They should be ashamed. They aren’t. But they should be.

We're nearing the end of the first chapter of Musk's coup, where the Supreme Court reifies his takeover of the U.S. government. Senate Democrats have very, very little time to shut down the Senate before this Constitutional crisis becomes a post-Constitutional reality.

Uncovered this today. A little worrisome that I get blank looks when I note that there have been 3 fatal plane crashes since he’s back… #americanamnesia

Sooo...with T-Mobile partnering with Starlink to offer coverage for every phone in their network... Doesn't this mean that absolutely no communication on a T-Mobile phone is safe from the government?

"I keep running this in my head and I can't think of the scenario where all of a sudden these people decide, oh my gosh, we've gone too far, we have to obey the law, even if we don't like it." @gtconway.bsky.social talks keeping our government intact with @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social:

Quick recap of the past 24 hours: JD Vance is setting up a possible constitutional crisis by suggesting that Trump could disregard a federal judge’s order. The CFPB has been nearly completely shutdown. Trump is railing about Taylor Swift and stopped the production of pennies.
