I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Not cool. You pissed off a lot of people. Not cool at all

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

Oh, I don’t want him to become a martyr. I want all of what you mentioned, too. I’d also be ok with him just quietly dying of natural causes. Like his ticker just stops one morning as he’s huffing to get out of bed. But yes, accountability is better.

Trump administration plans to cut 80,000 employees from Veterans Affairs, according to internal memo The Department of Veterans Affairs is planning an β€œaggressive” reorganization that includes cutting 80,000 jobs from the sprawling agency.

Getting rid of the American workers who take care of American veterans is wrong.

Veterans will not take this sitting down - we can make this the newest example of Trump being forced to back down from a bad move.

It would take seven honest and patriotic Republicans (read: seven Republicans with integrity, respect, and a shred of morality) to stop this coup. Just SEVEN. And we can’t find a single one.

Yes, but a huge part of the military still supports TFG despite his flagrant disrespect and abuse of them. It’s a wild pathology.

Tomorrow, February 28, let’s disrupt the status quo by spending ONLY at businesses that uplift our communities.

That means:
🚫 No gas from corporate giants
🚫 No fast food chains
🚫 No big-box retailers (Target, Walmart, Amazon, etc.)

The Birth of the Trump Doctrine Lies in the 1987 Recruitment of Donald Trump By the KGB During His Trip to Moscow That Year How Trump responded to his recruitment remains unclear. What is clear, however, is that it shaped his entrance into politics and his foreign policy in a way the world now ignores at its peril.

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

USDA accidentally fired officials working on bird flu and is now trying to rehire them An Agriculture Department spokesperson told NBC News that officials are "working to swiftly rectify the situation."

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people.

And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...
