Whether you changed your name because you got married or any other reason, the SAVE Act could keep you and millions of others from being able to vote. Tell Congress: Protect our democracy and reject this dangerous bill.

DOD stops deporting migrants to Gitmo on military transports after WSJ shows what a waste of $$ it is. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

I feel this so much, when after all these years!

This really tells you all you need to know. They claim to support vets, and they know how to play the game with messaging and symbolism to exploit their patriotism, but every once in a while the mask slips and you see that they really think we’re just suckers and losers. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Here's a note at Law Dork from @chrisgeidner.bsky.social on this: substack.com/@chrisgeidne...

been thinking a lot about the media reaction to Biden's first debate performance compared to its response to fascism

Co-president to deliver his own state of the union.

Interesting.

Instead of supporting big media that bows to scumbag Trump and will be broadcasting his lies, turn it off. Let's all pop in to watch the 24 Hour State of the People starting at midnight. If you don't know @claycane.bsky.social or @reeciecolbert.bsky.social yet — well, it's about time you find out!

The richest man in the world has gotten IRS to fire the people investigating the richest men in the world for tax fraud and instead gotten them to look for fraud among people poor enough to rely on (non-DOD/IC contract) govt benefits. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Attendees at TX-03 town hall with Rep Keith Self are shouting “Do your job!” Americans are fed up with Elon Musk’s unconstitutional takeover of our federal government!

Really enjoying the "Great News That’s Horrible For Trump" emails from @dworkin.bsky.social Finally I can wake up to news that puts a smile on my face. www.dworkinsubstack.com

The EEOC filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk's company, Tesla, alleging it allowed "severe racial harassment" of Black employees including “frequent direct verbal racial attacks” and the “constant presence of racist graffiti evocative of lynchings.” Every story about these cuts should say that.

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

I’ve been suggesting on TV and podcasts—without actual evidence(!)—that it may turn out that DOJ will wind up not having enough lawyers to defend all the lawsuits challenging this administration’s illegal conduct. Turns out it seems already to be true. 👉

But this far the villain thing hasn’t worked. They’ve been exposed as ,,, neighbors.

House Republicans returned to DC after ANOTHER week off. Rep Luna announced earlier today that the Oversight Committee is going to Dallas to investigate the 1963 JFK assassination. Here is another important update from the House DOGE Committee Chair. Working hard for you, Merica!

@nytimes.com this you?? Ffs

A new document undercuts Trump admin's denials about $400 million Tesla deal www.npr.org/2025/02/24/n...

You've seen the meme/video whatever about Gov. Mills verbally sparring with The Felon. He responds with"We are Federal Law." WRONG. *Congress* is the federal law.

This is on a reputable news site, and any info on it is now being held close by Putin. Who knows if it's true or not but let's run it up the flagpole.... www.msn.com/en-us/politi...

Oh. www.newsweek.com/joe-rogan-de...

Trump begins firings of FAA air traffic control staff just weeks after fatal DC plane crash apnews.com/article/doge...

Said every tyrant and dictator in human history to justify his actions.

Thanks to Elon Musk and DOGE, our adversaries now have access to sensitive information about one of our intelligence agencies. Elon Musk and DOGE staff should NOT have access to sensitive national security information. www.huffpost.com/entry/elon-m...

He’s so desperately wants to be taken seriously. But he’s a clown- A joke.

Dear the rest of the world: You should absolutely not see the US as reliable for anything at this point, shit, none of us on the inside think we're reliable for anything right now either, you're definitely not alone

“Without the threat of legal enforcement to fend off bribe-seekers, some American executives will struggle to say no. ‘It’s a really good time to be a corrupt official in Russia or Asia,’ Tillipman says.” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

In the three weeks Elon Musk has been in charge of unilaterally slashing government spending, the U.S. government has paid one of his companies, SpaceX, more than $43 million.

Your regular reminder that the senator could have taken care of this in 2021

More law-and-order from the Convicted Felon in Chief.

Funny how the Trump administration takes deadnaming REALLY seriously all of a sudden if you do it to a body of water instead of a living, breathing trans person

Why do a third of Republicans think there's a constitutional crisis? Because a lot of them think that courts holding Trump in check — the only remaining check — are somehow illegitimate. Gift link: wapo.st/42Nuyfu

The best way to fight back against Musk: Don’t buy a Tesla. (And if you own one, sell it.) The company was already in a precarious position before Musk launched his assault on democracy. A Tesla boycott would be devastating – and richly deserved. Me, in Slate 🧵

Just got a tip from a guy at the FAA. You'll never believe who is still getting new government contracts while all the contracts at the Department of Education and USAID and other agencies are being nuked from orbit.

This is a choice the establishment press will have to make in ways large & small - whether to be an organ of propaganda in to preserve direct access to propagandists and liars or to be an independent source of reported information about reality that follows the facts and that it’s audience can trust

Georgia, who is this kindergartner??

I hope Chief Justice Roberts sees the train of litigation coming straight at him, and realizes he unleashed it.

Andy Borowitz is so good!

They are who we think they are

This must really annoy Thump, let's fill the Internet with it.

Impeach Musk. /s

DEMOCRATS in Congress, take note! 📌 Reps. Judy Chu (D-CA) and Gwen Moore (D-WI) walked into Mike Johnson’s office unannounced and demanded answers on why Elon Musk’s people got access to a sensitive Treasury payment system. More of this energy, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social , @schumer.senate.gov

Trump announces task force to ‘eradicate anti-Christian bias.’ So DEI for Christians is still ok. Got it.

One reason Musk might be so driven to shut down USAID? The agency's inspector general opened a probe into Starlink last year. Now the Trump administration says Musk will self-determine his conflicts of interest. Hello?
