Worst. Episode. EVER.

There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.

But he’s…sorry, checking notes…a Member of Congress of the ruling party. Huh.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

He’s right again.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social @agwilliamtong.bsky.social what’s the plan to protect access to vital medications that the brainworm trust is targeting?

People on X are calling for AOC's arrest for posting this.... so I am posting it everywhere!

Trump & Musk are trying to fire 100,000+ civil servants right now - including over 1,000 VA employees. Purges are happening at SBA, Energy, Education & more. Firing this many critical employees at once could make it impossible for our government to provide BASIC services.

I mean, this is how you do it

Having passed up the opportunity years ago to run DOJ’s Civil Division, I’ve never run a large organization, let alone at DOJ. So I’m no expert. But I’m gonna spitball that if hundreds of your subordinates want to tell you to “go fuck yourself,” you might, perhaps, have a management problem.

A very conservative prosecutor says no fucking way to Trump DOJ henchman Emil Bove: www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

Guid mornin and ye’re welcome

This order could not be clearer. Those who refuse to obey a court order risk criminal contempt. We expect the federal government to immediately release all illegally withheld funding to our states, and we will not back down until that happens.

Saying out loud what we’re all thinking

Today is International Day of Women & Girls in Science. Marie Curie, the first woman to win a Nobel Prize. Her contributions have left an indelible mark on the world of science & health & continue to inspire generations of scientists & innovators. 🔬 #WomenInScience #WomenInSTEM

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.

But shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ship’s company down to doom with him?

If this happens - and if Musk et al get control of BLS - then all economic bets are off. I can’t say it any more plainly than that.

This. Is. Not. Legal. WHERE THE FUCK IS THE LAWSUIT????

I know we can’t run around on fire every time Trump says something but he appears to have just announced the new US policy on Gaza which is to take ownership of it, ethnically cleanse it of the 1.8 million Palestinians there and maintain a long term ownership stake as it’s “developed.”

Jaw dropping concept-but totally predictable That FBI agents must sue to protect themselves *from the president* and his allies It’s exactly what you’d expect after he pardoned all the criminals who battered 140 police on January 6 But it doesn’t make it any less disgusting

A message to Elon Musk’s staffers: Your names are known, and America will ensure you never get another job again.

The Trump Administration’s threats to federal law enforcement are nothing short of a welcome mat for cybercriminals, terrorists, human traffickers and drug cartels. Anything short of a complete and utter rebuke by Kash Patel of this dangerous purge must be immediately disqualifying.

Exclusive: Federal workers have filed an emergency motion requesting a restraining order to disconnect the DOGE server that's being used to conduct Trump's "deferred resignation program." The workers had previously accused DOGE of illegally bypassing a mandated privacy audit. By me at @wired.com:

The State Department has fired about 60 contractors who work for its democracy, human rights, and labor bureau — a division whose programs have often been criticized by authoritarian leaders. The dismissals deal a severe blow to the bureau. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/u...

"House Republicans are considering treating work benefits such as employer-provided transportation, free food and on-site gyms as a new source of taxable income to help pay for President Trump's tax cuts." www.msn.com/en-us/money/...

This is a perfect example of today's congressional Republican -- she confidently repeats an idiotic lie from Trump that's already been disproven, is immediately called out for the lie, and just lets what would normally be a career-ending moment roll right off her back. No brain, no shame.

More than 8,000 web pages across more than a dozen U.S. government websites have been taken down since Friday afternoon, a NYT analysis found. The purges have removed info about vaccines, veterans' care, hate crimes, and scientific research, among many other topics. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/02/u...

The newest Rep from Maryland came out swinging: Representative Elfreth: "Elon Musk has called said a criminal organization, and yet, he is the one who came in the dark of night in a takeover that is illegal."

It’s. Already. Against. The Law.

We desperately, urgently need a media that isn’t afraid to name this as the evisceration of the federal government. That is what is going on. We cannot only be comfortable using such language when the situation is far away in time or space. It’s happening here. We need to be clear.

“The coddling is for the white boys.” @repjasmine.bsky.social speaking truth

Congratulations to Trump on securing a $1.3 billion border security deal from Canada.... which was already negotiated in December 2024.
