None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple, and it is an assault on our military and our democracy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

BREAKING — States attorneys general lead by @newyorkstateag.bsky.social were just granted a preliminary injunction in their case against DOGE. The team cannot access Treasury Department payment systems or data while the lawsuit proceeds. Major.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Sassy. www.rawstory.com/trump-pelosi...

"The court kept the order in place while at the same time staying the Trump administration’s application in place — essentially punting on the issue." www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This is how it’s done.

The AP says its case is about an unconstitutional effort by the White House to control speech—in this case refusing to change its style from the Gulf of Mexico to the "Gulf of America."

Some of the usual chants at the #GeorgiaProtests: “Until the end!” “The end of winter is coming - the people’s spring is arriving!” “Georgia, revolt!” “We won’t stop, schedule the elections!”

Day 8 of the protest: reading names of ten more Georgians killed in Ukraine to pay tribute to them. "Glory to heroes! Glory to Ukraine, victory to Georgia and Ukraine", they chant.

I'm sorry. WTAbsoluteF now!? www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2025/02/10th...

Zelenskyy is one of the few leaders admired globally. Not for the power of his office, but his conduct in it. He is the antithesis of Trump, which fuels a jealous rage. And, like every messianic sociopath, Trump believes he’s untouchable. But, eventually, even the most loyal lapdogs gag.

Get out your check book, America. This is going to be massively expensive. And no NDA is going to be valid and enforceable in the absence of consideration. Good job, Elmo. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

If only we had a word for a shape with three sides.

Well now.

Apparently held the unions lack standing and should be before the FLRA, not in fed'l ct. Lawsuit continue; just no TRO. Could the employees bring a class action? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Here’s a good model for responding to this dipshit’s letters:

What the FUuuuu

EXCLUSIVE: A federal worker at the EPA sent an incredible email to Administrator Lee Zeldin. He's refused to stay silent, and has asked me to share the email - and his name - with the public. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

Do it. www.rawstory.com/marco-rubio-...

I hadn't seen this yesterday, Elon Musk saying two lawyers were "undermining civilization" which "seems like a generational trauma transfer issue." What a strange insult. Does he know their parents or something? Ah, I see: they're both Jewish. It's Musk being a Nazi. Again.

PSA: If you’re going to go around referring to yourself as the “king” of America you sure as fuck don’t get to call a democratically elected foreign leader a “dictator.”

Former Vikings punter Chris Kluwe was arrested at a city council meeting after stating, “MAGA is explicitly a Nazi movement. You may have replaced a swastika with a red hat, but that is what it is,” before engaging in peaceful civil disobedience.

This is genius.

Years before Hitler invaded the USSR, Nazi agents planted fake disloyalty rumors about Stalin’s top generals on Vienna phone lines they knew Soviets had tapped. They convinced Stalin to purge & shoot his own best generals before the outbreak of war. Imagine Putin’s FSB planting gossip today…🤔
