This is like a bank robber getting to fire the cops and disable the alarms just before he strolls into the bank lobby.

I guess a quarter trillion isn't enough for that level of emotional poverty, so he's grifting from you, me, and the children abandoned by USAID.

“Mark my words. … They are going to basically tell the U.S. Marshals Service, do not enforce any of these orders, we will not obey them, … and, once that happens—I hope it doesn't … but I know in my heart that it will—our 236-year experiment … in American constitutionalism, is over.”

One view of what Trump/Musk are doing is lifting the hood of a running automobile and dumping a bunch of bird feathers, sand and glue. Eventually, the car will stop, which is the point.

This is — literally — unheard of in federal prosecutions. We can’t prosecute him because he’s a candidate for office? Wow.

What the actual *?! The White House has designated Mr. Musk’s office, the United States DOGE Service, as an entity protected from public records requests and most judicial intervention until at least 2034, by classifying its documents as presidential records.

It’s not just that the buy-out won’t be honored; it can’t be honored. They have neither authority nor appropriations to honor the promise. “Fraud in the inducement.”

A federal court just blocked Elon Musk from interfering with the federal government’s payments system. There is power in fighting back. We won’t let up until this block is permanent.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

⚡️U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order imposing sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC) on Feb. 6. Trump’s order said that the ICC had overstepped its jurisdiction and “abused its power” in targeting U.S. and allied officials.

Thank you! A U.S. District Judge has approved requests from anonymous federal employees to proceed under pseudonyms in multiple cases against the Trump administration to protect themselves from potential harassment and threats.

DEI is when a woman or non-white person who is qualified for a job receives that job. The meritocracy is when a 19 year old gets to run the United States government because he posted the dankest memes

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period. I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt. But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

Dems: Don't let GOP get away with claiming Trump's illegal firing of IGs is related to "reform" or "disruption." That's something voters might actually like. Tell them it's all about facilitating his corruption. My exchange with @jenrubin.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/1907...

If Dems fail to robustly make the case that Trump's illegal firing of IGs is all about making it possible for him and his cronies to corruptly loot the place, it will clear the field for GOP/MAGA to reframe this as "disruption," which for many voters could have positive connotations.
