I'm about to drop a piece at The Atlantic on this Pentagon purge. As I warned, Trump is capturing Justice, Intelligence, the military. This is praetorianism, pure and simple.

A federal judge has blocked the Trump admin from terminating federal grants and contracts related to DEI. The ruling bars Trump from requiring federal contractors and grant recipients to certify that they don't engage in "equity-related" programs, a term the judge found too vague to be enforced.

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

When these inaccuracies were first found, they could be called "mistakes." When DOGE took efforts to cover them up, they can no longer be considered "mistakes."

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

DOGE is supposed to cut govt spending, but its own funding has soared to $40M, most of it shifted from other agencies DOGE behaves like it has agency-level authority But, surrounded in secrecy, DOGE has refused to make information about its funding or staff public Can't have it both ways!

This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.

DOGE is arguing in court that Trump is calling all the shots and Musk isn't the DOGE administrator. Trump here admits he's not calling the shots. So if he's not, and Musk isn't, then who is the DOGE administrator? @normeisen.bsky.social @gtconway.bsky.social

Musk claims he discovered that millions of dead people have been paid trillions of dollars in social security money, but Mike Johnson had the House take the week off instead of investigating this extremely serious allegation. If this is true, why are House Rs taking a week off?

Murphy: "The game is clear. We can see it. They're not even hiding it. There is not a rule of law anymore. There is one set of law for people who are loyal to Donald Trump, and there is one set of law for people who care criticize him. That is not democracy."

Trumpists will continue to be furious at any dissent no matter how much power they steal. That’s because the administration is premised on pathological insecurity. They’re shitty people, they know it, and they will never stop resenting being seen as shitty people.

Van Hollen: "Can you imagine FDR in the middle of WW2 saying to Churchill, 'you know, we're not going to continue to help you until you turn over half of your coal and mineral reserves.' That's not how you behave when you want to support a friend who's under attack by an authoritarian like Putin."

I really don't understand why pundits don't understand this. MANY of you have better platforms than any Democrat this side of AOC. If you spend all your time whining (some more) about Democrats, then you are being just as feckless, you are giving the GOP just as much of a pass, as the Dems are.

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen. 1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.

Hate to break it to you, Senator, but Trump is not Neville Chamberlain. As misguided and naive as Chamberlain was, he was at least acting in good faith and in what he believed was the cause of peace. Trump is Joachim von Ribbentrop—or worse.
