On MTP Elissa Slotkin did not highlight crushing damage to US institutions by DOGE. Did not highlight why Al Green stood up and spoke out. Vaguely supportive of tariffs, with no mention of chaos. Didn't cast shade on H. Con. Res. Said Dems are on heels. Couldn't find Dems' spine. <pls repost>

A mallard duck minding her own business. There are many details within nature to stun such as the geometrical patterns of layered feathers. And with the bright sun and clear blue skies, off to find spring. Have fun! #Stunday #UKbirding #WildlifePhotography #PhotoHour #EastCoastKin #photography

Few realize what happened at USADF (not USAID). The situation got so tense that Trump and Musk's agents threatened to call the Marshals _and_ Secret Service to resolve the standoff...by force. It turns out that what they were doing was illegal—in fact, the most illegal thing "DOGE" has done yet.

Donald Trump targeted AP and legacy media did nothing. Donald Trump has now targeted two large law firms and Big Law is silent. You all read Martin Niemöller's poem “First They Came.” So, I ask you -- What are you doing?

Elon Musk is losing his mind over protests at Tesla dealerships. Why? His fortune is collapsing. Nearly all of it is Tesla stock. You know what to do, America. If you want to save our government from a coup, apparently the rebels’ weak spot is protesting and boycotting Tesla.

All I'm saying is, if you ran a campaign on democracy being at stake and democracy lost, isn't it time to be massively freaking out instead of doing this

Fact Check: "This is a Biden hangover.” Trump added $2.1 trillion to the deficit. Biden then reduced it by $942 billion. In the last 50 years, the deficit has increased by a total of $3.8 trillion under Republican presidents. Under Democrats, it’s gone down by $2.1 trillion.

This is honestly just deeply embarrassing for House leadership. They didn't proactively coordinate an effective response, and instead of doing any reflection on their own role, they're getting mad at the people who at least tried to do something.

So much profound beauty in our world. But it seems the forces unable to see beyond their own wealth, power, and egos are in the ascendant right now. It's our duty to mind ourselves and each other in these tough times, which may well get much worse. The living world depends on us never giving up. 🌍

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933. I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.
