@corybooker.com: “What has surprised me is the complicity of my Republican colleagues, who often have been champions of these ideas of privacy. There's no oversight… no transparency to what [Elon] is doing. And you hear crickets from Republicans.”

DOGE's questionable hires have had access to American's most sensitive data. @makenakelly.bsky.social says "at this point we have no idea [what they've seen] and I think that's the scariest part of this all."

Promise, the one group of immigrants I will harass endlessly are white South Afrikaners given refugee status via Elon Musk’s Rescue the Nazis operation paid with US tax dollars so they can mix their white South Afrikaner racism in with MAGA’s US style of racism.

The US government has now gutted all of the tools created to fight kleptocracy. It's going to be up to other democracies to save their political and financial systems from anonymous flows of cash. www.themoscowtimes.com/2025/02/07/w...

Merrick Garland is not to blame for Trump’s return to power. The blame belongs with Mitch McConnell and SCOTUS for failing to serve as a check on abuse of power. My thoughts in The Contrarian.

We are declaring drug trafficking cartels as terrorist organizations but Trump pardons the guy who ran the biggest online illegal drug market ever (silk road)? As an explicit political favor?

🚨BREAKING: @DouglasEmhoff reportedly confronted Bruce Fischer, Sen. Deb Fischer's husband, at the inauguration, saying, “Why would you try to shake my hand when you wouldn’t shake my wife’s hand?” This came after Fischer declined to shake VP Harris's hand but attempted to greet Emhoff. 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

Sergeant Gonell @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social sent me this picture. This is his call log. Each call is an automated Dept of "Justice" notification saying "The defendant you testified against is being released from the dept of corrections." Each defendant assaulted him.

House Republicans have been ordered to shut down the government. And hurt the working class Americans they claim to support. You break the bipartisan agreement, you own the consequences that follow.

GOP extremists want House Democrats to raise the debt ceiling so that House Republicans can lower the amount of your Social Security check. Hard pass.

House Democrats will never bend the knee to far right extremists who want to shut down the government.

The Musk-Johnson government shutdown bill has been soundly defeated. MAGA extremists in the House GOP are not serious about helping working class Americans. They are simply doing the bidding of their wealthy donors and puppeteers. Unacceptable.

The birthright citizenship portion of the US Constitution is totally, inarguably unambiguous. No wiggle room. If the supreme court agrees to throw it out they are explicitly throwing out the entire document and our entire system of government.

Technically, this should be under state jurisdiction. But if I lived in a red state and had a Trumper husband, I'd ditch him and FAST. (Thankfully, this is not an issue for me as HD is a Republican-free zone living in a Blue state)

Donald Trump is really paving the way for other narcissistic serial sexual abusers trying to reclaim their moment at a time when no one asked them to.

If you honestly believe that the Supreme Court would have let a trump trial happen before the election regardless of when he was indicted or by whom, you have way more faith in the Supreme Court than I do.

Time for citizens in North Carolina to oppose - and be heard about - this attempted democracy destruction. Citizen power is always underestimated. But history teaches us that if the people of North Carolina get engaged - and stay committed - this heinous Republican effort can be stopped. Do it.

DOGE is just a way of Elon implicating the government in his garbage Meme Crypto and simultaneously skirting both lobbying laws and government ethics laws to get what he wants.

1/ It’s going to be a wild ride for executive power during Trump 2.0. Here is a quick list of important issues where executive power is likely to be pushed hard, rethought, resisted, and/or, when possible, litigated. What am I missing?

This is a heartbreaking and crucial report of a preventable death, but unfortunately, @propublica.org yet again failed to mention a key detail: the hospital's religious affiliation. (1/3)
