"Six weeks ago, we had the strongest economy, employment, and stock market in history. ..All gone in 30 days."

Feeling that shift too. When that shift happens, push harder. This is one of these rare occasions where it’s a sprint, not a marathon. You either stop Trump & Musk now or it becomes so much harder, with a much higher toll, down the road.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

Todays hero

Here we go. Certain generals must be removed before any martial law plan is put into action—as Trump and Hegseth are worried there may still be some generals out there who support the Constitution rather than his proposed dictatorship. This is a political purge intended as a precursor to far more.

If you’re looking for villains in the erosion of democracy, remember that the corporate media spent weeks obsessing over Joe Biden’s choice of footwear, but when Donald Trump declared that he’s above the law they basically shrugged and moved on.

New on MSNBC: Pete Hegseth is considering firing a slate of military generals and flag officers as early as this week, according to two defense officials and three congressional officials.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Cowards, hiding behind closed doors. Poised to rob the poor to feed the rich. The craven billionaires, warned by our Founding Fathers, beholden to a Golden Calf who wants to make himself king. Will the Republic crumble, or are there any spines among these myopic men? 1/

Please tell me the end of this country will not be because of a small, petty reality show tv star? We are better than this - have been better than this.

Since Elon’s shitty AI and a handful of teenagers are running things, it seems as though people have been put in the Fork resignation program that didn’t sign up for it. DO NOT VALIDATE RESIGNATION. See below:

Is Elon a govt employee? If he is, he needs to be held responsible for the intense and number lies he is putting out with constant “if true then…” If he isn’t then he needs to get the hell away from my govt.

YOUR MOMENT OF ZEN! The blue suns are moving away from you. The red suns are moving towards you. Imagine the size of the star that exploded to make this!

I mean I'm on board with this idea.

Wait, the guy you said was Tony Stark was actually Lex Luthor?

One thing that I'm increasingly coming to believe is that stories are going to be central to what comes next. Stories of the harm done. Stories of the great things achieved by government in the past. Stories of valor kindness and quotidian simple resistance.

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

“Dumbest Goddamn Student Ever” Ends Department of Education

Do Americans want safe food? Which Departments are responsible for food safety? USDA HHS -> FDA and CDC Commerce -> NOAA (fisheries) If one Department is disabled, we don’t have safe food Enjoy your dinner 🍲

On point.

"It is good to enjoy, for one day you did nothing to cause and nothing to earn, the gift of being nothing but alive and happy in the beautiful world." Forget "remote learning." Everyone - even adults - should enjoy an occasional snow day.

The CFPB has returned $21 billion to 205 million consumers who were scammed at the hands of predatory banks. You can root out waste, fraud, and abuse... or you can eliminate the CFPB. But you can't do both.

Lord knows I’m not a constitutional scholar not even a lawyer (and I’ve yet to check in with @kateshaw.bsky.social) but a legal regime in which “you can do crimes if you’re buddies with the president or praise him publicly” is *on its face* a violation the equal protection of the laws.

Someone at the American Bar Association ate their Wheaties this morning.

Good morning! 1) We need at least one member of Congress to attempt to break through the police line at one of these agencies TODAY. Please push this with calls to your electeds, with in person meetings and on social media. 2) If an elected attempts to break the line, give me a heads up? Thank you!

Founding fathers, looking down from heaven. “What the f**k did you guys do?”
