Hagan Scotten, who wrote this spectacular resignation letter, was an army ranger for 8 years, top of his law school class (Harvard) & a John Roberts law clerk. Not exactly a candidate for Trump’s liberal deep state.

DOJ leadership has put all Public Integrity Section lawyers into a room with 1 hour to decide who will dismiss Adams indictment or else all will be fired. Sending them strength to stand by their oath, which is to support the Constitution, not the president’s political agenda. 🇺🇸

When I heard Musk say this on Tuesday, my assumption was that it was a programming issue. Because I can code and have written to databases and because I am familiar with other examples of default values being misinterpreted. Yet somehow Musk isn't.

"I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation. War is hell." William Tecumseh Sherman, who died on this day in 1891

With a couple obvious exceptions he almost always loses in court, that's why he ran for president, to keep from going to court.

I guess it’s outrageous that the American people want to know who is inside the government seeking to dismantle it and gain access to their data and a host of other sensitive info. We aren’t allowed to know who they are? Why not?

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and Donald Trump each announce their agreement to pause tariffs for a month. Sheinbaum beat Trump to alerting the public. You can see what Trump left out of his message.

This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Worth remembering that the trade agreement Donald Trump is effectively ripping up right now is the one HE negotiated and touted in his first term.

The Inspectors General refuse to leave until the action is taken legally, which they do not believe it was, and neither do senators like Chuck Grassley. This is what not backing down looks like. static.politico.com/b3/3e/5baf92...

As expected, the Trump team is already deleting climate info from government websites. In anticipation, our team at Urban Ocean Lab created a permanent archive of 100+ key resources and published a permanent archive: www.urbanoceanlab.org/resource-hub 👩🏽‍💻

"Pardons for January 6th would mark the first time in U.S. history that the leader of an insurrection pardoned insurrectionists. Globally, though, this brand of clemency is not original." We've now achieved that shameful milestone.

This is what happens when you don't properly evaluate pardon requests on an individual basis. Trump didn't look at prior criminal history, behavior in prison, or risk of dangerousness to the community following release. Now we all pay the price for him using the pardon power as a political reward.

This is NOT a reason for exercising the pardon power & it's not a legitimate use of presidential authority even if Trump is legally entitled to do it. Rewarding people for their political support of your candidacy by pardoning their kids is a sign of political corruption.

As Trump & his subordinates continue to walk back & renige on one campaign promise after another, MAGA can take comfort in knowing that Trump didn’t mean any of it & was only saying that shit to win the election so he can stay out of prison & further enrich himself & his friends.

So, Musk and the MAGA dopey-dopes on social media are declaring victory on a bill every Democrat voted for, 34 MAGA Republicans voted against, which took out the ONLY THING Trump wanted in the deal. Some victory.

The degree to which the Trump, his MAGA cult, the Tuckerites, and much of GOP sold out to Putin came down in part to the idea authoritarians can never lose. Assad is either now freezing in Moscow exile or dead in a smoking crater of aircraft debris. Sic semper, folks.

Amazing. David Perdue spent his entire business career getting rich by outsourcing American jobs to China. He’s no China hawk - the CCP was his business partner! These people say one thing to their sheeple then do the exact opposite of what their base believes they are doing.
