Really impressed with how JB Pritzker is taking on Trump. This is the way.

We Might Have to “Shut Down the Country” Anthony Romero, the A.C.L.U.’s executive director, talks about what he thinks could happen if the Trump Administration defies the authority of the courts. By David Remnick www.newyorker.com/podcast/the-...

Faced with undisguised hostility from the Trump administration, our European allies are preparing for what is shaping up to be a go-it-alone era. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...

As someone who camps at Yosemite a few times every year... this is frustrating. And so pointless.

For the record

If you’re not confirmed by the Senate then you have no business meddling in the lives of MILLIONS of Americans We are suing DOGE for violating the constitution & illegally seizing power I’ll discuss tonight @ 8PM ET on @insidewithpsaki.msnbc.com 👇 statedemocracydefenders.org/fund/new-law...

These are the ads about Elon Musk that the Washington Post refused to run. The paper offered NO EXPLANATION. This is the problem with outlets that are CONTROLLED BY BILLIONAIRES focused on ingratiating themselves with Trump. Support independent media: muskwatch.com/subscribe

New, great piece from @attackerman.bsky.social about the neo-Nazi technoids and their attempts to use machine learning as a barganing chip in geopolitics

Musk is acting like he runs the U.S. government—but the Constitution does not allow an unelected super-president We’re taking him & DOGE to court to impose consequences I’ll discuss tonight at 6PM ET on @msnbc.com w/ @jonathancapehart.bsky.social

The food we eat, the air we breathe, the schools our children attend, the banks where we keep our savings, and the planes we fly on are all less safe because Donald Trump is President.

NEW: My office is hearing that DOGE is now at the IRS. That means Musk's henchmen are in a position to dig through a trove of data about every taxpayer in America. And if your refund is delayed, they could very well be the reason.

BREAKING: We are suing Musk & DOGE for violating the constitution They have no right to your personal data & no authority to dismantle entire agencies We’re calling their bluff & taking them to court statedemocracydefenders.org/wp-content/u...

As I said in this piece this morning, I'd call Elon Musk does "confirmation bias on steroids," except that it seems more like "confirmation bias on ketamine." www.techdirt.com/2025/02/13/s...

Trump hiring freeze creating chaos at Yosemite National Park

Crackpot, Conspiracy Theorist, Predator, HHS Secretary. When do we start making America great again?

Hey guess who had an article making this argument a week ago? www.techdirt.com/2025/02/03/m...

"Kash Patel, Donald Trump’s nominee for FBI director, has come under scrutiny over his business ties, including holding stock in a group that owns Shein, the Chinese fast-fashion retailer accused of using forced labor."

Other countries have peacefully evicted autocrats & the US can too! I explained how we are working together w/ allies to do that in the court of law & of public opinion @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.social 👇

The Treasury Dept. maintains the sensitive personal & financial information of millions of Americans That’s why we filed for -- & got an order blocking -- Musk & Trump from those systems I’ll say more on @allinwithchris.bsky.social at 8:20 PM ET -- TN statedemocracydefenders.org/fund/new-int...

NEW: Treasury Dept agrees not to let anyone who isn't a current, regular (non-SGE) employee access its payment system/records, with the exception of Tom Krause and Marko Elez, who will have read-only access. The agreement will last until the judge decides whether to grant a preliminary injunction.

We will not forget

In day 1 Trump told press that NATO nations must spend 5% percent of their wealth on their militaries. Clearly he doesn’t even know that the US spends just 3% on NATO. We’d need to spend another $500 billion a year to meet his edict. Hashtag clueless. Ignorant. Vindictive.
