The Trump administration’s Ukraine policy conceals a “source of future disaster,” @eliotacohen.bsky.social writes. “No one will contradict the president, and no one will raise alarms about stupid and immoral policies.”

Congressional Democrats should be holding a 24-7 vigil at the Capitol until the coup ends, including procedural blocks, encouraging demonstrations and hosting people who can speak to the consequences of Trump and Musk's illegal actions. We are so far outside business as usual. It's maddening.

The geniuses at the Democratic Party settling on “maybe we were too woke” rather than “a cabal of billionaire pedophile Nazis are stealing your money and taking a sledgehammer to your future” is astonishing. Just one of those things

As a political scientist who studies countries that managed to stop the slide into authoritarianism, I can assure you that refraining from provoking the authoritarian is not how it works. Without further ado, I will now go tear out another chunk of hair.

We cannot ignore how shockingly abnormal it is for a private citizen — who himself has contracts with the federal government — to dispatch a private army of executives, data experts and recent high schoolers to dictate policies to federal agencies. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/elon...

Marbury v Madison is a seminal case from 1803 that holds that the federal courts must determine the constitutionality of the actions of the other two branches of government. Hope that helps, Stephen.

Musk has sicced his followers on the WSJ writer who reported on a DOGE staffer’s racist online, history demanding her firing. This is a tactic Silicon Valley’s neoreactionaries have been advocating for years: Pick a reporter, dox and harrass, make an example of them, make everyone else afraid.

Basically if anyone ever dares to actually arrest them they are guaranteed a pardon by the President. And since the checks and balances included Congress, the stupid assumption was that Congress would care if their power was stripped and they don't and the final say in the judicial is long gone

If this is how Trump treats a four star admiral, imagine how little he gives a shit about any individual in any of the armed forces. Military leadership and rank and file service members should remember that before they enact any upcoming illegal and immoral orders. It feels wrong because it is.

Have any of these DOGE employees completed a background investigation? Have they been given access to the agency’s sensitive compartmented information facility? What protocols are being utilized to protect our national security interests? Members of Congress must demand answers now.

As expected, the Trump team is already deleting climate info from government websites. In anticipation, our team at Urban Ocean Lab created a permanent archive of 100+ key resources and published a permanent archive: www.urbanoceanlab.org/resource-hub 👩🏽‍💻

There are currently 67,102 studies registered at clinicaltrials.gov that are (well, were, probably, until this week) actively recruiting participants, and 20,690 studies that are active but not recruiting right now. This is SO many people we're talking about.

If the federal minimum wage had grown in step with worker productivity, like it did until 1968, it would be well over $20 today. Instead, it’s been stuck at $7.25 for 15 straight years. Does that seem fair?
