Over on X, simple tweets by my colleague Greg Bluestein of the Atlanta Journal Constitution have been blocked. They were nothing but video of a town hall held by Rep. Rich McCormick R-GA where he was asked questions about DOGE

Republican Kevin Kiley booed hard as he showed up with Trump’s transportation Secretary Duffy to attack California’s high speed rail project.

Saving money is only impressive if you can maintain quality at the same time. If I throw you out on the street and say "You're welcome, I just saved you a monthly rent payment" that's not really helpful

the thing is, i WANT to be working and constantly breaking news on DOGE, but this 4x/week RTO will get in the way of that!!!

This is why I’ll always go to the mattresses on conservatives being the naive ones about government and “solutions”. They support guys who confidently tell them that everything they don’t understand is a malicious secret, and can be fixed if only someone pushes the magic “fix everything” button.

Zachary Levi's brain is filled with pigeon stool, Fox News is a propaganda outlet, and if Zachary Levi is on Fox News making this point that should be a strong indicator to Democrats this issue has legs and they should be pushing it.

It’s so funny to me how Twitter used to be the monoculture of the internet age, then it kicked Trump off, he started a cheap knockoff as a vanity mouthpiece, then Elon bought Twitter and turned it into a knockoff of the knockoff.

RW men glomming onto NPC as their big insult is so funny to me, assuming they’re gamers at all. It’s admitting the world is empty to them without those people to react to. They’re defining their own existence in the world as some lone actor either messing with rules or playing out a designed game.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

Without going all Martin Niemöller here, I do think that it's bad not to speak up for immigrants, transgender Americans, civil servants, women, Ukraine, and everyone else the MAGA bullies are going after. We're beyond picking and choosing whom to defend. It's time to stand up and speak out.

i feel like this is evidence for my view that people experience trump through a strong form of ironic detachment. they literally do not perceive him as real.

Oh my god, Ukraine dipped the entire Russian Black Sea Fleet into the world of shit with $270,000 naval drones and sank its fucking flagship with two obsolete missiles -- and the largest naval power of all time that has 11 carrier strike groups says it's not prepared to face Russia at sea?

And how much do they get fined for wrongfully detaining a hispanic person here legally? Nothing, you say? Well, I wonder how that incentive will play out.

Dropping the Adams case is so obviously corrupt and unethical that a former Scalia clerk resigned on principle. This is not a partisan issue; it's a question of whether DOJ will be weaponized by this administration on behalf of its allies and against its opponents. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/n...

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

NEW: At least three more DOJ Public Integrity Unit senior officials have resigned after meeting with Emil Bove on the Eric Adams case. Five in Public Integrity overall. That’s six officials who resigned, triple the number that happened during the Saturday Night Massacre.

Not that anyone cares but a bunch of senior doj officials resigning over a corrupt instruction to drop a case was what triggered the Nixon impeachment, and in the Trump era it's just the 2pm scandal of a random Thursday and every day now has ~3 such scandals that would have ended any prior admin
