So Elon and Duffy lied about DOGE just getting a tour of FAA. By the time Duffy lied about doge they were already being on boarded as staffers. They’re there to “fix” air traffic control. www.wired.com/story/faa-do...

Important @asharangappa.bsky.social piece on unique danger of Kash Patel as FBI Director. The FBI can cause great harm *acting lawfully*. DOJ rules limiting its behavior can easily be changed or ignored. Please circulate and maybe we can get to 51 nos! 1/2 www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/open...

Media are missing this if they don't include it. Yes, Judge Chutkan just denied temporary restraining order in New Mexico v Musk. But judge signals plaintiffs have the better argument when this reaches the merits: That Elon Musk is exercising power in violation of Appointments Clause. ⬇️Key para⬇️

This is cruel. The World Trade Center Health Program supports the heroic first responders and survivors of the 9/11 attacks who suffer medical issues. Everyone should be outraged by the Trump administration's staffing cuts to this critical program. ny1.com/nyc/staten-i...

The only comprehensible way to understand what’s happening is these miscreants are abusing their power to dismantle our democratic govt, destroy our democratic alliances to further enrich themselves and ally with dictatorships around the world. Pain, suffering, stability, security—they don’t care.
