Trump Unsure What Department He Has To Cut To Make JD Vance Go Away theonion.com/trump-u...

The U.S. Department of Justice on Thursday said it would drop a case accusing Elon Musk’s space technology company SpaceX of refusing to hire certain immigrants.

As historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat writes, authoritarians normalize cruelty to divide and conquer. “Freeing people from the idea that they should respect others as individuals with dignity and autonomy is part of the agenda.”

Hegseth is going to fire every woman or Black person in military leadership.

Nailed it.

Firing qualified top military officials because they are female or Black is exactly why we need DEI policies.

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

What did he just do? Of course he did.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

In retrospect, the problems we experienced during the Biden administration weren't really problems, were they?

Translation: That’s a nice country you’ve got there. Would be a shame if something happened to it.

“They’re scared shitless about death threats and Gestapo-like stuff,” a former member of Trump’s first administration tells me. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

John Bolton confirms that Donald Trump is a "f*cking moron" and a "useful idiot." Nailed it!

I don't think people really get how these employee purges are just going to break the culture of public organizations for a very long time.

If Trump gives Ukraine to Putin, will Putin give Trump half the minerals? Asking for a friend.

NEW: A first-of-its-kind analysis by @propublica.org found that the sepsis rate in second-trimester pregnancy loss hospitalizations increased by more than 50% after Texas’ near-total abortion ban went into effect in September 2021. www.propublica.org/article/texa...

This is an excellent template and should be disseminated widely

The share of Americans employed by the government steeply dropped in the decades leading up to 2000, and has remained essentially flat since. A bloating federal workforce is a myth.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He goes on to ask if we suffered childhood trauma and concludes by suggesting we are suffering from “generational trauma.” This is my response. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

Judge Ana C. Reyes may be my newest hero.

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.
