Start your morning with two minutes of the testimony of Samuel Garcia, an average American who drove 3 hours to speak truth to power to the Texas legislature. Let’s decide that we are all Samuel Garcia. Get in their faces and make them listen. Mr. Garcia is a great American.

β€œOur Company Could Not Coexist” with Trump as a Partner Will the Republican party ever learn the lesson that people in the business world learned long ago?

Once upon a time, in 1980s Atlantic City, a casino company and an executive had a Trump problem: He was impossible to work with. So they ended their partnership and moved on. See how that's done, GOP? You should try it sometime. My latest @thebulwark.bsky.social www.thebulwark.com/p/our-compan...

Sign the Petition Encourage Senator Thom Tillis to Hold a Charlotte Town Hall

Hey @muellershewrote.bsky.social ! I’m Zach Kahn, a high schooler from Charlotte. Sen. Tillis defends Ukraine but hasn’t spoken out against Trump’s rhetoric on Russia and NATO. Charlotte deserves a town hallβ€”can you share my petition to help make it happen? chng.it/JMvwrn9Nb7

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.

It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.

They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.

I’m happy to invest and/or help

Trump thinks he's God's gift to the world.

Trump thinks he's doing everyone else a favor.

Trump thinks he's the only one who knows what's going on.

Trump thinks everyone owes him respect.

Trump's display of his self-control proves otherwise to the world.

Shameful and embarrassing.

Embarrassing.
Disrespectful.

And they're attacking Zelenskyy about his choice of clothing while meeting the Oval Office?

I don't remember anyone addressing this same issue
with Musk on his fashion choices in the Oval or at the cabinet meeting.

Exactly. Sounds like they tried to ambush and bait and switch Zelensky, and when he wouldn’t go for it, treated him disrespectfully. Gaslighters.

This is insane. If you wonder why some of us think the rule of law is about to fall, it's this.

The U.S. Attorney for DC is not "President Trump's lawyer" and its job is not to "protect his leadership" nor prosecute people who "refuse to put America first".

This AM I have re-posted stories from WaPo, the NYT and NPR. The NYT story has multiple bylines and is a thorough factual debunking of an official government communication.

You can argue about headlines and stay mad about past errors or you can realize institutional journalists are doing the work.

β€˜Time is running out’: Lawmakers scramble for a deal to stop a shutdown Short of a major breakthrough in the coming days, Congress is staring down the barrel of yet another crisis over government funding.

A Capitol Hill clash over Trump’s unprecedented moves to control federal spending is upping the chances that Congress won’t have a deal to fund the government before a shutdown deadline in just three weeks.

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?
