Trump and Musk's dismantling of government "has a very familiar smell to it. It’s the stench of the kind of vulture capitalism that has demolished newsrooms across the country in a quest for greater revenue for shareholders." New from @justinglawe.bsky.social:

Playing on his phone while Lindsey Graham desperately wants his attention. Putting up red velvet ropes so people who paid $200,000 to have access to him can't get near. Donald really has quite a knack for showing people he doesn't give a shit about them.

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

Zelenskyy on if Ukraine can hold off Russia without continued US support: "It will be difficult for us. That's why I'm here."

Zelensky taking a hard line right now is EXACTLY what the world needs. Call out their lies, hold them accountable, speak in simple terms, and hold strong.

Zelenskyy: "It's not just that the war began somewhere between our countries. The war began when Russia brought this war to our country. They're not right. They didn't respect our territorial integrity. They brought the war to our families. Ukrainians want to hear a position of the US on our side"

Zelenskyy: "When they, for example say that Ukraine is almost destroyed, that our soldiers run away, that they are not heroes, that the president is a dictator, what is the reaction? It's not about me. The reaction is, where is the friendship between Ukraine and the US?"

I've said it before and will say it again -- the Trump administration is not acting like one that fears democratic accountability next year or in 2028. Draw your own conclusions.

This below has been our fear since Jan. 20 (also stated in Gabe's op-ed last week www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...).

From Opinion “Politicians are allowed to criticize the press,” writes the editorial board. “But there is a difference between using language and using muscle.” The Trump administration “is mustering the arms of government to suppress speech it doesn’t like and compel words and ideas it prefers.”

"There is no doubt that Trump is power-tripping like never before. And why shouldn’t he? It’s not just Democrats walking off the field. Republicans are offering him a level of adulation that would make Kim Jong Un blush." — @sbg1.bsky.social
