This last election was, in part, a watershed moment for a decades-long theocratic coup of the US government by collaboration of extreme Catholic cults Opus Dei & Knights of Malta—and the broligarchy. Well, now it appears Opus Dei also has the Chief Justice. www.mind-war.com/p/catholic-c...

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

The biggest story in the country right now is how many lawsuits DOJ is losing trying to defend Musk and Trump. I've never seen so many courts, so clearly outraged at the federal government. The latest one, blocks cuts at HHS and FDA. Visit www.democracydocket.com to stay informed.

Looking back, it all makes sense. First, he fired the internal watchdogs. Only four days after taking office, Donald Trump fired at least 17 inspectors general in a way that defied the law and commonsense. At the time people asked: Why start with them? Why not give Congress 30 days notice?

I can’t believe the Supreme Court said the president was above the law and now the president is acting like he’s above the law.

Feel like we need to start developing a different form of posting here. Ones which don't chase the new but restate what matters. Like: None of these "cuts" Musk is doing are legal. None. He has no authority to cut, dissolve, fire, vaporize. He's an extraordinary criminal, a traitor to the US.

Mr. Patel has been directly involved in secretly orchestrating a purge of career officials at the FBI. Emil Bove, then acting No. 2 at the Justice Department, fired career civil servants solely at the request of a private citizen.

Musk is acting on the dystopian vision he shares with Thiel, Vance, and Curtis Yarvin—dismantling democracy for billionaire overlords. Gil Duran has tracked it for years, and Fred Wellman breaks it all down with him in a new On Democracy.

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

Headed to court this morning with the Legal Dream Team, including @normeisen.bsky.social and @markzaidesq.bsky.social, to stop the WH from collecting the identities of FBI officials who did work on the J6 cases. These officials did their jobs. They fulfilled lawful orders. They deserve privacy.

Like most aspiring autocrats, he fears democratic institutions because they threaten to place restraints on him. And for him and his movement nothing is more concerning than free and fair elections. He knows from experience that it is just as easy to lose an election as it is to win.

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!

THREAD: In 2023, I received an envelope with no return address. Inside was a flash drive containing tens of 1000s of secret files. It came from a vigilante with a tumultuous past, who'd conducted a years-long undercover operation. He didn’t tell the FBI or his family. He only told me.

I can name many people standing up to Trump. They inevitably are taking far greater risks than the billionaire owner of the Washington Post, certain cable news hosts, or Christopher Wray. Sadly, every day we are learning who has courage and who will obey. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/now-...
