Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

This is a concentration camp. They are describing a concentration camp.

Trump is a Russian stooge. Putin may as well written this himself. And any Republican in Congress who said they support our allies before, but are silent today over this, are worthless.

I can’t stop thinking about these two headlines

Interesting data in light of current events. More about welfare queen Elon Musk: www.profgalloway.com/elon-musk-we...

Absolute must read Donald Trump can be defeated, it’s doable This piece explains how:

SWAN: DOGE and SpaceX employees are now working directly at the FAA and DoD, agencies that have billions of dollars of contracts with Musk's companies or regulate them. How is that not a conflict of interest? TRUMP: Well I mean, I'm just hearing about it

“The head of the Social Security Administration has resigned after she refused to by DOGE staffers access to sensitive information. Your information.”

An important point to keep in mind.

Not even six hours apart.

Sorry, but I’m unfollowing you, @axios.com. If you want me back, you know what to do.

these are segregationists.

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

🧵 THREAD: In the second Trump administration, we’re devoting a significant part of our staff to detailing dramatic changes in the role of the federal government in the lives of Americans. Here are some of the issues we’re watching — and how you can inform our work.

I wonder how one possibly justifies any of these actions

Politico helped Trump launder lies during the campaign and he’s been on a week-long rampage against them anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

For context, this is the same $1.3 billion dollar deal they announced back in December during the Biden presidency. Trump set fire to the US' relationship with both Canada and Mexico in return for literally nothing at all.

The Trump’s campaign promise was to finish the job they started on Jan 6 and this is what it looks like.

Conservative budget wonks (Manhattan Instiutte, Tax Foundation) confirming that this is a consittutional crisis. Not liberal hysteria. Happening right now.

The irony of people doing this fake virtue signaling (after an entire campaign rife with fainting spells over the cost of eggs), is that their political deity is famous for manufacturing his clothing outside the US and for failing to pay American contractors.

Several conversations today w people in the key executive departments. And while the particulars are hard to pin down my impression is that the Musk take over stuff is considerably worse than is being presented in the press. By this I don’t necessarily things they *done* yet but the level of …

I was over on the shit hole doing my thing and I came across this comment from a German citizen. So I thought, “hey, Dit, let’s learn something new.” Follow along if you’d like. 🧵 Gleichshaltung, the nazification of America

Stop what you’re doing and read this.

There appear to be at least three separately operating heel factions breaking things within the government in wholly different ways right now. There's the Miller-headed immigration one, the DOGE/Elon one, and a Project 2025 OMB one. This dynamic hasn't showed up in mainstream reporting at all.

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive): 1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment* 2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything 3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can 4. Citizens march en mass

🛑CANCELLED—“Research on Women’s Health” funding website of the NIH.

Meiselas: I’m speaking to the union worker who voted for Trump. Now your job is gone, your family is less safe, prices are higher, and your government aid is frozen. When you sit at the table with your family, what are you telling them?

The skating team on AA flight 5342. 😢

Department of Transportation orders all personnel to "identify and eliminate" every order, directive, rule, regulation, policy, notice, guidance document, funding arrangement, or program that even mentions climate change, diversity, or environmental justice www.transportation.gov/sites/dot.go...

Everyone seems to be framing Trump's freeze on federal grants as a Constitutional fight over powers of the purse & whether presidents can disregard Congressional appropriations. It is that. But also at stake is the fundamental validity of government contracts! I see much less discussion on this... 🧵

Imagine dying in service of your country and your family needing to request anonymity because of the President of the United States and his supporters.

🧪 If I were Canadian PM I would immediately: 1. Create a new $15B science fund 2. Offer any credentialed US scientist funding for lab startup and replacement of NIH grants if they move to Canada 3. Immediate permanent residency 4. Citizenship after 2 years Overnight a science superpower

ICE just adopted new policies making it harder for Congress to prevent deportations, per memo leaked to me:

The CDC web guide to help MDs prescribe contraception has been removed. We weren’t overreacting about Project 2025. It’s real and it’s happening NOW. This is a full on assault against women’s rights. No fault divorce will be next-Mark my words. Clip: www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2jV5Kvo/ WATCH
