We're no longer capable as a nation of this level of decency, honor, and class

Good news! And watch out, what‘s going to happen is Trump and Musk are going to use more underhanded means to ignore the court order. Will it be bans on paperwork like the Federal Register? Fired grants funding staff? Verbal orders to screw up sign offs?

This is part of what’s so insane. As they talk about re-shoring and manufacturing they are actively trying to destroy an entire us manufacturing industry that already exists.

A relief to hear this said. Trump operates from the same untested, blustering ideas he had in the 80s. They weren’t good then and even less so now. It would be great if BUSINESS LEADERS were prepared to say what they clearly know - that Trump only knows how to run a muscle racket. And here we are.

Please don't fall for this. Elon Musk is currently bankrolling the entire Republican Party at a level no political party in US history has ever experienced. The idea that he's not going to have exactly the level of control over policy that he wants is frankly absurd and patronizing. This is optics.

SENATOR BOOKER HAS BROKEN THE RECORD. He’s giving a tour de force on the floor of the Senate. His eloquence in showing the hypocrisy, the danger, the disaster of the Trump-Musk-DOGE regime, he’s done an amazing job. He's channeling the emotions so many are feeling.

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

GOVERNING is negotiating with the other side when you need 60 votes and you only have 53. Refusing to negotiate when you don’t have the votes is incompetence. That is why Republicans can’t govern.

BREAKING: France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain & UK sign a joint statement vowing to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty & demanding a role in the peace talks. This is leadership. It’s also unprecedented. A western alliance is having to form against a new, twin & united threat: Trump & Putin.

"The core issue is that Musk and Trump are acting as if they hold absolute power, even though they do not," says @chrislhayes.bsky.social. "They are, in that sense, bluffing. But it's a bluff they want to turn into a new reality, one that destroys the American constitutional order."

The AP should stop covering Trump events. Instead send those White House reporters out into the field to report on the harms and repercussions of his policies. The U.S. public never needed coverage of pseudo-events anyway.

The erasure of the Jan. 6 records comes while the administration is also seeking to whitewash the teaching of U.S. history, threatening to withhold funds from schools that teach about America’s troubled history of racial and gender discrimination. By @alecmac.bsky.social

1. It’s WSJ reporter. 2. Even when the Trump Admin fires one of their own, it is The Media’s fault. We made them do it. 3. Americans have a right to know the names of people running the country. 4. This is a time for journos to be fearless because this is part of the deal now.

Please remember something: if you had said a year ago that Trump would do even a fraction of these things, you would have been mocked, belittled, accused of “Trump derangement syndrome,” and dismissed by certain people. Identify those people and block and shun them.

When someone expresses genuine regret voting for Trump, the best thing we can do is welcome them into the fold. We're not gonna get anywhere with ridiculous gatekeeping and pettiness. Let's offer folks an off-ramp into the coalition of reasonable adults.

We desperately, urgently need a media that isn’t afraid to name this as the evisceration of the federal government. That is what is going on. We cannot only be comfortable using such language when the situation is far away in time or space. It’s happening here. We need to be clear.
