Many are asking what should we do now? “We use our power, organize, mobilize, educate…the American story will not be written by who occupies the White House or by the wealthiest among us…it will be written by you, by ‘we the people.’” -fmr VP Kamala Harris receiving the NAACP Chairman’s Award.

Here’s my prediction for DOGE: Whatever minimal amount of money it may possibly save in the short term will be far exceeded by the ultimate cost of fixing all of the problems it creates. It’s already an epic failure.

Looking forward to the Trump Justice Department explaining how birth right citizenship is unconstitutional but a South Africa born oligarch has the legal authority to fire every single federal employee by tweet.

I keep thinking about Trump saying that he needed the kind of generals that Hitler had.

Regardless of how much coverage it gets, Trump aiming to install a military command that places loyalty to him above loyalty to the constitution needs to be a much bigger story.

NEW: What's up with Elon Musk and Jews? The world’s richest man has adopted an approach to Jewish people informed and augmented by the far-right, with seemingly contradictory positions that are more consistent than they at first appear. From @arnorosenfeld.bsky.social:

I am a huge hockey fan and a patriotic American and I will be rooting for Team USA tonight, but I am appalled that Donald Trump is politicizing what should be a fun rivalry between two great teams and ashamed and embarrassed that he continues to insult our friends and neighbors to the north. 🇺🇸🇨🇦

If you’re looking for villains in the erosion of democracy, remember that the corporate media spent weeks obsessing over Joe Biden’s choice of footwear, but when Donald Trump declared that he’s above the law they basically shrugged and moved on.

A complete distortion of reality. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was illegal and unprovoked. Full stop. Absolutely disgraceful for a US President to utter such lies.

Having served with many career federal employees, I can comfortably state with conviction that these dedicated, non-partisan public servants are the essential backbone of our society. What Trump is doing is a gift to our adversaries and catastrophic to a functioning government.

Donald Trump is interested in the perks of the presidency, but not the work of the presidency. And Elon Musk is more than happy to fill the void.

Trump declared himself above the law today. Literally announced it. Pinned it to his feed for emphasis. The White House reposted it. All to underscore it’s not some passing thought, which would be bad enough. It’s not the top story on any news site that I can find. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Multilateral diplomacy is hard. I learned that firsthand working for President Biden at the United Nations. But engaging in difficult negotiations without the support of allies is close to impossible. And it creates a leadership void that China and others will be only too happy to fill.

My grandfathers didn’t fight the Nazis so some future American Vice President could cozy up to a bunch of far-right, Holocaust distorting politicians in Germany. This is truly pathetic.
