New in PN: AOC shows how to fight back and stand strong "Prominent figures standing up can undermine the climate of fear that MAGA relies on to impose terror. AOC’s work on behalf of her constituents and refusal to be intimidated are models of resistance other Democrats would do well to imitate."

I understand why these stories exist but it’s important to be clear that he’s not “saving” 16 billion, he’s choosing, personally, without oversight, to wipe out 16 billion dollars of government services to veterans and the disabled and food safety etc etc

NEW: While Elon Musk and the DOT secretary were performatively dialoguing on X about SpaceX engineers visiting the FAA, unvetted SpaceX engineers were already being onboarded at the agency under a, well, DEIA policy. This is from @telliotter.bsky.social and @aarianmarshall.bsky.social

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

Elon Musk is not actually in charge of DOGE, per a Monday court filing. Musk “is not an employee of the U.S. DOGE Service or U.S. DOGE Service Temporary Organization." www.huffpost.com/entry/elon-m...

AOC has them sputtering mad because she’s educating people on constitutional rights. You don’t see them freaking out at Jeffries for talking about egg prices.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

There are about 100 or so prominent Nazi accounts on Twitter who are disproportionately responsible for the rise of neo-Nazism in the US and liberals should place a high priority on identifying them, and removing them from the public discourse

If someone shows you data saying 12 million people fraudulently collect Social Security every month simply by claiming to be 110+ years old but not dead, you could say “But that’s more people than live in New Jersey! Something’s wrong with this number.” Or you could be like Musk.

As a journalist who covers extremism at the local level, I think it’s a mistake to view Trump’s Napoleonic statement as solely about presidential power. Consider if it’s interpreted as a wink and a nod for any extremist to act outside the law to “save” the country as they see fit

NEW — In an alarming email last night reviewed by me, Coast Guard members learned that 1,135 members' direct deposit account routing information was compromised due to a data breach from unauthorized access. It was only discovered because an officer “reported anomalous activity” on their account.

This is a program for teenagers with serious disabilities who are finishing high school and transitioning to their next steps in life. Trump just axed it, effective immediately, in the middle of the night, with no notice.

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

This is what just happened and its the most fucking insane thing I've ever seen. 1) Article below comes out where the GOP is freaking out about working Friday. 2) Suddenly, MULTIPLE Trump nominees are fast tracked by unanimous consent. Now the Senate is on course to leave Thursday.

It's striking the extent to which there's never any justification given for any of this beyond "it's too many people" or "it's actually fake" and no apparent planning behind any of it. It's the aesthetics of "move fast and break things" without any discernible direction or purpose. It's cosplay.

This comment on r/fednews really stood out to me. Trump and Musk want people to think they're firing do-nothing "bureaucrats," but they're really getting rid of people dedicated to serving this country and keeping it operational. I hope these stories get told.
