@jonathanpienews.bsky.social always spot-on. x.com/krassenstein...

Time to ramp up stories about the real people, not numbers, hurt by DOGE through layoffs, firings, and eviscerations of agencies and programs.

Today I’m really circling back hard to that pee tape thing.

Main political lesson of our times; character supersedes everything. Political affiliation, ideology, issue identification, everything.

Bernie Sanders: "We're not only dealing with a move toward authoritarianism, we're dealing with what is new to America -- politicians have always lied, nothing new about that. But the level that we're seeing right now. The big lie, over and over again ... "

It’s not ignorance. It’s knowing alliance with Putin and the League of Dictators (Dicks for short) against democracies and freedom loving people. And it portends how he would like to remake America.

To our everlasting shame, Trump and Putin are eagerly passing around the carving knife to colonize and eviscerate Ukraine.

George Washington in 1796 on rising lawless and factionalism: “cunning, ambitious and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.”

Just a coincidence.

Daring anyone to stop him. Above the law. Emboldened by SCOTUS ruling.

I’m with him @zelenskyyvolodymyr.bsky.social

This:

Toddlers going in just to break things. On order from the Chief Toddler. Incompetence, ignorance, and corruption. Who could have foreseen this?!! www.cnn.com/2025/02/14/c...

Bove ended up signing the request to Judge Ho to dismiss the charges. Good! Let him stand in front of the judge to justify it. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

The good thing about the valiant stands of SDNY lawyers and the response to them by DOJ Mandarins, is that we won’t have to quibble about whether Bondi et al. will be corrupt. She is corrupt as fuck as will be her underlings. Critical part of the wrecking ball aimed at democracy.

Remember, Bove, Bondi, Vance, the whole bunch are counting on their dismantling of democracy to succeed so they will never be held to account.

One of the truly great resignation letters of all time. Emil Bove is engaging in unethical and likely even criminal conduct at the highest levels of DOJ. This is a time for all men and women of principle to stand up while so many in the GOP remain silent. AUSA Scotten is a hero.
