The regime has been slicing through Constitutional protections at every turn- protections that we've taken for granted and that now only seem to hold up if all parties agree to them. This is a take on the 3rd Amendment that I hadn't considered. open.substack.com/pub/petepogg...

Really interesting article, this part stuck out particularly well to me:

these are our party leaders now, ignore all other opinions

Note to Dem leaders: If you consider how much the political landscape has changed in two months and you’re calculating your political tactics because you think you know what the world will look like in fall 2026, much less 2028, you’re deluding yourself.

Ah. The good old town hall

lutnick: [still going, next day] so vikings could murder, right? that's just the rules, they could murder. let's be clear. and you could fuck anything you kidnapped, and from 12 and up it was all good

Of the three presidential campaigns against Trump, two (2016 and 2024) made elaborate appeals to centrists at the expense of their relationship with progressives, and only one (2020) prioritized efforts to bridge the gap with progressives, however impermanently. The latter approach won.

Who is to say that licking oneself is non-human behavior?

Just to be clear, a big reason @altssa.altgov.info and I are here is because it's painfully obvious to employees that SSA is being sabotaged. They want it to break so they can kill it and blame us. We need all your help to spread the word far and wide so these people can't escape responsibility.

Action time, Junior Rangers! We all need to request our personal data, as is our right by law, and Rep Jamie Raskin has provided us with the information and a template to do so. Sally forth! 🦊

Musk, like Trump, doesn’t lie to be believed. He lies to be repeated, which creates belief. Why wouldn’t they when even the fact checks go out of the way to spread their lies first and foremost?

DOCUMENT DESTRUCTION: My reporter Brett Murphy obtained a remarkable directive to folks at USAID: Empty the safes with the classified and personnel records and then, "Shred as many documents first, and reserve the burn bags for when the shredder becomes unavailable or needs a break."

The judge also said the freeze on roughly $2 billion in foreign aid likely "flouted" the Constitution. www.huffpost.com/entry/judge-...

Calling them "Pity Teslas", as Daily Beast does today, is perfect. Honestly, with Trump buying one, this just has all the stench of death about it. Reminds me of McCain in Sept 2008 saying "the fundamentals of the economy are sound" a day before the bottom dropped out. Maybe Tesla needs a GoFundMe?

I think every Democrat should read @normornstein.bsky.social's piece in the New Republic. newrepublic.com/article/1925...

Found the solution to oligarchy in a newspaper from 1860.

I can't stand it. I know they planned it.

FIGHT YOU FUCKERS. This is a question of do you want ass fucked or face fucked.. if ya lay real still it won't be as bad. Is that what I just fucking read? If Trump can change the rules, so can the Dems. Do something unprecedented. I like hubs idea of hitting Trump with impeachment papers every day.

A full paragraph of “he’s no angel” before some mealy-mouthed “this might be unconstitutional.” Seriously, primary Hakeem Jeffries. He is not the man for the hour.

2026 and 2028 will be a disaster. The Dems are just as bad as the GOP when it comes to taking a personal inventory of themselves and their part. Dems still stumping for billionaires, blame people on the left 1/2

McDonald's is testing facial recognition and AI at drive-thrus. The AI is reportedly being used for tailored promotions. It analyzes prior purchases and even weather trends, so you could see a deal on the app for a cold treat on a hot day. www.msn.com/en-us/money/...

This is how I convinced my wife the #TeslaTakedown could work. The price-to-earnings ratio tells you how much you pay for each dollar of a company's profits. Microsoft: 31.64 Apple: 37.89 Google: 21.89 Tesla: 128.13 Why are you paying, by this metric, as much as 5X for Tesla? Hype. Lies.

That's a great big "ayuh" from us, Congresswoman! 💩

AOC: It's really because Republicans— they’re very thin skinned and they're very sensitive, and their feelings are very easily hurt. And so they have to vote on censure resolutions.

1. What explains the paralysis that seems to have overcome us, as we watch the most powerful nation of Earth spiralling towards fascist dictatorship? Well, a large part of it, I feel, is the surreal, astonishing uselessness of the Democratic Party. 🧵

This is such an obvious point that I'm agitated that I didn't make it. I feel like it's my job to make all the obvious points, but apparently, not the ones that also happen to be very important.

Every democrat should have disrupted until the point of removal. Nobody stood with Green. This is why the Dems lose. They frequently say to #resist but have no clue how to actually #fight

Incredible. Added this to r/onethingtodo www.reddit.com/r/onethingto...

The U.S. Treasury Department says it will not enforce an anti-money laundering law that requires millions of business entities to disclose the identities of their real owners. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

The NYT published an article on Saturday about judicial impeachments. You can read that or you can read one better that came out earlier and featured better analysis: www.huffpost.com/entry/elon-m...

Folks are frustrated with Dems in Congress right now. Here’s my solution - get the hell out of DC and hold some hearings. I love town halls, but we need to focus on people right now. Have folks come testify about how these cuts are affecting them. Get local media there. Make it real.

Oh you could say I dabble in Photoshop #teslatakedown @niedermeyer.online

It’s nice how they’ve replicated the middle school dynamic of the insecure bully and his sniveling sidekick picking on someone surrounded by a circle of scared little boys who also try to talk shit so the bully doesn’t come after them. Or as the right calls it, “masculinity.”

The U.S. has two tsunami warning centers, both operated by NOAA. Employees were terminated from these centers today. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center covers Hawaiʻi, and now it is less safe to be near the beach. www.tsunami.gov

Andrew Tate being allowed to come to the U.S. and avoid facing trial for sex trafficking in Romania is beyond stomach-churning. This man is a HUGE influencer and uses his platform/following to further abuse women who have accused him. Now he won’t face justice, reaffirming his lies to his followers

Oh dear. Spelling matters. Sometimes more than others.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.
