This is the episode where the (un)American Association of Sheriffs enters the plot. It’s going to get even uglier before the commercial break.

Yes she does! Thank you #GovernorJanetMills

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

It seems worth recalling here that Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) stalled the nominations of 451 senior military officers for close to a year in 2023. Heather Cox Richardson

They fired a top Black general and are replacing him with a much less-qualified white general. They’re not hiding the racism.

OK, the report is now fully in major media. Media must get an extensive White House response; Congress must investigate (even if it's a minority report); DOJ and the FBI must investigate; the CIA must issue a report on what it knew about this and when.

Keep repeating this. That freak is not in charge

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

Score: Mills 1, Trump 0. She’s 100% right on the law. Trump’s “We ARE the law” was way, way over the top. No, Mr. President, you are not. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

"The Prime Minister agreed," the White House lied.

With Elon’s “tell us what you accomplished last week or you’re fired” emails: I can confirm that he didn’t limit himself to the executive branch. He sent them to employees of the judicial branch as well.

I’m not a federal government employee but here are my ‘five bullets’ of what I ‘accomplished’ last week: 1. Pissed off JD Vance 2. Pissed off Elon Musk 3. Taped a hilarious convo with Hasan Minhaj (out next month) 4. Taped a great convo with Jemele Hill 5. Drank more than one chocolate milkshake.

Imagine being an Article III judge and you get this email on a Saturday night lol

Multiple reports of drivers doing spontaneous sieg heil salutes at protesters today, including in one case from someone I know personally. What is being normalized is monstrous and dangerous; every day we step closer to the abyss

Governor Pritzker of IL, the policies, invasions, Indiana’s wanting over 1/2 IL, etc. have occurred. Impose border controls. Cars w/out IL plates should be liable to stop/search, travel passengers should be registered, & all federal facilities must be watched to ensure compliance w/ state law.

Not all heroes wear capes 🤣🔥

Hope the Pope recovers and sending thoughts and prayers to my Catholic brothers and sisters in this moment of uncertainty.

This was the moment, just over a month ago, when the ADL could've put an end to Republicans doing Nazi salutes. They didn't. They chose instead to provide cover by calling it "an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm." Now the sieg heil salute has been normalized. The ADL literally had ONE JOB.

This. Is. Insane.

I’ve long believed that the American media would be more clear-eyed about the return and actions of wanna-be dictator Donald Trump and the coup by Musk if it was happening overseas in a foreign country. Here's the story the US should be writing this weekend: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/king-donal...

Republican events for a month now (including Inauguration Day!) have featured a prominent Nazi salute & legacy media outlets ignore it. Seems like a trend worth covering, no? Maybe access to the Nazi party shouldn't be prioritized??

Musk and DOGE are closing local Social Security offices, making it hard for people with disabilities to access help. Frank Bisignano, former FISERV CEO, is Trump’s nominee for commissioner of Social Security. He is likely to expand this. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

If you've missed Garrett Graff's breathtaking "foreign correspondent" pieces, check this one out. Maybe have a drink first though.

We found Sean Duffy! In California pissing them off about a rail connector between SF & LA. Claims it’s a ‘boondoggle’. Except he voted to strip $1B from the project in Congress, then took another $1B away now. He attempted to shout over a crowd to blame Gavin Newsom for it. Duffy lost.

"The solution...will require more forceful measures: lawsuits & journalistic solidarity that might include a widespread boycotting of White House press briefings." "The free press may be going down, but if so, we should go down swinging." @sulliview.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

🚨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.

The one really positive thing about Trump’s firing the CJCS and Musk and DOGE attacking the Pentagon is that it’s awesome for Canada and Greenland/Denmark

Let’s make him FAMOUS, shall we?! 👇 You know what to do.

Have you noticed an uptick in threats coming out of the Trump administration this week? We did! Check out this week’s issue of The Democracy Index by @joycewhitevance.bsky.social for @contrariannews.org. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...
