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.

BREAKING: The Associated Press sues three Trump administration officials over access to presidential events, citing the First Amendment.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

🚨 Trump’s DOGE purge just made Veterans’ data a massive target. They fired key cybersecurity staff protecting VA.gov —leaving millions of Veterans’ medical & personal records exposed. This isn’t efficiency. It’s reckless and dangerous.

“The numerous mistakes, according to people familiar with the complex world of government contracting, suggest that Mr. Musk’s team of outsiders, charged by the president with cutting spending, don’t fully understand it.” 🎁 www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

THR: “.. Paramount now signaling that it’s prepared to go on the offensive .. leveraging the threat of uncovering information about Trump’s financials, including with respect to his social media company .. and the cryptocurrency he launched, in discovery.” www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

Yo DOGE, Found your waste! 👇🏼

Elon Musk is cratering in polls: WaPo: Only 34% approve of Musk's role, 63% worry about his data access CNN: 54% say it's bad Musk was given a big role Majorities disapprove of Trump in CNN, WaPo, Gallup. On the pod, @juliaazari.bsky.social is great on all this: newrepublic.com/article/1917...

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

Mark my words—He is going to try to shut down mail-in voting. When he does, we will sue and we will win. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

"51 employees at CIA and the Office of Director of National Intelligence received calls Friday from their human resources office telling them to report to the visitors center at CIA headquarters in Virginia at 8AM on Tuesday with their badges and without lawyers..." www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

NEW: DOGE technologists Edward Coristine—the 19-year-old known online as “Big Balls”—and Kyle Schutt are now listed as staff at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.

This is genius.

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

Young voters really don't like Elon Musk. His unfavorability is 54% with all voters. 67% with voters under 30. Feels important for a party that needs to win a much bigger share of young voters.

Yes, who is going to miss 6,000 IRS employees during tax season? www.yahoo.com/news/us-irs-...

A former commander of an International Space Station mission counters Elon Musk’s misinformation about the current ISS mission. Musk lashes out and calls him “fully retarded” and an “idiot.”

America is not gonna go down quietly. Former NFL punter arrested after protesting ‘MAGA’ Video:

“the United States is not a startup. The federal government exists to do all of the things that are definitionally not profitable, that serve the public good rather than protect investor profits. (The vast majority of startups also fail, something the United States cannot afford to do.)”

So, @oliverdarcy.bsky.social has gotten the text of the letter sent by 40 news orgs to the White House re its ban on the AP. Signatories range from NBC, Washpost and The Guardian to Fox and Newsmax. www.status.news/p/associated...

The President is spewing Russian disinformation and buddying up to Putin. Why won’t he stand up for American values?

Breaking news: 57 percent of Americans say President Donald Trump has exceeded his authority since taking office for his second term, according to a new Washington Post-Ipsos poll.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

Dark Pence is back.

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

In its first public accounting, DOGE made huge, embarrassing errors — and still hasn’t acknowledged them.
