There’s only one way this is gonna get better – it’s gotta hurt everyone. All the Magats and all the people who „dont pay attention to politics“, ie 40% of our country. It needs to hit everyone hard enough to shake this country out of whatever the fuck stupor its in and take the country back. If it’s too comfortable, it’ll continue. As Churchill said, Americans can always be counted on to do the right thing once every other option is exhausted.

Man, what the actual hell? Trump’s turning a shutdown into his personal purge party—mass firing federal workers like they’re yesterday’s trash, all to bully Dems into caving on funding. Even Collins is calling it a disaster! Unions are suing, experts say it’s illegal, but nah, the GOP’s just flexing that Project 2025 muscle to gut the government.
This isn’t governance; it’s a tantrum that screws real people. Insane.

This is all by Republican design. The top priority of course is to eliminate environmental regulations. Republicans would be all but extinct without campaign contributions from the fossil fuel industry and access to their think tanks. That’s why their unamerican proposal to do permanent damage to affordable healthcare for short term government funding.

Let’s be real clear about this situation: He could have fired these people anytime before the shutdown. Oh, and come to think of it, he was *doing exactly that*. These people being fired is not because of the shutdown; it’s part and parcel of Project 2025’s stated and well-established plans.
Anyhow, release the Epstein files.

I am a state government employee that works with a federal government employee.
We both are married, 4 kids, stay at home wife.
It is very discouraging to watch him suffer through this and not get his paycheck that he relies on.
What is really interesting to me, the day he didn’t get a paycheck, the state government gave us a 13k pay raise.

Susan Collins can take her concern and shove it if shes gonna do jack all about it.

This is a slow motion train wreck orchestrated by Grindr Mike and the Orange Pedo. They will own this shutdown.

Democrats should state they won’t vote for any reopening bill that doesn’t fully restore these employees.

Donnie Dipshit and the Reich are only a symptom of the problem, the REA:L problem is the 77 Million that voted for this. Direct all your anger and rage at them, you know who they are, everyone does

Maine yall so far have 2 great candidates I’ve heard of running in the primary to get the opportunity to challenge her.

Chickenshit Collins has the power to tell Trump he doesn’t get her votes unless he backs off. But no. She continue to give him the procedural votes he needs then get self-righteous about voting against something. She’s toast in the next election.

Oh no! He did exactly what he said he said he was going to do!
I’m shocked and have no plan for this completely foreseeable outcome!

Stand firm Dems. Inch by inch citizens are finally standing up to Trump and his illegal policies. Unfortunately for the employees, Trump’s absolute lack of knowledge and revenge is now brightly on display. He only knows dirty tactics; no knowledge of how our government operates . He has no interest in working with Dems. Let your elected officials know that you stand behind their position since you are the one
Who ultimately suffers the consequences. All these years and they are
No closer to rolling out that „great“ health care plan than they were on day 1.

Kicking people when they’re down is a sadist’s dream. Saying he’s going to target democrats in the civil service workforce to fire sounds illegal…but of course nothing is illegal for him.
He’ll go out in a blaze, shooting up pedestrians on Fifth Avenue. Just because.
