People like Sir David Attenborough have taught and inspired so many and I wish that, on every day that ends with a y, we’d give them more airtime while giving those who drag us down far less airtime.

When the President of the United States says he doesn’t know if he should uphold the Constitution, it should be a searing red line for every American. If you let him ignore ANY aspect of the Constitution you embolden him to ignore more of it, including the parts that secure YOUR freedoms & rights.

“Department of Government Efficiency.”

This is why we have due process; because random people speculating about things is a terrible way to run a government. Without due process, we're all just vigilantes. At its core, that's what this is about. Due process and the rule of law. Everything else is window dressing.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R): "We are all afraid…I am oftentimes very anxious myself about using my voice because retaliation is real."

Obama: Imagine if I had done any of this. Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials. Imagine if I had said to law firms that you will not be allowed into government buildings. It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me

lol

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

RFK Jr.'s HHS cuts include the entire LIHEAP team. Read that again. The entire team.    This leaves no federal staff to help the more than 5 million households that rely on affordable heating and cooling.    Without staff, the program is at risk of grindingto a halt.

Watch Sen. Jim Banks (R-Indiana) tell a laid off HHS employee that they “probably deserved it.” www.nbcnews.com/video/fmr-hh...

“The Trump administration acknowledged in a court filing Monday that it had grabbed a Maryland father with protected legal status and mistakenly deported him to El Salvador, but said that U.S. courts lack jurisdiction to order his return.”

But just the biggest story of THIS day. Yesterday was a National security breach that in any other presidency would have ended careers and led to months long inquiries. This weekend it was the president pushing his crypto coin. But it’s only Tuesday so worse is to come.

Will Crenshaw retract this and demand secdef resignation if Goldberg releases more info that shows classified info?

This.

Fox News is now displaying photos of judges who rule against Trump while hosts and Republicans attack them live on air

Civil servant source says DOGE has made agencies much less efficient: "Work has ground down to a stunning degree and management is spending a significant amount of time responding & preparing to respond to the chaos incited by the never ending barrage of EOs & accompanying memos" Many make no sense🧵

Musk probably thought that meant it was owned by a black person.

Just imagining a string of Saturn V failures putting 1969 Moon landing at risk but Werner von Braun is spending his time cancelling typewriter ribbon contracts at the Federal Highway Administration

A Trump administration insider has leveraged a 50x Bitcoin and Etherium position bought just hours prior to the admin announcing their strategic crypto reserve into millions. Remember that crime is no longer illegal in the United States and when this administration ends they will all be pardoned.

Wow. Republican and Independent state legislative leaders in Alaska write to the state's all Republican Congressional delegation with a dire warning:

Many Medicaid recipients do not know they receive it because Medicaid is called different things in different states. The public narrative of Medicaid focuses on a distant other, but 40% of US children and 60% of nursing home residents receive Medicaid. Just SOME of the names by state are below:

When families are struggling to pay for groceries, we shouldn’t be giving tax cuts to billionaires. It’s time to prioritize the American people, not the wealthiest few.

Hi, just a reminder that when you use Libro.fm for your audiobooks, you support independent bookshops vs. large corporations that drive them out of business. We also pay taxes. And so do indie bookshops.

"The White House's move to handpick favored reporters to observe the president — and exclude anyone whose coverage the administration may not like — is an effort to undermine the public's access to independent, trustworthy information about the most powerful person in America."

Exactly. We must find compassion. People are in a disinformation bubble. Help them out of it. “I told you so” wins no converts.

@lisamurkowski.bsky.social @amyklobuchar.com As a US citizen and combat veteran, This is what I expect you to address. Not E15, not the naming of Denali. Those are important someday, when we still have a functioning democracy. The Senate should address “what is Doge?””who is doge”

Musk is firing people who operate the Veterans Crisis Line. One of the most substantial and successful tools to fight veteran suicide today. They literally did a 2014 documentary about it that won an Oscar. Can someone point me to the outrage from the MAGA “we love the troops” crowd?
