it's hard to find a motivation for DOGE other than 'hatred of the good.' these are bad people fundamentally envious or un-understanding of the idea that you might work or give for others, and attempting to punish it.

This picture may haunt me to the end of my days. It is an ICE agent taking an axe to the car window of an immigrant in New Bedford, MA. Not far from where I sit now. An immigrant with no criminal record was abducted by this smiling man. An axe taken to a car window and to our democracy. 1/ #MomSky

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

Wouldn't it be nice if every news outlet that covered the Bukele Oval Office meeting noted: District court wrote: Abrego Garcia "has never been charged with or convicted of any crime."⤵️ Fourth Circuit: The government presented "NO EVIDENCE" of MS-13 affiliation. Abandoned argument before court. ⤵️

"Great Replacement" theory isn't just a racist conspiracy belief, it's also the ideology behind the deadliest terrorist attacks in America over the last decade. Terrorists who did Pittsburgh synagogue, El Paso Walmart, Buffalo Supermarket and other deadly attacks cited it prominently in manifestos.

I just want to tip my hat to the crack team of White House economists who were able to discover--in just a few short days--that the U.S. is dependent on China for smartphones, computers and semiconductors.

Can't believe @fideinvest.bsky.social is actually promoting technical analysis, which is - not to put too fine a point on it - complete and utter BS. If it worked, nobody would be teaching it; they'd be relaxing on their Caribbean island. What next - phrenology and voodoo?

"Apparently"? You should absolutely go arrest those very real 25,000 people right now. You have their addresses. Go! In fact, if you don't find every one of these absolutely real fraudsters and convict them all in court, then that's clearly a sign of your utter failure in office.

So the Supreme Court’s strategy seems pretty clearly to be forestall admitting we have a constitutional crisis by giving Trump huge victories on narrow procedural grounds. This is akin to having engineers move the Rubicon River closer and closer to Rome to avoid Caesar crossing it.

This NYTimes story exemplifies one of the stupidest aspects of DOGE's crusade to "cut government spending."

This is the most basic of impeachable offenses, really. And, as noted, it was not a one-off-- the offense is ongoing. House Ds could get a vote on this under rule IX if they really wanted to.

1) Do evil, in knowing violation of personal and professional ethics, because you’re told to. OR 2) Don’t do evil, decline to help the destruction of your profession and country, honor the oath you swore. Seeing that as an “impossible position” is part of why we’re in this mess. Thanks, lawyers.
