I googled breaking news today and saw that the Pentagon was hit by more firings. Seems like systemic dismantling of Government to me.

MAGA enthused the self-pitying and hateful with anger, hatred and volume. There's no anti-MAGA. There should be one, Using justice, strength and vigour. And yes, volume too.

Get yourself some paladins, guys. Hell, you could even use the term : Republican MAGAs versus Democrat Paladins. For freedom and justice!

This is everything. It's what I've been feeling and thinking and I'm not alone. SO WHY HAVEN'T DEMOCRATS THOUGHT OF ANY OF THIS THEMSELVES? Are we that close to firing squads lining them up against a wall? C'MON! Isn't it their country, too?

This. This. This. I think this is how it’s working: 1) Trump is the shill, the guy distracting us with things like pave Gaza and buy Greenland; 2) Some of Trump’s moves (tariffs) are about stick manipulation and special exemptions for special people who just happen to arrive at Mar-a-Lago with suitcases full of cash; 3) the real action is Musk and his little pervs jamming their grubby fingers and drives into every one of the government’s crevices. This #3 means they can cut off funds to anyone: organizations, congress critters they don’t like, every single Social Security recipient in blue states. So we have to put a relentless and ugly spotlight on #3 without entirely losing sight of 1 and 2. Also, there is so much defeatism in the comments. I get it. But we have to assume there will be elections in 2026 and 2028 and then work to make them happen by gumming up everything—Congress and beyond—until it does. Musk/Trump are already killing people by cutting off Medically necessary aid. They will not stop. They do not care. It’s up to us and, yeah, every single Congress critter needs to hear from us and we need to fight to wine every special election and court fight everywhere.

Now that they have ever Congessioal members info I wonder how long I will be before they start examining each House Rep and Senator's financials and start blackmailing over real or spin -able finical misconduct for their compliance? I'm guessing that's the real power play. We're just an afterthought.

Unless and until elected officials in Washington are being arrested and jailed, their speeches and letters denouncing Republicans are nothing but noise. Think alexi navalny.
