You should laugh at anyone who says the president should have unlimited power because he was elected. His power has to be limited *because* he's the president. This is fifth grade level social studies

Have the DOGE boys gotten around to cancelling

a) a single weapons contract or
b) a single Elon Musk contract?

Trump cuts only school civil rights investigator based in Alabama, leaving families in limbo Victoria DeLano was recently hired to examine civil rights complaints against Alabama schools.

Victoria DeLano is one of thousands of federal probationary employees fired in recent days by the new Department of Government Efficiency team. At the time of her firing, she said she was the only Office of Civil Rights investigator based in Alabama. www.al.com/educationlab...

I’m proud of my Representative, Terri Sewell, who fights hard for us every day.

Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

Think about it: if the detainees had truly committed horrible crimes, the administration would be bragging about capturing them, not keeping the details secret.

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicineβ€”generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefitsβ€”is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.

my view is that as soon as the administration froze disbursement of congressional appropriations we entered constitutional crisis territory

Working for the government isn't about money. Dedicated civil servants often earn less than their private-sector counterparts. Imagine knowing you could rake in a fortune at a pharmaceutical giant, but instead, you choose to dedicate your life to research at NIH or environmental hazards at the EPA.

If Mike Flynn has all our Treasury data, then hostile intelligence agencies around the world have it as well.

This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...
