So, um, can a lawyer tell me if we can legally sue the federal government for not spending our tax dollars the way our Congress told him to?

If I were a member of this administration, I'd be worried at least one of these immigrants they are removing is an Edmond Dantes who is going to come for me later

My story breaking this news exclusively was 7K+ words and had almost all of this in it, and more: www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read. He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

Well this is good. I am very happy he is alive and there is still some hope for the family, of a reunion. Now we're positive this is an authoritarian constitutional crisis and not a desperate cover up.

Have we still not learned that mercenaries are not a reliable defense?

#ProofOfLifeNow I hope he is alive, but this is starting to smell like a cover-up

I'm starting to get a sinking feeling that the Trump Administration has made the political calculus that it is better to be perceived as defying a court order than to admit their mistake got Kilmar Abrego Garcia killed

For anyone that needs it spelt out for them, the SCOTUS ruling today essentially tells the executive branch that if they can move fast enough, the courts can't do anything to stop them

I'm sure someone smarter than me had already said this, but where does Lutnick think these manufacturing robots are coming from? Is there a secret US only supply chain for manufacturing robots we don't know about?

It is wild to think that Trump is responsible for screwing up two different console release cycles now I know video games are a luxury, but this is going to be something people remember

How is it April and the NY governor hasn't fired Adams?

Steve Jackson Games posted this to their blog and the post is getting so many hits their site is effectively crashed but the point is worth repeating

If I were doing PR for Nintendo about the #Switch2 game prices, I would just blame the tariffs Doesn't matter if it is true, the public will gladly accept it

Wait, he said "a reason unknown to man" as to why the US stopped relying on tariffs in 1914? Well, I'm just a humble social studies teacher, but I think there night have been some kind of event that happened in 1914 that disrupted global trade making a tax on imports unreliable revenue

The "Book Résumés" initiative from @uabookbans.bsky.social, @slj.com, and publishing partners is a powerful tool to combat censorship. This free resource includes reviews, accolades, and more info on frequently-challenged books. New titles added regularly! buff.ly/dr3btyt

He did not yield the floor Schumer!

I kind of wish the last hour and a half of Booker's filibuster was just him reading the script of "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" Would just be funny

The Booker filibuster needs to break the record How great would it be for Thurmon's record to be broken by a Black man from a northern state

I'm very cynical about Booker's motivation for this filibuster I think it is likely an attempt to make a name for himself for 2028 And honestly, if that is true, great. It means he is reading the room and knows fighting is what the base wants

Why is there not a picture-in-picture of the US Senate in every news channel right now? I'm especially disappointed in @msnbc.com for this failure since they are trying to market themselves on resistance politics

First the Kennewick district can go F itself for this suit Second, I expect the court will eventually find in their favor because of SCOTUS Third, what federal funding are they worried about losing? He gutted the department www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

While these tactics are good in the short term, there needs to be a pivot to potential challengers to the elected officials taking centerstage if you want it to translate into any kind of electrical victory
