Chuck Schumer announces a new Whistleblower Portal for public servants seeking to report corruption and abuses of power within the Trump administration.

This might be the most nakedly corrupt document I’ve seen on DOJ letterhead — and I wrote a history of Watergate!

This is — literally — unheard of in federal prosecutions. We can’t prosecute him because he’s a candidate for office? Wow.

Disgusting.

Another @donaldjtrump-maga.bsky.social plane crash! Probably white racists in the cockpit! (And please know I think this talk is disgusting. 😢) www.abc15.com/news/region-...

So I hear @donaldjtrump-maga.bsky.social wants to be "anti-bias" for Christians. OK, so be it. We're ALL about anti-bias about EVERYTHING! #NewRule! DEI is "Anti-Bias"! Make them play by their own rules!

@maloneforsenate.bsky.social your donate and volunteer buttons need to be at the top of your website. Don't hide them.

The best evidence that buying the press pays off.

🧵 I've read more than 60 books on WWII and authoritarian rise in my lifetime and, like many others, I've been screaming about Donald Trump's fascist tendencies for years now. But what, exactly, does it mean to be a fascist? And, is that an appropriate label for the current US President? You tell me!

@filmandseries.bsky.social being disingenuous with their public. Congratulations on joining the likes of #DJT and #EM. "We are clarifying that, ... circumstances may require that certain titles and types of content include ads, even in our 'no ads' or 'ad free' subscription tiers."

This is refreshing news. Keep it up, @tulsacouncil.org and @blackwallst.bsky.social BTW, this is what America USED to look like, no thanks to @donaldjtrump-maga.bsky.social and his suck-ups. www.phillytrib.com/news/across_...

Let's wait to see how long Muckboy goes along with this. PA is a big state for highways, and building our own could be a great attraction to the state. @scanlon.house.gov @governorshapiro.bsky.social justthenews.com/government/f...

Sending THANKS to all of the government workers who are getting the word out about pending events or active efforts to undermine our government operations. #StayStrong! #WeGotYou! @altnps.bsky.social @altfederalworkers.bsky.social @altfed.bsky.social www.propublica.org/article/elon...

On Monday, Trump fired Travis LeBlanc and every other non-Republican member of the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board—a bipartisan watchdog meant to prevent government surveillance abuse. Now, the board has been effectively gutted.

IF (big IF) we get through this, both Congress and the Courts need their own enforcement mechanisms. We cannot TRUST that the Executive branch will act with fidelity and transparency. Until then, if the courts can't stop them and Congress won't stop them, is it now upon the people to stop them?

Who is going to uphold the rule of law in the US? The courts do not have an ability to enforce their judgements. Congress has no police force and the Sergeant at Arms has limited ability to do much. Is it the people now who must act? @democracydocket.com

Project 2025 calls for gutting CISA, a federal agency that protects elections from cyber threats. Here's how it could have grave implications for the future of election security.

Trump treats trade agreements as mere suggestions, which he can ignore if he feels like it. That's bad for business paulkrugman.substack.com/p/how-to-dam...

These graphics are significantly wrong, @wired.com TYT is 4x of Hasan. Probably was in August, too. And Lindy Li writes on the right, not the left. Completely untrustworthy. Geez. www.wired.com/story/visual...

@michaelcoard.bsky.social Well said, as always, and so sad to see. I just don't understand the logic here, and I welcome perspectives and how to communicate and engage effectively with the community. www.phillytrib.com/commentary/m...

“I have been on the bench for over four decades. I can’t remember another case where the case presented is as clear as it is here …This is a blatantly unconstitutional order.” -Judge John C. Coughenour Still NOT a King. Never will be.
