Dear @cnn.com, The judge did not “vacate” the trial. He adjourned it. Then he appointed an amicus curiae to argue against dismissing the charges. Who writes your headlines?

Unfortunately, deleting your Twitter acct (will NOT call it X) often leads to trolls cannibalizing your handle and posting as you. Lock down your twitter acct, check it as little as possible. “Elon is on the Xitter” has a nice ring to it. 💩

JUST IN: New suit filed in federal court in Northern Calif. by @LambdaLegal challenges Trump "gender identity" & DEI executive orders. Doc: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Guys it's been one hell of a day here at the good ole IRS. Need some time to process and to reach out to friends and family affected by the terminations this week. We don't know how many we lost or when this will end. Take care of yourselves, and be kind to the people hurting. We are all Americans.

I got raked across the coals for this take in 2022.

“If FBI agents who are just doing their jobs aren’t free of the risk of political prosecution, then who is? In a country run by a president who has accumulated all power into his own hands, you never know who might run afoul of the leader’s good graces.” joycevance.substack.com/p/kash-patel...

NEW: One of Trump’s most damaging strikes against U.S. climate policy is buried in an executive order that would obliterate a critically important calculation the government uses to gauge the real-world costs that climate change imposes on the economy. By @abrahm.bsky.social

Elon and other unvetted Trump enablers shouldn't have access to the entire nation's personal and financial data. Can my Republican colleagues acknowledge that? We're forcing a vote to block that access. Let's see where they land.

If only…

Chris Murphy: "My prediction is that if you vote for Kash Patel, more than any other confirmation vote you make, you will come to regret this one to your grave."

White Supremacist and Nazi’s come in a variety of fields. You may see these on cops, people in the medical fields, your mechanic people in the grocery store, gas stations attendants, Home Depot etc etc. Pay attention.

The Trump administration has a very specific vision for our future.

NEW: @democracyforward.org requests expedited discovery in their lawsuit to block DOGE from accessing Department of Labor data. If granted, this would be the first case that collects evidence on how the faux-agency operates within the federal government.

Another troll. You know what to do… @mswmediapods.bsky.social @charlesgaba.com @dgcomedy.bsky.social @browneyedsusan.bsky.social @jojofromjerz.bsky.social

Why won’t Elon show us the savings from DOGE? What’s he hiding?

I’m all for efficiency. But this is not efficiency — it’s total malpractice. “Many probationary employees targeted in latest Trump cuts across agencies had excellent ratings”

Almost the entirety of American right interprets the US constitution, sovereignty and presidential authority thru the prism of early 20th century continental philosophy tied up with the origins of fascism. All of it totally alien to how constitution writers understood these concepts and ...

Trump is now blaming Ukraine for being invaded by Russia. This is what you get when a rapist occupies the White House.

After ceding power of the purse, GOP lawmakers beg Trump team for funds. 
Republican senators are asking Cabinet secretaries and other Trump officials to let money flow back into their states. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

silver lining: figuring out if the places/people you get your news from also understand that a disaster is coming is a easy and effective way to determine the quality of your news sources

…We need to shut it down. We need to go to Washington. We need to stand in the streets. Every street. Bring the city to a stop. Until they leave. No violence. No signs. No shouting. Just stand there. They want you afraid. Make them fear you.

A federal judge in Washington, D.C. temporarily blocked President Donald Trump’s administration from illegally firing Cathy Harris, chair of the U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

From me: After Trump broke Tarrio out of prison, Tarrio said: “Success is going to be retribution. We have to ensure the next four years set us up for the next 100 years." Tarrio and Trump are on the same page. The retribution agenda is about entrenchment. www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/trumps-par...

This presidency is called “2.0” because Putin now has TWO useful idiots in the White House.

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

As I've been warning for over a decade, including on my podcast Gaslit Nation, Russia is at war with the democratic world. The US and EU thought they could carry on, business as usual. Russia's fullscale invasion February 2022 forced them to wake up, but it wasn't enough to overcome the crisis.

Devastating 😢 Please read. www.muellershewrote.com/p/letter-fro...

Here's my action of the day for anyone in Texas. These are the agencies that the Commerce Committee, headed by your very own Teddy Cancun, oversees. He's the guy w/oversight authority over Sean Duffy's cuts to FAA (and failures to respond to plane crashes). Think of creative ways to lobby him!
