DOGE's "savings" is like saying, "I've saved hundreds of dollars by never changing the oil or replacing the brakes in my old car."

The Homeland Security secretary said tonight that Trump told her to film ads that “thank me for closing the border.” DHS has budgeted up to $200 million for its anti-immigration ad campaign. w/ @swin24.bsky.social @rollingstone.com www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

It’s really very easy to be on the right side of this.

Staffing the security apparatus and justice department with loyalists and purging non loyal elements is a hallmark of authoritarian regimes. It’s not a “shake up”; it’s power consolidation.

Say it loud, say it often. WE are the opposition party. US together. It's our country. It's our money. It's our house they stole. This is our time to ACT.

Firing all of the JAGs (Judge Advocates General)—the top lawyers in each service branch—is just as bad as, if not worse than, firing (most of) the Joint Chiefs.

Of course. But being the party standing up for those fired will mean a lot to those fired and their families. It will also show the country that they are trying to bring order to chaos. And if they can get any Republican support at all, that's huge leverage for March 14

Trump pardoned the sentence of arguably the single biggest drug trafficker in American history on his second day in office!

How many calls do we need for you to treat your fucking GOP colleagues like the people that are trying to kill you and your constituents? You know they're coming for you, yeah? Really disappointing. Deny unanimous consent. OPPOSE. Are you with us or them? @schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov 92683

Folks I do have one ask right now. @indivisible.org has STILL not called for Trump's removal from office. This is very obviously stymieing all the pent up grassroots energy here. Skeet at them, talk to your friends in Indivisible chapters, whatever: Impeach, Convict, Handcuffs.

The National Science Foundation fired all its experts. The National Science Foundation. Fired. All of its. Experts. And they weren't even told to! The leadership worked toward the Fuhrer and went beyond the cuts demanded of them in anticipation of many, many more firings—up to half its staff.

A new government tracker claims DOGE has saved billions from ending federal contracts. But an NPR analysis of the data finds the claimed savings don't add up.

Trump rode to political prominence on birtherism and spent the last month of his campaign claiming that Haitians were eating cats. The rise of authoritarianism in America must be understood as a misinformation crisis.

On this day in 1942, German tanks and soldiers marched through Winnipeg. The mayor, premier and Lt. Governor were arrested. The city was renamed Himmlerstadt, books were burned and the swastika flag flew around the city. This is the story of Winnipeg's If Day. 🧵1/14

The more I think about it the angrier I get. This is so deeply disrespectful: to readers, to colleagues (at Politico and in the industry), to anyone who is covered by this publication. This person is genuinely, openly ignorant and proud of it, while shaping our news and information environment.

it continues to be inexcusable that the DOJ has gone through a series of earth-shattering scandals the likes of which would have caused any previous president to resign or face impeachment & conviction isn't even being talked about by democrats in congress
