I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

Put aside the nastiness of this post, & the way in he attacks Zelenskyy as a dictator but says not a word about his pal Putin, & just focus on the way it is written: would you hire this weird person to work for you? Would you trust this odd person to teach your kid in school?

Antisemitism is a canary in the coal mine signaling the erosion of democracy. Ask yourself why Musk and Vance are so invested in the success of Germany’s far right.

Yes, the Trump-Vance administration just told Germany it should make nice with a far-right political party with a history of using Nazi rhetoric and accepting racists and antisemites. And no Republican will complain. This is neo-fascism. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/14/w...

Holy cow. Serious national security implications of the Musk-Trump sledgehammer approach. National Nuclear Security Administration internal email: “The termination letters for some NNSA probationary employees are being rescinded, but we do not have a good way to get in touch with those personnel.”

Joe Biden might have been old, but his administration and its officials knew what the National Nuclear Security Administration was responsible for and never fired those in charge of managing our nuclear stockpile “by accident.” The level of their incompetence is embarrassingly staggering.

The magnitude of what Trump’s doing is being underreported. The reaction by the media & our leaders is absent. The sky is falling. We're under attack. We're vulnerable in so many ways & where's the leadership? But, hey, here's a funny SNL skit. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8YHb8Mp/ Who will step up to lead?

You know, the rest of the White House Press Corps could collectively decide to not attend briefings, pressers, or pools until their AP colleagues are reinstated with access, but that would take a modicum of courage and integrity in this moment, wouldn't it?

Thursday Night Massacre by @harrylitman.bsky.social The latest is rampant, mind-bending rumors that the new guard has put all of the public integrity attorneys in a room, some 22 of them, & given them an hour to choose someone to sign a dismissal of the Adams case, or all of them will be fired.

📌I was the managing editor at Stars and Stripes and can tell you that Pete Hegseth is the first SecDef I am aware of to be openly booed by military families on a military base. 📌This is the most significant pushback I have seen to this administration's racist, hostile initiatives.

Genuine legal question: Why has no lawyer tested whether Elon is government or not with a lawsuit about his many false claims? He is slandering people and it is losing them their jobs. Sure, maybe he's protected as DOGE. But that would have massive implications for 1A claims Re Xitter.
