Sen. Chris Murphy: “This isn’t hyperbole to say that we are staring the death of democracy in the eyes right now. The centerpiece of our democracy is that we observe court rulings. No one is above the law, and whether we like it or not, the courts interpret the law.” (CNN)

Dear media, No, Trump isn’t “signaling” that he “might” ignore the courts. He. Is. Ignoring. The. Fucking. Courts. The end. Do your damn job.

“I like, frankly, the concept when North Carolina gets hit, the governor takes care of it. When Florida gets hit, the governor takes care of it. Meaning the state takes care of it,” Trump said. (Florida receives the most funding from FEMA of any state.)

Dems should propose a law that immediately requires every fed agency to post on @bsky.app account, every outlay with a detailed description, $, and a link to existing gov sites with in depth details Rather than trying to keep Elon out, pre-empt him so he cant miss characterize spending.

Elon Musk has no business being anywhere near our personal data. It's that simple. Pass it on. Also, @jessicatarlov.bsky.social is in the trenches fighting MAGA on Fox News everyday, if you don't follower her, you should!

This seems really significant. The Judge will want to know how the error occurred and who fed the lawyers inaccurate information. Government lawyers are trained to make sure their representations to the court on material matters are truthful and accurate. Judge Kelley is unlikely to be pleased.

The only way to be sure that Musk does not have illegally gained federal funds mixed in with his personal wealth after the past three weeks is to confiscate ALL his wealth and secure it in the US Treasury for the American taxpayers. Make him forfeit every penny. #StopMusk

Susan Collins has told reporters she will vote for Psycho Bob to lead the HHS. It proves one thing. Susan Collins is incapable of learning a single lesson.

As companies shell out big bucks for Super Bowl commercials, remember that many said they were forced to raise prices due to inflation. Also remember that average profit margins in nearly every sector in the S&P 500 are running near or above 10-year highs. Hello???

This was never about improving government. Only dismantling it. And a reminder of what government is: Of the people, by the people, for the people. It's our collective means of protecting ourselves, helping each other, doing more than we could alone. Government isn't under attack: WE are.

Just awful: One of the inspector generals that Trump fired was examining Elon Musk's failures to meet reporting protocol designed to safeguard national security as a major recipient of Pentagon contracts. It's time to follow up on that. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1913...

This is how the world views the US. Australia calling out fascism, then adding that "Trump is a disaster for humanity and he belongs behind bars, not the oval office."

There’s a false narrative out there that as president, Trump can do whatever he wants with the executive branch. False! Congress has passed laws creating agencies, appropriating funds, and crafting procedures. Constitution requires President to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.”

We need to call out the blatant lie being pushed by the Trump administration—that Elon’s staffers have only “read-only” access. It has been confirmed across departments that they have “administrative” access to computer systems.
