None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple, and it is an assault on our military and our democracy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Big, growing crowd just west of the U.S. Capitol protesting Trump, Musk and DOGE on President’s Day. “Hey Congress, grow a spine,” they shout, gathering for a rally around the reflecting pool.

Without going all Martin Niemöller here, I do think that it's bad not to speak up for immigrants, transgender Americans, civil servants, women, Ukraine, and everyone else the MAGA bullies are going after. We're beyond picking and choosing whom to defend. It's time to stand up and speak out.

WH Correspondents Association backs up AP: "This is a textbook violation of not only the First Amendment, but the president's own executive order on freedom of speech and ending federal censorship. We again call on the White House to immediately reverse course and restore access to AP journalists."

Senator Richard Durbin says he has info from "multiple sources" & meeting notes indicating that Kash Patel has secretly helped direct the FBI purge (via Stephen Miller to Emil Bove), and asked for an IG investigation. Says if true, Patel may have perjured himself. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/11/u...

This morning, I sent a letter to the Office of Government Ethics (OGE) regarding Elon Musk’s potential conflicts of interest. Within minutes, the White House confirmed receipt. By noon, President Trump fired the Director of OGE. I want to know: Was this to prevent his answer?

DOGE is a trust bomb dropped on the foundations that make US foreign policy run. Friends, allies, investors, adversaries--all need to trust the systems and people who run them on some basic level. www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

Chaos is the tactic. Deconstruction of the civil state as a countervailing force to corporate power and abuse is the point. This is a war. link.motherjones.com/public/38456...
