It’s a cult.

I’m not exaggerating when I say that @altyellonatpark.org’s timeline is helping my mental health.

It has been a long and grueling week. Thank you to everyone who offered kind words of support. If you want to follow everything happening to democracy in court, while also supporting pro-democracy independent media, please sign up for Democracy Docket. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

📉📉📉

This is exactly how Hitler talked. It's not even a comparison or analogy, as people claim. It's a direct connection in ideology as well as a similar approach to governance and relationship to democracy. This needs to be how we talk about it. They are the ideological descendants of Hitler.

Thank you to @maddow.msnbc.com for promoting @bsky.app on air and complimenting it. Her on air support is truly important

Carville: USAID spent $41 billion the federal budget is 6 trillion. Actually comes to something like .014%. So take that and put it against the 6 trillion and see what you have done when your president is responsible for more federal debt than any president in the history of the United States.

Spineless, yellow-bellied, lily-livered, weak-kneed, pusillanimous chickenshits.

Some teenage boys overcompensate by getting lift kits on their pickup trucks – while other teenagers overcompensate by destruction of Democracy, sunglasses, and chainsaws.

Eggs. $8.49. Thanks Trump.

Hey, @msnbc.com. Why do you allow your readers to share articles on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and most other major platforms — but NOT Bluesky? Asking for nearly 32 million users.

🚨BREAKING: @democracyforward.org files emergency lawsuit to halt DOGE from taking taxpayer data at the IRS. Visit Democracy Docket for full coverage. www.democracydocket.com

A foreign service worker whose pregnant wife allegedly was denied emergency medical transport abroad has filed an affidavit against the Trump admin, claiming its "rushed, haphazard and cruel" push to shut down USAID placed the mother and unborn daughter at grave risk. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Van Hollen: "Can you imagine FDR in the middle of WW2 saying to Churchill, 'you know, we're not going to continue to help you until you turn over half of your coal and mineral reserves.' That's not how you behave when you want to support a friend who's under attack by an authoritarian like Putin."

What a goddam dumpster fire AI is making up fake case law 🤦🏻‍♀️ www.reuters.com/technology/a...

🚨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...

A friend from the VA just sent this and asked me to share. PMDB is Prevention and Management of Disruptive Behavior in the workplace. THIS is the real war against women: being forced to say there are only 2 genders but not being allowed to mention 96% of violence is perpetrated by men.

This afternoon, the top FDA food official responsible for overseeing America's food safety and inspections resigned from the federal government.

I'm watching Canadian officials hold a presser on the Toronto plane crash and remarkably they're not blaming DEI or recklessly speculating about causes. They could never cut it down here in Trumplandia.

Whatever else emerges in time about the Delta crash in Canada, one thing is certain: the importance & amazing professionalism of flight attendants who safely evacuated the plane in a matter of seconds.

Marjorie Taylor Greene tried to have Pete Buttigieg's salary reduced to $1 in November 2023. Does she think Sean Duffy should keep his job if planes can't manage to stay in the sky?

Criminals are running amok inside our government and nothing will be done about it because—oh, that’s right!—America voted for a convicted criminal to be in charge of all federal law enforcement See how that works

Congressmen when they are asked if they will cut THEIR budgets and lay off staff as well:

It’s nice that the Target founder’s heirs oppose canceling DEI & sidelining Black-owned products, but they don’t run the company—and Target has made its stance clear. @Target.com: There’s nothing you sell that I can’t find elsewhere. I don’t shop where I’m not welcome. You’ve already been replaced.

American planes are crashing almost every day and the Secretary of Transportation is visiting the Daytona 500 and tweeting at Pete Buttigieg.

Elon Muck bought the government for a fraction of what he paid for Twitter. (44 Billion for Twitter-290 million for the United States) He is turning the government into X.

When they’ll use fake grand jury investigations as a pretext to claw back funds illegally, there’s a rot at the top.

Welcome to Florida.

He’s not making up: news.bloomberglaw.com/banking-law/... Is this really what y’all voted for? 🫤 💰

When my class was elected in 2010, we cut congress’ own budget and our personal ones by about 10 percent. This one should cut theirs by about 20, and each office should lay off a couple employees. Same DOGE is requiring. Make every @gop answer

Elon Musk recently posted that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He asks if we suffered childhood trauma and suggests we are suffering from “generational trauma.” Tomorrow, Democracy Docket will publish my response. Sign up now to receive. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

Musk bought the government for a mere Tuppence compared to what he paid for Twitter.

This is fascism.

“We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American eagle in order to feather their own nests.” -FDR, 1941

At some point very soon, republicans in Congress will have to choose between pleasing Trump to avoid being primaried, and helping their constituents to avoid being primaried.
