And it will cost many millions and likely years to fix all of the software systems the DOGE monkeys have F’d up. And a lot more money to put back together all of each agency’s work once (if?) these assholes are ever gone. We’re in a very deep hole….

Send Kristi Noem and her hair extensions down to get him.

ABSOLUTELY. MSNBC should wave a big “Buh Bye” to Neal Katyal unless he leaves his current firm…

And I think that’s where we disagree.We can make better, more informed,decisions if we know for a fact that they WON’T follow court decisions. Congress has relinquished its power;if the judiciary also has no effect then we’ll know for certain that the next likely step is, unfortunately, violence.

True - but it’s MORE than time, now. Dragging our feet won’t stop anything, and I’d rather see exactly where we are. We can’t plan effectively if we don’t know who is and isn’t on our side.

There’s a lot of rhetoric (agreed, much of it understandably salty from the court) but no consequences. None. Not even a contempt action.

WTF? No court has even held them in contempt for ANYTHING to date, when it’s clear that contempt is all they have for any court. Why are the courts being so docile?

Oh dear. A Trump troll among us. Go on back to Twitter dear; we only want decent, smart, well-informed folks on BlueSky. As we say in the South, bless your heart ♥️

Yup - this was stunning, and really gave me hope. The only effective outrage is REAL outrage, which is clearly what we see here. When they just read from prepared speeches it’s meaningless. Let’s hope both Booker and Horsford have motivated others to do the same.

Yup. Global investors are going to sell off any US investments and head elsewhere.

Oh yeah. And most of them probably just got a lot richer.

Do we even know if these guys pulling folks off the street really are ICE agents?Are some from Erik Prince’s Blackwater/Triple Canopy guns for hire?He’s made clear to both Trump and Musk that his folks are available.These actions are so clearly illegal and they back down so quickly when confronted -

I am sick to death of people interpreting this as “economic stupidity” rather than what it is - yet another power grab, this time pointed at American business and industry. Wise up, people….
comment in response to

Yup. But I struggle to come up with some way to stop them. At some point even the slowest of their viewers know they’re being lied to. So what’s the solution?

But yay you!! I’d love to slap him into next week so I’m glad you confronted him. Most White House “advisors” don’t need security, so that alone shows what a vile human being he is.

WTF is wrong with the media companies. All these institutions kissing the orange ass make me sick.

I’m with you. We need to see some proof here.

That man is such a prick. Just disgusting. The cruelty of these people is so off the charts I can’t wait to see all of them behind bars. Preferably in El Salvador, since that would be karmic justice.

Um. Wrong. Read the court transcript so YOU can get the facts straight. It’s ok - take your time; I know there are multi-syllable words involved.
comment in response to

EXACTLY. Thank you - so many people are laughing at the “stupidity” of this move since they don’t see the opportunity to use tariffs to control private industry.

It reminds me of that classic line in All the President’s Men, where Deep Throat says “Truth is, these guys aren’t very bright. And things got out of hand…”

Fucking asshole. The arrogance and the cruelty of these people is surpassed only by their incompetence. He ought to be kicked into next week.

I truly wonder if these folks really are ICE agents, or if they’re from Erik Prince’s Blackwater/Triple Canopy paid vigilante troop. Why are they not uniformed when making street arrests? Why hide under hoodies and masks when they see they’re being filmed? What they’re doing is illegal.

Yup - already set to go to DC. Fingers crossed we get HUGE turnout….

Can she please just get locked back in that trailer she was born in? Cause her trying to pretend she has a brain is truly painful to watch…..

THANK YOU. The worst part of this mess is watching formerly respected firms/universities/media just roll over for Trump. They clearly don’t see they’re the Vichy French in this…..

Hmm, I dunno. Elon’s giving Trump real competition in that area…..
comment in response to

Yup. Absolutely. And if you can’t make it to DC, go to your state capital. And PLEASE spread the word as much as you can….

George - hope you’re joining us in DC. We need some national figures to lead this March.
comment in response to

Hit the streets with lots of people. Big DC march planned for Sat April 5; multiple groups joined for this. If you can’t make DC there are gatherings in every state Capitol. We need the Congressional GOP more afraid of us than of Trump.

Makes sense. Why would you go on to defend your actions if there’s no plan for elections ever again? Who cares what the electorate think when there’s no vote?

Hell yeah - I’d pay good money for that ticket too.

I’m hoping that the serious journalists will boycott the dinner in protest. This is getting ridiculous-I’m more than happy to go to protests, file complaints for the stealing of my data, and needle Musk on Twitter. I would expect journalists to have at LEAST that much courage. I’m disgusted at this.

And unfortunately a lot of the people who don’t understand the fascist reality are in the Democratic leadership….

He did something - signed something- on Inauguration Day that started a 90-day clock. I believe it was the precursor to invoke the Insurrection Act…? At any rate, that 90-days runs out April 20th. Which is what makes the Saturday 4/5 DC March so important!

WHY ARE THEY ALL JUST CAVING? It’s stunning to me that these well endowed businesses and organizations are just rolling over and playing dead. Every day I lose respect for yet another organization I used to admire. Do they not see they’re like the Vichy French?

WOW. Strong words under any circumstances, but coming from a judge? That’s the legal equivalent of “back the f*ck off, you lying motherf*ckers”.

Someone needs to make it clear to JD and his buddies that “no means no” for countries as well as women. Not sure if that’s true for couches though….

Yup. I’m figuring martial law by the end of April.

Even worse - dragged off the streets by apparent vigilantes in hoodies and masks with no insignias, no badges, and no warrants.
