The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup d’etat happening is BONKERS

If we confirm Kash Patel, knowing what we are getting, we will only have ourselves to blame.

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.

“MaYbe shE’s goiNg to be in TroUble nOw” Maybe he can learn to read. The Constitution would be a good place to start

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

I'm hearing now that *every* technologist CFPB hired to investigate Big Tech was fired this evening. That's somewhere between 70-100 people. wired.com/story/dozens-of-cfpb-workers-terminated-in-after-hours-firing-blitz/

What could go wrong? www.npr.org/2025/02/13/n...

I thought they were all self-made rugged individualists who didn’t rely on socialism.

Forever, the courts have been an important arbiter of what a President can, and can’t do. That is under threat now: adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/trump-like...

Interesting: the State Department’s procurement forecast detailing a $400 million order for "armored Tesla" has now been edited to "armored electric vehicles." The document shows the edit was made tonight at 9:12 p.m. -- after it was highlighted in reports

Creative accounting AKA Covering your ass

Of course the Democrats will be going to Houston to find and interview voters who were laid off , to ask them what their expectations of the new administration were and how they feel they are doing at the moment. And posting here and everywhere. Right ?

The key to spotting embezzlement is that it involves a betrayal of trust or duty. While this looks different in every state, generally, these four factors must be present: www.justice.gov/archives/jm/...

14 states file lawsuit arguing Elon Musk’s authority at DOGE is unconstitutional - NBC News

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

A counterintelligence disaster is right. This is a highly unusual request from the White House, and an even more unusual compliance for the CIA. This will put lives at risk.

What the FUCK

BREAKING: All overseas missions for the U.S. Agency for USAID, have been ordered to shut down and all staff will be recalled by Friday, CBS News reports USAID has more than 10,000 employees, with about two-thirds serving overseas This outrageous move will only bolster China’s global influence.

Am I having a stroke or did Trump just talk about the US “owning” Gaza? And maybe sending US troops?

REPORTER: You are talking tonight about the US taking over a sovereign territory. What authority would allow you to do that? Are you talking about a permanent occupation? TRUMP: I do see a long term ownership position

Absolute fucking insanity tonight on Gaza. Our country is being run by a madman. Two weeks of complete chaos and lunacy.

From peace on earth and no more wars to inserting US troops into the longest and most vexing modern conflict in the Middle East.🤔

Frost: Trump fired pretty much every inspector general in the entire country federally. And then a little bit later, we hear that Elon Musk now has access to that federal payment system with zero oversight..

And just like that, MAGA doesn’t give a shit about the First Amendment anymore

Pay attention to all of the voices on the right insulting NATO. This is a trial balloon for Trump pulling out.

Everyone realizes they’re trying to shift the Overton Window, right? They’re conditioning you to be accepting of the insane shit they’re doing now so you’ll accept the more insane shit they do later.

It’s insane to me that we’re just… letting non-government personnel rifle through government code. The SysAdmins have to be losing their fucking minds right now.

These are the clowns Congress refuses to stop.

Hey everyone. It’s Feb 3rd, and the Democrats have been at home since Jan 24th because the house is out of session. They should have come back, the place is on fire. Get suing, messaging, demonstrating, speaking, everything and ANYTHING

Several conversations today w people in the key executive departments. And while the particulars are hard to pin down my impression is that the Musk take over stuff is considerably worse than is being presented in the press. By this I don’t necessarily things they *done* yet but the level of …

Knowing the names of the an unelected oligarch’s underlings who are destroying the government from within is a crime now, apparently.

It is morally wrong to induce people to register or vote with the potential promise of $1 M. #MuskMask

Unelected or unconfirmed officials and their surrogates should NOT be locking up government employees out of their office and downloading information from their computers. #MuskMask

Reid has known Elon even longer than I have. He knows I am speaking the Truth.

We conducted an 8 year study of MAGA. We know (and have thoroughly explained) how they were brainwashed and became a cult. Please spread this. threadreaderapp.com/thread/18211...

Trump wants to distract you from the fact that he gutted the Aviation Safety Committee and ousted the FAA administrator last week. Don’t let him.

Zero commercial airline crash fatalities out of millions of flights when Dems were in charge.

NEW: At least 6 senior FBI officials have been ordered to resign or be fired by Monday. They include those that oversee cyber, national security and criminal investigations. www.cnn.com/2025/01/30/p...

Sen. Schiff presses Kash Patel to look at the Capitol Police officers behind him. Patel doesn't. "I want you to look at them if you can, if you have the courage … and tell them you're proud of what you did. Tell them you're proud that you raised money off of people that assaulted their colleagues."

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

Gosh, I remember when we had an actual president instead of a loudmouth bully who won't take responsibility for his actions.

This press conference on the DC crash is an embarrassment. Just a lot of rambling.

NEW: My staff has confirmed reports that Medicaid portals are down in all 50 states following last night's federal funding freeze. This is a blatant attempt to rip away health care from millions of Americans overnight and will get people killed.

If you wanted to know how an autocracy would start in America, it begins by releasing violent thugs from prison who beat up police defending Congress, illegally firing every Inspector General, and seizing billions appropriated by Congress for people with no authority to do so.

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: “We grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”

The house is starting another Jan 6 committee. I actually look forward to re-litigating this. Let’s do it. 187 minutes of watching people assault cops, then pardoning them Bring it on Mike
