This is SO STUPID: "On Friday morning, lawyers at the Treasury Department were informed that access to the Public Access to Court Electronic Records, or PACER, which they use to monitor litigation, had been paused." (Because the credit card they used to pay for it now has a $1 limit.)

Republicans don’t give a shit about deficits. It’s a cudgel they use when Democrats are in power. That’s it. Period. These “principles,” including small government, liberty, social conservatism, they’re all cudgels. The quicker people understand that the better.

Trump is surrendering America. Trump is the opposite of strong. He is a tiny, weak, small, scared, trembling, sissy, husk of a man. There is nothing manly about his fat, sweaty, smelly, gross, makeup'ed self An absolute joke

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

“We’ve been sent amazingly inept & spammy emails by OPM, to the point where they had to order our Department leadership to send us further emails to vouch that their spammy emails were legit.” The emails were so bad that some of us reported phishing. They were straight out of cybersecurity training

Experts: We have to tell the story of how closely the sequence of events we're seeing fits the modern authoritarian playbook People in public life: The president has literally declared he's above the law. It's time to start acting like this is a crisis before it's too late.
