We need a group of lawyers who are willing to take every lawsuit from every fired federal employee to the max. Bury this admin in lawsuits

I’m pretty sure this is not legal. Congressmen can’t trade and make money on their job.

Ethics maybe having to take a look

Pentagon pick left Guard after being reported as possible β€˜insider threat’ due to tattoo Pete Hegseth was barred from protecting President Biden’s inauguration in 2021 after enlisted soldiers complained that Hegseth’s chest tattoo might signify that he was a white supremacist. The D.C. N...

Pete Hegseth could not even join the Army today because we don’t support extremism in the military.

He was removed from a deployment, got out, then wrote a letter titled β€œFuck Biden”. This is not how an Officer behaves. He should not lead the U.S. military.

Dana Goldberg post:

I have shared the same bathroom with Sarah McBride on several occasions, and she never once made me uncomfortable. She did however help me fix my makeup. That congresswoman knows how to blend her foundation, which is more than I can say about Donald Trump.

No vetting at all, no background checks, and then blanket security clearances for all.

Agencies holding national security sensitive material are presumably thinking very hard right now about what material they're going to leave behind in the files on Jan 20...

Starting a phony transgender bathroom debate and hiding behind the guise of β€œprotecting women” to distract from your attempts to push through the confirmations of alleged rapists, sex traffickers, and fraudsters at the highest levels of government is peak Republican Party.

Like...do the toilets in the women's restrooms in Congress not have doors? Or does Nancy Mace leave the door open? No one wants to watch you piss, Nancy. And you shouldn't be watching anyone else piss unless invited.

Excerpt from Timothy Snyder's "On Tyranny:" 

"1. Do not obey in advance."

"Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do."

Text of speech by Rep. Jim McGovern:

McGovern: What the hell is going on here? And their cabinet picks so far? These are like beyond insane. Someone who paid hush money to cover up a sexual assault accusation, you know, to lead our military? Someone who says that tap water turns kids gay.

Article from The Hill:

Nancy Mace introduces bill to bar trans women from Capitol restrooms

Article from The Hill: Nancy Mace introduces bill to bar trans women from Capitol restrooms

This is a proposed law targeting exactly one person: Incoming trans Congresswoman Sarah McBride of Delaware. Nancy Mace is a transphobic, hateful troll who voted with teen rapist Matt Gaetz to depose her own party’s speaker, but the bathrooms. That’s where she’s focused.
