I like how they tag their chain of command at the bottom of the tweet: Army -> SECDEF -> POTUS -> Musk

My outstanding new Congresswoman @juliejohnsontx.bsky.social‘s people left a robo-voicemail to let me know she had just started a telephone town hall, to update on the problematic actions by the administration, and they left the dial-in number so I could call in immediately.

If the President can shut down agencies created by statute and funded by appropriation, just because he wants to, then Congress might as well close up shop and go home. If the President can appoint people to do this without any confirmation and oversight, same.

The thing about Elon is he is so fucking drug addled and insane that it's truly difficult to tell which second and third order effects he is purposely trying to engineer and which are just obvious consequences that he is too dumb to see.

One legal issue with “Musk takes the checkbook” is that it seems like several Musk lackeys (or Musk himself) will be exercising substantial authority pursuant to public law. That’s unconstitutional, as they weren’t appointed consistent with the appointments clause or other applicable law

Took the kids climbing today so I could avoid tuning in to the Shitstorm of Doom, and now I need to feast on Advil for the rest of the evening.

I’d have pardoned my kid, too. Any parent who wouldn’t have sucks as a parent.

Best way to start Thanksgiving has always been helping set up the meal for our local refugee ministry—for most of whom it’s their first Thanksgiving. Feels more important than ever this year.

I just keep thinking about…imagine being a woman at the pinnacle of a military career, as a four-star service chief, and knowing your likely new boss believes you never should have been allowed to serve.

See, this is why we use the Oxford comma, and/or proofread. Who knew that Netanyahu was also the Hamas military chief?!

I just wish I were senior enough to make the list. I’d be up for that fight.

Nah man, it’s fine, I’m sure they’d be chill if we nominated a SECDEF with “Allahu Akbar” tattooed on his arm. Who doesn’t think God is great?

This is great, because you can only DM them if you have a verified account…for which you have to pay Elon. Telling people they’re applying to a non-existent government agency in order to make them pay you money is literally fraud. And there will be no consequences, b/c we don’t have those anymore.

Sigh. They’re going to put all the energy and focus on sinking Gaetz, and Hegseth and Gabbard will get a pass.

Today’s Hot Take on The News: Gaetz as AG would be gross and awful, and still ultimately LESS damaging than Hegseth as SECDEF or Gabbard as ODNI.

I know it seems dark out there. Pick your battles. Fight the fights worth fighting. (You are gonna need to save every little bit of strength you have.) Do good every day. Stand up for truth & justice. Be good to yourself.

We’ve been explaining this for a long time now but it appears some folks need it repeated at them: when people have assessed trump is a threat to democracy, they generally do not mean “no election ever again,” they mean he clearly is openly intending to shred the democratic order as we know it…

Judge Ho is praying he’s on the appellate panel so he can continue his SCOTUS audition by granting an emergency stay of this ruling on whatever b.s. grounds he can think of.

This. People don’t know history, don’t understand what the government does, and take it for granted that things like food, water, and air have always been and will always be just fine.

Going to reiterate that everyone on this website should run for something. Tree warden, Senator, horse catcher, whatever. The Democratic Party is currently screaming at each other about precisely how much more racist and transphobic they should get. Sneak past them, primary an old guy, take control.
