Turns out you can shape the agenda with dramatic action and maybe even shift public opinion. Crazy.

We need to organize a protest right fucking now. This is blatantly illegal. Trump has zero authority to do this. Over my dead fucking body.

Given that the MTA's already sold bonds off congestion pricing, this feels like a real "Trump to NYC: Drop Dead" moment

New York should keep congestion pricing up & running while @govkathyhochul.bsky.social & AG Tish James sue the feds over this action

The ordinary questions you might ask: Is Elon Musk a government employee? Are his lieutenants? Does he personally hold a security clearance and do his “lieutenants”? Have they all undergone a background check? Are they subject to foreign influence? Have they ever done a sieg heil on stage?

➡️ January 20: FAA director fired ➡️ January 21: Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen ➡️ January 22: Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded ➡️ January 28: Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees ➡️ January 29: First American mid-air collision in 16 years Making America Great Again!

Don't tell me that the billionaires running the country don't have my interests at heart. You don't know my interests. What if my interests are to eat shit and die

a very funny eye opening experience many people have had about how the cops actually operate is this "hey i have a tracking beacon on this stolen item that shows exactly where it is can you arrest the guy who stole it?" and the cops go like "lol no that sounds like a lot of work"

The very top story at @nytimes.com right now. Muscular vision of presidential power! Glad we’ve learned nothing and are so royally fucked for the next 4 years.

JB Pritzker flat out says the birthright "order" is unconstitutional and "we will not obey an unconstitutional order," attacks Trump for having the oligarchs in the front row. See, @schumer.senate.gov? It's not that hard!

Project 2025 is here. Trump is implementing all of it. His denials were typical Trump lies, repeated by his allies in the media who wanted him to win.

not Lynch's movie, I know, but god, what a sendoff

The SCOTUS piece is the one that irks me most because court reform was a genuine live issue at the start of Biden’s term. They forced it into a study group to ice everyone, and then did absolutely nothing on its recommendation. But now we get the bully pulpit for term limits and ethics reform.
