The 9th Circuit Court rejected Trump’s appeal that tried to argue that it was an “emergency” situation and that redefining the birthright citizenship amendment was necessary to help carry out Trump’s immigration policies.

Fantastic reporting from the @propublica.org team here.

“At least Russia has elections” Russia frequently jails and kills any opposition to Putin, who has been in power since 1999. If you like dictatorships, that’s fine. Just admit that. Don’t insult anyone’s intelligence—including your own—by claiming Russia has real elections.

if you were accidentally fired while transporting a nuclear warhead and currently need a place to stay with said warhead please know that i have a sizable backyard and an abiding desire to be a nuclear power

Oh, look what normal countries do when a former president leads a far right coup attempt.

Another way this feels similar to COVID — the disaster is already unfolding but the people in charge seem to think it’ll only impact “blue” areas.

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.

Discussing the cybersecurity implications of DOGE's actions feel like worrying about whether you left the stove on while your house burns down.

so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

Ok NOW I have a problem. Accept one but not the other?! Hell no @washingtonpost.com

Let’s see what motivates this guy to join DOG…oh

Neo-Nazi terrorist and convicted mass murderer Anders Breivik, who killed 77 people in Norway in 2011, cited this same Napoleon quote in his manifesto.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

Protest at Stonewall tomorrow. You can’t spell Stonewall without the T.

Again...it's like we could have predicted this .. cyberintel.substack.com/p/doge-expos...

People need to understand just how screwed up this is! This is unethical on ALL fronts and a further mockery of the judicial system. This makes the Saturday Night Massacre (which was covered by all ethical journalists as a catastrophe) look like nothing at all. Support these REAL patriots!

ABC: “.. Multiple current and former employees described the situation as ‘a national security crisis.’” @abcnewsgo.bsky.social abcnews.go.com/Politics/liv...

Worst retail sales drop in nearly two years. 🇺🇸

Whoopsies! You mean they aren't using best practices and patching and locking down systems? *Shocked face* www.404media.co/anyone-can-p...

When I heard Musk say this on Tuesday, my assumption was that it was a programming issue. Because I can code and have written to databases and because I am familiar with other examples of default values being misinterpreted. Yet somehow Musk isn't.

U.S. Dept of Veterans Affairs confirms it has dismissed more than 1,000 employees A once unthinkable concept for an agency that operates 100+ major hospitals and many hundreds more clinics And processes veterans benefits news.va.gov/press-room/v...

The Danielle Sassoon letter to AG Bondi is wow. If you have a tip about what’s going on in DOJ/SDNY, I can be reached on Signal at annabower.24 Read the letter: www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

The Stonewall Riots happened because trans people, particularly of color, rose up against state violence. You can’t even begin to tell the story without our trans ancestors and elders. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/n...

Donald Trump’s latest press conference from the Oval Office was a disaster from start to finish. Trump admitted his tariffs will raise praises, fawned over Putin, and spread even more deranged lies.

This feels... illegal.

Hitler to Chamberlain: "If we are not given it (the Sudetenland), we shall have to take it ourselves."

Hahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahhahahahaha times infinity

NEW: In its second correction of the night, DOJ tells a federal judge it make factual representations to the court about the status of one of the DOGE bros who had access to the Treasury Dept. systems. This is becoming a pattern I suspect (another) judge will not be happy.

This is terrifying, and extremely important. Please read. You may think the National Archives are trivial, but they are far more important than that, and could be key to the fascist coup we are now witnessing.

This might be the most nakedly corrupt document I’ve seen on DOJ letterhead — and I wrote a history of Watergate!

Something that applies to all authoritarian coups in all countries on all continents at all times is, follow the fucking money.
