Hey look, an appointments clause violation on camera.

✅⚖️

It already seems like this is going to impact every person in this country -- whether through services we use or the impact of huge layoffs on our communities -- and it has not been 2 months yet. thinking hard on this: what does it take to stop a coup in the USA?

BREAKING: The USDA, under DOGE orders, has accidentally fired staff working to combat bird flu. It’s now trying to rehire them. It follows the accidental firing of nuclear safety staff last Friday. And the accidental firing of FAA’s experienced aviation safety staff. Incompetence will be deadly.

I just today (Sunday) received a call from my forest service supervisor. I was laid off as a result of Mr. Trump's EO excising all probationary federal employees. He made sure it was done over the long weekend rather than waiting until the next work day. 1/

I will not give in to the lies. I will not give in to fear. Thank you, Jim Acosta!

Elon Musk’s Doge accused of ‘illegal’ job posting by federal workers’ union

Here's the thing about trying to justify or dismiss Musk's "awkward gesture due to his autism" bullshit. 1/

Of course ending birthright citizenship is blatantly unconstitutional. So is a third term in office. But I thought the same thing about presidential criminal immunity and holding office after inciting an insurrection. The obvious is not so obvious anymore.

Nazis: "that's a nazi salute" Historians: "that's a nazi salute" Average person: "that's a nazi salute" The Media: "Elon Musk makes odd gesture throwing his heart to the crowd."

Trump moved his inauguration indoors because he claims temperatures may reach "severe record lows," with temperatures in the 20s (those temps are nowhere near record lows). Other presidents have held inaugurations outdoors with temperatures in the 20s, including FDR, Jimmy Carter, JFK, and Obama.

I get this meme itself is a parody, but why tf is it that conservatives (the Christian type especially) feel a need to randomly capitalize words in a sentence? Or put strange parentheticals to "explain" (describe) what they mean? It's weird and off-putting.

Right. But it's the drag queens and transwomen who are the problem, right? So sick of these hypocritical Christians with their pliable morality.

So I've just been diagnosed with Intermediate Unfavorable Prostate Cancer. Is there anyone out there who has gone through prostate cancer treatment who can help me understand what to expect? I'm getting an MRI and PSMA PET scan within a week to see if it has metastisized anywhere.

If I were a transwoman living in a red state, I'd be VERY tempted to go to a pool or the beach wearing nothing but swim trunks with my breasts and nipples showing to the world. Since the GOP thinks transwomen are men, then there shouldn't be any problem with a man having his tig ol' bitties out.

Stand up! Stand up and tell them we're here!

Sometimes that's enough. And it's okay.

They should only cover the cost of the last shot since the first five were a pre-existing condition.

I am sick and tired of republicans (not just MAGAts) demanding purity and perfection of action and thought from the left while completely disregarding any sense of that for themselves. And then pretending that their blatant hypocrisy can't be seen by the rest of the world.

If you see this post, can you please help spread this information? #ASafeChoice is a referral network of physicians who provide medication abortion services ACROSS THE US. People everywhere need to know about this option. These doctors have capacity to help more women! Let’s spread word! ❤️✊

Hearing Amy Coney Barrett say there's no history of du jour discrimination against trans people is MIND BOGGLING when I had to sue the state of Illinois for the right to be a lawyer whilst trans

A scientific consensus is NOT a bunch of people in lab coats sitting around taking votes on what they believe to be true. It refers to a consensus of the evidence. If a study produces evidence that wasn't expected, I assure you that study would be picked apart at the seams before being accepted.

A regional public health department in IDAHO is NO longer providing COVID vaccines to residents in 6 counties after a narrow decision by its board of 4-3. SHARE EVERYWHERE! apnews.com/article/covi...

Who wants to take bets on when Musk's ego begins to clash with Trump's ego? Those two aren't going to play well together for too much longer. Eventually they'll disagree on something, then BAM! Elon's out the door. And what will happen to their mutual fan base? How will they split?

What a crybaby! All he needs to do is cut out avocado toast and Starbucks! And if he needs extra cash, I'm sure McDonalds or Walmart is hiring. This is the problem with conservatives. They lack America's "Can Do" attitude. www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

"Oh no! Why is the leopard eating my face?!" screams the man who voted for the face-eating leopard party.

China worried about Bluesky's popularity because it put so much money into creating influence on X State outlets put considerable resources into amassing millions of followers on X — by buying ads, deploying bots, and hiring influencers. This has now plateaued. www.semafor.com/article/11/2...

Lauren Boebert fled Cameo faster than she ran from her GED exam after someone patiently explained to her she was in violation of House Ethics rules.

TODAY’S EPISODE OF: F*CK AROUND AND FIND OUT! US farm groups want Trump to spare their workers from deportation. Gotta ask—how did the farmers vote? It’s almost like actions have consequences…

Wow, a platform that actually cares

Today, November 25th 2024 is the day we officially learned that justice in America, in fact, does NOT matter. #sad

News has just broke that Trump plans to eject trans people from the military within days of inauguration. Trans servicemembers who have served 19 years will lose their pensions and healthcare. This is obscene. They served our country, and will be kicked to the side like trash.

Tulsi Gabbard’s history with Russia is even more concerning than you think. One expert says her views are ‘so wildly fringe that her potential appointment as DNI is genuinely alarming.’

Good morning! ☀️ Roses are red Violets are blue Blue Sky’s like The Julia We’re like, yeah, WBK Designing Women ran from 1986-1993.

Wouldn't that imply that their god is dead and buried? Christians have such trouble with logic sometimes.

Did you know incoming attorney general Pam Bondi was part of the infamous Four Seasons Total Landscaping presser, which, apart from being hilarious, was to declare the PA election rigged and stolen? I did not. www.inquirer.com/opinion/pam-...

It is absolutely unacceptable to have a person who supports convicted war criminals lead the United States military. This is before we talk credible rape accusations. Documented serial adultery which literally violates the UCMJ. Christian Nationalist ties. Rabid Islamophobia. Calls for a civil war.

I don't know how they can possibly justify the kinds of cuts they're talking about without sacrificing SO many of the essential services Americans depend on?
