We will never allow Orange tinged Emperors to rule our land. In fact, we only have King Penguins here on our islands. Since you are abolishing your #USEducationDept please refer below to learn a little about our actual regal citizens

The first rule of Trumpism is to never apologize or admit wrongdoing. Thatโ€™s why heโ€™s not firing anyone or even entertaining the idea anybody around him did something wrong.

How can he be stopped? I am scared it will be impossible after he takes all of our rights away.

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. Iโ€™m a well funded investigator, and thereโ€™s no choice. Science canโ€™t function without the stability of NIH

The majority of citizens are pissed. Chuck needs to go. They are all as complicit as the Republicans now. Just look at any FB post and see the number of angry emoji reactions- the tide has turned and the Democrats did not "read the room" when the time was right. Please help us AOC!

Today's a great day for Vladimir Putin. He finally has an asset at the highest level of US intelligence, and heโ€™s laughing. Tulsi Gabbard, known in Russia as "Putin's Girlfriend", is now in charge of our intelligence apparatus. America is being weakened by Trump and his administration.

Dozens of Clinical Trials Have Been Frozen in Response to Trumpโ€™s USAID Order The stop-work order on U.S.A.I.D.-funded research has left thousands of people with experimental drugs and devices in their bodies, with no access to monitoring or care.

Of course that is the purpose of adding AI. Could potentially pull in any online interaction they have ever had to identify "the enemy within". It is Communist State level stuff going on.

โ€œOn Friday, February 7, 2025, at 11:59 pm (EST) all USAID direct hire personnel will be placed on administrative leave globally, with the exception of designated personnel responsible for mission-critical functions, core leadership and specially designated programs. Essential personnel expected to continue working will be informed by Agency leadership by Thursday, February 6, at 3:00pm (EST).

For USAID personnel currently posted outside the United States, the Agency, in coordination with missions and the Department of State, is currently preparing a plan, in accordance with all applicable requirements and laws, under which the Agency would arrange and pay for return travel to the United States within 30 days and provide for the termination of PSC and ISC contracts that are not determined to be essential. The Agency will consider case-by-case exceptions and return travel extensions based on personal or family hardship, mobility or safety concerns, or other reasons. For example, the Agency will consider exceptions based on the timing of dependentsโ€™ school term, personal or familial medical needs, pregnancy, and other reasons. Further guidance on how to request an exception will be forthcoming.

Thank you for your serviceโ€

USAIDโ€™s website has been deleted, all that is left is a note saying all personnel are now on administrative leave and personnel outside the US are to be brought home. Completely illegal, no act of congress or even executive order was signed to dismantle the agency

Defending The Truth About Jan 6th We must be relentless and never ceasing to fight the lies

Jan 6th was a violent attack on our country, not a โ€œday of love.โ€ The truth is well documented, witnessed by dozens of GOP officials, itโ€™s up to us to defend it against the relentless lies. My latest:

'He's the perfect choice!' Conservative mocks Trump's nominee for attorney general Donald Trumpโ€™s widely criticized selection of Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) as the countryโ€™s next attorney general didnโ€™t come as a shock to conservative lawyer George Conway, who sarcastically praised the ...

โ€œโ€˜This is a man who could not be hired as an assistant U.S attorney at any major district,โ€™ Conway added. โ€˜He probably couldn't be hired as a paralegal. He probably wouldn't even pass a background check.โ€™โ€

The only good thing about these horrendous cabinet picks is that they are the next line of his associates that will end up in jail for doing his dirty work. That's a way to drain the swamp.
