One thing for Senate Democrats to do is announce they will use every tool at their disposal to block Bondi’s nomination until DOJ appoints a special counsel (ideally with beefed up firing protections) to investigate the widely reported crimes committed this week by Musk and his band of DOGE goons.

No one elected Elon but he is running the show. No security clearance but has taken over the Treasury . His poodle Donnie Dimwit is in the corner eating glue

Wheelchair bound Gregg Abbott issued an order to dismantle DEI rules….that literally allow him to enter the Capitol.

A female meteorologist was fired for accurately describing a Nazi salute, and a female pastor was threatened with deportation (despite being an American) for leading a service about having compassion for our fellow man. The bully pulpit broligarchy effect.

So we got less than 0.2” of snow last night. Schools and city offices are closed. My dog refuses to go pee. #Snowpocalypse.

worries me a bit that we can’t get beyond arguing the semiotics of a gesture anyone can see, done by a guy who spent billions on bringing the nazis back to twitter, who endorsed the AfD, etc etc

So there’s no such thing as democracy going on autopilot. Wake up. Pick your battles. Don’t expect a quick fix but make the effort.

I see that Melania chose to wear her Hamburglar hat to honor the criminals in the nation--and next to her.

New pod: @monacharen.bsky.social asks a damn good question: Why aren't Dems doing more to highlight Elon Musk's ties to rising global authoritarian and fascist movements and leaders? A huge opportunity is being squandered here. We dig deep into the Bannon-Musk feud: newrepublic.com/article/1901...

Appropriate mix of headlines. Climate change accelerates, while the business world, under pressure from US conservatives, abandons any attempt to stop it

Jamie Raskin's harsh takedown of Trump's call with Alito really nails it: The key is Alito's total lack of concern about even the appearance of corruption on SCOTUS's part. Pure contempt for us. On the pod, Politico's Kyle Cheney is great in unpacking all this: newrepublic.com/article/1900...
