Dear Governors... This country, including you, sent my buddies and I into hostile territory to deal with bullies. If you'd like a free lesson on how to deal with bullies, let me know. Just sitting there and taking this is bullshit. Fuck decorum. Punch Nazis!

OMB director Russ Vought has officially begun carrying out his section of Project 2025. Technical thread to follow, but it’s really important - this is a major path through which the Trump administration will illegally impound funding, refusing to carry out some of our spending laws.

Usually when states go to court alleging federal coercion in violation of the 10th Amendment there is not a literal video of the President doing it.

It's weird how everyone in the world knows a Nazi salute when we see it, with the notable exception of journalists and their editors.

A former Soviet intelligence officer alleges Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987 and given the codename “Krasnov.” Alnur Mussayev served in the 6th Directorate, responsible for counter-intelligence support in the economy. One key objective was “recruiting businessmen from capitalist countries.”

Eliminating accountability for crooked and abusive cops means your priority is protecting crooked and abusive cops instead of the communities they’ve harmed. This is a fascist police state tactic.

Holy crap. At his town hall last night, Rep. Rich McCormick compared his own constituents who asked him tough and fair questions to January 6 insurrectionists

Kash Patel, just confirmed as FBI director, reposted a social media post that showed an AI-generated video of him chainsawing off the heads of Trump’s political foes, including Schiff, Cheney, and Fauci. This is far more threatening than what MAGA-ite Ed Martin has cited. Will he investigate this?

Tough situation. Maybe at some point we can amend the Constitution to provide a specific power Congress can use against an executive who’s unlawfully usurping its authority.

Here in Illinois, ten years ago we saw the consequences of a rampant ideological gutting of government. It genuinely harmed people. Our citizens hated it. Trust me – I was elected based in part on just how much they hated it.

Patel confirmed, 51-49. All the King’s Henchmen are in place. Ignore the rattling sounds… It’s the decayed brains and limp spines left by the GOP, at the door, when they entered the 119th Congressional session. Actions have dire consequences… apnews.com/live/trump-p... #SheShed

I'm hearing that the Naval Air Warfare Center is about to fire around 500 probationary civilian employees. Can anyone verify? And does anyone have numbers for Surface Warfare Center and Expeditionary Warfare Center? (We have these three commands in our neighborhood.)

I'd like to bring this multimillion-dollar photo-op to the attention of Elon Musk and DOGE. Instead of firing food inspectors and air traffic controllers and cancelling critical medical research at NIH, stop this outrageous waste of our people's tax dollars!

"Moderate" Republicans vote for Trump Nominee A after A assures them they won't do X. After confirmation, they immediately do X. "Moderate" Republicans say Nominee B assured them they won't do X. After confirmation, they immediately do X. Repeat with Nominees C, D, E, F, G, etc.

When academics, scientists, and (I assume) the national parks and forestry people are forced out of their jobs there aren’t really other equivalent jobs for them. These firings end careers and dreams and research and talent

Has anyone seen reports on firings at the National Science Foundation? I know of one colleague who was let go, and when I looked at the roster of program officers in the Division of Undergraduate Education, the list of people was pretty lean. At least one person I expected to see was not listed.

There are two people in Congress-the chairs of the Senate & House Appropriations Committees-who have enormous power over the illegal impoundment of funds appropriated by Congress, which is sowing chaos across the US. They need to be relentlessly contacted at their offices, in person and by phone. 1/

It’s amazing to me that people still question whether or not Trump is a stooge for Putin.
