83% of Americans disapprove of King Donold’s pardoning his Jan. 6 goon squad, and now his poll numbers are falling faster than a gold-plated toilet in a hurricane. SMITE!

🚨BREAKING: @democracyforward.org sues on behalf of unions, retirees to block access to personal and sensitive data at SSA. This case comes after SSA commissioner stepped down due to concerns about DOGE accessing data. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

DOGE’s expenses have risen above 40 million, with weekly costs now exceeding 10 million. We will release an updated DOGE staff list soon.

Someone better tell DOGE there’s this guy working from home

Trump administration is flouting an order to temporarily lift a freeze on foreign aid, judge says apnews.com/article/trum...

"The same guy running around the stage with a chainsaw and unable to complete a sentence wants to put his microchips in people’s brains."

#constitution scientists! Or law doctors? Scholars of Historical Patriotisms? Listen, if you are a Parchment Perv and know stuff about the Constitution, I would LOVE for you to tear this apart and prove I'm an idiot. Not into quilling, maybe share? Thanks!

The true Consitutionsl crisis is on now. Trump is refusing to follow federal judges' orders. This is the last step in destroying our law and order system, which already wasn't great.

DOGE having access to Americans' Social Security data isn't just a major security breach. It's part of a deliberate ploy to cut benefits — using the false pretext of "waste and fraud" — and have Congress use the savings to give billionaires another giant tax cut. Be warned.

If Musk isn't running DOGE, who is? And who is trolling and shutting down agencies? Can we have some transparency, please! abcnews.go.com/US/white-hou...

Ok…… who’s running this shit? #DOGE www.reddit.com/r/ToiletPape...

BREAKING: All seven of Elon Musk’s companies — X, xAI, Neuralink, Starlink, the Boring Company, Tesla and SpaceX —have netted a combined $20 billion in US government contracts and subsidies, according to the Financial Times. Does MAGA care to comment?

"We filed a lawsuit the first day of this admin against DOGE bc of the harmful influence it was already having, & we have filed a number of other suits to seek to protect the American people & their privacy." - @skyeperryman.bsky.social, President & CEO of @democracyforward.org on @msnbc.com today.

President Donald Trump and Elon Musk used the word “fraud” or “fraudster” combined about a dozen times during their Feb. 11 Oval Office question-and-answer session. So far, neither Musk nor the Trump White House has shown evidence of criminal activity. (via @politifact.bsky.social)

🚨BREAKING: U.S. District Judge Chutkan has rejected an injunction that aimed to stop Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency from accessing government systems and conducting widespread layoffs.

‘This is a coup’: Trump and Musk’s purge is cutting more than costs, say experts In slashing staff and disabling entire agencies, the administration is lacerating the structures of US democracy.

When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, that’s not a “threat to democracy,” that’s a check on the president’s power. That's the whole damn point.

Appointments Clause TRO hearing on Monday: Judge Chutkan asks GOV for confirmation if (1) thousands of USG workers were terminated on Friday; (2) additional terminations are planned in next fourteen days. On former, GOV lawyer said he didn't know the answer. Will submit info to court later today.

The culling of the federal workforce we're seeing is not about revenge against those who have been fired necessarily; it's a warning to those who are still there, like the heads on pikes that ancient hordes used to plant to tell the villagers to stay in line. From me: prospect.org/labor/2025-0...

A U.S. judge has scheduled a rare holiday court hearing on Monday, in a case brought by Democratic state attorneys general seeking to protect major federal agencies from Elon Musk's government cost-cutting team known as DOGE. U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan in Washington, D.C.,

New Mexico v. Musk & DOGE (Appointments Clause case) Saturday: Government brief: "Defendants request that if the Court is inclined to grant the States’s request, the Court hold a hearing Monday morning before doing so." Sunday: Court schedules hearing for Monday 11am (with a public phone line)

The greatest political scandal today is not what Trump is doing. It is the fact that congressional Republicans have given up their role in the constitutional system as a check on the executive branch. If we are in a constitutional crisis, it is as much on Mike Johnson and John Thune as anyone else.

It is important to celebrate the wins when we get them.🥳 President Donald Trump’s administration halted defunding the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, after Democracy Forward, on behalf of the city of Baltimore and a nonprofit, filed a lawsuit. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Musk has wielded the power of an official who would need to be formally appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate, but he hasn’t gone through that constitutionally required process, the states argued. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Chris Murphy: "I think this is the most serious constitutional crisis the country has faced, certainly since Watergate. The president is attempting to seize control of power, and for corrupt purposes ... he's trying to crush his opposition ... this is a red alert moment ... our democracy is at risk"

This made me very happy. SHEEEEES BACK!!!!!!
