AZ AG Kris Mayes: This is a coup by Trump against our Constitution, because they are violating not only the separation of powers but also the court orders We have federal judges saying to Donald Trump and Elon Musk, “Stop this now,” and yet we believe they are violating those orders.

If I had to respond to an email as a federal employee asking me what I did at work last week, I'd make sure to list all the duties I had to absorb because of mass illegal firings, followed by a description of what the EPA's Walter Peck did in Ghostbusters.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

As Trump was bullying the awesome Governor of Maine, he claimed that he is the Federal Law. He is NOT !!! This is the moment in American history when we the people must save our country from a dictator & his stooges & oligarchs. We all need to push back while we still can. .

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Lie after lie has been told this week about how the Ukraine war started, from the Kremlin and the White House. This @newsagents.bsky.social video essay explains the truth, and spells out why Trump clings so close to Putin and lives in his warped reality youtu.be/cufMoDE5ABQ?...

One thing Democrats need to be careful about when criticizing DOGE is not defending the system. The government is broken. There is wasteful spending—but there's a right way and a wrong way to do it. What Trump and Musk are doing is absolutely the wrong way. It's reckless and makes us less safe.

We're shocked by Trump and Musk's antics because we judge them against the idea that governments should serve the people. But they have no such intention. Government for them is simply about seizing power and wealth. Let's stop being shocked, and build a global, democratic counter-movement.

One of the UK’s best known and successful human rights lawyers, Caoilfhionn Gallagher KC, is receiving vile threats to herself and her family as a direct result of her work on behalf of the British media tycoon Jimmy Lai, jailed in Hong Kong. Whoever, I wonder, could possibly be behind this?
