Build the wall! Around DOGE!

Everybody is afraid. FBI agents are afraid. And that is so telling since the FBI is NOTORIOUSLY conservative leaning and most of the THOUSANDS of people Trump is about to fire likely voted for him.

Senate Democrats launched a new portal for federal employees to blow the whistle on illegal or illicit activities being done in the federal government under the purview of Donald Trump, Elon Musk, or DOGE.

FYI: I can most definitely push our democratic leadership to fight while still supporting the party and committing to vote for Dems all the way down the ballot. Would I do it right before an election? No. Would I do it now? Yes.

Why the fuck is a single Senate Democrat playing “everything is normal” by voting to confirm the Cabinet picks of a fucking dictator? Do. Not. Comply. You have ALL spent the last how many years calling him Hitler and now you’re like, ‘I’m a yes on Goebbels and here’s why…” Fuck that. Stop it. Now.

Whenever Trump does something ghastly and indefensible like pardoning the J6 attackers there is often a corresponding drama that distracts from the real horror that’s happening. This time it’s the “did he/didn’t he” discourse around Elon’s strange hand gesture. Focus on what matters.

These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer. These are all the work of Ethan Swope, an LA-based photojournalist working for AP. You can follow his remarkable reporting here👇 www.instagram.com/ethanswopeph...

You will read countless times today that the LA mayor cut the LA Fire Department's budget by $23 million. That is a lie. The budget was actually *increased* by $50 million.

Even back in 1976, Disney characters like Scrooge McDuck highlighted economic inequality, showing us the difference between $100K and $1 billion. What’s changed?

Lt. Gen. Honoré: Elon Musk is a national security risk. "If the federal [probes] demonstrate deep connections to China and Russia, the federal gov't should consider revoking Musk's security clearance. It should already be thinking about using alternatives to SpaceX." www.nytimes.com/2024/12/29/o...

Here’s a truth bomb. There are NO primary schools in the United States teaching children CRT. There is however millions of parents in the United States teaching children that felonies and sexual assault are absolutely OK. #DemVoice1.

💯. Thoroughly agree. The terms of the settlement were incommensurate with the merits of the case.

Unsettling from @anneapplebaum.bsky.social:Trump isn't just trying to bully the media into submission. He's also conditioning the public to see the use of state power to cow independent truth telling as normal, and persuading MAGA to see it as good. Our exchange: newrepublic.com/article/1894...

Dear Democrats, you could lead the world in post pandemic recovery. Fox News will tell everyone the economy is in crisis. You could add millions of jobs. Elon will tell everyone the migrants are stealing them. You have a massive information flow problem. Deploy counter measures.

If you want to understand why healthcare pricing is horrific, the first thing to know is that our system puts 100% of the credit risk for deductibles, copays and co-insurance on hospitals and doctors. That's insane. We have turned them into Sub Prime Lenders 🧵

Sad. Our traditional news orgs are a fading to a weak gray crusty shell of what used to be a brilliant shield that justice used to protect our democracy.
