The administration is not serving or protecting the American people. It's implementing cruel discriminatory policies - gutting our institutions, firing civil servants in the FBI and other essential agencies, and replacing them with incompetent loyalists willing to carry out oppressive policies.

And that this was the most efficient thing to do. And that you should thank them."
