'This is real': Ex-insider describes Elon Musk's 'wrecking ball' schemes https://twp.ai/4imJbL

Now I have two things to watch when life gets me down - excerpts from the Eagles Super Bowl win and excerpts from Senator Booker’s historic filibuster.

Fellow attorneys Trump’s assault on lawyers is designed to stifle dissent If the most powerful firms give in, others will follow And it’ll be harder for those harmed by his policies to find representation DO NOT CAPITULATE You owe it to your clients The Constitution But-mainly-to yourselves

"Lies, Incompetence & National Security": Kudos to Jeffrey Goldberg's excellent work at The Atlantic in exposing this appalling breach. Pete Hegseth should resign--and this whole dangerous act of incompetence should not be covered up with lies and aggression. www.americaamerica.news/p/lies-incom...

I've asked Major League Baseball's Vice President of Communications if Major League Baseball has any comment on the DoD erasing Jackie Robinson's page from the site and changing the URL to "DEI Sports."

Excerpt from “Let America Be America Again” by Langston Hughes

BREAKING: HHS employees are told that responding to the Five Bullets is voluntary, but warns that if you respond, "assume that what you write will be read by malign foreign actors."

Over at @lawfare.bsky.social, I argue that the Trump's use of administrative leave violates the plain text and the spirit of the Administrative Leave Act. I conclude with some musings about the relationship between "faithful execution" and capacity. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

A new website created by about a dozen federal employees, called “We the Builders,” aims to be a secure outlet for government workers to share stories about how their workplaces are being impacted by DOGE, and a place to explain the real-world impact of its access to government tech systems.

NEW: A letter from an anonymous federal worker. Please read and share: www.muellershewrote.com/p/letter-fro...

NEW: You can help federal workers! We are fundraising for legal expenses. I have applied for non-profit status so your pledge could be tax deductible! Help support and defend our civil servants here, and please share widely 🙏 Patreon.com/fedoath

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

Another reason to stick with Apple Maps. www.cnbc.com/2025/01/27/g...
