I hadn't seen this yesterday, Elon Musk saying two lawyers were "undermining civilization" which "seems like a generational trauma transfer issue." What a strange insult. Does he know their parents or something? Ah, I see: they're both Jewish. It's Musk being a Nazi. Again.

“I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. “I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.”

I wonder what would happen if @wyden.senate.gov @murray.senate.gov asked GAO to investigate whether DOGE's "receipts" claiming savings amounts to fraud. Honestly, it's the only fraud found so far. www.npr.org/2025/02/19/n...

The world’s richest man is trying to buy elections around the country while also while wielding unprecedented authority to fire thousands of government employees, unilaterally dictate federal spending, and bring in his own companies to remake vast swaths of the federal government.

What a disgrace. Bezos and the newspaper he has destroyed should be grateful that anyone thinks it’s still worthwhile to buy ad space from them. This is how democracy dies.

We need more of these op-eds in purple and red state local newspapers. Right wing MoC are getting their understanding of cuts from Xitter and Fox. They don't realize how many programs they favor are being cut, some irreparably.

The greatest political scandal today is not what Trump is doing. It is the fact that congressional Republicans have given up their role in the constitutional system as a check on the executive branch. If we are in a constitutional crisis, it is as much on Mike Johnson and John Thune as anyone else.

If you're not in the DC area, you should be organizing where you are. But if you are in the DC area, I think you're going to want to come to the Treasury building today at 5pm. It will be newsworthy. www.mobilize.us/moveon/event...

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

Am I the only one noting that after demonizing China for years, Trump seems to be letting them off lightly, while going full tilt against Canada? Is it Musk's business interests? Have Chinese players been buying Trumpcoin?

Let's be very clear: giving someone who gives Nazi salutes and is elevating neo-Nazi parties in Germany the ability to allocate government resources DOES NOT END WELL. If any federal official can't understand that they need to get the hell out of public service. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

A constitutional crisis requires friction to make it legible. That often comes from conflict between the branches of government, but a Republican-controlled Congress and SCOTUS are not interested in challenging Trump’s lawlessness. That why it’s especially important for Democrats to act.
