Just reread this brilliant @vanityfair.com piece on Stephen and Katie Miller. It remains the best window into their vile souls www.vanityfair.com/news/2020/08...

if you know anything about katie miller i’m marisakabas.04 on signal

stop writing that he’s leaving DOGE without mentioning that just a few days ago the solicitor general told the United States Supreme Court that he is not part of DOGE

It’s always “two weeks”

Someone needs to bring a big arena rock sized amplifier up in front of the White House and just put sad trombone on infinite loop.

This sociopath destroyed countless lives and made life worse for millions of Americans, sneering at them as he indulged his narcissistic impulsivity. But now he has feelings. What are they and will he feel better soon? We asked in a six-part series. Today in the New York Times

“If Trump and his supporters can defame others,” writes David Frum, “they can dull voters’ awareness of the astounding and horrible uniqueness of Trump’s corruption”:

Federally-qualified health centers and community health centers will collapse due to the dangerous GOP cuts to Medicaid, and no amount of charity or philanthropy will fix it. This means half of kids in our country will lose their health care coverage.

At some point Wall Street is going to wake up to the reality that they've been taken by a con man. We're out here doing our best to make that day come as quickly as possible. #teslatakedown www.wired.com/story/theres...

Only rubes and a complicit media believe that Musk is ending his self-serving assault on our government, and the murderous cuts to vital services. #TeslaTakedown isn't going anywhere. Join a protest or create one in your city at Teslatakedown.com

Looks like another oligarch's paper is trying to rehab Elon's image. Makes you think maybe the protests and the brand damage we've done are rattling the whole oligarch class. Let's make sure they stay rattled. Join an action this week, or host one in your community: teslatakedown.com #teslatakedown

And we're not even close to finished. #teslatakedown

Couple things: 1. Elon is full of shit. Ignore the credulous media. He won't stop wreaking havoc. 2. We're winning, but it will take time. Take to the street, fight back, make your voices heard. Dump your Tesla, sell your stock. Join a #TeslaTakedown protest or create your own at TeslaTakedown.com!

This happened because of you. You protested at TeslaTakedowns and made his name and his company’s product reviled. You protested outside federal agencies slated for DOGE cuts. You barred doors, protected data. You sued and won. You WORE HIM OUT. Don’t let them spin it any other way.

Phang: If you have to resort to deceit to get something done, that tells me what you’re doing is wrong. What’s happening is a dup-and-scoop: people are being duped into going to court, their cases get dismissed, and then they’re scooped up by ICE and deported under expedited removal.

MUST WATCH: ICE kidnapped a disabled American citizen. Her name is Alma Bowman. Born in the Philippines while her dad served in the U.S. Navy. She’s lived here 48 years. They crashed her wheelchair, denied meds, cut her off from her lawyer—and jailed her. She. Is. A. Citizen.

NPR's new lawsuit is a powerhouse, identifying multiple, independent ways the Trump administration violated the Constitution in order to take revenge on public media. Bottom line? This administration is scared of the truth & this lawsuit reveals that weakness. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

More of this, please.

This is the best team crossover video I've ever seen.

Breaking News: A judge said the government should release Kseniia Petrova, a Russian scientist employed by Harvard University, saying U.S. customs had “no factual or legal basis” for revoking her visa.

Yup.
