Reminder: Republicans control all 3 branches of government.

If the government shuts down, it WILL be because of Trump.

Trump’s administration is silencing critics, suing journalists, and targeting immigrants for their speech. Congress must act to defend the First Amendment and stop this assault on our freedoms. #DefendFreeSpeech #ProtectDemocracy @replsimon.bsky.social @schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov

Good morning!

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s
