Homan’s effort to use the power of the federal government to intimidate and silence political opponents is both dangerous and par for the course for the Trump administration. But it also demonstrates MAGA’s weakness. And go @aoc.bsky.social! www.publicnotice.co/p/aoc-homan-...

I realize what a long shot this is, but our kid threw their beloved teddy bear out of the shopping cart at the Target at Sunset and Western in Hollywood. Teddy is much missed if you happen to hear of a missing bear!

USAID’s website has been deleted, all that is left is a note saying all personnel are now on administrative leave and personnel outside the US are to be brought home. Completely illegal, no act of congress or even executive order was signed to dismantle the agency

I’m going to say this to my entire Party and to the press: I need you to stop treating a constitutional crisis like it’s only a political crisis. We are in new waters…it’s time to start flexing new muscles.

We were just told that they won’t let us in. They are denying entry to 2 dozen members of Congress. Elon Musk has all our private information & we have no idea what he’s doing with it. This is happening completely behind closed doors. HELL NO. It’s illegal. We demand oversight!

We’ve been on the phone with multiple agencies/orgs. They’ve been completely cut off from federal money. We’re talking housing, homeless services, public safety, etc. I’m calling a press conference today to explain how this could have drastic local impacts to our constituents.

Heard from inside the National Cancer Institute, part of NIH — travel through April is canceled. Purchasing with government card is frozen. All public comms are off limits. Can’t even submit abstracts to future meetings. Can’t submit *manuscripts* for publication. All hiring activity frozen. Fuck.

Target rolling back their DEI policies? Between that and the circle app, I think I’m about done. Too bad for them; I used to be a loyal target shopper.

Every time one of these corporations makes an announcement about rolling back DEI, we need to assume it's a business that is highly invested in our return to segregation. Then we direct our money elsewhere. Because no, it's not better for their bottom line to refuse people's money.

Mike Johnson is considering withholding federal aid to California, because as God always says, when it all burns down and the innocent people are suffering : “There should be conditions on that aid”.
