open.substack.com/pub/calirock... With Musk announcing his “departure” from “DOGE” next month & as we get further into what is happening to our country - reposting so we can be prepared for whatever they throw at us next. Time for some deep thinking and planning.

If you’re upset about the chaos and corruption Trump is inflicting on your country—whether your focus is the nihilistic dismantling of government, the economy, our foreign relations, or his threats to the rule of law—please join the nationwide marches on April 5. Learn more here 👉 handsoff2025.com

My Spanish isn’t great, but I understand this loud and clear.

Hello Bluesky! This is my first post, and I'm starting with a story I published today, about FEMA halting almost all its grant funding. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/27/us/politics/musk-fema-immigrations-doge-freeze-aid.html?unlocked_article_code=1.7E4.IepP.vPJ_HHn4Amqb&smid=bs-share

"A terrified young student, snatched off the street by a masked police force taken thousands of miles across the country without anyone knowing. It is as flatly authoritarian as anything we have ever seen in this country," says @chrislhayes.bsky.social on Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk's detention.

When you really care about the scourge of opioid addiction… www.nytimes.com/2025/03/26/h...

So it turns out Pete Hegseth lied. And Michael Waltz lied. And Tulsi Gabbard lied. And also lied to Congress while under oath. And John Ratliffe lied. And also lied to Congress while under oath. And as ever Jeffrey Goldberg and the Atlantic were telling the truth. This is why journalism matters.

Confirming, as was obvious from context already, that this wasn’t a one-off. They are routinely using Signal to evade statutory record retention requirements.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

There's no allegation that she did anything other than participate in a lawful protest. This is madness. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/24/n...

18 U.S.C. § 793(f) makes it a federal crime to for people entrusted with information related to the national defense to, with gross negligence, disclose it to others in violation of that trust.

Here's Marco Rubio scolding Hillary about her email server, 10 years before texting Atlantic's EIC war plans on a disappearing Signal list. www.youtube.com/watch?featur...

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth disclosed war plans in a group chat that included the editor in chief of The Atlantic two hours before U.S. troops launched attacks against the Houthi militia in Yemen, the White House said. It was an extraordinary breach of U.S. national security intelligence.

If Biden had ever tried to prevent lawyers and firms representing Jan. 6 clients from entering federal buildings, or pulled the security clearances of lawyers representing Trump, there would have been calls for impeachment THE NEXT DAY. That’s all

Damn, 1000 people for an empty chair with no show andy barr www.kentucky.com/news/politic...

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey. Defiantly, ME

Only four days left to place an order! worldwithoutcaesars.com

ICE's indiscriminate arrests put everyone's civil liberties at risk.

Can't let Yosemite and Joshua Tree stand alone in their distress signals! Solidarity from the right coast.

Here’s Elon cutting pediatric brain cancer research 👇🏻

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

I feel like we need to form a League of Relatively Normal People, and our agenda should be things like: --Canada's cool, leave them be --Lot of smart people at universities, that's a plus --We're scared of getting cancer, so let's research it --Fewer floods and wildfires would be nice

Today we're publishing a monster feature that dives deep into the initial six weeks over Elon Musk's government takeover. Our entire newsroom came together to help make this story happen. Read this culmination of our blood, sweat, and tears:

UMASS IS RESCINDING ALL GRAD POSITIONS FOR THIS YEAR

So good. Just run this on loop @democrats.org.

He was always a used car salesman at heart.

Grocery prices are soaring. Housing costs are skyrocketing. Retirement savings are plummeting. But Donald Trump thought today would be a good day to play car salesman.

Trump is bulldozing the Education Department, which helps homeless and disabled kids gain access to school, while he does a car commercial at the White House for the richest man in the world. Robber barons are waging class warfare on the rest of us.

Conservatives warning about George Soros but make the footage Elon Musk

Drunk on power and ketamine. This is Musk and the foreign minister of Poland. This is what I mean about Musk as the "over-mighty subject". His power is too great for anyone else to be fully free.

The Trump-Musk Regime is reportedly planning to cut as much as 50% of the IRS workforce. Make no mistake: this will starve the government of revenue by making it easier for the rich to evade taxes — which the top 1% already do to the tune of $163 billion a year. Hello?

If Republicans in Congress want to help make our country safe, I have some ideas for them.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

BASH: You voted to approve Marco Rubio's nomination to be secretary of state. Did you make the right choice? CHRIS MURPHY: Nope. It was a mistake. It was a mistake. I think a lot of us thought Marco Rubio was going to stand up to Trump on an issue like this.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

👏👏👊👊💪💪

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.
