I would like to point out that the executive branch claiming the power to mete out life/death sentences seems like a separation of powers issue as well

Yesterday the Trump administration took aim at @thekrebscycle.bsky.social and @sentinelone.com over Trump's longstanding beef with Krebs saying the 2020 election was legitimate. So @raphae.li asked more than 30 major cybersecurity firms and trade groups what they had to say. Here's how it went:

Trade from China is now effectively banned. That’s a big problem for LA - about 2/3rds of the ships that arrive in our port come from China, and 1 of every 15 jobs in the county is supported by the ports. Seems bad! Perhaps someone should look into this.

He deliberately says 'Big Business'. This is by design The ones who will be destroyed are the small businesses; who will fall, as the big box retailers take over everything Boycott everything that you can that is publicly traded He wants to crash the system We need to do it first #TheAlliedForces

Sen. Peter Squelch (Black Faced Shealthbill party) addressing congress today. He is attempting to champion a resolution to sell penguin eggs in return for tariff renegotiation. So far, he’s received cold shoulders and some Senators who’ve even flipped the bird, in a typically polite Ice House.

I am not used to seeing genuinely new ideas from the DNC.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

Holy fuck on a fuck stick

From a pretty illuminating New York magazine profile of Donald Trump Jr., an angle on the MAGA Greenland obsession I hadn't been aware of.

Man of Constant Sorrow - incredible!

Faux news knows

Let this be the day Democrats stopped cowering in fear. We can beat these clowns. We can control the narrative. We can win elections and get back to helping people. Let's do the fucking work and win the midterms.

NEW: DOGE is trying to gift itself a building worth $500 million, court filings show. It's the culmination of a dramatic battle between DOGE and the United States Institute of Peace, a Congressionally funded think tank. www.wired.com/story/doge-t...

"We cannot predict the contours of America’s political system or societal order 5 or 10 years from now. In a stable democracy, the range of plausible outcomes should be narrow. But for America, it now includes complete democratic breakdown and full-blown authoritarian rule" @thomaszimmer.bsky.social

I’m working on a longer thread on this, but to be very clear, we do not issue social security numbers (SSNs) to undocumented immigrants or foreign workers. If they have an SSN, they are documented. They may be a refugee or asylum seeker or have Temporary Protected Status. But they are documented.

Organizing call for federal workers TONIGHT! Please share! Bit.ly/fedRSVP #MomSky

I know it seems a little much for Ms. Frey to say that the people at Skadden are “some of the best minds in the legal profession” but I assure you that this is firmly supported by the opinions of the people at Skadden.

This one isn’t getting enough attention today. It effectively is as big of an all out attack on organized labor unions as the mass firing of union federal employees is. www.cnn.com/2025/03/28/p...

With the #Signalgate scandal, we see our government openly compromising our national security, the better to violate our rights. I explain here: snyder.substack.com/p/signalgate...

“‘We do have authority over the federal courts, as u know. We can, we can eliminate an entire district court. We have power of funding over the courts, & all these other things,’ [Mike] Johnson said,” adding that “‘desperate times call for desperate measures, and Congress is going to act.’” 3/25/25

100 special police forces sent to Nuuk, Greenland from Denmark to beef up security amid US invasion threat.

This goes beyond inhumane and devastating treatment of migrants being held in this detention center, something must to be done. www.tiktok.com/@chieflexus/...
