!!! At least six federal judges in Texas, along with their clerks and staff, received DOGE’s “tell us what you did last week or else” email. The Chief Judge of the 5th Circuit told judges and staff not to respond. texaslawbook.net/texas-lawboo...

Back to the same trashtactics that they were up to on the Hawthorne Bridge back in 2019.

“DOGE is a phishing attack.” 💯

As our federal government is slowly shuttered, it’s business as usual everywhere else until it’s not.

A federal judge has temporarily blocked Trump’s anti-DEI orders, ruling the government cannot freeze or cancel “equity-related” contracts or require grant recipients to certify that their programs do not promote DEI.

Good. The Associated Press, one of the world’s oldest and most trusted news orgs, having participated in the White House press pool for more than a century, is suing the White House Press Secretary and Chief of Staff for violating our 1st and 5th Amendments. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The US Postal Service is in the US Constitution, if that matters.

Fuck Trump

Headed back to Portland!

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

Cool cool.

Not this driver talking about his Ozempic and hot springs he wants to go to before I have my coffee. No ma’am.

BREAKING: DOJ refuses to provide Judge Chutkan with any numbers regarding last Friday's firings. DOJ also refuses to make any commitment regarding what "personnel actions" the seven agencies at issue — OPM, Education, Labor, HHS, Energy, Transportation, Commerce — might take in the next two weeks.
