UPDATE: My colleagues and I were locked out of the Dept. of Education and denied a meeting with Acting Secretary Carter.

Don't blink. Trump and Musk are unleashing a tide of death. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

🧵 Elon Musk Wants to Shut Down USAID—Because He Can’t Cash In on Starving Children: In 2014, the world watched in fear as the deadly Ebola virus tore through West Africa, killing over 11,000 people and threatening to spread beyond the region. USAID led the global response, /1

Closing of this DoD youth STEM program after 34 yrs is going to hurt my small rural community and all the others in the U.S. that it serves. Really wish congress would get their act together & donate work to help the people as is their job… www.starbaseone.org/closure?fbcl...

Really terrific journalism here.

This is moronic. The Secretary of Transportation is a moron.

All the "I don't do politics" people on SNAP and Medicaid are about so find out how politics does them.

NEW: My staff has confirmed reports that Medicaid portals are down in all 50 states following last night's federal funding freeze. This is a blatant attempt to rip away health care from millions of Americans overnight and will get people killed.

PROP - PR Over Policy. Don't confuse them. He is flooding the zone. He knows that media will cover everything he does. Getting people upset. Which helps give him more coverage of the upset people. All just talking about him. Dems need to be strategic.

Several Quaker groups, including one in Philadelphia, are suing the Department of Homeland Security after Trump’s administration rescinded guidance preventing Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from raiding houses of worship.

@angrystaffer.bsky.social I heard from a good friend that some people in an irs office were asked to answer only yes or no if they supported the potus, those who said no were allegedly let go on the spot. Have you heard anything like this?? 😳 I asked you on twitter too, to cover bases. ☺️

Donald Trump's inexcusable and antidemocratic pardons are an assault on the rule of law and an insult to the brave men and women in law enforcement. My full statement below:

Chicago Police have said they won't assist in Donald Trump's ICE mass deportation raids. Know your rights and make a plan. Pass it on to folks you know in Illinois.

So far today, we have: - withdrawn from Paris Climate agreement - announced 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada starting February 1 - withdrawn from World Health Organization This is the “stability” you voted for, MAGA?

@jvl.bsky.social with the perfect quote: "That’s the dual hermeneutic the populists use for evaluating the world. If you’re an expert who got one thing wrong, it damns you. If you’re a total lunatic crank who gets one thing right, it makes makes you bulletproof."

Just because I've got a lot of followers and a public profile doesn't mean you can pop into my replies and call me names, drag me, cuss at me, or be rude as hell and think I'm not allowed to respond or get angry. I don't know how you were raised but this isn't a free fire zone to just be a jerk.

I've watched Administrations go from DEM to GOP & back & forth. Even during worst of times in our country we didn't see career employees resign en masse. Especially not from being told to do so. This is what authoritarian regimes do. Brain power & experience loss will be devastating for decades.

Monday Newsletter: Just a quick one this morning to remind you amidst today’s “shock and awe”: You are not the crazy ones. charliesykes.substack.com/p/todays-a-g...

Trump just said he'll bring back law and order. Remember the last time he was here:

Kitchen table issues on day one

Backing the blue while tackling those everyday issues that Americans care about

www.cnn.com/2025/01/20/p...

"If you committed violence on that day [Jan. 6] obviously you shouldn't be pardoned. And there is a little bit of gray area there." -- JD Vance, eight days ago. Trump pardoned basically all of them tonight

Sergeant Gonell @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social sent me this picture. This is his call log. Each call is an automated Dept of "Justice" notification saying "The defendant you testified against is being released from the dept of corrections." Each defendant assaulted him.

Thank you @atrupar.com for this excellent article: "a man who never should’ve been near the White House in the first place is getting a second chance to leave America in the ditch." www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-inau...

KING: Even you said the images of J6 stirred up anger in you, 'the nation was embarrassed.' How do you reconcile those feelings with Trump's pardons? MARCO RUBIO: I used to be a senator, and now I'm about to be sworn in as secretary of state. That's what I'm thinking. I work for Donald J Trump.

VARNEY: If any when ICE went into a school to arrest someone, that would be highly contentious, wouldn't it? TOM HOMAN: Absolutely. But then again, you know, what's our national security worth?

New in PN: The "find out" phase begins "Trump’s campaign was ugly, dystopian, and authoritarian. His first presidency was a disaster. A near majority of voters pulled the lever to put him back in charge anyway. Put bluntly, we, as a country, fucked around. And now ..."

For Reals

Mother Nature is even like “oh hell no, nope, screw this shit!”…

Your job is to follow the constitution and the Electoral Count Reform Act of 2022 and object to electoral votes cast for candidates who are ineligible under section 3 of the 14th amendment.

hey everyone, the guy who literally told his critics to FUCK THEMSELVES IN THE FACE is very very very very very very concerned about rising levels of incivility on his crappy app right now

Bernie Sanders is open to voting to confirm RFK Jr.

The fact that it wasn’t will forever be America’s shame.
