It sounds like Republican Gov. Brian Kemp is duplicating Trump’s mode of governance by resorting to threats and forced compliance. georgiarecorder.com/briefs/on-ev...

PSA: Under the Attorney General Guidelines, an investigation on anyone cannot be based solely on First Amendment activity.

Kash Patel. Fucking Kash Patel. 😡

EXCLUSIVE: A federal worker at the EPA sent an incredible email to Administrator Lee Zeldin. He's refused to stay silent, and has asked me to share the email - and his name - with the public. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com: "Inspectors general are a headache for everyone. You know why? Because they're investigating every agency and they find stuff! Including waste and fraud and abuse! They wouldn't be firing them if they cared about waste, fraud, and abuse."

🗣️ @aoc.bsky.social out fighting for the people & federal workers: “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” 🇺🇸

Association of Metropolitan Planning Organizations is reporting that the US DOT has paused the approvals of changes to regional short-term transportation plans (STIPs). Unclear why DOT is requiring general counsel review of STIP amendments. This could delay investment in projects nationwide.

This cartoon says it all. Does anyone know who created it?

As Trump makes concessions to Russia, he is showing weakness on a level unprecedented in modern US history. His position is so weak that it is unlikely to convince anyone. Trump is a sheep in wolf’s clothing. The wolves can tell the difference "The Weak Strongman" snyder.substack.com/p/the-weak-s...
