Since DOGE is facing a lot of hearings before the federal judiciary sending these emails to federal judges may turn out to have been shortsighted. Just a thought.

Five things I accomplished last week: 1. Sued Musk & DOGE (repeatedly) 2. Got Musk blocked out of Treasury 3. Sued Trump (repeatedly) 4. Helped persuade SCOTUS to leave anti-Trump injunction in place 5. Got booked @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.social Join us at 9 AM ET Sunday morning to discuss!

Trump voters lack empathy. We knew that already. They didn't care about Trump’s violent coup attempt that led to several deaths, his hate speech, the sexual assaults, his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, decades of fraud and refusing to pay vendors. Empathy, it turns out, is an act of self-defense

They're not going to stop at Nazi salutes. They're not doing it for the thrills. The Nazis built death camps. MAGA wants death camps.

NY Times served up propaganda for Stalin and Hitler, too

In the era that I studied when I was still part of the academic world one recurrent topic was that of "over-mighty subjects". This referred to subjects of the Crown who were themselves so powerful that they threatened the sovereign power of the Crown itself. In the US we have no sovereign, or ...

It would be sweet if we could get #Krasnov trending ;)

Usefully sober fact sheet on Ukraine. Please share with those who need it. understandingwar.org/backgrounder...

Posted by @rothschildmd.bsky.social on another platform: “The entire federal government now apparently reports to Elon Musk, who is not the president, doesn't run DOGE according to Trump administration court filings, has no authority to remove federal employees, and tweets all day.”

“Business acumen.” Hahahahahahaha!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Alaska voters 👇🏻 Senate amendment reinstating terminated DOI and Forest Service employees was narrowly voted down. Of note, Murkowski voted yea, Sullivan voted Nay. If you feel some type of way about it, let them know!"

Comrade Krasnov, Russian asset since 1980s. [Yes, this is photoshopped.]

Elon’s mass harassment email to all federal employees underscores the importance of having unions to represent workers against abusive management.

#Krasnov I would love it if this # goes viral... And better yet.. he will hate it...

This has aged like the finest Italian wine youtu.be/KLODGhEyLvk?...

Trump: "We even got rid of people like Pete Buttigieg, who did the worst job of anybody in the history of transportation. What a bunch of losers."

Orwell and his wife Eileen spent their honeymoon fighting fascists in the Spanish Civil War. The Soviet secret police ransacked their hotel room in Barcelona. Orwell’s Spain journals are believed to be in Moscow to this day

I've now seen Elon's weekend harassment email to federal workers. Here's what it says. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/elon-...

I am grateful that so many people found my open letter to Elon Musk moving and want to share it. Some well meaning people are just cutting and pasting it on their social media feeds. I would appreciate it if people would link to the version posted on @democracydocket.com instead. Thanks. Marc

Donald Trump is making sure his friends, from Jeff Bezos to Elon Musk, are getting massive tax cuts. Instead of lowering prices for working families, his taxes will make life harder than ever. Here in Illinois, we're finding a way forward together to fight the challenges.

#ProudBlue #BlueSkyResistance I’m reading “A People’s History of the United States” by Howard Zinn. I’m only one chapter in & I’m already horrified. The brutality of Christopher Columbus & the explorers is unimaginable. We STOLE this land & TORTURED the natives to take what wasn’t ours.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman.”

The House could vote next week on drastic cuts to Medicaid that would gut critical programs that protect the civil rights and dignity of millions of Americans — including people with disabilities. Contact your member of Congress: No cuts to Medicaid.

Musk’s cost-cutting team is eliminating jobs at the vehicle safety agency that oversees Tesla and has launched investigations into deadly crashes involving his company’s cars. apnews.com/article/musk...
