Between this and golden tickets for oligarchs, the admin sending a clear message that their immigration policy is not about keeping criminals out of the US, it’s about giving priority to their type of criminal (white, right wing). And once again as w their hiring, being a sexual predator’s a plus.

Dr. Strangelove is never not relevant: "Mr. President, I'm not saying we wouldn't get our hair mussed. But I do say... no more than ten to twenty million killed, tops. Uh... depended on the breaks."

The Secretary of Defense goes on tv to explain he is preparing to have the military break the law.

He's openly admitting they're going to use the military to do illegal things and fired all the lawyers so no one will stop them. They will use the military on US civilians and they will give the order to shoot. The question is whether the rank and file listen.

Of course the person who was promoted because of their race in this exchange is actually Hegseth, whose only qualification beyond being a white male is bootlicking sycophancy.

State governments should cut off all state and local cooperation with the FBI, and they should do it immediately. No law requires it, the Constitution fully empowers you to not even return their calls. But there is no legitimate purpose now in treating them as an acceptable partner for anything.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

The American public restored a felon and insurrectionist to the presidency. He has outsourced key decision-making powers of the executive to his top donor, a billionare whose riches owe significantly to government contracts. This donor has, in turn, lawlessly seized powers from a compliant Congress

This morning, President Trump and his crony Elon Musk illegally seized $80M in congressionally-appropriated FEMA funding from NYC bank accounts. Trump and Elon stole tens of millions of dollars straight from our bank accounts--this is highway robbery, and NY cannot take this lying down.

@aoc.bsky.social is correct both as a matter of political strategy and constitutional duty. Cooperating with Republicans to bail them out of their own failures isn't fulfilling some higher duty to the people, it's empowering the wrong side in the most severe constitutional crisis of our lifetimes.

Research universities are often the largest employers in their region. They are often the primary health care providers to communities. This funding shift will not only reduce US research leadership, it will put working people out of work and reduce healthcare access.

NEW — DOGE now has full access to HHS Payment Management System, I’ve learned. The system distributes almost $1 trillion per year in grants (largest in the govt) and supports all of NIH, CDC + many other public health initiatives. Musk guy Luke Farritor is actively delaying payments to recipients.

Musk taking control of DOJ, OPM, Treasury, and USAID is nothing short of a hostile takeover of the US gvt. Aside from the nation's founding and the Civil War, this is the most important story in the history of the US. And is barely being covered by legacy media and MSM.

Indefensible for any news organization to still be on Twitter. "We think it's important for us to reach people who aren't necessarily" blah blah blah forget it. Do you routinely post on Nazi or white supremacist chat boards? Then don't post on Twitter, because the only difference is, it's bigger.

Wired is killing it. Also, the Musk goons being afraid of being identified says to me how tenuous all this shit is. If they have to face any actual resistance they can be defeated.
