What was up with Friday evening's SCOTUS order about the U.S. Office of Special Counsel? At Law Dork, I explain: www.lawdork.com/i/157688311/...

Says the guy who won't even respond to the mothers of his own children

These people all have actual conflicts of interest that should keep them from working on any investigations like this. It's a measure of how tainted and corrupt this Justice Department is becoming and it breaks my heart. I hope it doesn't break our country. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

There are 3 special elections coming up and those 3 seats are the keys to stopping the Congressional Republicans doing Trump & Muskā€™s evil bidding. We need just 1 seat to block them, 2 seats to stop them, and with all 3 we can FLIP THE HOUSE. Join us!! Monday 2/24 @7:30 EST. šŸ‘‡šŸ‘‡ mobilize.us/s/Y9NrBb

This will go well.

NEW: The importance of being litigious. Lawsuits matter ā€” even when they might not "win." This afternoon, at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com/p/the-import...

Infuriating! šŸ˜” Donā€™t Cut My Medicaid! The majority of my sonā€™s medical team are in Austin (1.5 hr drive), some in Houston (3 hrs), one in Dallas (5 hrs). Telehealth appts are needed & necessary! My son has extreme car anxiety, not to mention wear and tear on our car, gas! šŸ¤¬ And weā€™re not alone!

Hey so theyā€™re deporting people who legally came here to study.

A new website created by about a dozen federal employees, called ā€œWe the Builders,ā€ aims to be a secure outlet for government workers to share stories about how their workplaces are being impacted by DOGE, and a place to explain the real-world impact of its access to government tech systems.

ā€œThat is why Trumpists are so focused on ā€œending DEIā€ in the federal workforce. They see anti-discrimination and inclusion as a ladder of upward mobility for people they do not believe should have one.ā€

This is what democracy looks like! #NotMyPresident

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

Rep McCormick (Roswellā€”safe red) canā€™t gaslight his constituentsā€”but they need to wake up. He wonā€™t do a damn thing to stop Trump. A woman asks about Trump declaring himself ā€œkingā€ & what he will do to stop him. His smugness is off the charts. This is the guy who said hungry kids should get jobs.

NEW: The Trump/Musk blitzkrieg aims to destroy government to advance oligarchy & autocracyā€”and to crush the Democrats & the progressive agenda. It's an existential crisis. Yet so many Dems are missing in action. In my OUR LAND newsletter, I ask, WTF? Pls share. link.motherjones.com/public/38721...

Kennedy Center Tickets Sales Plunge With Trump Takeover: Trump made a big deal out of firing the people who have so successfully managed what until now has been a non-partisan and treasured DC institution we currently know as the John F. Kennedy Memorial Center For Performing Arts. Or, as itā€™sā€¦

Trump is a goddamn traitor to America. Any congressional Republican who supports him ā€” or is afraid to stand up to him ā€” is just as much of a traitor as Trump.

ā—ļøTwo-thirds of Ukrainians trust Zelensky. Since January, the level of trust has improved from 57 to 65%, - the "Rating" poll According to its results, it was also determined that among foreign leaders,

Iā€™ll say, I never thought Elon was interesting enough to be influential. But it turns out all he needed to do was be the highest profile person ever to bring back Nazism, and every piece of shit alive would crawl out from under their rocks to do the same.

let me say that this is the classic ā€œjust asking questionsā€ approach to delegitimizing the achievements of black people. and critically, you donā€™t even have to be a black person who talks about race. simply being black to these people means you are ā€œobsessed with race.ā€

HELL YEAH!! The largest organization of professional and amateur surfers has just SLAPPED Donald Trump with a major lawsuit to protect California beaches from off shore drilling. SEE YOU IN COURT!

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Zelenskyy has shown the world what democracy means. Donald Trump is a convicted felon and a sexual pervert. These two men shouldnā€™t even be mentioned in the same sentence.

Did you know? Republicans want to cut $880 BILLION from Medicaid to pay for a massive $4.5 TRILLION tax cut for their billionaire donors! Let that sink in for a minuteā€¦

Trump is replacing our entire military leadership with blind loyalistā€™s.

What lies beneath. As goes the Great Salt Lake, so does Utah and surrounding states. Money from the Inflation Reduction Act marked the largest ever federal investment in the GSL. This is funding the Trump/Musk Administration calls wasteful. #utpol #FCNL #quakerlobby #quakerwitness #friends

A MUST-SEEā€¼ļø The PayPal Mafiaā€”Musk, Thiel, Sacks, and Bothaā€”have ties to apartheid South Africa & a hand in US policy and the election. ā€¢ Elon Musk ā€“ Unelected co-president, dismantling the government for his own gain. FUN FACT: His grandfather wanted to scrap democracy for technocrat rule. šŸ§µ

Have you noticed the press is not calling this the Trump-Vance administration? Donā€™t let Vance escape your attention, even though he isnā€™t making headlinesā€”heā€™s still dangerous.

Kanye West, who recently launched a swastika shirt, calls Steve Bannonā€™s ā€œRoman saluteā€ fun

Posting in former SpaceX internsā€™ message boards full of low 20-something tech bros to recruit for DOGE seems like a thoughtful way to run a fed govt dept. When your tax return, SS check or veterans benefit is late or never shows or your paycheck gets blindly axed, youā€™ll know who to thank.

Economists fear Trumpā€™s mass layoffs will trigger 'deep, deep recession' ā€” and soon: The total number of federal government workers who will lose their jobs because of mass layoffs being pushed by the second Trump Administration and the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)ā€¦
