@RepDonBacon Sir. Thank you for standing up for people who are giving their lives for freedom. The White House bullying of a sovereign head of state is beyond the pale. Please find common ground across the aisle to restore our system of checks and balance.
@RarelyTolerated โTHESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered..."

@RalstonReports In "On Tyranny," author Timothy Snyder asserts words matter and advises anti-tyrants to not repeat the language of the tyrants. Let's stop referring to DOGE or to the Department of Government Efficiency and just call it what it is: Trump's Department of Gutting Everything.
In "On Tyrants," author Timothy Snyder asserts words matter and advises anti-tyrants not to use the tyrants' words. So let's stop using DOGE and Department of Government Efficiency, and instead call it what it is: the Department of Gutting Everything.
