Yesterday ~68 people employed in HHS's Administration for Children & Families early childhood offices were terminated. I'm told Office of Head Start lost ~20% of staff; Office of Child Care lost ~25%
These workers process grants for preschools/childcare centers, monitor health/safety issues, etc.

You’d think that the agency’s name—“National Nuclear Security Administration”—might have led someone to at least ask, “Hey, what do these guys do?”

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand.

Who knew massive layoffs at Department of Veterans Affairs and the National Nuclear Security Administration (the agency responsible for handling America’s nuclear weapons) was how you make America great? #WeAreLosing

Trump insisted Obama was born in Africa and now has a guy who’s literally from Africa running everything.

It’s almost as if it was just racism. It’s always just racism.

It's Time to Call Balls and Strikes and Nazis Don't let the Trumpublicans do a soft reopening of Nazism.

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected.

When I think about Joe & Mika appeasing Trump so they can maintain their comfy lives, I think about Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss enduring years of harassment for simply doing their jobs.

So when Joe defends it by saying people need to live in the real world, he should respectfully go screw himself.

Ugh - has to be my least favorite place.

Holy shit you guys, people over here know the difference between “to” and “too” and “your” and “you’re.”

Maybe heaven does exist after all.

Payback is a bitch. And so are we.

You’re on notice. We aren’t going anywhere. We’re not hiding.

We’re not being silent. But we are taking notes.

If civil war breaks out, meet me at the library.

Is Trump trying to kill us? Authoritarian expert says yes. Here’s how It sounds hyperbolic, but it's not
