An unelected shadow government is conducting a hostile takeover of the federal government. DOGE is not a real government agency. DOGE has no authority to make spending decisions. DOGE has no authority to shut programs down or to ignore federal law. DOGE’s conduct cannot be allowed to stand. Congress must take action to restore the rule of law.

The only reason I'm not full of rage is because I spent the last year getting in the best emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual shape of my life. But when the flight attendant asked me if I'd be willing to assist in an emergency, I wanted to say, "depends." Partly because I wanted to make him laugh but also because...yeah, I dunno fck that dude in 17B. Maybe I won't help him. But I said, "yes," and smiled because here's the thing... The people who elected Donald Trump don't deserve our energy, so I'm not giving it to them. They have fcked around, and they will find out - and they will blame anyone but themselves because he's given them the permission structure to do so. Instead, I'm channeling my energy into building community with all of you. I beg you all to cut yourself some slack in the coming days, weeks, months. Bigotry was never gonna go out with a whimper. We have to slay this beast, and it's going to require all of our strength, all our diversity, all our talents. I know it doesn't feel like it right now. But we got this.

🧵It’s Election Day, and I wanted to share my observances in Philadelphia as a “retired” GOP operative now working in public affairs. First, I want to talk about what I’ve seen in my own neighborhood.

I was just thinking. Maybe we should show Jeff just how much more powerful we are to his business than Donald is. Let’s pick a day and no one, and I mean absolutely NO ONE! Purchase anything from Amazon on that day. Would you participate? I’m in
