Quite the consequential Friday night massacre. They not only took out three top military leaders, but also the JAG officers who interpret what’s lawful and constitutional for military command.

🚨 @arlingtoncountyva.bsky.social has a new page on the website with resources for federal employees and contractors I know this is a stressful, uncertain time for so many in our community. we are here to support you & make sure you can access the right programs! www.arlingtonva.us/Government/T...

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Told-ja so! In bringing a new FOIA suit & prelim injunction motion vs DOGE, @crew.bsky.social relies in part on helpful language in Judge Bates’ denial of a TRO in a DOGE case before him. bsky.app/profile/rpar...

Here is my Federal Employment Termination story:

Good morning. Wordle 1,342 2/6 ⬜🟨🟨🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Apparently having an out of wedlock 13th child with a 4x married man who never sees his kids and doesn’t like to pay child support is only ‘ghetto’ if you’re not white. And yes, this post is about Ashley St. Clair…

Disgusting toxic trash. Trump is a real tough guy, banging out Truth Social posts from his golf cart at a guy who has fought off a murderous drug-addled barbarian horde for 3 years defending his people from Russian rapists and child kidnappers.

Trump wants to slash your Social Security while he LITERALLY spends $11 million in our tax dollars playing golf in first month of his second term.

Resisting comes in all forms. Here is a very creative one starting to pop up.

Biden and Buttigieg kept the planes in the air without crashing.

Dark Pence is back.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s overseas trip started with heckling from military families. That turned out to be one the best moments of his excursion.

white nationalist men are too emotional to be in charge

The JFK Library in Boston is reportedly closed indefinitely because of federal job cuts

AOC has them sputtering mad because she’s educating people on constitutional rights. You don’t see them freaking out at Jeffries for talking about egg prices.

Jim Acosta: I think the AP should consider whether or not to sue the administration… and the rest of the press corps should start seriously considering whether it’s worth sending everyone into the Oval Office, onto Air Force One, or into the briefing room.

"[Palestinians] will not be relocated, resettled, or replaced. Power and wealth will not decide the fate of Gaza. History is not written by thieves – it is written by those who resist, by the will of the people." — #AJOpinion by Hassan Abo Qamar ⤵️

Proud to join almost 1,000 other DOJ alumni supporting those who are standing up for the non-partisan administration of law. The oath we all took is to uphold the Constitution, not to advance a president’s political agenda. www.thejusticeconnection.org/wp-content/u...

The Afrikaaner who lied on his visa paperwork and who pockets billions in taxpayers subsidies has deep thoughts about illegal immigrants mooching off the gubmint. Fuck. This. Guy.

Canadians aren’t fxking around….. lol.

They are all prostrating themselves for evil.

Donald Trump is asked about high prices, especially egg prices, hitting an all-time high. "Remember, I've been here for 3 weeks." So basically Donald admits he hasn't been able to do jack since he's been in office.

To the idiots who actually believe. $4.7 trillion went unaccounted for do I have gold shoes to sell you. Our whole budget is approx $6.9 trillion. So, No that much is not unaccounted for. But funny thats EXACT amount tangerine tyrant wants for tax cuts to BILLIONAIRES.

"Law and order" in the Trump era: if you bow down to the head of the U.S. government, he may help you - whether you're awaiting trial for sex crimes in Europe or doing time in the USA for physically assaulting police.

DOGE at the Department of Education includes: *Adam Ramada, a Miami-based investor *Alexandra Beynon, recently worked at ketamine startup Mindbloom *Akash Bobba *Ethan Shaotran If you have interacted with any of these folks LMK

If you’re not confirmed by the Senate then you have no business meddling in the lives of MILLIONS of Americans We are suing DOGE for violating the constitution & illegally seizing power I’ll discuss tonight @ 8PM ET on @insidewithpsaki.msnbc.com 👇 statedemocracydefenders.org/fund/new-law...

Some days I’m haunted by the idea that Phil Hartman would have become an incredible dramatic actor as he aged, and what a loss it is that he didn’t get to star in a major serious oscar role

The greatest business battle EVER to be fought will come when President Elon starts trying to implement AI for federal processes. The battle will be fought over which company’s AI will be used by the feds. This is a zero sum battle that will create more chaos than this country has ever seen

The biggest cage match ever will be between Musk and Trump. Elon will try to implement AI in a manner that automates much of what Trump is now trying to control. Trump will have no understanding of what is going on and will have to turn to the AI oligarchs to support him in this battle.

We got a Costco membership for the first time in our lives today. They asked why & I said because treat your workers well, you value diversity, & you didn’t cave in to authoritarian demands. He said: “We’ve been getting lots of folks saying that, thanks for joining.” Who needs a gallon of ketchup?

This group is way ahead of MAHA

Here’s a better peace plan for Ukraine. “Russia, you’ve already sustained twice as many casualties as the US did in ww2. Leave Ukraine or suffer four times more, and collapse as a country in the process” Done
