🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

Two-thirds of the Earth’s surface experienced record heat in 2024. See where and by how much – visualised www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Should we be concerned that Trump is trying to *beat Hitler's record of dismantling a constitutional republic in one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours and 40 minutes?

This is really something

Sean Savett, who was spokesperson for the White House National Security Council under then president Joe Biden, said in a social media post: “Sounds like Trump bought Putin’s propaganda hook, line, and sinker. #HookLineSinker www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

What we’re witnessing in government right now—across the Departments of Energy, Veterans Affairs, Education, and beyond—is not only a bonfire of cruelty but a reign of ineptitude. #BadDOGE #TraitorTrump #3E www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Doge: Not just a dead dog.

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

BREAKING: USAID contractors/aid recipients say Secretary Rubio and USAID leader Peter Marocco should be held in civil contempt for violating a court order to lift spending freeze.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

🗣️ @aoc.bsky.social out fighting for the people & federal workers: “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” 🇺🇸

What the actual fuck?! America, it’s time to rise. When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty!

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank. I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history. Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

JD Vance is so nauseatingly unlikeable that he’s literally dragging down the AfD’s approval rating

Years ago, after the Cambridge Analytica scandal, I interviewed a former fb employee, and I remember her continually emphasizing that these tech bros weren't evil geniuses, but were, in fact, dangerous because they were utterly clueless, totally reckless, and had too much power.

Guys, Muskrat finally figured out that he can be liable, personally, for the wrongful terminations. So now he's not responsible for DOGE. THAT, is the reason for the WH nonsense thst came out last night.

a good example of how the world is getting dumber. the new politico playbook writer didn't know who FDR was until a reader told him about that whole "new deal" thing. this newsletter is read by every important person in DC.

A top Social Security Administration official resigned after clashing with Musk staffers over access to sensitive personal records. They sought entry into an internal system containing Americans’ private data. Thank you, Michelle, for resisting—and for your 30 years of service.

NEWSY: The White House confirms tonight that Elon Musk is NOT the administrator of DOGE and is not even technically part of it. He's a "senior adviser to the president" like Anita Dunn, they say. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

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

Boom! 💥 Representative Standbury spells it out for the back of the room. Republicans are hiding behind closed doors planning the biggest, *permanent Trac break in history. That's why they're absent in Congress, and violated the Constitution. #3E #FiftyFiftyOne www.reddit.com/r/illinois/s...

I know what term to use now. Today the movement got a name, it's a coup d'etat. #StopTheCoup #3E #fiftyfiftyone #PresidentsDay
