Trump wants DOGE to look at voter rolls www.businessinsider.com/trump-doge-v...

"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.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: Based on the group chat texts, it's not clear that the Commander-in-Chief made the final decision. "The core thing that was supposed to happen in these decision-making procedures clearly didn't happen," says Hayes.

Donald Trump cannot cancel the 2026 elections. But he can make it very difficult for them to be free and fair. His executive order is aimed at doing just that. Here is my promise: We are going to sue to stop him and we will win.

Of course he did

"A generation of young women who feel politics has failed them and that humanity is doomed are losing themselves in the permanent escape of pop culture and celebrity gossip....These younger women are connecting with Candace Owens."

One day someone you know stops showing up to work, school, church, etc… nobody knows where they went, maybe they moved? Who knows, you forget about it, move on. Years later you find out there are mass graves created by the regime found on the outskirts of town, and that’s where they were all along.

The GOP leaders of today do not care about helping families in crisis. Gun violence is a public health crisis destroying our communities. We applaud @justinjpearson1.bsky.social for representing American values and our heart breaks for his loss. 👏👏👏

I was proud to sign. I am grateful for the conservatives who signed. I am angry at and have contempt for the many lawyers who know what happening is wrong and are too cowardly to sign. History will remember them all. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

"The sleight of hand here is obvious. Over the years, Trump’s open lawlessness has drawn stern condemnations from a host of staid, nonpartisan groups. Trump allies then turn around and argue that proves the groups are partisan hacks."

I don’t care what Donald Trump says about me. I wear his scorn as a badge of honor. But one lawyer — or even a thousand lawyers — won’t solve this problem alone. It will take the civic courage of thousands of leaders and millions of voters. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

April 5 Remove corrupt politicians from office. Reverse the damage. Reclaim US democracy. #3E #EndOligarchy #EndImpunity #EndAutogenocide #USProtests

Call to Action: On April 5th, take to the streets to say Hands Off. Spread the word, fire up your networks, and make sure everyone knows: “We don’t have kings in the US, and we won’t let a handful of billionaires run our country into the ground.” #3E #USprotests #HandsOff

The first indication that something was afoot came on Friday, when Blake Marnell, an online pro-Trump anchor who goes by “Brick Suit” (he wears a suit that looks like border-wall bricks), posted comparisons of the pro-soda tweets authored by MAGA influencers.

The Real Costs of Trump’s Purge of Veterans From the Government Trump keeps shredding the workforce, creating a brain drain of veterans from the federal and foreign service. Their experience can’t be replaced www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

“Big Balls” is on the case.

Today’s wh briefing with Karoline Leavitt went like…

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

That's all they care about

OPM seeks broader authority to fire federal employees, draft regulations show The draft OPM proposal, if finalized, would also limit federal employees’ ability to appeal their terminations to the Merit Systems Protection Board. federalnewsnetwork.com/workforce/20...

@nedprice.bsky.social: 'When you think about this collection of people, the VP, CIA Director, Sec of State, there is no higher set of intel targets than the individuals who were in this Signal chat room. So you can imagine if an intel service stumbled upon this, they would consider it a gold mine.'

Hearing that there’s lots of chaos on NIH campus today- doge people roaming around checking offices and demanding to see badges, and rumors of new high level firings. Bhattacharya’s first day at NIH! Hold on everyone, we will get through this.

The American people demand accountability. Secretary Hegseth must resign or be fired.

The threat to the rule of law posed by this attack is far bigger than any one legal issue. It is a brazen assault on the right of lawyers to represent their clients to the best of their ability within the bounds of the law and the ethics of the profession. www.commondreams.org/opinion/big-...

Thoughts on Signal gate, as someone who spent 19 yrs at CIA. I'm thinking of all the times I accidentally brought my phone into the office and had to not only immediately walk it across the massive parking lot to my car, but report myself to security. Do that too many times=real repercussions

Democratic House Rep. Chrissy Houlahan: "Show us the money. Show us the receipts. Don't edit it. Don't redact it. Don't disappear it. Release it, and release it right now. But we know they won't do that either. They're lying about what happened...they're gaslighting us" Boom! 🔥

David Geier, who was reportedly recently hired as a "data analyst," was charged in 2011 with practicing medicine without a license and has long touted the false claim that vaccines cause autism.

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics. Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

The Massachusetts governor, the city, and the university needs to drop everything to locate and free this girl and make sure this doesn't happen again. This is DEFCON-1. If they do this to someone who wrote an op-ed in a college newspaper, they will do this to anyone they don't like.

Q: "Had these messages been published, would the plans have moved forward? Would the launch still have taken off?" Leavitt: "…We are not going to be lectured about national security and American troops by Democrats and the mainstream media."

Whatever happened to the "5 things " DoGe emails ? Talked to someone really smart who just left gov, who said all the emails bounced back as inbox full. Already forgotten Typical Ready Fire Aim

I have faith in Hegseth. A lot of the abusive blackout drunks I know have turned it around with the gentle nudge of an insanely stressful job w/ no oversight or accountability.
