Imagine writing an email so insane that Kash Patel has to come out and clarify that it’s illegal.

Members of the military are supposed to be loyal to the Constitution, not the president. Changing that seems to have been the point of the Friday Night Massacre. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

1/ Town halls continue to go badly for GOP congresspeople, an ongoing thread: www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2Pc7F6y/

I have heard from workers at multiple agencies that they have been advised by managers not to respond to Musk’s email. Some didn’t say why, others said they’re waiting on guidance from agency leadership—but we can guess what they’ll say.

Goodnight friends. Don’t let the forkers ruin your Sunday.

What's the difference between firing someone "for DEI" and firing them because they are Black?

Public Notice: “ @aoc.bsky.social is showing members of Congress can provide real help to constituents while enraging Trump’s dunderheaded hench-thugs and making them look so bad even Jonathan Turley is forced to pile on… Schumer & Jeffries should take notes.” open.substack.com/pub/aaronrup...

My own off-line discussions with federal workers mirrors this. They love their jobs. They believe in the mission. And, quite frankly, even though it’s not in their own best interest, are determined to stay “until they fire me” because they know the work they do matters.

I wish reading the news felt less like binge watching the final season of a long running series that’s been a major part of your life for decades.

Elon now also a firehose of Kremlin lies. Not by accident.

Relax everyone, he’s just trolling us…

FEDERAL RESEARCH LAB SCIENTIST IN 1965: After five years and seventy million dollars we have invented a new type of plastic that prevents communists from being able to climb ladders too fast FEDERAL RESEARCH LAB SCIENTIST IN 2025: My cure for cancer was shelved because it might benefit Hispanics

Non-elected President, Senator and Representative, His Majesty Elon Musk sent an email to all fed employees asking them to respond with what they did last week, stating failure to reply by a deadline will be taken as a resignation. Here is a statement from the AFGE President in response.

Also, this is a *perfect example* of the kind of bureaucratic layer that makes actually doing things in government sometimes hard! Do you a VA nurse spending her time providing health care or writing Elon an email about “What I Did Last Week”?

Very much like the Iraq War, somehow "I thought Elon Musk was a genius until a couple years ago" is now considered the more respectable and serious opinion than "I knew he was a fraud for a decade and was never fooled by him."

200 million dollars of waste.

I'm not going to play this game of arguing if or not these people are giving a Nazi salute because that is the engagement they're looking for. They did it. And they need their teeth broken for it.

I literally reported this Wednesday.

Pennsylvania — more federal workers regretting their votes this time ones that work in the limestone mine offices that preserve records Elon lied about repeatedly

Oh look, a perfect visual representation of how everything feels right now.

Tearing down federal funding in so many areas of science in the USA will have long-lasting effects. Read a great article linked below🧪

This is scarily accurate. A few dems seem to get it, but Schumer and Jeffries need to wake the fuck up. #republicansarefascist

apple juice was designed to be drunk on a plane. it just never tastes better or more refreshing than it does at 30,000 feet

It’s imperative at this point that Europe develop a defense posture independent of the United States, which should be treated as the ally of Russia that it has now become.

At what point do leaders in the GOP band together (since they seem to lack courage individually) & say enough is enough? The party of Reagan becomes the tool of Putin if they don’t, especially after last night.

If "they" reactivate a retired LTG (3-Star) and make him CJCS, even though his record doesn't meet the service requirements to hold the position. They're going to be stepping on a LOT of toes. Trump will guarantee himself a military hostile to him. This could actually work out.

Mogensen was a Commander of the International Space Station.

Trump’s Pentagon purge has included the top military lawyers. Nobody should be surprised. Dictators politicize the military. Trump wants those with the biggest guns loyal to him, not the Constitution He says he’s demilitarizing it. I call BS. Orwellian to the core. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

As Musk villainously dances around with chainsaws, these are the real people getting hurt. (From CBS)

“That is why Trumpists are so focused on “ending DEI” in the federal workforce. They see anti-discrimination and inclusion as a ladder of upward mobility for people they do not believe should have one.”

This is right. And it's also worth emphasizing that the process is not optional. Under existing SCOTUS precedent (Roth, Sindermann), civil servants have a 5A right to due process before major personnel actions. SCOTUS has said that statutory procedures satisfy that right (Arnett v. Kennedy).

2 Americans in the hotel last night were complaining that Canadians were still going on about the Hockey game win. Saying they get that they are mad about the 51st State stuff but they need to get over it. It was 3 hrs after the game. How long are we allowed to celebrate a win? 🤦‍♂️

OREGON: “The house & senate are totally abdicating their responsibilities.” @RepBentz (R) is the latest Republican to get confronted by constituents at a town hall. (Tennessee folks— town halls are these things where senators/reps show up and you can talk to them in person)

😳

I don't remember Walmart issuing a statement about the impending doom of the US Economy when Joe Biden was the President.

A lesson in how claims of meritocracy as justification for opposing DEI are often cover for the demand that we return to a system of preference for white men - whatever their qualifications. Fire a qualified Black man. Hire a statutorily unqualified white man. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
