I think a lot of what they're doing - deliberate provocative illegality followed by brazen noncompliance with courts - amounts to a program of acclimatising people to a post-legal government; training the public to accept their tacit declaration that they no longer consider themselves bound by law.

Civilization began when we stopped being cavemen hitting each other over the head, and agreed on a social contract to live in families and communities. In order to do that, you have to understand that hurting your neighbors is wrong. substack.com/@marypezzulo...

I think Dems should consider doing hearings of their own outside of Congress. Rent hotel ballrooms, bring our own witnesses, make our big arguments, get stuff on the record. Early topics - illegal/unconstitutional disassembly of US govt, Trump selling out to Putin, his reckless econ policies.

On @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social just now, former US ambassador to Denmark Carla Sands said Americans "don't want to pay for another of Zelensky's yachts". The claim that Zelensky is using US aid to buy yachts is an old piece of disinformation directly originating from Russia. It's not true.

It’s not just Space X. Musk was able to save Tesla because of a loan from the Dept of Energy. Here he is in 2013 filled with gratitude for the federal agency & the taxpayers who saved his business. From reporting by @puck.news. airmail.news/issues/2025-...

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

This is what our Transportation Secretary was doing yesterday as planes are crashing on a near-daily basis. I cannot remember a more dangerous time to fly and yet this reality TV actor-turned-Cabinet Secretary is busy watching cars drive laps at the Daytona 500.
