BREAKING: SCOTUS holds that the nonprofits suing in California over the probationary employee firings do not “presently” have standing to bring their claims, so the preliminary injunction there is stayed. Judge Alsup also has union claims before him, though, and SCOTUS notes this isn’t about them.

Time to stock on toilet paper again.

You also couldn’t fly to other countries so trade was shit.

Just gonna leave this here…

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Can reading the Constitution be a requirement for the job moving forward? I guess it was implied but clearly needs to be spelled out. Maybe flash cards.

Reuters: U.S. JUDGE ORDERS TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TO RETURN MARYLAND MAN WRONGLY DEPORTED TO EL SALVADOR - COURT HEARING

Sadly I’m not holding my breath.

I guess Elon forgot to fire them.

This is heartbreaking. This administration should be ashamed of themselves.

CNN: Stock market plummets MSNBC: Stock market craters Highlights for Children: Stock market down big FOX News:

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

What kind of stupidity will he bring with him?

What the actual fuck?

About a month ago I looked at my retirement accounts for the first time in a while and was very pleased to see where I was at after working for almost 30 years. Well, it was nice while it lasted.

Thank God I took my kids to the National Museum of African American History & Culture last summer. Read my story here.

One big point amid all the headlines: I was texting with press secretary Karoline Leavitt during the event and she confirms that the 34 percent tariff on China is ON TOP of the previous 20 percent. So that means the rate on China will be *54* percent when these tariffs take effect.

I’m not crying…you’re crying!

Kristi Noem’s photo-op in El Salvador’s mega-prison was her Abu Ghraib moment. Trump’s administration is trading decency and democracy for cruelty and spectacle, and our protectors will pay for it. Read @membrich.bsky.social's commentary ⤵️

Of course they are.

Talk about abusing government systems.

Cory Booker is planning to stay on the senate floor for as long as he can stand. He is planning a marathon speech including a multi part presentation on how President Trump is harming the country. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/inside-...

Did we forget that this can be done in the US too?

Because no one saw this coming. 🙄

Diversity initiatives were meant to overcome the old patterns of nepotism, so I guess it makes sense that the enemies of diversity are big fans of nepotism.

I wrote this for the New Yorker about Donald Trump’s reign of terror against Big Law. Now he has gone after WilmerHale. www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

New in PN: All the laws flouted during SignalGate "There’s no excuse they can come up with that will be believable, bc the truth is obvious — they recklessly defied numerous laws by discussing war plans in a Signal group. And once they got caught, they made things even worse by incessantly lying."

I wonder if they’ll listen to Boasberg about this. Bwahaha just kidding. Of course they won’t.

On the left: Hegseth's message. On the right: the applicable CENTCOM classification guide provisions. This is all very plainly classified at the SECRET level. They all lied. They should all lose their jobs.

👇🏻

Confirming, as was obvious from context already, that this wasn’t a one-off. They are routinely using Signal to evade statutory record retention requirements.

This is amazing.

The Atlantic and @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social are committing journalism today. They have a vetted mega-scoop. They handled it responsibly. The WH and Admin lied about it. The Atlantic called their bluff. The material released just now is even more damning for the Trump team.

You use the officials USGovt secure channels to hide communications from bad actors. You use Signal to hide communications from the USGovt.

The lives of American troops - and every American life - depends on the people in charge of our government taking their responsibilities seriously. But again and again, including with the incompetence that came to light today, they are demonstrating the opposite. My full interview here:
