Rep Kevin Hern—scared to say anything against Trump. The obvious—if Zelenskyy were a dictator, Trump would love him like he loves Putin. Glad to see folks in Oklahoma calling him out. Even small town halls matter right now. Don’t let them off the hook. Keep calling, emailing, and confronting them.

From the beginning of his first term. Trump wanted to have a military parade in DC. “His” generals said no, because the streets would buckle under the tanks/trucks, and because they felt it was un-American. Those generals are gone now. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

Just a reminder that the neither the U.S. Digital Service (which has been converted into DOGE) nor OPM has any legal authority to direct every single federal government employee to give them a job summary. Literally no such authority at all.

This is how I would respond to the email Musk has had sent to government employees (not legal advice). 1. Refused to violate the law. 2. Refused to violate the Constitution. 3. Refused to bow or scrape. 4. Refused to bend a knee. 5. Deleted this stupid email.

C-PAC is a cult gathering, not a convention! This “Third Term Project” poster at CPAC is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. The same people who were screaming about “the deep state” are now openly fantasizing about a dictator-for-life.

"Trump also revealed...that he wants to use his power to remove one of the biggest contributing factors to traffic congestion in the first place — bike lanes. 'They should get rid of the bike lanes and the sidewalks in the middle of the street,' he said. 'They’re so bad. They’re dangerous.'" (NYP)
