The lead prosecutor in the Eric Adams case has resigned over DOJ's order that the case be dismissed. "I expect you will eventually find someone who will be enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me." www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Pretty damn good framing for Dems

They don't think the presidency has these powers, a democrat was president less than a month ago and they didn't think he had them. They just think America should be a dictatorship where they rule forever bsky.app/profile/jame...

What are acceptable interest rates to receive from the U.S. Government for its debt obligations if the payment decisions are in the hands of one unelected, drug addled oligarch is a question I expect the market to begin asking.

If it were legal to fire you, they wouldn't put so much effort into getting you to resign voluntarily.

Should go without saying but the point of diversity in hiring is to find _better_-qualified candidates outside of stagnant social networks that don't reward merit, like the kind of network that would put an MTV personality with a marketing degree in charge of the Department of Transportation

And I could use less ontological dithering from the media of record here. That’s a Nazi salute, that’s a concentration camp, and that’s a lie. Euphemisms have gotten too expensive.

To every Senate Dem: Shut it the fuck down. Trump’s unconstitutional chaos will kill people. 1️⃣ Oppose all nominees until OMB reverses the freeze. 2️⃣ Deny Unanimous Consent to slow Senate proceedings. 3️⃣ Vote no on all Cloture. 4️⃣ Force Quorum Calls at every opportunity. It's time to fight.

It's Robbie Burns night. I've always loved this: To absent friends To those we have met To those we have yet to meet To those who have left us for a while And to those who have left us forever Let us lift our glasses And drink a toast That they may abide in our hearts Forever. To absent friends

Trump’s efforts to gut the federal workforce should be understood as part of the broader Republican project to make public services shitty so people will hate and resent the government. For other examples, see most red states. Republicans do not want a government that actually works for people.

I wish the average person—even those firmly in the middle and upper-middle class—understood they receive far more value from strong social, economic, and infrastructure programs than they’ll ever get back via arbitrary government tax cuts.
