I have a feeling that the Turd Reich may have hit its high water mark in the past few days. Between Musk's dumb emails, firing air traffic controllers/bird flu researchers & park rangers, and sucking up to Putin while threatening Zelensky, Cheeto Benito is wearing out his welcome with the American people.

^^^ Nice sentiment, but I can't count the number of times I thought that ... in the FIRST term. I think there's still some slashing and burning to be done before things reach a tipping point.

Don't count on this to take care of itself.

I agree, but as a resident of the bluest of Blue States, it's not like I have to convince my Congressman (Jamie Raskin) to resist.

Hah! I was just going to suggest you call your Congressman. Call someone else's Congressman, I guess.

I actually ran into him and his wife on a hike a few months back and had a brief conversation. I really like the guy. In a perfect (non-Trump) world, he's a bit more liberal than I'd prefer, but he's exactly what's needed now.

If only we could get those peckerwoods down in the 1st congressional district to rebuke tRump and turn on Andy Harris. Musk's cuts are going to hit them hard.

It's amazing that someone like Andy Harris could get elected in Maryland.

That says more about the residents in his district than it does about him. Anyone with an "R" in front of their name and the "proper" complexion.
