Members of the military are supposed to be loyal to the Constitution, not the president. Changing that seems to have been the point of the Friday Night Massacre. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

Imagine my surprise when Babymama #4 showed up looking for her loot from the Ketamine King.

Our latest: The Resistance is alive and well and angry. Please consider reading and sharing. No paywall.

This is what a leader looks like 🔥🔥 Slava Ukraini 🇺🇸🇺🇦 Geroyam Slava 🇺🇦 #SheShed

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

I posted this longer version on X #Emails2DOGE cc: [email protected]

“In some ways that’s even more chilling than firing the four stars,” Rosa Brooks, a professor at Georgetown Law. “It’s what you do when you’re planning to break the law: you get rid of any lawyers who might try to slow you down.” By NYT Greg Jaffe www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u...

If you missed them when they became bestsellers, now is the time to read them. They will help prepare you for what is ahead. (I expect no royalties from any sales, so I am simply recommending the books on the basis of their content; I do not care if you borrow them, get them used, whatever).

Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

From an FDA probationary employee: the firings are coming from outside the agency without cause and with zero input from supervisors (as promised.) More firings expected between now and Tuesday. Do not open the termination email before you download your documents and performance evals.

I remember when Attorney General Pam Bondi said she'd protect federal whistleblowers in her confirmation hearing. Now they're being threatened with illegal "discipline, including dismissal."

When some conversation inevitably leaks from DOGE about "culling the undesirables" will the press finally cover their mission as premeditated murder?

Deputy AG Lionel Hutz quickly scribbling an ampersand onto it.

🤨I usually agree with Marc, not this time: Rs in congress are doing nothing because Trump is effectuating the agenda that THEY have sought for decades: 🎯The annihilation of the "administrative state"🎯 ⛔They never cared about the Constitution ⏰WAKE UP!⏰ 👇Please read while you can👇 #BeRelentless

1/29: First plane crash in 16 years in DC 1/31: Crash in Philly 2/5: Delta flight struck in Seattle 2/6: Flight wrecks in Alaska 2/10: Crash in Scottsdale 2/12: Military jet crashes in San Diego 2/16: Crash in Covington, GA 7 crashes since the WH congratulated itself for “restoring aviation safety”

This is the way.

Many are asking: “What can I do now?” Here’s a revised and expanded list of actions you can take, in rough order of importance. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/more-on-what-you-can-do

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

Not a coincidence that the thing on the right happened right after the thing on the left came out.

Ayup

Over 100 ICE agents spent 5 hrs in Chicago last week, arresting only 2. In Denver & Aurora, CO, over 400 agents were dispatched for migrant violence linked to Tren de Aragua. After knocking on hundreds of doors, only 1 member was arrested. (NYP, ABC News)

Mother jones actually broke this story. The Washington Post failed to mention that, and in fact, took credit for the scoop.

a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

Filed in District Court today. Judge Berman Jackson making sure the record will always be reflective of what really happened that day.

Pam Bondi is disbanding the Foreign Influence Task Force - the FBI team that is charged with combatting foreign meddling in US elections. Worth asking how this makes us more safe in any way, shape, or form.

A federal judge has suspended President Donald Trump’s mass federal employee buyout scheme until at least Monday, when arguments on the program will be heard at a court hearing.

When you solve for the wrong problem, not only do you not get the solution, you can cause harm. The President wasted water that was being saved for farmers for a PR stunt. This was harmful, ludicrous, and solved nothing.

The fact that we can always make gov’t more efficient doesn’t mean that Elon Musk, someone with conflicts of interest everywhere you look, should be running the show. Trump could have started with the inspectors general, whose job that is, but instead of empowering them, he fired them.

Just add “Fox News is my Bible” and the set is complete.

'Veterans risked their lives to defend our country, and they deserve better than to have an unelected billionaire reviewing their medical records, targeting the benefits they have earned, or using their private information for personal gain.' www.huffpost.com/entry/democr...

the OTHER thing about the white house’s anti-diversity push is that like old fashioned segregation it is explicitly an effort to undermine unions! like c’mon! don’t be stupid!

I don't know how many ways to say this but I don't do this. I don't use WhatsApp. I don't use Telegram. I don't ask you to contact me for any reason. It's always an imposter and a scam. Don't fall for it, please.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Wow! The number of @bsky.app users just passed 31 MILLION!👏 LETS DO THIS!

DOGE engineers as young as 19 have terrorized senior staffers at the Office of Personnel Management as they try to gain access to sensitive information. One young DOGE worker reportedly screamed at senior developers and called them “idiots” during a meeting.

Jasmine Crockett, after accusing colleagues of castrating their Constitutional duty, said, “My job is to make sure we don’t have any kings or queens in this country, but it seems like you all have decided it’s going to be Mr. King and his queen. And y’all can pick which one is which.”

Murphy: "This is a constitutional crisis that we are in today. Let's call it what it is."

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

This is a reminder that no one can convince Trump voters to no longer support Trump, better than Trump can.
