Shutting down already-installed infrastructure in the name of government "efficiency" while also harming business competitors of a government official who just happens to have his own network of EV chargers.

SCOOP: The top US election security watchdog has frozen all of its efforts to aid states in securing elections. The move represents the first major example of the country’s cyber defense agency accommodating Trump’s false claims of election fraud and online censorship.

Eric Adams was a disgrace from day one and now he's sold all of us to the Trump administration—including our most vulnerable neighbors. It's time for @govkathyhochul.bsky.social to fire him. Every minute she waits, she's sacrificing more New Yorkers. ENOUGH.

In order for New Yorkers to vote in the closed Democratic Mayoral Primary, they must be registered as Democrats (and not unaffiliated or otherwise) by TOMORROW, February 14th. You CAN do change or update online through the DMV link below with a valid ID: e-register.vote.nyc

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

Dropping the Adams case is so obviously corrupt and unethical that a former Scalia clerk resigned on principle. This is not a partisan issue; it's a question of whether DOJ will be weaponized by this administration on behalf of its allies and against its opponents. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/n...

Holy Shit. They're burning through people pretty fast now. After Sassoon refused/resigned, the next two people - heads of Public Integrity Section (DC) and the Criminal Division also refused/resigned. This all JUST happened. And these are all 'actings', so they're people the Trump crew chose.

Are the Democrats going to say anything about the Adams case? Anything at all? Or is it a "distraction" that the US president openly ordered the DOJ to stop prosecuting someone, on the basis that person was helping Trump?

When one unhoused man said he didn't want to go to the warehouse, officers told him: “It’s either that or jail.” He offered to move. They said, “No, you can come with us or we’ll cuff you and throw you in jail.” My latest: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This suit tees up a clear confrontation over the scope of presidential vs congressional power. Trump clearly violated a statute requiring him to give Congress notice and case-specific reasons before firing an inspector general. His only possible defense is that the statute is unconstitutional.

Is a single Democratic leader going to denounce Trump's explicit instruction to stop prosecuting Eric Adams because Eric Adams said he'd help Trump? You know, the open subversion of the DOJ for political ends?

It's important to remember that any principled effort to remove fraud from America's public life would start with an all-out push to prosecute and imprison Elon Musk. There is no bigger fraudster alive today.

Why aren’t Democrats doing interviews with patients enrolled in the cancer trials that Musk just cut funding for?

The Internet Archive has removed its archives of individual tweets from the account belonging to DOGE staffer Marko Elez. The WSJ reported yesterday that this account belonged to Ekes, and that many of these tweets were racist and led to his resignation.

Republicans have a 2 seat majority in the House. They’d love nothing more than a few progressive members of Congress being behind bars for days/weeks while fighting federal obstruction charges. Every vote matters over the next two years.
