@meidastouch.com @harrylitman.bsky.social @talkingfeds.bsky.social @dahlialithwick.bsky.social What say all about this gem? "Trump and Bondi argue removal restrictions for administrative law judges are unconstitutional" in letter to Chuck Grassley

Elon Musk’s private security detail gets deputized by US Marshall Service

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

i would give money to pacs drafting primary challengers to pretty much any democrat in leadership. i’d hop on a strategy zoom. i’d make any introductions/connections i could to help make an effort like that happen.

AOC speaking to a thousand NYC federal workers and allies about the urgency of resisting Musk 🔥🔥🔥

AOC is currently the de facto leader of the Democratic Party.

This week's episode is NIFLA v. Becerra, where the Court said that attempts to crack down on fraudulent "crisis pregnancy centers" infringed on their freedom of speech.

One of the most helpful, solid, hyperbole-free, dismissive-free, comforting things I’ve consumed about the last few weeks. @fivefourpod.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/6NoN...

Remember Chumbwumba? The band that did the TubThumping song? They had a song in 1993 which didnt get much traction but now Its banned on X/Twitter youtu.be/OLkPwxcIji0?...

Hey, #USDepartmentofEducation - no one with two brain to rub together is "celebrating" shit. "Today, the U.S. Department of Education celebrated President Donald J. Trump’s nominations to lead the Department’s critical education reform agenda."

Department of Education has clearly been taken over by fascists. Jesus Christ on roller skates, folks, this website reads like something straight from Chinese propaganda for Chairman Mao. www.ed.gov/about/news/p...

It's a self-driving clown car, clearly. www.vox.com/politics/400...

Trump and Melania cryptocurrencies are nothing but a scam, another fraud www.cryptopolitan.com/hayden-davis...

Exactly. Musk and Trump need to be removed from office. JD Vance is a turd sandwich. The entire GOP is a scam and trying to undermine the lives of 99% of US citizens. www.reddit.com/r/freelanter...

It would be a damn shame if this image got traction and Donald had to see this all the time. #trump #firstlady #elonmusk

Anyone care to guess what proportion of immigrants are in the US from visa overstays? Staying longer than their visa? 30%? 25% 10% In 2017, 90% of people here illegally were in the US from visa overstay. www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

As a daily user of Reddit CEO Steve Huffman can go hump himself arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025...

JD Vance might be the dumbest VP the US has ever experienced. Saying Russia is not a threat and Europes biggest threat is within it's own borders is absolutely irresistible. But, the US greatest threat is within our own borders and rhymes with Hump and Dusk www.cnn.com/world/live-n...

Christians who voted for Trump are absolutely the most gullible people. Trump has a literal golden goat plaster with $100 bills stating "In Trump We Trust" Moses did all that work years ago and here we are again, worshipping false idols, and Trump laughing in your face.

Folks need to read-up on the Indian Removal Act. Why? Because in 2025 Trump is advocating the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians using pretty much the same model as Andrew Jackson signed into law in 1830. #trump #gaza #palestine en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_...

And by many accounts his economic plan will add $4.5B more.

Mass firings have begun at federal agencies www.cnn.com/2025/02/12/p... Let's see; 25% tax increase + mass firings raising unemployment + tariffs on US goods abroad killing demand + grants and contracts cancelled = economic collapse; China wins & MAGA has screwed all of us

The Republican party has exposed themselves through Trump and Musk. This needs to happen far and wide.

If you have an NSF grant, you should see if your grant is on this list: www.commerce.senate.gov/2025/2/cruz-...

Did Elon's son tell Trump "You aren't the president. You need to go away?" "You need to shut the fuck up?" Watch and listen and you be the judge. #trump #elon youtu.be/g7XQgI4ZDL0?...

If we’re renaming bodies of water based on petty grievances, I propose that this be renamed the Kendrick Lamar passage.

TN LOOKOUT: — “(Trump & Musk’s) Foreign aid freeze halts UTK Ag program” tennesseelookout.com/briefs/forei... We asked house ag committee chair Chris Todd about this yesterday, he stayed silent 🤐: x.com/thetnholler/...

The new SuperBowl ad is the sponsorship for naming rights to the Gulf of Mexico

AP needs to update their maps cuz Trump said so.

Trump should lead with this every time, "First of all, the person speaking condones nothing of which he speaks and he might get all of his facts wrong also he deplores the use of pronouns"

A24 developing a trailer for their (reportedly hilarious) new comedy that's basically a stereotypical A24 thriller trailer... but, like, knows exactly that's what it's doing and why it's strange? Absolutely fascinating choice. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmSP...

Here is the problem: That is data and work we, US citizens, paid for and rely upon to make informed decisions. The Bureau of Labor Statistics nor DOGE has the authority to impound data.

100% "Common Sense" is a myth. Perhaps "common" had its place in simpler times, like in the 19th C and prior. "Common Sense" today is about as accurate as "Self-made" in that neither are accurate or truthful.
