Wow. This is major news. Judges discuss moving the U.S. marshals from the executive to the judicial branch. Not only would they protect judges from trump threats, but it would also make it easier for courts to order marshals to carry out court orders.

For those of you who knew Victoria Brownworth on Twitter, she passed away from cancer yesterday. She was a fearless journalist who reported on AIDS in the 80s (when Reagan was ignoring it), lifted up the LGBTQ community, & rooted out corruption. Her wife, Maddy Gold, died of cancer in 2022.

This does not sound good, if true… what is the rational behind killing one of the most successful enterprises in this country - and I mean, science? 🧪 www.science.org/content/arti...

🧪NIH grant terminations. $1.81B cut in 39 days. NIAID saw the largest dollar amount cut. NIMH and NIMHD had the largest number of cuts. From Liu et al., doi:10.1001/jama.2025.7707

Here it is. A timetable of 100 days of corruption. Breathtaking. Heartbreaking. We cannot let this stand.

Your kids get a max of two toys and then grow up to work in the same factory as their father and grandfather screwing in tiny screws. It’s called The American Dream.

Did he take his doge crew with him. Costing $4mm/day?

“Microsoft Drops Law Firm That Made a Deal With Trump From a Case”. The first but not the last. Who would want a law firm that doesn’t fight for their clients?

A eugenics move to disappear autistic people. He is so utterly ignorant, he’s frankly not worth the electrons to reply.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: When we see people being pulled off the streets, when we see students at universities being grabbed, detained, and kidnapped, and when we see Kristi Noem filming this disgusting video, we’re looking at a nation we no longer recognize. We don’t want to be like that nation.

UMASS IS RESCINDING ALL GRAD POSITIONS FOR THIS YEAR

Yay!!!!!

They never want to have free and fair elections again. That's the end game. Right wing rule. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Every recent Trump admin story can be explained with malicious laziness. Why use an unsecured group chat for war plans? It’s easier. Why deport innocent people? It’s quicker. Why solve waste by firing everyone rather than using forensic accountants? It takes less thinking. All malicious laziness.

Not sure when the penny is going to drop that this dude means what he tweets, does and sig heils www.nytimes.com/2025/03/14/t...

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

So if Musk doesn’t run DOGE, and DOGE isn’t a real government agency, then no one has to listen to Musk or do what the DOGE bros tell them to do, right?

The Trump official currently dismantling USAID was caught in a secret meeting with a group of pro-Russian separatists in the Balkans. Those he met with are under American sanctions for trying to restart the Bosnian war in the name of Christian nationalism. 1/

This is all a good reminder that, “no help, no votes until the criminal conduct stops” is neither a big ask nor a politically perilous one.

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

Normalize pronouncing DOGE as DOUCHE.

What’s to stop them from Non-compliance? Who would “prosecute” them?

And so far it’s only cost $7,000,000/week to have done a 5 second Google search. But then, they couldn’t have changed the code for Treasury funding, right?

Wait. Have @doge and Elon just been pulling numbers from usaspending.gov ? Then releasing it as if they discovered it ? Brilliant if true. Absolutely brilliant. Fooled me. Very Trump like too. Any usaspending.gov experts out there that can tell us ?

DEI explained

You have to answer, @rokhanna.bsky.social , why didn’t you vote to subpoena Elon??? It could have happened but for your non vote.

Of course it’s a coup. Miss the obvious, lose your republic. open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

He really needs to clean up the mess he made.

Nuremberg, I hope.

I can. In fact, the Canadian version is so great, I can't think of an American equivalent. 🧵

Looks like a urinal to me.

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