There's going to be news about a woman illegally detained and being forcely removed from a Coeur d'Alene Idaho Town Hall meeting taking place at the high school by men that would not identify themselves wearing plain clothes because she opposed the republican viewpoints. youtube.com/shorts/hhJdH...

This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick.

Of the Chiefs of Staff, vice chiefs of staff, and judge advocates general of the three branches, Trump fired all the women and Black people.

Powerful. Tomorrow’s front page of the most influential weekly publication in Germany. “BETRAYED. First Zelensky, Soon Us? The radical departure of the US from its allies.”

JUST NOW: Trump again refuses to call Putin a “dictator”, despite calling Zelensky one repeatedly He will not criticize Putin

As of noon on Thursday, Trump was president for 31 full days. He spent all or part of 16 of those days at four Trump Organization properties. from @pbump.com: www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

HEADS UP! We need to give this story more attention. This is the next phase - investigations of those who criticize Trump, Musk or SCOTUS. It’s already started. It is a campaign of intimidation designed to silence criticism. wapo.st/3X8d75G

“put it on his fucking gravestone”

this is the kind of tangible thing that people will actually feel this summer

Elon Musk has cut federal cancer research & food for starving children, but hasn’t touched his own $15 billion in federal contracts. He will get richer and Americans will pay for it. Follow the money:

One of the things you are seeing right now is federal employees afraid to go on the record, plus inspectors generals are fired. Qualified and credible voices who know the inner workings of govt are afraid to rebut DOGE's bullshit. This is a real and incredibly consequential chilling effect!

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

audible boos for the US National Anthem in Montreal before the USA-Canada 4 Nations Face-Off hockey game

Tom Homan basically admits to a quid pro quo for dropping the corruption charges against Mayor Eric Adams in exchange for enforcing Donald Trump's mass deportation plan. "If he doesn't come through...I'll be in his office, up his butt, saying 'where the hell is the agreement we came to?'" Vile.

The IRS was a simple test for DOGE: was it really interested in efficiency and state capacity? If so, you support the tax enforcement, the biggest ROI in govt. Or did it want to minimize parts of the state that bothered billionaires? We have our answer. open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

BREAKING Federal Judge Amy Berman Jackson just issued an order preventing the Trump administration from: 1. Deleting CFPB data 2. Firing CFPB employees 3. Transferring money from CFPB's reserve fund Right after the order was issued, nearly all CFPB employees were placed on administrative leave

It's not enough to fire people who are just doing their jobs. It's also important to tell them what losers they are. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Senate Republicans just confirmed RFK Jr. to lead HHS & put YOUR family's health care at risk. An anti-vax conspiracist who knows nothing about essential programs people rely on just became the most powerful health official.

The National Press Club just sent out this statement on the White House blocking an AP reporter today: "Today’s action by the White House is a direct attack on press freedom....The role of the press is not to take orders from the government but rather to hold the government accountable."

Elon Musk has no right to your Social Security, Medicare, or tax returns. That’s why I’m introducing a bill to keep his hands off your private data.

An unelected South African has taken control of the US Treasury and is deciding to stop payments on American obligations, in violation of numerous court orders, and admits in the Oval Office that he has done so upon incorrect information, while the President sits impotently behind the Resolute Desk.

The most sober, respected, you could fairly say establishment normie academic experts are saying it as loudly and plainly as they can: the Constitution is collapsing right now unlike anything in American history.

“We are in the midst of a constitutional crisis right now. There have been so many unconstitutional and illegal actions in the first 18 days of the Trump presidency. We never have seen anything like this.” —Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of University of California, Berkeley law school. Time to stand up:

Your periodic reminder that no tax cut in the history of tax cuts has ever paid for itself.

"Continued access to any payment systems by DOGE members, even ‘read only,’ likely poses the single greatest insider threat risk the Bureau of the Fiscal Service has ever faced.” From a Treasury threat intelligence dept email www.wired.com/story/treasu...

This is the essence of it. You can do any and all of this stuff by passing laws. They're not because they lack the votes. So all of this is illegitimate and frankly illegal. I'll go one step further and say there should not be a senate filibuster. You should be able to do any and all of this by ...

The average Fox News viewer has no idea that Musk is tearing down a system that allowed this country to rule the world for the past 75 years. And when their standard of living slips dramatically in the next five years they still won’t understand because their TV will blame it on some poor scapegoat.

"Two-thirds of the staff of the President’s Malaria Initiative, an organization founded by former President George W. Bush, have been fired, including some of the most senior and respected scientists working on malaria control in the world..." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/h...

The terms, the offer, this is Musk. We're at the point where people need to decide if we want to have a state anymore or simply be the territorial base of SpaceX/Tesla.

Collins: He said that Canada is going to be implementing a $1.3 billion border plan, where they talk about reinforcing the border. I should note that's actually something that was announced back in December

Any news outlet reporting Mexico conceded anything to Trump to get him to delay tariffs has not done its homework. Trump boasts he got Mexico to commit to stationing 10K troops at our border. Apparently he didn't realize Mexico already has 15K troops deployed there prami.ibero.mx/informes-y-i...

Dear Democratic Leaders: here’s a free idea, send members of congress into the buildings where Elons people are and see what they’re doing. Dare them to stop you. Do something

The upshot of this article, is that Musk is operating with no check on his power and impulses, Trump officials, GOP congresspeople, and even Trump himself are worried. And no wonder, Musk is playing Trump to his own ends. (gift link) www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/u...

at least @techdirt.bsky.social is not fucking around

is it good or bad that a billionaire oligarch with close ties to foreign dictators is currently downloading the most sensitive information the us federal government has about its citizens to his own private servers?

NEW - Ottawa Senators fans booed the American national anthem at the beginning of tonight’s hockey game.

Been warning for months that this was going to happen bsky.app/profile/bran...

the message is good. its something we need to see from dem electeds because ads barely move shit. youtu.be/7vqpeeq6Slk

Trump put a freeze on hiring air traffic controllers and, on Musk’s instruction, fired the FAA chief early without replacing him. This should be the only thing Dems are saying today. They should all be out on media saying this.

Lee Atwater had a pungent and famous quote about how once conservatives could no longer use the n-word they used things like “states’ rights” to invoke the same spirit. I don’t think it’s an exaggeration any more — if it ever was — to say they use DEI as the n-word.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country
