The Associated Press has sued three Trump administration officials over access to presidential events, citing freedom of speech in asking a federal judge to stop the 10-day blocking of its journalists.

Absolutely nothing is sacred…

Hundreds in Cleveland, Ohio descend on Tesla spreading across 7 city blocks with cars honking in support to #StopTheCoup #Resistance

More than 200 of us rallied in the freezing rain in Cleveland today to #Resist the Coup and stop the FElon and his Dogeshit. #IndivisibleNEO #StopElon #StopTheCoup

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Everyone follow @carolecadwalla.bsky.social and read her Substacks. She's the Guardian journalist who blew the lid off Cambridge Analytica's data purge from Facebook that led to Brexit. She was featured in the imp doc The Great Hack. She calls Musk's Treasury raid on Jan 31st the real GREAT HACK.

OK, "Reclaim the Treasury Payment System" isn't a great rallying cry for getting the masses out in the streets. But if you're in the media and not writing about Musk's ongoing coup and not screaming, "Fire!," then you are doing it wrong Here's my howl. My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

Mike Johnson insists that Musk's efforts are “not a power grab” while claiming that the halted taxpayer funds were being used to fund drag shows in Colombia and atheism camps in Nepal.

OMFG! 🔥🔥🔥🔥Rep. Jasmine Crockett: "We are going to be in your faces, we're gonna be on your ass, we're going to make sure you understand that this is what democracy looks like!"

President Trump threatens Canada over trade war - saying it should become 'cherished 51st state'

So many of us lived through this, but like any traumatic time in life, I know I blocked out a lot of the details. This is an excellent reminder of the Trump chaos, from ABC Australia. There will be no guardrails this time around.

At least one person at CNN gets it. “I think a lot of it can be explained by the viewers making a decision that they just don’t like what we’re doing,” said a CNN political journalist who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to comment. “The viewers are pretty smart.”

LOL 🤭

And here we go. The political threats ramping up against R Senators who don’t fall into line on Trump’s clown show nominees. Is it a real guardrail or not? We will soon find out. www.newsweek.com/trump-ally-i...

I cannot get over the fact that Republicans only won the House by 7,500 total votes in three congressional districts—an average of 2,500 votes in each. That’s how close Democrats came to taking the House, in a country of over 340 million people. 7,500 votes.

And I’m glad he pardoned Hunter after what Kash Patel has been saying he will do to him for the past 4 yrs. #connectthedots

Corporate media is tripping over itself, finding ways to attack President Biden for pardoning his son. They amplify Trump’s lies and normalize his crimes, while launching vicious criticisms of Biden every single chance they get. I'm absolutely sick of it. Aren't you?

Disinformation isn’t just noise—it’s a tactic that undermines democracy. Our focus: Expose networks and funding behind disinfo. Educate the public to resist deceptive narratives. Engage policymakers to build lasting defenses. Join the fight for a safe information ecosystem americansunlight.org

I’m eager to read this important report on the most underreported issue that was cleary at play in the 2024 presidential campaign- an unprecedented and aggressive disinformation campaign that handed DJT the White House again.

Zuckerberg clearly hasn’t read On Tyranny… seems the oligarchy may be too compelling to resist for all of the founding TechBros.

People are so clever 😂

It’s clear as day what the next Administration is up to. And it is chilling AF.

There is a GOD, thank you ❤️💙❤️💙 Matt Gaetz withdraws bid to be attorney general in Trump administration

Some great Blue news out of Ohio, the House’s longest-serving woman Rep Marcy Kaptur has beaten the Trump-backed candidate in a newly gerrymandered district. A win for Progressives as well. www.politico.com/news/2024/11...

So we all know that our Incoming Fascist will likely use Recess Appointments to take over the Gov’t with his band of clowns, right? 7 months is plenty of time to blow the place up, don’tcha think?

Yes, this. And WaPo estimates that undocumented immigrants pay $100B in taxes too, but the media ignores that little detail. And the deportations are estimated to cost $88B, but we can just gut Medicaid & food stamps to pay for it all. Great economic plan.

not a landslide

🚨BREAKING: Pennsylvania Court REJECTS David McCormick and GOP lawsuit to discard Philadelphia provisional ballots. This victory ensures that 966 voters will have their ballots counted. Congratulations to Team Casey who fought and won for these voters! www.democracydocket.com/cases/pennsy...

If I may? The “Persuadable Public” was hammered by a brazen, Russian-driven Disinfo Campaign that wasn’t countered. It was a psy ops attack. Throw in the whack-a-mole response from US officials & silence from the clueless US legacy media, and you get what we got. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/07/t...
