There is a cost to enduring the unceasing shit storm of Constitutional crises, acts of treason, atrocities against vulnerable people, and cultic indoctrination of tens of millions of people we share a nation with. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/do-you-mis...

Good morning!

Tomorrow, it will be 8 months. It is so liberating! I can finally say, I'm a non-smoker!

This is disgusting behavior from a government agency.

The ICEcalation has ratcheted up one more notch. 🤬 According to NYT, the Trump administration has "vowed to investigate and prosecute local officials WHO DO NOT ASSIST federal immigration enforcement efforts."

They’re arresting judges now

So the Trump admin suddenly yanked visas from thousands of international students—then backtracked only after getting dragged into court. Let’s be clear: they didn’t do the right thing. They got caught doing the wrong thing.

We do a wide variety of things at NCDOJ, but restoring the eyesight of blind cockatoos isn’t on the list. Full credit to the vets at NCSU for helping this bird see again, and to the overworked editors at the N&O who sometimes put the wrong photo with the headline. Cheers to you both.

"As long as I am your governor, the meddling hand of big government creeping down from Washington DC will be stopped cold at the Mississippi River." - Sarah Sanders, Jan 2023

Happy Friday!

From Marc Murphy: "Drawn 6 years ago today. It was rejected and called unfair and alarmist."

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

Over 156 adult Americans breathe in poor air quality every single day. It is now the 2nd leading risk factor for death globally. And yet, the EPA is planning to gut the clean air act. They should be sued for malpractice, unconscionable disregard for humanity.

Good morning!

"It should have a fulsome, robust, transparent process. Unfortunately, this last budget that we’ve seen passed by the state Senate did not have that." Our Bob Phillips of Common Cause NC talks to CBS-17 about the need for a better state budget process allowing real public input: bit.ly/42N6TKy

BREAKING: Trump directs the DOJ to investigate ActBlue, the largest Democratic fundraising platform that coordinates millions of donations for the party’s candidates, escalating his ongoing attacks against political rivals. From: @jaknutson.bsky.social

This caught my eye....what?!?! I had to get them. I hope they are as good as I am imagining. 😃 #blowpop

Good morning! I sure do miss Joe.

Today a coalition of states sued the Trump administration in the U.S. Court of International Trade over President Trump's imposition of global tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. This was the seventh lawsuit challenging the tariffs. www.lawfaremedia.org/projects-ser...

“We’re leaving wokeness behind,” said Hegseth, while cutting the ribbon on his personal Pentagon makeup studio. Because nothing screams meritocracy like bronzer before a briefing.

Be the change.

Powerful story from Pete Buttigieg about him coming out. From Flagrant Podcast.

Charlotte- May 3

Not so giddy today, are ya, Space Dork?

RFK jr may be the most dangerous member of this administration

Good morning! I feel like I am dramatic everyday, but is it enough?
