Are you ready for the future? www.notesfromthecircus.com/p/the-plot-a...

Another federal judge ruled DOGE may proceed with mass terminations of federal workers, stating the judges lack jurisdiction to review the cases, and the employees first have to go through an administrative process — which is controlled by the people who fired everyone. Sounds like Catch 22 to me!

What could possibly go wrong?

DOJ leadership has put all Public Integrity Section lawyers into a room with 1 hour to decide who will dismiss Adams indictment or else all will be fired. Sending them strength to stand by their oath, which is to support the Constitution, not the president’s political agenda. 🇺🇸

There’s long been evidence the google search engine is biased, and it’s getting worse. I’ve been using DuckDuckGo as my search engine for years. Much cleaner, less annoying, more honest, fewer ads. I recommend everyone drop google. You can use DuckDuckGo with its own browser or your usual browser.

Trump’s anti-trans Executive Order is bad BUT it technically defines everyone as female. It states: “'Female' means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell." Since all fetuses "at conception" are female, Trump just defined EVERYONE as female.

Defend democracy

#MedSky “I have concepts of a plan.”

Just for fun…

“Those seeking to curry favor with the incoming administration now have the opportunity to donate directly to the winning candidate without their names or potential conflicts ever entering the public sphere. And … foreign nationals are allowed to donate to the transition.”

Republicans in the North Carolina state legislature just passed a "Helene recovery" bill with no actual money for recovery in it. Republicans in NC's legislature just spent half a billion dollars on private school vouchers for wealthy families, while spending $0 new dollars on Western NC. Yay #MAGA

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s

Five zones targeted with deliberate state destruction: health, law, administration, defense, and intelligence snyder.substack.com/p/decapitati...

Isn’t this one of the hallmarks of authoritarianism, when they brag about their crimes?

While residents freeze, NC legislature denies aid to Helene-devastated counties in WNC ncnewsline.com/briefs/gov-c...

🚨ACTION NEEDED: H.R. 9495 includes a poison pill provision that is a serious threat to nonprofits. This bill would remove due process and hand over considerable power to future administrations. Join us in urging Congress to vote NO on H.R. 9495! 🔗bit.ly/STOP9495
