BREAKING: In response to our lawsuit, the National Endowment for the Arts will no longer force grant applicants to certify that they won't promote "gender ideology." This is a big step toward defeating the NEA's unconstitutional censorship.

A Federal Reserve bank is now projecting that the US economy will shrink by 2.8% during the first quarter of 2025. This is a major decline from when President Biden left office, when the economy was projected to grow by 3%.

If DOGE is a federal agency, it can’t shield its records from the public. If it’s not an agency, then its tens of millions of dollars in funding weren’t legally allocated and should be returned, some contend.

You should know that a big part of 18F's work was to make sure multi-million to multi-hundreds-of-millions dollar contracts at fed and state level didn't go to shitty enterprise IT consultancies that repeatedly delivered tech that didn't work, was late, or didn't even do what it needed to

Vance has, for years, used this technique where he mischaracterizes the position of his opponents by taking it to an extreme that they never advocated, then arguing w/that fictitious position. Supporters don’t want “permanent” shipments, nor did we advocate de-industrialization.

Congress has the power to make DOGE funding contingent on weekly, under oath, hearings with the DOGE administrator and the DOJ attorney assigned to cases against DOGE. This bill can be written and introduced in the House this week. And should be. Paging @aoc.bsky.social and @raskin.house.gov.

Power granted is power exercised, it's only a matter of when and by whom. — me I've been saying this for more than 15 years paying attention to how government works in practice on top of learning how it works from American civics education in high school.

George Conway is right. Yes, the military purges are racist, but they are also treasonous. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs was not fired just for being Black. He was fired for being honorable. That's why his replacement is not just White, but also under-qualified and on the Trump family payroll. 1/

We already have the horrific outcome of "move fast; break things" and now we're in an era of people asking LLMs how to move fast and break things. 🫠 This is fine.

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...

If the era of inescapable surveillance is upon us, it might as well be used for good as well as for evil. Keeping law enforcement, including ICE, on notice that the public is watching can be an effective way to minimize abuses by the powers that be.
