The nations top research universities (R1) are under assault by the Trump administration. Pitts has paused all PhD admissions for next year. Many R1 schools are also Division 1 NCAA schools. All SEC, Big 10, ACC, Big 12, Ivy League schools. Suspend sports and explain it is due to Musk, Trump

Musk and DOGE are closing local Social Security offices, making it hard for people with disabilities to access help. Frank Bisignano, former FISERV CEO, is Trump’s nominee for commissioner of Social Security. He is likely to expand this. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

Gqp extremists plan to cut YOUR Medicaid to give the very rich tax cuts. You good w that? Keep pressure on Congress! Call out GQP. Dems need out support, ideas & energy. Pressure outside gives folks in the building courage. (202) 224-3121 #DontCutMyMedicaid #usDemocracy #DemVoice1

This is such a savvy move by Judge Ho. It’s not just that Clement has impeccable (conservative) credentials; he was the Solicitor General from 2004–08, and even Acting AG briefly, so he can participate with quite a bit of perspective as to the proper role of the Department of Justice.

American Pundits: It was an exuberant and controversial gesture of uncertain significance… Actual Fascists: It’s a Nazi salute.

North Carolina Supreme Court ruling boosts Republican efforts to overturn November election loss: Thursday's ruling means the fight over last year's Supreme Court race will likely drag on for weeks to come

The story of a Trump-voting fired IRS worker "is truly a Leopard Face-Eating situation where he is shocked that his life got destroyed and he thinks that it must be some mistake or oversight. How are we supposed to react to that?" Today's Triad from @jvl.bsky.social:

"No outcomes are ever preordained, nothing is ever over, and you can always affect what happens tomorrow by making the right choices today" - Anne Apllebaum - We're standing at a crossroads! 🇪🇺🇺🇦🇺🇸 It's up to you! #BlueSkyFriends We need to be brave! 🧵1/9

Keep repeating- trump only cares about himself and musk is the same.

❗️“Thank you all for your help and for the sense of unity – unity that is as important now as it is in 2022,” Zelenskyy said. “I am proud of our people, proud of everyone who fights, who helps and believes – believes that evil should not win in wars.”

INDISPUTABLE FACTS: •Russia invaded Ukraine. •Ukraine bears no responsibility for Russia’s invasion. •Russian aggression is a threat to the entire world. •We stand with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. We stand w/all the people of Ukraine. Follow all: WE ARE THE OPPOSITION. go.bsky.app/AMZH6uh

As the child of two immigrants who came here seeking a better life (and one whose own parents brought her here as a baby to escape imminent danger) I take this demonization of and terrorism against immigrants personally.

United Healthcare stock is tanking because the DOJ is investigating fraudulent Medicare billing. Health insurance for profit dances on the graves of all it has failed. www.wsj.com/health/healt...

"Key congressional Republicans have powers they’re choosing not to use... "Senator Susan Collins, for example, believes the White House and DOGE may be breaking the law. She doesn’t, however, seem eager to use her considerable influence..." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

And now we have the answer on why Louis DeJoy abruptly resigned as Postmaster General. Trump intends to take over the Post Office. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

We need to keep this momentum. More Americans believe Trump is a dictator.

Over on X, simple tweets by my colleague Greg Bluestein of the Atlanta Journal Constitution have been blocked. They were nothing but video of a town hall held by Rep. Rich McCormick R-GA where he was asked questions about DOGE

Fire Park and Forest Rangers, visits drop, watchful eyes vanish. Rape the national treasures.

Musk went straight to the slurs after being called out yet again for saying that astronauts have been stranded on the International Space Station by the Biden administration for “political reasons”—a lie that astronauts themselves have repeatedly debunked.

This is exactly how Hitler talked. It's not even a comparison or analogy, as people claim. It's a direct connection in ideology as well as a similar approach to governance and relationship to democracy. This needs to be how we talk about it. They are the ideological descendants of Hitler.

She’s no Trump. She gets good things done, not wreaking havoc or destroying the country like Trump is.

Donald Trump: “[Canada] has to become the 51st state. And you heard the people booing the national anthem. I think ultimately they’ll be praising the national anthem.”

They're not even pretending it isn't, but MAGA keep insisting its just a generic hand motion that anyone might make.

OMFG! I don’t even know what to say.
