🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

👏 An 👏 EO 👏 isn't 👏 a 👏 law👏 it's 👏 an 👏 interpretation 👏

Is it too soon to talk about how folks (many times ⚪ folks) post clips of videos on Instagram with a side-by-side with them nodding? Drives me freaking nuts. Get your mug off of someone else's intellectual property. Nodding in a side-by-side adds literally *nothing*.

Dear business owners that voted for Trump, You could have had $50K in capital and a robust SBA. Instead, DOGE is cancelling all your government contracts and putting you out of business so he can have the contracts for himself.

Bingo

He should be our messenger.

Dark Pence is back.

Math is hard

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Trump keeps whining about the U.S.-Canada trade deal and sparked global chaos over it—but what’s rarely mentioned? He’s the one who negotiated it and spent his first term bragging about it.

You know who's *not* saying "it can't happen here"? Europe. Exceptionalism is the first play in the authoritarian handbook. Take it from an American. We thought ourselves exceptional, until we found out we're not only not exceptional, but also downright stupid.

It’s sad on the eve of Presidents Day it’s appropriate to have to post this.

It takes over 25 ¶¶ before WaPo explains why Trump is failing to meet the deportation numbers he promised: Stephen Miller lied about the number of criminal aliens in the US to fearmonger and get Trump elected. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

This is probably the most accurate take.

Literally

This is important. Going forward, remember this. This is why we don't negotiate with terrorists.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.
