These efforts are unfolding aggressively on LinkedIn, where adversaries are reaching out under the guise of job opportunities, networking, and consulting.

Outside the public eye, Hegseth’s fixers have used questionable tactics against his opponents. Last week, the private employment records of a former employee of Hegseth’s who was a potential witness against him were leaked to the Washington Free Beacon, a conservative Web site, which published them in an apparent effort to undermine her. The Free Beacon’s chief financial supporter is Paul Singer, a New York hedge-fund billionaire who was also a major supporter of Vets for Freedom, a nonprofit that nearly went bankrupt under Hegseth in 2008, as NBC recently reported. The Free Beacon didn’t disclose its past ties to Hegseth. Instead, it publicly outed the previously anonymous witness, who had sought whistle-blower protection from the Senate Armed Services Committee. The same day, another version of the piece about the witness, along with her photograph, appeared in Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post.

There is a massive financial campaign behind Hegseth, targeting wavering Republicans. His team is also engaged in intimidating witnesses. One former employee decided not to testify after conservative newspapers identified her publicly.

Every day you don’t call your Republican Senator and tell them how you feel about the Hegseth nomination, you make it easier for them to ignore the truth.
Make it hard for them. Demand that they hold some standards.
Call β€˜em.

We're watching a video about the Homestead strike, and how the striking workers firebombed Carnegie's barge that was sent to protect the scabs.

I hear a kid mutter, "Man, why didn't the teachers do THAT on strike?"

Shout out to that kid.

This is revealing, I think. You could look at it and see a story about the federal workforce not having kept up with a growing population, or one about it getting more efficient, or one about it offloading functions to contractors so they don’t have as many employees on the books.
