Odd, you haven’t mentioned any impeachment proceedings. Surely, they’re in progress, aren’t they? Shirley? Bueller?
IS CONGRESS STILL ASLEEP?
PLEASE TAKE 15 MINUTES out of your precious weekend and watch this speech from yesterday by Senator Chis Murphy. It is c,ear, cogent, and terrifying.
(Thanks)
@cdarwin Who you going to vote for next time ladies?
@w7voa what a clown! #StoptrumpNow
Seems to me it’s time for Members of both Houses of Congress to stand up and appoint a Special Counsel or Special Inspector or Special Fuckface to stop this bullshit TODAY. Seventy million Americans receive EARNED, Disability & Survivor benefits through SS & SSI, and 40% of recipients name it as their sole income.
DOGE is fucking around with people’s homes, food, necessities, but Elmo won’t be finding out— beneficiaries will be when they become hungry, homeless and DEAD.
We never had the opportunity to opt out of FICA taxes. The government should not have the option to default on administrative services to ensure its obligations are met.
Isn’t it cute how these “christian” politicians seem to find the most vulnerable people to exploit and abuse in one way or another?
This crap must stop — like NOW!
@TonyStark
I’ll be 83 next weekand take 14 Rx daily plus two Rx pain meds frequently. If these or similar drugs become unavailable, or more cost prohibitive than they already are, I’ll probably just choose the least crappy way out - stroke, MI, bleeding ulcers, gnarled up with immobilizing arthritis like an ancient tree, or death by insomnia. Maybe I’ll post a survey & have Fedi choose.
I hope there’s an ambitious blogger somewhere who’s keeping a meticulous log of the numbers of people killed by stupidity in 47’s term. I think we lost count in 45’s.
@stevenrosenthal
Almost everything 47 & Sidekick have done has been unconstitutional/illegal. You’d think SOMEONE with power would have brought up the 25th Amendment and/or impeachment by now. Even without winning a congressional vote, big noise would highlight the corruption & criminality and at least raise awareness.
@Nonilex what could possibly go wrong allowing criminals to swindle innocent citizens of their money?
@ginaintheburg @sahilkapur
Snatching students off the streets…voiding student green cards without cause…
Deportations without due process…
Cutting food programs…
Cutting USAID, guaranteeing resultant deaths of mothers, kids, HIV patients…
Cutting veterans’ programs…
Cutting every other damn agency & program they’ve already decimated…
NOT A PEEP FROM A REPUBLICAN UNTIL IT HITS THEM IN THEIR OWN DAMN POCKETS!
This country — and ALL of us — are in such trouble!
@ZzyzxProton
He needs to hear “NO!” an infinite number of times from every person, group, agency, institution, country he is attempting to oppress!

Of ALL the underhanded, sleazy, disgusting, inequitable, corrupt & perverted things he’s done, this might take the fucking cake — second only to family separations, kidnap deportations & Covid deaths. #StopTrumpNow

“Trump’s administration is testing out anti-democratic power grabs and violating our due process rights. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says he’s monitoring student visa holders’ social media posts and aiming to deport people who criticize the U.S. government. Then they might come for anyone who criticizes Trump, including citizens. We must stop this fascist repression immediately and make sure it doesn’t spread even further.” —Rashida Tlaib, Congresswoman, activist, ally… #AmericanCoup #TrumpCoup #Coup #Fascism #Deportations #USPol #politics #USPolitics #Quote #StopFascism #StopTrumpNow #DueProcess
@arbres
Considering that nearly ALL of his actions have violated our Constitution by multiple variations, why aren’t we hearing whispers of “impeachment” or the 25th Amendment? He took an oath to uphold the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. HE IS THE ENEMY.
Aren’t those the two mechanisms we have to remedy this unholy mess? I know the majorities in Congress. Still seems like we could cause a bit of good trouble pursuing some action to save our people, agencies, world economies…to save our sanity.
