Absolutely doing this…

You can’t represent your constituents, if you’re too afraid to face them. You don’t represent your constituents when you ignore their voices and vote against their interests.

Money talks. #defundtheoligarchs

What bland statements from the same media orgs who banded together in 2009 to protect Fox News’ access White House briefings. Pathetic.

Martin thinks Trump is the Government like some twisted orange Louis XIV. Nevermind a dictator, these people want a king.

All this does is prove that Republicans have no idea what AI can, and perhaps more importantly, CANNOT do.

Reminder that “federal funding” is money that the federal govt only has because it was collected from taxpayers, including from those in Maine. It’s not a gift or a favor to be withheld on the whims of a tyrant.

More of this. Do not give in.

A perfect example of “move fast, break things” which others have rightly said is a feature, not a bug.

Startups follow the philosophies of “move fast, break things” and “fail forward”…which is fine for tech that nobody even knew they wanted. Not ok for peoples’ lives and livelihoods. Also like 90% of startups just fail. Miserably.

Not exaggerating when I say that the path back is going to be built on people in positions of influence regaining their sense of self-respect. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

We need to make #CourageIsContagious a trending hashtag and amplify these acts of integrity, bravery, and fidelity to the rule of law. Thank you, SDNY attorneys, for leading by example

Look at his face — this man so clearly dislikes children. It’s even more apparent in the video.

👇seriously! I don’t care how many texts you send me. No energy = no $.

Elon—the richest man on Earth—is gutting the world’s largest provider of food aid. He could end world hunger single-handedly and still be the richest man alive. But he won’t. Instead, he spent 40 million on Super Bowl ads attacking USAID! Stand with USAID: share this counter-ad…

JD’s post gets an F this time; judges are certainly able to prohibit executive acts that violate the law and after the Loper ruling they don’t even have to defer to an agency’s authority or expertise in doing so. Not all executive actions are “legitimate”.

🤷🏻

There are so many things wrong with VP’s answer that I can’t list them all. So, I’ll just grade it a D- for being non-responsive, political hack, illogical nonsense. It’s not an F because of the admission that rascism is, in fact, offensive.

Good morning!

When this is all over, we are going to need new, binding rules of Professional Responsibility and Ethics up to, and including, Supreme Court justices.

Fire Elon Musk. Use every legislative, judicial, and public pressure tactic at our disposal until we get it done.

Why is he using the power of the US govt (and litigation) to coerce companies into paying to advertise on X? Maybe so he can recoup some of the $44 billion he paid for it. Free markets are only “good” when they benefit him. When they dont, he wants the govt to make sure he gets his $ back.

Free speech absolutist mad at companies for exercising free speech. www.npr.org/2025/02/01/n...

Why Write About the Illegality of What Trump and Musk are Doing? My latest newsletter post here: buttondown.com/sbagen/archi...

If you are a lawyer and have even a fraction of the idealism you had when you were sworn in to the bar, you will refuse to support this unconstitutional shitshow and put your efforts and intellect towards protecting the people and institutions that this weaponized government is targeting.
