BREAKING: A federal judge in California has ordered OPM to rescind memos calling for the mass termination of probationary employees, saying the agency overstepped its legal authority and must inform other agencies it lacked the authority to issue such a directive.

When I read articles about GOP states doing horrific shit, I go to see who spoke in favor. A large chunk of the time, they have ties to the GOP. Kathryn Kueter, who supported trans civil rights being removed, use to work for Sen. Chuck Grassley, & more. www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/p...

A week ago, Pam Bondi went on Fox News claiming the files were sitting on her desk. Now, in a fabricated letter to Kash Patel, she insists she never received them. Congrats on shifting the news cycle. Lie better.

The FAA is close to canceling a $2.4 billion contract with Verizon to overhaul the communications system that serves as the backbone of the nation’s air traffic control and is awarding the work to Musk’s Starlink. Follow the money and see where it goes.

New, from me: Tulsi Gabbard purged trans intelligence officers after a Chris Rufo smear campaign. They were targeted because they were trans, their words were mischaracterized, and they were offered no due process. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-era-of...

Musk claims to be removing fraud from government, but the corruption is happening in plain sight. He called for the FAA chief who regulates his companies to resign FAA then cancels a $2.4 billion contract with Verizon and gives it to Musk instead donmoynihan.substack.com/p/musks-frau...

Everything that we warned the American public about regarding RFK Jr. is already happening. An excerpt from an OpEd that @jimalwine.bsky.social and I published. We wrote about about what happened in Samoa with the measles outbreak there and said, simply: “The same will happen here”.

A federal judge in Washington said that the way the Trump administration set up and has been running Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency could violate the Constitution.

Once again, we're in a situation where a lack of coordination requires officials to clean up a mess created by Musk/DOGE. Regardless of what the constitution requires, it's a not-so-unitary executive in practice. Federal employees need better ex ante guidance. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/24/u...

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

I would be difficult to overstate the degree of confusion, disagreement and uncertainty right now within the federal govt over whether or how to comply with DOGE on everything from the firing email to the demanded firings.

The "left" is anyone they don't like, even other right-wingers. Honestly, they hate reasonable conservatives more than leftwingers Groups (like them) that go through what's known as Fellowship of Applied Conservative Leadership are taught RINOs are the enemy. facl-training.org

I know I’m not alone in my ambivalence here where on the one hand it is so, so bad - in ways we won’t truly comprehend for years - that we have burned bridges this badly with every ally and neighbor; and, also, the planet is so long overdue for the other kids to finally tackle the schoolyard bully

Our German supporters made us realize we made a mistake, and we want to acknowledge it. Germany, you’re in our thoughts. While we’re relieved that AfD was defeated, we understand this is not a moment for celebration. There is still much work ahead, and we stand in solidarity with you.
