Governor Mills doesn’t suffer fools lightly, and it appears she has even less tolerance for bullies. (And as a former attorney general, she knows what she’s talking about.)

“It’s no longer just Putin’s Russia that threatens the foundations of Western liberal democracy but Trump’s Washington.”

A batch of new polls show Trump’s approval rate falling. My best friend @jvl.bsky.social and I discuss whether or not the honeymoon is over.

Mark my words—He is going to try to shut down mail-in voting. When he does, we will sue and we will win. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

KLUWE: “MAGA is profoundly corrupt, unmistakably anti-democracy, and, most importantly, MAGA is explicitly a Nazi movement. You may have replaced a swastika with a red hat, but that is what it is." @usatoday.com www.usatoday.com/story/sports...

The United States is in the midst of a regime change, in which Kash Patel, if confirmed, would be useful. snyder.substack.com/p/kash-patel...

The cabinet must invoke the 25th amendment and remove Elon Musk from office

What the actual fuck?! America, it’s time to rise. When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty!

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

We should hang our heads in shame.

NEWS: The Justice Department is now claiming that Elon Musk is not a member of DOGE, Governor Kathy Hochul could fire Eric Adams as soon as today, and Rubio holds peace talks with Russia in Saudi Arabia. Consider subscribing for more! open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

Go ahead. Let the people see you for what you are.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Two coders have already infiltrated the DOGE website and left their own messages on it at the time of 404’s reporting on Thursday evening: “THis is a joke of a .gov site,” said one, and “THESE ‘EXPERTS’ LEFT THEIR DATABASE OPEN -roro” said another.

Netanyahu ‘committed’ to Trump’s plan to take over Gaza

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

I’m seeing an awful lot of posts from people on Bluesky responding to despairing scientists with the words “please keep going, the world needs you”. Scientists cannot keep going if we can’t keep a roof over our heads and our mouths fed.

ZELENSKYY: The risk that Russia will occupy Europe is 100 percent WELKER: If the US pulls out of NATO, Russia will occupy Europe? ZELENSKYY: Yes

“It’s the American people vs the Billionaires.” w/ @briantylercohen.bsky.social

Those who uphold the rule of law save their country.

This is horseshit. If you fear protests will lead to martial law then you already live under martial law — and you’re the one who declared it. Plus, it *won’t* lead to a declaration of martial law and the fear misconstrues the nature of the threats we face.

NAACP lists companies that dump DEI in its tactical spending guide for Black Americans

I’m sure it’s just my TDS, but I think Trump is proving to be exactly as bad as we said he was going to be and people who acted like we were hysterical should be embarrassed they didn’t do more to try and stop it.

Trump declared himself above the law today. Literally announced it. Pinned it to his feed for emphasis. The White House reposted it. All to underscore it’s not some passing thought, which would be bad enough. It’s not the top story on any news site that I can find. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

$6.2 billion and PBS and NPR would never need federal funding again. Put me out of my misery.
