After years of them telling us Biden wasn’t really in charge, it’s crystal clear that Trump is not the one in charge.

NEWS: The Trump Administration nears a constitutional crisis as it continues to attack federal judges, suggesting it may defy rulings, a terrible plane crash in Arizona has left one person dead, and Musk is looking to target the federal reserve. Your morning news rundown.

Lord knows I’m not a constitutional scholar not even a lawyer (and I’ve yet to check in with @kateshaw.bsky.social) but a legal regime in which “you can do crimes if you’re buddies with the president or praise him publicly” is *on its face* a violation the equal protection of the laws.

Elon Musk has no business being anywhere near our personal data. It's that simple. Pass it on. Also, @jessicatarlov.bsky.social is in the trenches fighting MAGA on Fox News everyday, if you don't follower her, you should!

my view is that as soon as the administration froze disbursement of congressional appropriations we entered constitutional crisis territory

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

"Musk's team have already gained entrée to data on federal student aid, including the personal information for millions who receive student loans from the government..." www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

The moment we say it's ok to violate the law to shut down one agency – we say it's ok to violate the law to shut down anything.

It’s past time for Treasury to come clean on Musk’s takeover. People's Social Security, Medicare, and their most sensitive personal data is at risk. I'm not going to stop until I get answers.

Kash Patel took the 5th before agreeing to testify before a grand jury. Now he doesn’t want to share his testimony about Trump's unlawful retention of classified documents. @booker.senate.gov, @whitehouse.senate.gov, and I sent a letter demanding that he disclose what he said. It is essential.

It turns out entrusting our democracy to a bunch of white Christian nationalists who only see government as a means to enrich themselves and punish their enemies is a really bad idea, actually.

Here’s what we did today

BREAKING: Thanks to the leadership of @newdealleaders.bsky.social Leader Mayor Kate Gallego, Phoenix reached its housing creation and preservation goal five years early. Good news! ktar.com/arizona-news...

Trump's federal funding freeze has stopped the hiring of thousands of essential, seasonal firefighters. Yes. You read that right. I'm demanding answers from the Trump administration ASAP. They must reverse this freeze.

No one listens to me about installing trap doors in the floor. It's been deemed constitutionally permissible by several scholars.

Someone just thought of this *now*? Omg. 😆

I was just outside the Treasury Department where Elon Musk has launched a full scale authoritarian takeover. My message to Musk is simple: get your hands off our money and get the hell out.

“He’s unqualified, and I daresay that everybody here knows it.” We need more principled senators like Warnock.

None of this is normal. None of this is normal. None of this is normal. None of this is normal. None of this is normal. None of this is normal. None of this is normal. None of this is normal. None of this is normal. None of this is normal. None of this is normal. None of this is normal.

Frankfort, Kentucky!

We need an Attorney General who knows their duty is to the people – not the President. That person is not Pam Bondi.

Keep saying creepy! Call them Musk's bloodboys! This is better!

Bravo, Rep. Marc Pocan !

RFK, Jr: “For 30 years, CDC & NIH have looked at this autism epidemic & said we know it’s not vaccines but we don’t know what’s causing it. Well we’re going to find out what’s causing it & we’re going to do that in a couple of months.” So we should expect to know the cause of autism by April? 😂

had my first family member decline to attend our wedding celebration because she doesn't "believe" in gay marriage!!!!!!!!! ok queen moving forward, I don't believe in a relationship with you!

they are mostly targeting black employees so this is quite literally just a repeat of woodrow wilson’s segregationist purge of the federal government

I'm still mad about Ken Klippenstein's article from yesterday. You can't be any kind of leftist, or even just left-of-center liberal, and look down on government bureaucrats. All social programs depend on dedicated civil servants. We can't get anything done without them

i don’t even know if crime is the right word for the illegal destruction of USAID. it is an autocratic power grab and a direct attack on the sovereignty of the american people

Country music fans mad at Beyonce…. Do you realize it was mediocre white dudes that completely bastardized the genre? You cranked up Jason Aldean and now you’re a “purist?” Sit down.

Absolutely. Grind it to a halt.

Shuttering the agency responsible for international assistance. Turning the government over to wealthy oligarchs motivated by economic self-interest. Telling all CIA officers they will be paid if they quit. China and Russia are winning so much they are getting tired of winning.

Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove says of the purge at FBI that the “only individuals who should be concerned … are those who acted with corrupt or partisan intent…” A perfect description of the actions of Trump's own DOJ leadership.

“So many of these things are so wildly illegal that I think they’re playing a quantity game and assuming the system can’t react to all this illegality at once...” www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

“I think the strategy here is: ‘Well, we’re just going to do it and dare somebody to stop us, and by the time they stop us, we’ll have destroyed it.’” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
