Our founder Gen Hayden joins service secretaries and other 4-star general officers in amicus brief opposing Trump’s deployment of Nat’l Guard and Marines in Los Angeles. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Where are those loud 1st amendment warriors from Biden’s term?

NASA is more than rockets and cool photos for your desktop background. It’s the sciences of everything, it’s cutting-edge tech, it’s STEM inspiration, and it’s global U.S. leadership—all on a shoestring budget (~0.5% of federal spending). If we can fund war, we can fund wonder. #FundNASA

Tell your congressman to save NASA.

FYI - The US Court of International Trade is the *only* federal court that specializes exclusively in international trade law, and acts as a check on executive agencies (e.g., Commerce, ITC, WH) to ensure fair application of US trade statutes. An AG that doesn’t know the law shouldn’t be an AG.

You don’t even have to mention his name to know exactly who we’re talking about.

“…President Trump…is above the authority of this court or any other in our nation…” I wonder what SCOTUS thinks of that statement…

When Iran’s govt began to implement its vision for an "Islamization" of its university curriculum following the 1979 Islamic Revolution, America led the free world in condemning it. Now look at us 😔

This is both good and bad. While the tie allows the OK Supreme Court ruling to stand, the fact that SCOTUS was divided on something as simple as the separation of church and state is extremely worrisome.

Trump and Rubio alone—with their 119 days of intelligence tradecraft and analysis experience—know the facts. Shame on the IC for using their combined hundreds of years of expertise to say otherwise.

What we call the repetition of history is often just the reverberation of unchecked greed.

I just left the Senate floor, where I laid out Trump's real "Art of the Deal." For himself. Here are Donald Trump's 10 most outrageous displays of corruption yet. 🧵

Even AI knows what’s up. Asked it to generate a Star Wars themed poster reflecting the situation in the U.S. and this is so spot on. #Maythe4thBeWithYou

The Heritage Foundation (Project 2025) wants your opinion on whether DOGE should defund the FBI, EPA, Dept of Education, etc. - and whether or not you support science-backed initiatives. They expect MAGA to fill this out - you know what to do. Spread the word.

It’s heart wrenching that MAGA voted for this and are proud of it.

Really @theatlantic.com? A paywall?? This. This is why this country is burning.

Holy shit. The U.S. is no longer considered a democracy 😳

Because f*ck the Hatch Act.

Meanwhile, Americans can’t afford eggs and are are having their taxes raised. But yeah, let’s make Greenlanders rich.

Hey algorithm, help spread this. The DOD employs an average of 950K civilians at an avg hourly rate of $42.05. At that rate, the Musk-mandated WAR is costing the US tax payer approximately $39,947,500 per week ($2B per year!), to complete this redundant task.

Members of the DOGE squad lied and tried to force their way into the downtown D.C. headquarters of U.S. African Development (USADF). The DOGE squad was accompanied by Peter Marocco — a Trump toady and member of the MAGA mob who illegally entered the U.S. Capitol during the…

The @lincolnproject isn’t even being sarcastic.

Just gonna leave this right here 👀

So what you’re saying is…

Every DOD civilian should send this to OPM every week.

I’ll take “Which national or international law did the Trump administration violate in the last hour for $500 Alex”

Stunning 🤩

Hey @financialtimes.com, you know what would be really really cool? Complimentary subscriptions for government email accounts. #KeepTheGovtInformed #PreventIdiocracy

Trump’s murderous freezing of aid that Congress enacted a law to send to Ukraine unconstitutionally usurps the power of the purse, violates the 1974 Impoundment Act, and is an impeachable “high crime and misdemeanor” akin to the extortion for which the Senate should have convicted Trump in 2020.

How is the DoD supposed to remain “mission-focused” if it can’t hire the people needed to do the mission and it’s threatening to fire those focused on it? Explain it to me like I’m 5.

There it is. Literally saying the US and Russia are working together to take away the independence of another country. I'm wondering if any of our press is gonna pick this one up? Seems like headline material?

Trump’s directives to executive agencies to stop cybersecurity operations on Russia is the GOP’s most egregious attack on our democracy. They’re following the same playbook Putin/Xi use to keep them indefinitely and corruptly “elected” against the will of the people.

Says the same guy who allowed the Tate brothers to enter the US.

With all the disdain and repulsion for people who identify themselves as something they’re not, you’d think he’d stop identifying himself as “the United States of America”.

As a Puerto Rican veteran who swore an oath to the Constitution and is aware of the Federal Records Act, this blind following of an illegal order by a military unit is a major concern.

I figured “making America great *again*” meant bringing us back to pre-Civil Rights Act, but I didn’t realize it also meant bringing back 3 to 4 million measles cases per year, leading to 400 to 500 American deaths, 48,000 hospitalizations, and 1,000 cases of encephalitis (brain swelling) annually.

Pay very close attention to what they do with ESL and no child left behind and watch who cheers for this. Making English the official language seems harmless on the surface, but doing so is purposeful and you’ll see the ripple effects from this sooner than you think.

Dear god. You are not the president’s lawyers. You are the Government’s lawyers. Your oath is to the Constitution, not the President. Disgusting degradation of the Justice Department.
