Is this the same guy who was complaining about Joe Biden using an autopen and not knowing what he was signing when he was president just a few days ago?

Fact: They didn’t fear what breaking the Dept of Education would do to their kids. Their kids are in fancy private schools. They are dismantling the Dept of Ed so our kids have no choice but to be undereducated and work for their kids.

Well, I’m sure completely capitulating to the fascist goons will be the end of this story. They certainly won’t be back with additional demands.

When following the headlines fills me with despair, it's comforting to cuddle with a family member who remains blissfully unconcerned about fascism. That would be Trixie (a/k/a Bat-Mite).

Judge REYES on a tear, telling DOJ she won't be "gaslit" by effort to say their ban on transgender people in the military isn't actually a "ban." She notes SecDef Hegseth literally called it a ban on X. "You're saying one thing in public. You're saying a different thing in court," Reyes said.

Free Mahmoud Khalil. It's important to protect speech, even, perhaps especially, when we don't agree what's being said. If we don't support other people's First Amendment rights, then who will protect ours? We have to all be in this together.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

Musk will fight handing this over tooth and nail—because if he actually hands over the algorithm it will reveal how much he has tampered with it to artificially dampen the reach of progressive accounts, proving he is 100 times worse than those he replaced.
