For folks who are surprised about, or shocked by, Vance calling on Trump to ignore judges, he’s been saying it for a while but much of our political press wasn’t paying attention:

Here is the plan - "...no discussions, no negotiations until the law breaking stops. After that, if there is an after that, they can negotiate on actual budgetary issues, but not before." @kaine.senate.gov @markwarner.bsky.social

No wonder Trump switched out pictures in the oval office to one of Andrew Jackson. He is the other president who thought he did not have to follow court decisions. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Tuesday 2.5.2025 Meet at the Treasury building at 5pm.

Vought, nominated to lead Office of Management and Budget, on plans to dismantle the civil service. “We want the bureaucrats to be traumatically affected. When they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work because they are increasingly viewed as the villains.”

An easy one- click call-to-action to prevent the federal government from diverting public school funds to private schools because Trump is trying to privatize public education. Letters will go to your legislators after you provide your address. actionnetwork.org/letters/dont...

Or, it could be that he fired the top people at the FAA and has yet to appoint people to take their place. tinyurl.com/2eb34hjp

This is illegal. IGs can't be removed until 30 days after Congress is given notice and legitimate reasons for their removal.

The campaign against trans rights is also about stripping away everyone’s protections against discrimination, reviving, as Douglass put it “the moral blindness” of those who “persuade themselves that they are safe, though the rights of others may be struck down.” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

The administration is not targeting immigrants with violent records. They're targeting the immigrants who are easiest to get: those who show to court and follow the rules. It's a great way to ensure that undocumented people stop coming to court. They're also already ensnaring U.S. citizens.

Did Americans really vote for this?

Fruit of our resistance to Trump in his first 10 days. We: *Stopped the VA hiring freeze *Reinstated distribution of HIV fighting meds *NIH's cancer treatment trials are back on *Federal funding and grants resume Our hue and cry and pushback is effective. Please keep on keeping on.

Every family and child deserves to feel safe and secure in the place they call home. Every resident of Illinois should know their rights. I intend to protect those rights and ensure our state laws are followed.

This was shared by Senator Tammy Duckworth as advice to immigrants and their family members.

Not spelling 'military' is the least of his problems. Hegspeth refused to answer questions and was allowed to eat up dem committee members' time by going off on rants about how christian he is, when he should have been answering to his membership in christian nationalist groups, not his tatoo.

Are we really going to do this again?

Good advice.

Pete Hegseth hid his alleged sexual misconduct, ensuing criminal investigation, and private settlement he reached with his accuser while under consideration to lead the DOD. He knew it would hurt his chances. How can he be trusted to be honest with the President and public?
