Letitia James of New York, joined by 18 other Democratic state attorneys general, said in a lawsuit that when President Trump gave Elon Musk the run of government computer systems, he breached protections enshrined in the Constitution and “failed to faithfully execute the laws enacted by Congress.”

This scene is beautifully recreated in the Ava DuVernay film ORIGIN.

I keep thinking about how at the end of Doctor Strangelove, the worlds richest most powerful people nonchalantly settle underground to wait out the total destruction of mankind they just caused.

Irv on Severance said REVOLUTION

This is what you tell ICE if they show up

I have to say that the fact that the people destroying the country are such fucking morons kind of stings.

After 11 years, my time at HuffPost is coming to an end tomorrow. Last week, I learned HuffPost would be ending its dedicated coverage of energy and climate change. So, I took a buyout.

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...

Speaking of “flowers”… #NewAlbumAlert

Dear @Doge If there is nothing to hide. Hide nothing

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

My statement on the FBI Purge that puts at risk the safety, well-being and national security of the American people.

I know we have empathy and take naps and have dreams and stuff but there’s more of us and we are smarter and better at things like collaborating and spelling

Senate needs to respond to mass firings of Jan 6 attack prosecutors by rejecting Trump nominees. Have a spine and stand up to this autocratic effort to rewrite history and embolden political violence. Block Bondi and Patel.

Hello Bluesky 👋🏽 Justin here the creator of Dear White People. Who’s organizing?

Divest

Hegspeth is confirmed. Now What? He has no idea how to manage the Pentagon. So he is going to be dependent on his direct reports. Most of which require confirmation. The Dems have to use whatever political skills they have to get qualified, rational people in these positions ? Suggestions ?

The reality is that these positions are more important than Sec of Defense because they will do all the work and define all strategies. He won't freelance decisions. @schumer.senate.gov @sanders.senate.gov @fetterman.senate.gov What do you have planned ?

What experienced Community Leaders are organizing - where do we tap in
