if the democratic party had a functional propaganda arm it could make a lot of hay of the fact that a non-trivial number of MAGA personalities and politicians are child sex offenders

No matter how many EOs Trump signs, they do not become law. Only Congress can pass laws. The ADA is law. This matters to EVERYONE. If you don’t need it now, wait.

Ominous. A tyrannical administration.

Clinical trials have been delayed, contracts canceled and support staff fired as Elon Musk’s government-cutting project targets the Veterans Affairs Department. “Lots of people don’t understand how important these roles are,” a hospital administrator said.

“Veterans will die, but we’ll course correct.”

Facts

“Scientists are already considering moving trials to other institutions, which will mean veterans are no longer first in line for participation, and could cause millions of dollars in research funds to go to waste…” www.nytimes.com/2025/03/09/u...

President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at imposing potentially steep costs on parties that seek to block his policies in court reut.rs/3F6HcMN

A chilling and fantastic conversation with the Cybersecurity Lead of the VA who was fired by Musk and DOGE. He breaks down what he fears will be the exploitation of American data by MAGA. Give us a listen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=InSg...

BREAKING: A draft executive order set for release tomorrow calls for the closure of the Department of Education. www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

WOW. Doug Collins says Veterans shouldn't just "sit there" and "feel alone," and that it's their responsibility to take care of themselves. He also accuses veterans of being incapable of understanding what's happening to their care. www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

Getting rid of the American workers who take care of American veterans is wrong. Veterans will not take this sitting down - we can make this the newest example of Trump being forced to back down from a bad move.

Now they're bribing people to resign because they know how legally difficult it is to fire people.

Also I just updated my list of DOGE Debunking stories. There have now been at least 23 stories that catch DOGE in lies about savings, etc. www.emptywheel.net/portfolio-it...

Just going to put this right here...

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Pete Hegseth just reportedly ordered the US military’s Cyber Command to “stand down” from all planning against Russia. Analysts have been ordered not to follow or report on Russian threats. One inside source said, “Putin is on the inside now.”

Can confirm. Former USAID here, and I’ve been approached twice in the last 30 days.

A lot of people are going to die from this

Norwegian firm Haltbakk Bunkers announced it will stop providing fuel to all US forces in Norway: "No Fuel to Americans! We encourage all Norwegians and Europeans to follow our example. SLAVA UKRAINA" #3E #StandWithUkraine

'Did you even say thank you?'

At least we have Pedro 🥺

Never forget this day, February 28, 2025, when an American president abused and betrayed a democratic ally in the midst of a barbaric war with Russia. This grotesque stain will never wash away.

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

Who else is in? Seems like one of the only tools we have left.

“Beattie has described those he wishes to see sterilised as “lower quality humans”, arguing that their existence is subsidised by “higher quality humans” … He has also talked about the ‘need’ to sterilise “feral populations”.” USA diplomat said this?

We all knew he’d go after the public lands & assumed he’d find a way to profit from that. I’m willing to bet that he’d sell our land to foreign adversaries. He’s made it obvious that there is nothing too unimaginable for him - no betrayal too great. 📰 www.americanprogress.org/article/trum...

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Murphy: "Let me say that again. The man that my Republican colleagues are about to vote to lead the FBI believes there is irrefutable proof that the agency he is about to lead secretly organized the violent assault on the Capitol. That is bananas. My Republican colleagues know that."

Why?

DrumpfKKKlown issued an Executive Order that claims that he has final say over judicial interpretations. That's it, folks. That's dictatorship. #BlueCrew
