Only speaking in generalities to preserve source confidentiality. But we hear a lot about DOGErs heading right for the personnel files at these offices they go to. Seeing increasing amounts of evidence that these files are being searched for details to create pretexts to fire people. But the ...

Trump officials fired nuclear staff not realizing they oversee the country’s weapons stockpile, sources say.

I’ve traveled widely and lived a lot of places. During Republican administrations I get attacked, during Democratic administrations I get praised. I never played the game of putting a Canadian flag 🇨🇦 on my backpack. /1

Holy Shit. They're burning through people pretty fast now. After Sassoon refused/resigned, the next two people - heads of Public Integrity Section (DC) and the Criminal Division also refused/resigned. This all JUST happened. And these are all 'actings', so they're people the Trump crew chose.

The Real ‘Gulf Of America’ Is Between The News Outlets That Cover This Administration.

For these clowns, “Après moi, le deluge” is less of a warning and more of a goal.

The biggest story in the country right now is how many lawsuits DOJ is losing trying to defend Musk and Trump. I've never seen so many courts, so clearly outraged at the federal government. The latest one, blocks cuts at HHS and FDA. Visit www.democracydocket.com to stay informed.

The best way to fight back against Musk: Don’t buy a Tesla. (And if you own one, sell it.) The company was already in a precarious position before Musk launched his assault on democracy. A Tesla boycott would be devastating – and richly deserved. Me, in Slate 🧵

Even now, centrists refuse to look at the actual evidence for anything the far right has claimed about “wokeness” - about trans people, about cancel culture and so on. They’ve just believed it. Like the mass of people who once upon a time happily accepted that Jews were a “Question”.

Two weeks ago, Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley demanded an "immediate" explanation from the White House about Trump's inspectors general findings. Two weeks later, Trump not only failed to respond, he fired *another* IG. So what is Grassley going to do about it? www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Since JD Vance just converted to Catholicism 5 minutes ago, he might not know this: the Pope authoring a letter where he goes out of his way to correct you, specifically, is considered "bad" in the Catholic tradition

Humanities and sciences are all in the same boat. We need to act like it or we all drown.

Just awful: One of the inspector generals that Trump fired was examining Elon Musk's failures to meet reporting protocol designed to safeguard national security as a major recipient of Pentagon contracts. It's time to follow up on that. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1913...

This. 1000% this.

I realized today that Trump, Musk, DOGE, Vance, Miller, Vought and their many collaborators have broken so many laws already that they know they have to destroy our government and entire way of life to stay out of jail. This is all or nothing. We should respond accordingly.

I’d be really surprised if Tesla lets Musk access their computers the way he’s raiding ours.

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

There is still beauty in this world

NEW: Marko Elez, Musk operative at Treasury, not only isn't limited to read only access (has admin privileges) but has already made extensive code changes to the Treasury Dept payment system. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/musk-...

Hey, we're within the thirty day window, right? I want to return 2025, it's obviously defective. www.dailykos.com/story/2025/1...

To every politician/legislator worldwide deciding to give Big Tech and GenAi companies legislative wins, you are siding with thieves who are being exposed in the courts. Also training from ill gotten sources is standard operation of all GenAi Dont bet your careers on thieves. It’s not worth it.

I don't where this all ends up, but I don't think a democracy in which only one of the two major parties is committed to peaceful transition of power is particularly sustainable!

Congratulations! We are all within hours of surviving 2024 & ready to face the challenges of the decade that will be 2025.

I focused on Steph's eye and waited for the spot lights to hit around him giving me this beautiful frame. Curry was warming up on the court before player introductions. #photography #photojournalism #dubnation #stephencurry

Jimmy Carter was a good, though not quite great, president. Jimmy Carter became the greatest ex-president in our history, arguably surpassing Washington relinquishing the seat, by devoting the remaining 40+ years of his life to service to his community. I salute the passing of the best of us.

The Hallmark Christmas movie they’ll never make because the red state target audience would revolt.

This lady.. is really saying something here. Whew. 🔥 part 1. (Part 2 below 👇🏾)

I need this quite often, especially when I'm stuck inside at a desk in the middle of a skyscraper forest

Being anti-ai is not ableist. What is actually ableist is to suggest that disabled people need to resort to plagiarism and theft to create art.

There seems to be a lot of misinformation going around so please allow me to clarify. Matt Gaetz did not have sex with a 17 year old girl. Matt Gaetz raped a trafficked 17 year old girl and then venmoed the guy who trafficked the girl; aka her pimp.
