This is how it’s done.

LITERALLY EVERY FBI DIRECTOR HAS BEEN A REPUBLICAN. EVERY SINGLE ONE.

📢 “He’s trying to steal Medicaid to enrich himself. He’s gutting NASA to line his pockets with SpaceX. He’s looting everything good in America for private profit.” - @aoc.bsky.social at today’s #SaveOurServices NYC rally. The fight isn’t over. Join us: go.savepublicservices.com

Columbus Dispatch: Rep. Troy Balderson (R-Ohio) says Trump executive orders 'getting out of control' "Congress has to decide whether or not the Department of Education goes away," Balderson asserted. "Not the president, not Elon Musk. Congress decides." www.dispatch.com/story/news/p...

What a shame. Teamsters deserve better than this.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

I don't think they're doing all they can to reduce egg prices.

@anthonymkreis.bsky.social could Will Scharf be disbarred for stating such an outrageous thing as he said today that only the president and attorney general get to say what the law is? Can lawyers held accountable for things like this?

Quite an exchange here between Judge Reyes and DOJ attorney on how "pronoun usage" affects military readiness.

UNBELIEVABLE. Am I the only person who remembers who Kirill Dmitriev is? He was in the Seychelles in January 2017 plotting with Trump envoy Erik Prince, a Jared Kushner envoy, Emirati Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed and a host of shady characters who'd worked to steal the 2016 election for Trump.

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.

Ah, of course. The famous case of Schrödinger's Musk.

Go ahead. Let the people see you for what you are.

Next step is to prosecute criminal defense lawyers.

Tom Homan says he’s waiting any day now for guidance from the Deputy Attorney General on whether AOC is crossing the line: We’re looking for that clear direction so we can start taking action on people who want to help educate these people

NEW: As legal challenges to DOGE mount, the White House claims Elon Musk is not technically in charge of the effort and has no decision-making power. That contradicts Trump/Musk's own public portrayal. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

In my city there is one cybertruck and one DIY parody of a cybertruck and the parody truck has become a local celebrity. Meanwhile, I always wish I had some rotten eggs to throw at the tesla whenever I see it.

If you're an elected Dem and your entire resistance plan is to just post on Twitter and Bluesky until midterms to roll around: you are actively accelerating the destruction of our democracy and you're as big of a problem as Musk. Just resign and let someone who will fight every day take your place.

Resigning now will be less humiliating than losing your primary by 20 points to a political novice who simply makes it clear that they’ll actually fight for us.

There’s a whole book about how KGB recruited him by former agent Shvets
