Devastating !! Fears for authoritarianism at the door DOGE steals data. Covers their tracks What and Why? Not for efficiency- it’s espionage www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

"Within minutes after DOGE accessed the NLRB's systems, someone with an IP address in Russia started trying to log in. The attempts were 'near real-time'... "Whoever was attempting to log in was using one of the newly created DOGE accounts..." www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

BREAKING: The House passed a bill that limits judges' ability to block the Trump administration's unconstitutional actions nationwide. This bill is a threat to the rule of law and endangers all of our rights — the Senate must reject it.

"If DOGE has found all this FRAUD and MONEY — then WHY: 1) no one charged with fraud? 2) govt spending has increased? 3) no distribution of savings? MAYBE — it’s a propaganda/data initiative that has nothing to do [with] the stated mission" –Jack Schlossberg

I was thinking that none of those numbers made sense, but holy fuck this is insane

Instead of cancelling the White House Correspondents Dinner over the shutting out of the Associated Press, the WHCA is cancelling its comedian so not to offend Trump. Now more than ever, it’s important to support independent journalism. thehill.com/blogs/in-the...

The last three Republican presidents wrecked the economy. The last three Democratic presidents had to fix things.

The morning that Cmdr. Elizabeth Nakagawa was scheduled to have a D&C to remove fetal tissue after losing a very wanted pregnancy, she learned the surgery had been canceled because the military’s health insurance plan refused to pay for it. (Published Dec. 2024)

The real story isn’t that the Trumpians let a journalist into a group chat, it is that they are plotting against Europe.

the people who told you to calm down about Roe are the same people telling you to calm down about Social Security, in case you hadn't noticed

Here is the full text of Rachel Cohen’s firm-wide email:

Folks always ask me how they can make a difference. Find an elderly person who isn’t tech savvy. Help them confirm their Social Security information online. Starting March 31, phone verification will no longer be allowed for Social Security benefits, and in person will be slower as offices close.

Can’t imagine what this poor little guy is thinking tonight

DOGE has spent the last six weeks on a supposed crusade to audit the government and stop fraud, waste, and abuse. But two federal auditors with years of experience say that DOGE’s actions are the furthest thing from what an actual audit looks like. wrd.cm/420UPoq

A 2024 GAO report found the IRS netted a savings of $13,000 for every additional hour spent auditing wealthy individuals’ tax returns. Watch reporter @andykroll.bsky.social break down how DOGE cuts to the IRS could cost more than DOGE will ever save ⤵️ 📽️: @josesepulveda.bsky.social

Pentagon has been ordering the removal of web site references to General Colin Powell and the Tuskegee Airmen and one of the flag-raisers at Iwo Jima as part of a crackdown on DEI. Have you no shame Pete Hegseth?(hat tip to Task and Purpose, WaPo for reporting) youtube.com/shorts/0HJpe...

I really can’t overstress how insane this is from a security perspective. Apparently adversary espionage services get to play on easy mode for a few years.

Hi, I'm the guy who used to oversee the federal government's agency IT telecommunications contracts. This is extremely bad. There is absolutely no need for this. Not only is it a huge security exposure, but the simplest explanation for this is that it is meant to be a security exposure.

Wondering why you're not seeing the American people's rising up across the country? Because suppression of information is what the 5 dictators across the world want. We're here. We're getting loud. We're getting rowdy. We're not backing down.🇺🇸🏴‍☠️ #SheShed #Voices4Victory #DemocracyWarriors

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.
