He nails it.

Something that's maddening about the cases involving DOGE access to our most sensitive private data and the irreparable harm standard is that the ACCESS ITSELF is the irreparable harm, and some judges just aren't getting that. (Some are, e.g., storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...)

DOGE’s expenses have risen above 40 million, with weekly costs now exceeding 10 million. We will release an updated DOGE staff list soon.

We haven’t even spoken up about the funding cuts for #Medicare and #Medicaid. But first, we want to hear from you! What are your experiences w/ these systems? How can they improve? Is budget cutting major programs like these good or bad (obviously bad but why so for you personally)?

Did you know that Medicare does NOT pay for long-term care. NOPE. 2/3s of longterm care for your parents is paid by MEDICAID. If you want Medicaid cut, your parents wiil need to move into your house when they need long-term care & YOU will be providing it.

[email protected] - "Byline Times is receiving multiple DDOS attacks since publication of our story on Trump's recruitment by the KGB in 1987 from a credible senior KGB source. #USPol #Russia #Putin Trump #Krasnov bylinetimes.com/2025/02/21/d...

Every single thing that DonOld Trump aka Krasnov says is a projection of his own self loathing. The Kompromat that Russia has on him must be much worse than anyone can imagine.

www.dailykos.com/stories/2025... Trump’s recruitment by Russia disappeared from major news outlets without explanation or reduction. bombshell story about allegations by former Soviet Spy Chief Alnur Mussayev - the KGB recruited Donald Trump as a Soviet asset in 1987 under the code name “Krasnov.”.

Searched Krasnov. First one that came up? A Russian military leader. And nazi collaborator. Wonder where the code name for Trump came from… 🤔

Big Balls mom is a fucking Russian citizen? Born and raised in Russia?! Putin has sent #Kraznov $Trump a 3rd Gen agent? And Krasnov gives him control of the entire digital infrastructure? 🇷🇺 🇷🇺 🇷🇺 This is actually insane.

NEW — 19-year-old DOGE engineer Edward Coristine turns out to be the grandson of former KGB spy Valery Martynov, who played a role in a sprawling 1980s espionage saga. www.jacobsilverman.com/p/prominent-...

A third ex-KGB official from the former Soviet Union confirms that Donald Trump was recruited as an agent of Russia. This time it’s revealed that Trump’s codename was (is still perhaps) ‘Krasnov’. Krasnov Trump was recruited using flattery, Kompromat, & possibly via his Czech wife Ivana. #Krasnov

This fits the timeline perfectly. Agent Krasnov (Trump) began acting on behalf of the USSR immediately following his KGB paid trip to Russia. Trump’s NATO hostility and Russia relations trace back to 1987 thehill.com/opinion/nati...

We don't know whether Trump was recruited by Russia in 1987 and codenamed #Krasnov but it's hard to think things would have turned out the way they have if it wasn’t true.

DEI outpolling Congressional Democrats by a mile...

The reporters at Texas Observer have been doing incredible investigative work lately, the kind of work that places like the WaPo used to do with a much larger budget before it got bought up and then slowly hollowed out by a billionaire sycophant who'd rather go into space than live in a democracy.

That he shares an article with the headline "With Congress Pliant" is just beautiful.

To understand Trump's trajectory and the lack of prosecution, you need to understand the trajectory of Meyer Lansky. From THEY KNEW (2022):

"When the powerful want you to forget a conspiracy, what they want you to forget most are the victims. The victims are why the crime matters. To be human is to care about other people. To seek justice is to honor another's humanity." -- THEY KNEW (2022)

Both political parties and the FBI were long ago infiltrated by the "Russian mafia", which is actually a transnational crime syndicate in which the Kremlin is a key hub -- one with particular importance for Trump. Two former heads of the FBI went on to work for the Russian mafia.

"History was written by the winners, and the winners were assholes." --THEY KNEW (2022)

Kendzior wrote this in 2019

"In other countries, this would be called 'an authoritarian coup.' In America, mealy-mouthed officials call our transition into a mafia state 'deeply troubling' and do little to curb the damage." -- HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT (2020)

"Our boy can become president of the USA and we can engineer it. I will get all of Putin's team to buy in on this." -- email from Felix Sater to Michael Cohen about Donald Trump in 2015 -- HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT (2020) hidinginplainsightbook.com

"Trump may have been involved in an unparalleled and inexplicable pact with the US government to remain above the law, one that was likely buffered by criminal actors and hostile foreign states." On his missing taxes, from my book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT: bookshop.org/p/books/hidi...

When the wreckage and dust of what these people are doing to our country has settled and the people have finally had enough to throw these jackals out of office, we will never forget the people who enabled it, despite their protestations they weren’t willing accomplices. Never.

The Trump administration told Congress on Thursday that it believed President Trump had the constitutional power to summarily fire administrative law judges at will, despite a statute that protects such officials from being removed without a cause like misconduct.

There is a wave of anger building across the entire country. People are already becoming fed up with Trump and Musk. These algorithms can try to hide it all they want, but they won’t be able to avoid reality for long.

US consumer sentiment dropped more than expected in February to a 15-month low and inflation expectations rocketed as households worried that President Donald Trump's plans for steep and broad-based tariffs would eat into their purchasing power reut.rs/41gv4Aq

"This is something that does not belong to the president or the White House. It belongs to the American people.” www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Translation: That’s a nice country you’ve got there. Would be a shame if something happened to it.

Citizen pressure against Trump's cuts must be awesome if he's considering releasing this level of distraction only a month into office. Donald Trump's AG To Release Jeffrey Epstein List: 'A Lot of Documents' www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...

Patel: "Anyone that wishes to do harm to our way of life and our citizens, here and abroad, will face the full wrath of the DOJ & FBI. If you seek to hide in any corner of this country or planet, we will put on the world's largest manhunt & we will find you, & we will decide your end state. Not you"

There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.

BREAKING: USCP is arresting Enrique Tarrio for swiping his hand at a counterprotester who got in his face.

I attended a democratic fundraiser tonight where they sold raffle tickets for a dozen eggs… Genius.

Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.
