This style of deeply trollish posting on previously sober official accounts was pioneered by the UK Russian embassy during the run up to the Brexit vote. It felt shocking at the time. The collapse of a kind of official decorum has been a hallmark of the slide into authoritarianism

How a Judge Tells a President to F**k Off open.substack.com/pub/muellers...

Another flip flop that didn’t age well…

Please repeat over and over: “Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.” —Gov. JB Pritzker

The White House’s blatant disregard of U.S. District Judge James Boasberg's order is “sufficient to conclude” that there is probable cause for criminal contempt, Boasberg wrote. He added that none of the government’s explanations to date have been satisfactory.

More of this, please!

When does the Constitutional Crisis start? Rosen defined a constitutional crisis as: “The president ignoring an unambiguous order of the U.S. Supreme Court.” www.rutgers.edu/news/are-we-...

Heading out to meet some new friends!

Um, what are we doing?

Seems to be a fairly comprehensive laundry list for cleaning.

Post the first video game you ever played! It was this, or pong (I'm not sure which came first for me)

Dear Big Law. This is how it is done. Bravo, Jenner and Block! Don’t you other firms ever watch those superhero movies? The selfish, greedy cowards always finished last! 👊🇺🇸🔥

Note to editors and producers: If an executive order demands action that is illegal or outside of the president’s authority, then you should not describe it as ordering something. You should say it seeks to achieve some outcome and then note it is illegal or beyond the power of the president.

People respond to “call your Senator” with “but mine are both Republicans.” Precisely. The only way anything will change is with PRESSURE. Signalgate is a serious breach & display of lying & incompetence at the highest levels. Call them! 202-224-3121 www.armed-services.senate.gov/about/member...
