Governments created the civil service to eliminate political patronage and ensure hiring based on merit rather than favoritism. This shift reduced corruption and established a highly qualified, stable administration to run public services efficiently. A Senate seat should be the will of the people!

It sounds crazy now, but in the near future it'll be cheaper long term to put solar on your roof and sodium-based batteries in your home and just disconnect from the grid. Much like the fast-dying gas industry in NZ, the grid is simply not designed for it and it'll result in a runaway effect. Soon.

There's a good reason that I lied about being refused any state security when in fact I'd been offered a bodyguard, a car & a trained driver, on a par with a high profile cabinet member. It's because I didn't want anyone seeing what i get up to and how little work I do.

The bad news is… ICE Will Murder Again. The Good News Is… There’s No Statute of Limitations on Murder. THEY WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE!

"A government that conceals its identity cannot demand perfect recognition from frightened civilians," writes @jamilsmith.bsky.social. "ICE mistook Lorenzo Salgado Araujo for another man. He was expected to identify ICE instantly. Only one side was allowed to make an error."

This has to be the slowest presidency I’ve ever lived through. It feels like Trump has been in the White House for an eternity.

Los Angeles ⚠️

Todd Blanche isn't defending civil rights. He's dismantling them by raiding and intimidating voter registration groups, targeting “political enemies,” and going after anyone who protects the vote or holds power accountable. Tell your Senator to vote NO! #BlockBlanche #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

PARAMOUNT/WARNER BROS UPDATE: Yesterday, we sued to stop the largest merger in Hollywood history. Now, we're filing an emergency motion to immediately block the acquisition while we continue our case. We cannot let one billionaire control one-third of cable programming and theatrical distribution.

Flock cameras lead to a man being falsely pulled over this week. That man happened to be automotive journalist Joel Feder who has now declared that he wants to dig deep into Flock cameras. This is why I know we will win, because people will always be radicalized towards progress by injustice.

FUCK DONALD J. TRUMP. THAT'S IT. THAT'S THE POST.

The explosive diarrhea outbreak began here.

With the president’s speech on Thursday likely to point to fake evidence of election stealing from a foreign country, I say this in all seriousness: we are probably getting close to everyone of sound mind deciding what will motivate them to march on Washington.

Trump is a loathsome delusional, bottom-feeding scumbag who thrives on intimidation.

PabloReports: What do you think of DHS suspending vehicular stops? AOC: A lot of the stuff they’re doing, they shouldn’t be doing in the first place. They should be facing consequences for killing innocent people in the streets, and they’re just trying to escape those consequences.

Not all the illegal actions by this criminal regime are... permanent. Unringing the bell though may take decades.

Hakeem Jeffries needs to go!!!

Overwhelming response to this column today. Pretty clear people are fed up with the gambling takeover of major sports - and that fans support Kylian Mbappe in his opposition to the corporate bookies. montrealgazette.com/sports/socce...

Trump is about to try to call the 2 senators from Georgia illegitimate because he's about to lose both congressional majorities, not because any fraud exists. We will not let him win. At any cost.

Thanks Reagan, for shutting all the mental institutions. Now they're all in government.

SC pediatrician Annie Andrews watched measles rip through her state and rural hospitals shut down. Now she’s running for Senate with one target: get RFK Jr. out of HHS. #USDemocracy #Pinks newrepublic.com/article/2130... via @newrepublic.com

Activism works! A must read. As of last night, there were 53,000 posted public comments on the OMB rule that seeks to codify political interference in all federal grants. An analysis shows that the public overwhelmingly rejects it. IT IS THAT BAD. 🧪 www.techpolicy.press/the-public-r...

I was out going for a bike ride and it was above 100 degrees. A middle aged Hispanic woman had a makeshift cart selling tamales on the side of the road. What an incredible work ethic. How many of us would be willing to do this? #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

A ship spilled 5000 gallons of diesel into Elliott Bay which is the large body of water west of Seattle…that’s major.

The anti-black racism needs to end. The Argentinian team is all white Italians and no one bats an eye. 60%-70% of France team have one or more black parents & idiots say they aren't French. They are. Messi is 100% Argentinian just as Mbappé is 100% French. What matters is how we act, not skin color.

This situation exemplifies the notion that "you have not yet witnessed the full extent of what is to come."

We will not let Todd Blanche dismiss or ignore Epstein survivors. In May, he told us he would meet with survivors whose private info was released by the Justice Department. That meeting still isn't scheduled. @vanhollen.senate.gov and I are demanding answers.

An American president being found liable for sexual assault is a national disgrace. It’s a stain on the country that will never wash out.

We’ve just received word that Jake Lang and the Proud Boys are headed to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Los Angeles. Everyone in the area please show up and make them hear you.

Mike Johnson will flee the country.

Oh, look! Two countries that commit war crimes don't like being held accountable. Who'd have guessed?

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo Joan Sebastian Guerrero Ruben Ray Martinez Alex Pretti Renee Good Dozens of other innocent lives. These deaths aren’t mistakes. They’re the result of choices. Policy choices. Funding choices. Choices to not hold this Administration accountable. It’s time to SHUT. IT. DOWN!

People don't want masked thugs terrorizing their neighbors. They don't want warehouses being turned into detention centers. They don't want billions of taxpayer dollars spent on a rogue police state. They want healthcare. They want affordable homes. They want their basic needs met.

I am so tired of this stupid, lying asshole. hormuzstraitmonitor.com
