Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.

We must follow the lead of opposition movements in other kleptocracies: Put corruption at the center of our arguments. American government & foreign & domestic policy are being transformed to benefit not Americans but Trump & Co. Only voters can stop this change. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

why is no one in mainstream media covering Tim Walz and his town hall meetings? they are so relevant and necessary to hear. he is my choice for president in 28.

and so it goes, til there is nothing left of america as we know it. knew it.

This is unconstitutional. A violation of the First Amendment. A violation of federalism and the separation of powers. It’s unconstitutionally vague. It’s unlawful. It’s unlawful. It’s unlawful.

Silver lining: Europe became a Union yesterday. 🇪🇺

The cowardice of the GOP has been astounding 👇 #TraitorTrump

Next thing you know, Trump will expect Jews to stop saying negative things about Hitler.

On Trump the Almighty and his (so far) quiescent capital… My new column: www.newyorker.com/news/letter-...

“Warning to Big Law: those who fail to stand up while they can for the rule of law may rue its erosion and regret their silence.” Trump’s petty retribution violates the 1st and 6th amendments, but it still takes guts to ignore his threats and act honorably. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Individual criticism of lawyers taking unfavorable clients was one of the big complaints about “wokeness” but of course now that the state is doing it’s fine bsky.app/profile/kyle...

Only 7% of Americans want cuts to medicaid, the Republican budget slashes $880 BILLION from it. Think about how insane that is.

If you’re ever in public while high on ketamine, this DEA pamphlet suggests you might want want to wear sunglasses, even indoors. www.dea.gov/sites/defaul...

I didnt think it possible to respect @marcelias.bsky.social more than I already did. This is truth to utterly corrupt and corrosive power.

And now this: “Jim Jones, the director of the Food and Drug Administration’s food division, resigned on Monday, citing what he called “indiscriminate” layoffs that would make it “fruitless for him to continue.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

"why can't you feel the way I am feeling right now" is the stuff of tantrums in the sugary snacks aisle

Elon Musk's DOGE website promised "receipts" for the savings DOGE has secured "no later than Valentine's Day." The Saturday after Valentine's Day, there was a new message: "Receipts coming over the weekend!" The weekend is over. Still no receipts. muskwatch.com/subscribe

Again, Trump fired SBA Inspector General Mike Ware after he found $200 billion in fraud in Trump's COVID programs and returned $40B to the US Treasury. Instead, Trump brought in a bunch of fascist boys who know nothing about accounting. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

“For those looking to join dots, there is fodder from Musk’s early life with a neo-Nazi grandfather who moved from Canada to South Africa because he liked the idea of apartheid through his high school education in a system infused with white supremacy ideology.” www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

The sad fact is this lawless pronouncement by Trump is damn-near a quote from the democracy-busting presidential immunity ruling from a compromised Sup Ct. This is PRECISELY why Justice Sotomayor (joined by Justices Kagan & Ketanji Brown Jackson) said, “With fear for our democracy, I dissent.”

Within the administration, one strain wants a sleek state that narrowly seeks to maximize investment returns; one, a shackled state unable to promote social justice; and one, a shattered state that cedes authority to competing projects of decentralized private rule. www.nybooks.com/online/2025/...

And just like that, America lost her allies.

Congratulations on making it into the 'Most hated in Europe' list as well. 🇺🇸🇺🇦🙂

Yes. Important for all NIH people and scientists: The executive orders are not law. The President *cannot* make laws. And in fact, executive orders may violate the law. As a federal employee, you are obligated not to follow illegal orders. That includes illegal EOs.

The author of this piece was an associate WH counsel under Reagan. He has a very polite way of explaining that what Trump is doing with DOGE is a coup. wapo.st/4hSE7Ox

The media is utterly failing to cover what is actually happening with Musk: that he is using the power Trump has given him, along with his X platform and its relationships with right-wing media, to spread massive lies and disinformation, while they laugh off 1/2 www.emptywheel.net/2025/02/12/t...

Yes, the American Right happily consumes a steady diet of lies to fit the narratives their online grifters create for them.

BREAKING The Trump administration is maintaining a funding freeze at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in defiance of two federal court orders. The ongoing freeze was confirmed by an NIH official and internal correspondence reviewed by Popular Information.

True.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau literally exists to protect consumers from predatory financial institutions. It's returned over $21 billion to 205 million consumers. The sole result of this move is that Americans will have no recourse when they get screwed over by a bank. Good work Elon 👍

BREAKING: In case brought by Democracy Forward and @publiccitizen.bsky.social federal court will block Trump Admin's attempt to place 2200 #USAID employees on leave. This is a big win for our clients AFSA & AFGE and the rule of law. More details to follow.

🚨BREAKING: In a trio of rulings, North Carolina state court REJECTS Republican effort to overturn the results of the 2024 state Supreme Court election by throwing out 60,000 lawful ballots. A big victory for voting rights and democracy! www.democracydocket.com/cases/north-...

I linked DOGE staffer Marko Elez to a deleted X account that advocated repealing the Civil Rights Act, backed a “eugenic immigration policy,” and wrote, “You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity." He just resigned. www.wsj.com/tech/doge-st...

There is a simple solution to the CBS/Trump lawsuit. The Harris campaign should sue Fox and insist Fox release the unedited versions of all their many edited interviews with Trump.
