We should welcome in our fellow Americans with whom we differ politically.
But those who took a paycheck from the Trump Administration should not profit from their efforts to tear our democracy apart. The world should never forget those who, when faced with a decision, chose to put their money, their time, and their reputations behind separating children from their families, encouraging racism and anti-Semitism, and negligently causing the unnecessary loss of life and economic devastation from our country's failed response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
We should not allow the following groups of people to profit from their experience:
Those who elected him
Those who elected him.
Individuals who worked for the Trump for President campaign, Republican National Committee, and affiliated PACs in 2016 or 2020.
Those who staffed his government.
Individuals who worked in any role as a political appointee in the Trump Administration.
Those who funded him.
Individuals who used their massive personal wealth and influence to bundle money for Trump.

The tweet in question.
so far no link to AOC or the accountability project, or who actually owns or staffs or other than Politico alleging it sprang up because of AOC wanting to hold people that were complicit in Trumpism accountable, and an NY Post article saying that it is the project of a former Obama staffer.
lol the idea that first they came for Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnel, then They came for Kayleigh mcEnemy, then they came for me energy going around about this.
If there was some loyalty oath about advancing the agenda of DJT, I'd like to see it.The more I look at this whole non-story the more I question the whole Trump accountability project websites provenance. How and why it has been tied to AOC is a bit of a mystery to me. Surely others have said that Trump collaborators need to be held accountable? AOC can’t be the only one voicing these concerns.
Maybe we're just stuck on definitions here. There are lots of people who are technically political appointees but they survive admin changes because their work is generally non-partisan.
For the last 4 years there have been literally hundreds, if not thousands, of unfilled govt. appointed positions. For 2 reasons...
1. The current regime.chose not to fill them.
2. They couldn't find anyone to fill the seats because people don't want it on their CV. And therefore they have remained open all this time and work is not getting done as it should.0 -

The next three generations of Kelly Ann CONway’s and CYA Barr’s offspring should be forever unemployed as penance for their parent, grandparent, and great grand parent giving us “alternative facts,” four page memos and overturning 40 years of DOJ independence from investigating baseless allegations of election fraud in a direct assault on our democracy as agents of a foreign power.

Forget AOC. The sooner the dems realize younger house members like Elissa Slotkin should be the face of their party, the better they will do moving forward.

Personally I think it’s just a natural splitting of the party and that 50 years from now the AOC’s and Bernie’s of the world will be the Dems and the Biden’s and Harris’s will be the Republicans. The problem is that the current republican base isn’t anywhere near ready to accept the moderate dems. I think the extreme hatred that 24 hour news stations and social media has caused between red and blue is preventing the natural shift to the left that has happened basically since the beginning of civilization.0

restaurant in Austin and lost his 55,000 salary because the restaurant couldn’t afford to keep him and struggle through the slump so he has been subsisting on UE which is chump change compared to what he was getting and sadly there aren’t a lot of restaurants looking to hire seasoned managers at this time. A lot of my construction working friends have been hit hard as well. Stuff like this is what kills me when it was no problem to come up with 2+trillion for the big business most of which didn’t trickle down. I realize that most of this is because of Republican roadblocks, it just seems like the democrats could do more. I don’t know what Nancy was thinking not putting some alternate legislation through. Paring down the bill sitting on McConnell’s desk to something that just went to direct stimulus for rank and file Americans would have seemed like a big easy win whether it was passed or not. I hope the country makes it through 2021Scio me nihil scire
