Let’s be 100% clear. The postal service is literally in the Constitution, explicitly assigned as a congressional power. If Congress wants to abolish or privatize it, that’s up to Congress. The President can’t just wake up one day and do it on his own.

You know this is 100% going to happen…

They keep showing us exactly who they are.

Only an idiot would think we should eliminate: - Emergency response in natural disasters - Education and healthcare for disabled children - Clean air and water programs - Gang crime investigations - Monitoring of nursing home abuse - Nuclear reactor regulation - Cancer research

Pritzker: If we don’t want to repeat history, then for god’s sake, in this moment, we better be strong enough to learn from it.

Really impressed with how JB Pritzker is taking on Trump. This is the way.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

🚨BREAKING: In 4-3 decision, Wisconsin Supreme Court reverses lower court decision and DISMISSES voter suppression lawsuit. A big victory for our clients the WI Alliance for Retired Americans and voting rights in Wisconsin. Another stinging loss for the GOP! www.democracydocket.com/cases/wiscon...

I am not going to let Trump and his cronies scare us. I am more focused today than ever. I am more motivated today than ever. I feel so fortunate to be on the front lines fighting alongside you against the Trump regime. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

This is a concerning milestone. Bringing new investigations and prosecutions is different than just dismissing cases against allies.

Land of the free or police state? The lines become more blurred every day.

Quite an exchange here between Judge Reyes and DOJ attorney on how "pronoun usage" affects military readiness.

Former Presidents and leaders from both parties should be sounding the alarm and urging Americans to protest the destruction of democracy.

So if Musk doesn’t run DOGE, and DOGE isn’t a real government agency, then no one has to listen to Musk or do what the DOGE bros tell them to do, right?

The Wisconsin Supreme Court will release its opinion in a critical voting rights case tomorrow. As soon as its available Democracy Docket will post it. www.democracydocket.com/cases/wiscon...

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

The United States is under attack. Is there a single Republican Senator patriotic enough to stand up to this madness?

“Donald Trump wants [The Constitution] re-written and he’s re-writing it live every day through the actions of the fake agency called DOGE” @michaelsteele.bsky.social puts into perspective how political party labels “don’t mean jack” right now.

"Elon Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service is seeking access to a heavily-guarded Internal Revenue Service system that includes detailed financial information about every taxpayer, business and nonprofit in the country, according to two people familiar with the activities, sparking alarm within the tax agency"

The greatest political scandal today is not what Trump is doing. It is the fact that congressional Republicans have given up their role in the constitutional system as a check on the executive branch. If we are in a constitutional crisis, it is as much on Mike Johnson and John Thune as anyone else.

Money talks

Every word of this.
