I don’t know how many different ways to say that agency personnel don’t work for Elon. They don’t have to report to Elon. They report to their agency leadership, which reports to the President.

AZ AG Kris Mayes: This is a coup by Trump against our Constitution, because they are violating not only the separation of powers but also the court orders We have federal judges saying to Donald Trump and Elon Musk, “Stop this now,” and yet we believe they are violating those orders.

For the first weeks, Americans seemed frozen, expecting institutions to do something. Americans were used to “checks and balances” and “guardrails” working. That didn’t happen. People realized that they had to take matters into their own hands… open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Today’s cover of the Murdoch-owned New York Post

I’m not sure the world has seen a genuine supervillain until 2025. Of course there’ve been countless monsters: hitler, Stalin, pol pot. But a real life figure who fits the Gotham/Metropolis model. Plutocrat bigwig who is actually deeply evil & wants to run the world for cartoonishly stupid reasons.

More on the new Coalition of Nations coming together to stand against the Trump security crisis.

While Trump and Musk attempt to cut off funding for Medicaid and the environment—Senate Republicans are trying to pass a budget to set up giveaways to Big Oil and ultra-wealthy tax cuts. I'll be live on TikTok at 11pm. What do you want to hear about?

Threatening to use the criminal sanction of the state against an elected opposition figure for making statements well within the ordinary scope of political discourse. This is a deeply disturbing letter.

Trump looks weak and erratic—selling out to Russia, attacking Zelenskyy, and throwing workers under the bus. Markets are rattled, his approval is crashing, and his MAGA cronies are overstepping. Watch the MeidasTouch Podcast live at 8p ET/5p PT!

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

Garcia: The fact that the Trump DOJ now wants to silence members of Congress because we’re actually willing to take on Elon Musk is quite dangerous. It’s incredibly disturbing. But we’re not going to be silenced. We’ve got to push back.

EXCLUSIVE: While Department Of Justice Attorneys Claim Elon Musk Does Not Lead DOGE, Republicans Tell Their Constituents Otherwise Republican members of Congress are actively contradicting the Justice Department.

Rarely has so much ignorance & ahistorical BS been crammed into a single tweet. I know JD Vance & Donald Trump are busy surrendering to a KGB butcher, abandoning the cause of freedom, & destroying the security of America & her allies, but they'd do well to spend some time actually studying history.

Murphy: "The game is clear. We can see it. They're not even hiding it. There is not a rule of law anymore. There is one set of law for people who are loyal to Donald Trump, and there is one set of law for people who care criticize him. That is not democracy."

Correct. He does not believe in legal limits—on him. And he has no moral limits.

From the Admin that purports to support free speech, this baseless “Operation” is only meant to chill free speech. There is no predication for the FBI to open this investigation. The DOJ IG must monitor this closely — it appears to violate Department guidelines.

A Mississippi judge issued a temporary restraining order requested by the city of Clarksdale requiring a local newspaper, The Clarksdale Press Register, to remove an editorial that criticized city officials. The paper's owner said he planned to challenge the order.

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

This is correct.

European Parliament member 👇🏽

Forget NATO. Forget the EU. A new coalition of nations is emerging to deal with the greatest security crisis to hit Europe in decades.

Trump wants to end the war in Ukraine “to explore” business opportunities in Russia.  Translation: As soon as he throws Ukraine under the bus Eric, Don Jr, and Jared will be on the plane to Moscow to seal the “most incredible real estate deal in history.”

President Emmanuel Macron of France called a second emergency meeting of European allies on Wednesday to devise a united response to President Trump's remarks embracing Vladimir Putin’s narrative that Ukraine is to blame for the war.

The Trump administration’s actions will be tested in the courts and fought by unions. But scientists and university leaders said they have another fight ahead: They need to convince Americans — and Congress — that science is worth the investment.

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

The party of free speech!

Trump's former Vice President pushed back against his false claim that Ukraine started the war with Russia.

This afternoon, the top FDA food official responsible for overseeing America's food safety and inspections resigned from the federal government.

👀

The question is whether they have the courage to do that?

Welcome to Florida.

This is a concerning milestone. Bringing new investigations and prosecutions is different than just dismissing cases against allies.

That’s the ticket. Show up in court, with your Bar licenses on the line, and answer a judge’s pointed and specific questions on how this deal went down.

Go ahead. Let the people see you for what you are.

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.

"Elon Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service is seeking access to a heavily-guarded Internal Revenue Service system that includes detailed financial information about every taxpayer, business and nonprofit in the country, according to two people familiar with the activities, sparking alarm within the tax agency"

Trump spent millions in tax payer dollars today for photo ops at the Daytona 500 as storms in Kentucky, Virginia, and West Virginia killed at least 8 people, injured many more, and caused total devastation…Oh yea, Trump wants FEMA abolished. youtu.be/_yqIudpInQM?...

Posting here a thread by Stathis N. Kalyvas, who is not yet in BlueSky:

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.

NEW: In an op-ed, British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer says he is “ready and willing” to put British forces on the ground in Ukraine. www.bbc.com/news/article...
