Ruhle: Do you consider yourselves left-wing media? Jordy Meiselas: We cast a big umbrella here, and more so than anything, I consider ourselves unapologetically pro-democracy. If you're pro-Constitution, pro-upholding norms, and pro-democracy, there's a spot for you on our roster.

DOGE quietly deleted the 5 biggest spending cuts it celebrated last week: * An $8 billion cut at ICE was actually $8 million * Three $655 million cuts at USAID were actually a single cut counted three times * A $232 million cut at the SSA was actually $565,000 www.nytimes.com/2025/02/25/u...

The GOP budget will (1) dramatically cut health care (Medicaid) for 72M Americans (2) cuts taxes for the wealthy & corporations (3) EXPLODES the deficit. This allows Republicans the excuse to cut Social Security & Medicare next. Speak out & be heard. It’s now or never!

Holy shit. This is scary. Senator Chris Murphy just revealed on the Senate floor that Republicans now have the votes to cut $2 trillion in services for seniors on Medicare and kids on Medicaid. Tomorrow is the House’s vote. $2 TRILLION IN CUTS. The worst part 👇

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Lord knows I’m not a constitutional scholar not even a lawyer (and I’ve yet to check in with @kateshaw.bsky.social) but a legal regime in which “you can do crimes if you’re buddies with the president or praise him publicly” is on its face a violation the equal protection of the laws.

SCOOP: The US Treasury claimed a DOGE's Marco Elez didn’t have ‘write access,’ when he actually did. Sources tell WIRED that his ability to alter code controlling trillions in federal spending was rescinded, days after officials said it didn't exist.

Elon’s “Department of Government Efficiency” just walked into NOAA and Commerce like they owned the place. No legal authority, no transparency—just gutting climate data access while daring anyone to stop them. If you like accurate weather forecasts and ocean protections, buckle up.

The richest man in the world officially has control over the U.S. federal government's payment system. He has no legal authority for this access. The so-called DOGE entity does even officially exist. Where is Congress as their authority is dismantled? www.rawstory.com/elon-musk-go...
