NEW: A regional FEMA chief of staff took Elon Musk's Fork in the Road offer. He has proof of receipt. But they didn't honor it. Instead, they fired him 13 days later. Now, this retired Navy captain is speaking out. www.thebulwark.com/p/musk-doge-...

In addition to Congress being the place that makes the laws, pretty key thing, the constitution explicitly says Congress gets to create the postal system. It’s not left implied that that comes under law making generally. The President has no power to unilaterally abolish it and move it to commerce.

I feel so sick. Enough with the lies, enough with the games. They know exactly what they're doing. This is a neo-Nazi movement. Proudly so. The only reason they've kept it coded up until now was to take advantage of those who didn't want to believe it. No more looking away. Face up to what it is.

🚨The Trump admin is moving to terminate Temporary Protected Status for half a million Haitians in the United States, seemingly illegally moving up the expiration date from next February to August of this year. In a single day, 500,000 people could lose work authorization and deportation protections.

Even Alfred Sykes thinks Carr has crossed the line on FCC content regulation. I know that's some nerd level shit, but until Carr, no one had been a more aggressive content regulator than Sykes. And its not even close. www.thewrap.com/3-former-fcc...

Why are guys still saying shit like this? Yes what the president says matters actually, we're going to take it seriously, and I'd prefer to do so without your scolding

Your regular reminder that §230 protects YOU, the person reading this post, from being sued for reposting things just as much as it protects "Big Tech" from things that still wouldn't be a viable cause of action because your problem is not with §230, it's with the first amendment

With this EO, Trump is explicitly seizing control of agencies meant to operate free from presidential interference, such as the FCC, FTC, FEC and financial regulators. Now any new regulations must go through the White House. Monumental change here. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Do people really not understand how journalism works? This is obviously not like a “answer me yes or no” question, it’s an invitation to tell your stories to use as cases to show this is happening and how it’s affecting people. There’s plenty to criticize in journalism but this is so stupid

Hundreds of asylum seekers from around the globe are being trapped by the US in a Panama hotel where they'll eventually be sent to a camp in the jungle. One Chinese man said “I thought: America is a free country with respect for human rights. I had no idea it was like a dictatorship.”

On the left: President Trump: "I am pleased to announce that the Great Elon Musk ... will lead the Department of Government Efficiency ('DOGE")" On the right: Government declaration (by Joshua Fisher) submitted to Judge Chutkan stating Elon Musk is not the leader of DOGE

Just to be clear, because I don’t think the Post story highlights it enough: This was Trump’s day-one pick to lead the Social Security Admin until his nominee got confirmed who RESIGNED a career job rather than do what Musk’s DOGE team wants. This is Treasury (DOGE) and DOJ (Adams) all over again.

At the request of the Trump Admin, the Ntl Park Service removed references to trans people in this essay w/o consulting the writer, historian @wendylrouse.bsky.social. Read it here as Prof Rouse intended (and as the NPS published/maintained it until now). 🗃️ drive.google.com/file/d/1p-rQ...
