Protests are taking place all over the country tonight against cuts to vital federal services. Here in Washington, people are marching to SpaceX’s offices demanding Musk be ousted from the government.

Just listened to Harry Litman’s most recent “Talking Feds 1:1” podcast interview with Andrea Pitzer. Truly frightening, but don’t miss it.

New filing: Fulton County DA Fani Willis has asked the Georgia Supreme Court to reverse her disqualification in Trump's election interference case. "No Georgia court has ever disqualified a district attorney for the mere appearance of impropriety without the existence of an actual conflict."

Tuesday’s Trump-Alito phone call was the unholy marriage of blanket presidential immunity to blanket judicial impunity. It tells you all you need to know about what is coming next. With @dahlialithwick.bsky.social: slate.com/news-and-pol...

Hi LA County friends, just got a heads up through the wires and don't have a place to write it up so I'll put it here instead - the city of Rosemead is providing free N95s and KN95s to the public which can be picked up at the Rosemead Chamber of Commerce on Muscatel Ave between 12-4pm today...

As we remember J6, let's not forget the role that repugnant fecal stain Ginni Thomas played. 1. Emailing Arizona state legislators urging them to choose Trump electors 2. Contacting Mark Meadows to strategize how to overturn the election; and 3. Demanding McCarthy remove both Cheney and Kinzinger.

While we’re banning books… Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar. Be. Like. Finland.

Thank goodness for people like former WAPO cartoonist @anntelnaes.bsky.social, American hero. This may only be the rough of the cartoon she planned to run before she was told she couldn't, but it speaks volumes, perhaps, especially in this form.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

Good morning and Happy Saturday to everyone who agrees that it's time for EVERYONE to wake up to the hard, cold truth that the richest man on the planet does NOT give a fuck about us, he only cares about himself. Stop falling for his bullshit.

Why do we need student loan reform?? Because I’ve been paying about $1,200 a month since 2017 (minus some covid deferment time) and my balance has only gone down **$85.65**
