Pete Hegseth is obsessed with the keeping media from discovering his bumbling incompetence. His solution to that is a new order seeking to deny press access to DOD and hunt down employees talking to the media. The Pentagon Press Assn is fighting back. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Musk’s team was caught using a customized version of the Grok chatbot, without approval, to sift through sensitive government data inside the Department of Homeland Security. They used a modified version in an attempt to hide the fact that they were doing it.

Stunning. May was brutal for Trump in federal court: 96% loss rate ⚖️. Even GOP-appointed judges have ruled against the admin 72% of the time. District courts are doing their job defending the Constitution. Soon the Supreme Court may be the only court unwilling to defend the rule of law.

He enjoys domination and exercising power over the weak, so he loves the moment where he gets to say “We’re gonna hit you with 50%” and everyone gasps in shock and he gets to watch people suffer and he gets to feel strong. It’s about dopamine and if he stops pushing that button the dopamine stops

If you've been hearing people tell you to call your senators & you keep putting it off - today is the day to do it anyway. Trumps agenda cannot pass. They snuck in a castration of the courts ability to hold members of the executive branch in contempt. This is the LAST check on power that we have!

House Republicans passed their bill that’d rip health insurance from millions and take food assistance away from millions including households with kids as young as 7 in the largest Medicaid and SNAP cuts in history - while giving giant tax cuts to the rich.

Republicans don’t cut deficits. They add to them. They complain about “runaway government spending” and stick it to the poor while slipping millions of $$ to their super-rich donors.

Tonight’s bill is part of the regressive movement’s strategy to cull the population & subjugate the survivors. A few weeks ago Yarvin complained that Trump & MAGA were not acting quickly enough, tonight was a blitzkrieg of inhumanity. We need to practice resistance and act faster through stigmergy.

The “big, beautiful” bill ain’t beautiful—it’s bullshit. House Republicans just voted for the largest cut to SNAP & Medicaid in U.S. history—turning their backs on their own damn constituents: the working people they were sent here to represent. They don’t serve the people. They serve the rich.

Like plaintiffs' lawyers, I am extremely skeptical about this idea, in part because anyone denied a credible fear interview has a right to appeal to an immigration judge and a right to consult a lawyer prior to that hearing. And they are literally all on a plane together with no privacy.

A new analysis estimates the Trump/GOP budget's rollback of clean energy tax credits will eliminate nearly 830,000 jobs by 2030 and raise energy prices by 50% by 2035. Just another way the "big beautiful bill" will make the economy worse and your life more expensive.
