Trump’s purge is a major step toward creating an officer corps personally loyal to him. Read @radiofreetom.bsky.social: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

"The larger dynamic is that Trump isn’t merely pushing to redefine the boundaries of the law or even the Constitution," Jonathan Chait writes. "He is rejecting the principle that the law constrains him at all."

Things you should know!

ProPublica has released another study related to the effects of abortion bans in the U.S., this time showing a spike in sepsis cases in Texas following the implementation of that state's "heartbeat" abortion ban in 2021.

My laptop has done an update, and now Word is forcing Copilot on me, and I am livid. I want it to go away. It's not *enabled*, but I have to see the icon hovering on the side of the page, begging to be used. The tips and tricks for removing Copilot aren't working. @microsoft.com, this is TRASH.

Jasmine Crockett is shredding this solo. But it’s past time for the rhythm section to enter this song already.

The Supreme Court, in its first ruling on President Trump’s use of executive power during his second term, decided that he cannot, for now, dismiss the government lawyer leading the watchdog agency responsible for protecting whistle-blowers.

General Brown is a brilliant, amazing leader. I worked at the Air Staff for three years and it was known that he read everything the staff wrote for him. He believes if an analyst took the time to write it, it’s his responsibility to read it. Very few generals do this.

This is unheard of in American history. Absolutely insane in peace time.

Next year we will be commemorating the 250th anniversary of the founding of our nation, when we declared our independence from a king. “The Royal Brute of Great Britain” Never forget that.

NY Gov. Kathy Hochul’s response: “We are a nation of laws, not ruled by a king. The MTA has initiated legal proceedings in the Southern District of New York to preserve this critical program. We’ll see you in court.”

The waste is coming from the White House. 👇

this is *before* most of the negative effects of all of this lawless horseshit have been felt.

We want to hear from federal employees based in New England who have left their jobs since the beginning of the Trump administration. Share your story in the survey below.

it's absolutely wild to shitpost about yourself being a king of a country whose entire foundational story of itself is centered on overthrowing the last person who deigned to call himself king on these shores

they’re determined to touch the demon core, they can’t resist it’s pull

this article's remarkably straightforward about what's going on here and doesn't pull punches, which is an encouraging development.

Dark Pence is back.

You had it right the first time.

Whitehouse: "Remember Trump-Russia? The Mueller report said there was Trump-Russia. The bipartisan Senate intelligence report said there was Trump-Russia. Repeated trials brought in evidence showing Trump-Russia. There was, is, and forever shall be Trump-Russia."

Elon Musk reposts image of ‘Birmingham hospital’ but it’s actually a Batman scene It's almost like he doesn't care about the truth or fact-checking... www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/elon-mu...

Duckworth: "He essentially just surrendered to Putin."

We found the real one!

@georgetakei.bsky.social Hey George. I think this is another one of those people need help moments like when Cruz went on a tropical vacation as people in Texas were freezing 🥶 without power and dangerously low temperatures. Talk to farmers about losing USAID $. Many are hurting so we will too 🌾.

Stand with science. Always.

“America’s foes are surely observing the chaos in Washington and looking for espionage opportunities. They will find them,” writes Kori Schake:

Our team reviewed the entire DOGE website. Nothing they have identified constitutes evidence of fraud or corruption—both of which are crimes. Feel free to audit us. The funds were allotted by Congress, and OIGs regularly reviewed expenditures for fraud.
