The Port of Seattle is empty of international cargo vessels. It's a ghost town. The last Chinese cargo vessel docks on the West coast on the 29th, and on the east coast around May 10th. After that, Americans will truly begin to know what scarcity is like.

It’s well known that I was on The Apprentice. We were all covered by NDAs at the time, but mine has now expired. And do I ever have some tea to spill. I’ll post it later today after consulting once again with my attorneys.

Reminder...

ICYMI: Today a federal judge granted a temporary restraining order, blocking Trump from “cutting hundreds of millions of dollars for teacher training, finding that cuts are already affecting training programs aimed at addressing a nationwide teacher shortage.” apnews.com/article/trum...

More of this!

1400 more firings at Veterans Affairs: "Officials said specifically that Veterans Crisis Line responders were not affected by the dismissals. But workers within the department said that support staff for the crisis line were among the workers let go..." www.militarytimes.com/veterans/202...

Elon doesn't seem to understand how the federal government works.

Latest in the rumor mail from DOJ is one career public integrity. Lawyer agreed to sign the motion to dismiss in order to prevent the sacking of all of their colleagues. Absolutely brutal Stalinist stuff from the new administration.

Trump: The US will take over the Gaza Strip… we’ll own it

I seem to remember telling the uncommitted voters that Trump would level Gaza.

So the US is going to occupy Gaza? Where are all the MAGA people who claimed Biden was going to send our troops to fight in Ukraine because he wanted conflict? I thought this guy was all about ‘America First.’ Now we are going into Gaza??? bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Trump on sending US troops to Gaza: "If it's necessary, we'll do that. We're gonna take over that piece. And we're gonna develop it."

Murray: "It is unlawful for a president to say 'I am going to decide where the money goes that Congress appropriated' ... you can't pass a law and then say, 'it doesn't apply to me.' That's what they are doing here."

🚨BREAKING: The Federal Bureau of Investigation Agents Association files federal court lawsuit against Department of Justice over the improper targeting of agents previously involved in politically sensitive investigation. For more details follow @democracydocket.com. www.democracydocket.com

1/ ❗Really chilling. Thanks to Sen. Mark Warner, for releasing Memo from acting deputy attorney general Emil Bove to FBI leadership ordering the purge. -Memo is a clear abuse of power and weaponization of DOJ -Memo bolsters FBI lawsuits filed today. VERY clear the list is for retaliatory purposes

"Stop the Coup!" Scene at Treasury.

Crowd keeps growing outside Treasury as Members who were DENIED entry speak

The start of week three:

Absolute fucking insanity tonight on Gaza. Our country is being run by a madman. Two weeks of complete chaos and lunacy.

Our coalition has grown rapidly, now standing strong with over 92,000 federal employees. We are united by our oath and our commitment to hold the line. Every day, more of us are being targeted simply for speaking the truth to America.

THANK YOU! This action is inspiring! @maxwellfrost.bsky.social @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social

“I don’t think the United States Senate should vote for a single nominee until this is over!” - @chrismurphyct.bsky.social

It is hard to imagine a bigger gift to China than what Elon Musk is doing to USAID right now. It’s the backbone of all democracy aid in the entire world. The other funder remaining now? China.

Chris Murphy: "We don't pledge allegiance to the creepy 22 year olds working for Elon Musk. We pledge allegiance to the United States of America."

Clown show

The way Republicans have been voting to approve OBVIOUS, unfit buffoons like Pete Hegseth and RFK Jr proves that either they think those cabinet positions are utterly meaningless, or they're just too cowardly to stand up to trump for anything. Or both.

We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social

🇰🇷🇰🇵 South Korean intelligence has confirmed that North Korean troops are no longer involved in the fighting in the Kursk region. 🚫 "Since mid-January, there have been no signs that North Korean troops deployed in the Russian Kursk region are participating in hostilities."

Schumer: "Today Leader Jeffries and I are joining together to push legislation to prevent unlawful meddling in the Treasury Department's payment systems and protect Americans across the country ... we call our legislation, 'stop the steal'"

Yaasss!!

2 insurrections, same President.

Trump said last week we might get to the point very soon where we pay no income taxes because of all the money coming in from his new tariffs but he keeps pausing the tariffs in exchange for things people agreed to do months ago. How are we going to pay no taxes at this rate?

The Trump administration has begun drafting an executive order that would kick off the process of eliminating the Department of Education, two sources say.

Musk Watch featured on MSNBC last night. muskwatch.com/subscribe

Not too long ago, Elon was doxing government employees on X. Where was the outcry of “You’re breaking the law” then? These employees feared for their families’ safety.

NEW: DoJ employees asked for guarantees in writing for the deferred resignation Fork in the Road plan. They were sent this. It strips the signer of the right to sue, and also says if you commit a felony, you’re not eligible for federal employment. Oh, the irony.

Members of Congress going into the US Agency for International Development!

This is correct.

This is the kind of action I’ve been looking for!
