I think firing the lawyers so they don't try to stop what you're about to do is the ultimate telling on yourself

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

Judge Crystal Martin, i know it's been a while since you were in law school, but maybe search "prior restraint" real quick on Lexis and see what comes up

Not for nothing, but the actions of the current administration do not seem like those of people who are concerned about winning an election any time soon . . . or ever again

I feel like I'm going insane every time I see a media story about DOGE that doesn't also mention the fact that the Government Accountability Office exists and performs the exact function that DOGE pretends to, only in a credibly constitutional, non-partisan, and conflict-of-interest-free manner

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet. They make sure we have clean water. They protect us from financial fraud. They provide healthcare to our communities. They make our government actually work for people. Do not forget this.

Sending the DOJ into chaos while also ensuring a wave of lawsuits against the federal government is pretty a bold strategy

ICYMI, the president of the United States just bought the Mayor of New York. Honestly, that's not totally horrific as our system provides myriad ways for the POTUS to incentivize the behavior of many high level politicians, it's just very on brand to do it in the most corrupt, petty way possible.

I voted for Trump. But when he said he was going to wreck the economy, I didn’t know that he really meant that he was going to wreck the economy.

Not for nothing, but DEI programming and activities were exactly what conservatives & moderates suggested were more appropriate than affirmative action. Similar to the backlash against Obamacare, an idea cooked up by the Heritage Foundation and first implimented by a Republican governor.

Shit is about to be bad. I pay very close attention to the behavior of insurance companies because it has a direct correlation to my travel budget for the next year. Today, I noticed a pattern that was nearly identical to March 2020.

I don’t think that’s very clear at all. Trump and his Nazi billionaire friend are trying to destroy government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Anyone still on their side doesn’t want to work with you ever again. And the people who are on your side want you to stand in their way.

BREAKING: Acting FBI director confirms DOJ has ordered him to fire 8 FBI executives & share the names of every employee who worked on the January 6th insurrection cases. What a world when the Nazi who wore the "Camp Auschwitz" shirt is pardoned & the people who convicted him are punished. Horrific.

Elon Musk does not give a single shit about how much money the government spends. Everything he is doing is to reduce its power to regulate all his shit-ass businesses. This should be in the first paragraph of any story about it.

I'll certainly miss the thoughtfulness, compassion, and selflessness of the Biden administration. But, honestly, the think that I will miss most is a semi-competent, functioning government.

Anyway as they pull bodies out of the Potomac bear in mind that the guiding ethos of Trumpism is that the TSA, NTSB, and FAA should be radically downsized and run by dudes whose main qualifications are loyalty are a willingness to say “cunt” a lot
