The FBI right now could probably use all those experienced senior career professionals with decades of investigative experience that they fired for absolutely no reason.

Democrats cannot defeat authoritarian fascism without an agenda that stands squarely on the side of working people.
We need a pro-worker, pro-democracy, anti-establishment movement that will take on oligarchy like never before.

Take a listen and seriously consider it. While this is not an uncommon practice, I am glad people are beginning to speak up about it.

As a reminder, when Trump says he is putting massive tariffs on China, or any nation, that means he is putting a massive tax on YOU.
China doesn't pay a single penny.
You, the consumer, do.

They keep trashing the journalist like that’ll fix it.
This interview makes it worse—and she’s not even asking the right questions.
Why use Signal for classified info instead of the secure government app our taxes paid for? Is this their norm? How long have they been sharing war plans like this?

But it's true.
The reason Columbia has waged war and unleashed violence against its own students... might have something to with the Dean who helped ICE kidnap a student.

A group of uncleared, unvetted, civilians have gained access to all of my federal records including military personnel, retirement and disability. They are reportedly feeding them into AI. I want them arrested and charged with federal crimes.

Let me emphasize: Elon Musk has not been confirmed by Congress. His “department” was never actually enacted. No one other than Trump has given him any authority.
Democrats and any Republicans with a spine need to step in and stop this madness.

Elon Musk is not a Federal employee or a political appointee. DOGE is not a real department. None of their activities are legal. This is a coup. The Republicans in Congress are willing participants in it. At what point do Democrats in DC get that and start acting like it? It’s not the price of eggs!

Okay. I have a very important question. What was it *exactly* that convinced them to change course? What we can't do is tell ourselves that they cared about our rabble rousing. They don't.
Something else put unexpected pressure on them. And we need to focus on keeping that going.
