Dear @Doge If there is nothing to hide. Hide nothing

Bravo, Rep. Marc Pocan !

BREAKING: The US State Department flag has been spotted flying upside down—a universal signal of distress.

Now the whole country gets the experience of what it's like when private equity buys the place you work

Sometimes you just have to say “fuck you” with a flourish

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever done to get the shot?

Eyeing? For fucks sake. If you want to hold your position stop being scared of your own goddamn shadow.

Since the FBI appears to be the only agency that is both still functioning and not headed by a lunatic, the Washington Field Office needs to open an investigation into the breach of the computer systems at Treasury, stat

The DC control tower was understaffed. There was only one controller, controlling both helicopters and planes. Those are supposed to be separate jobs. We need to investigate whether Donald Trump's hiring freeze last week played a role.

Is somebody keeping a Trump death toll?

Trump's plan to fix Social Security is to starve to death every person who receives Social Security benefits, thereby reducing the amount of funds Social Security pays out.

NEW: The Chairperson for the Council of Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency has sent a letter to the OPP advising they consult White House Counsel on the legality of ousting 17 inspectors general. 👀

If you were a foreign adversary trying to destroy America without waging war, you’d do exactly what Donald Trump is doing.

If you were a foreign adversary trying to kill as many Americans as possible without getting caught, you’d do exactly what Donald Trump is doing.

Because I think we could all use a little good news right now

The folks obsessively posting about egg prices for the past few years have gone strangely quiet just as egg prices hit an all-time high.

I understand everyone’s ire and urge to talk about things, but do y’all think you could maybe do it without posting quite so many swastikas?

"What should we make electric cars sound like?" "A choir of wailing ghosts." *everyone laughs* "Okay, but really, guys." *nine hours later* "So we're going with the choir of wailing ghosts?"

Thank you for speaking truth to power through love, Rev Mariann Edgar Budde. The kind, just people of this world see you and appreciate you.

This is your mission. We take our power back now at the local and state level. Stop waiting for a national hero. It’s you. Get to work.

Anybody notice how Trump seemed delighted to talk about the people in LA who lost their homes? He said it was "very interesting" with a smirk. #fires #la

Stop using the word CAN’T to describe something he just did. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

BBC not buying the gaslighting

Best thing our allies can remember: if you stand up to Trump you intimidate him and he will back down. If you crawl to him (like his sycophantic politicians) he will not respect you and will eventually throw you under the bus.

Keep your eyes on Usha Vance!

Epic courage here.

New evidence has emerged from The Insider that Russia did indeed offer bounties to kill US and coalition troops in Afghanistan. A reminder that Trump downplayed and protected Russia in 2020 when the NYT broke the story

My response to Trump’s remarks in the Capitol Visitor’s Center:

When your enemies are doing something very unpopular, don't stop them.
