BREAKING — States attorneys general lead by @newyorkstateag.bsky.social were just granted a preliminary injunction in their case against DOGE. The team cannot access Treasury Department payment systems or data while the lawsuit proceeds. Major.

Strong statement by retired Rear Admiral Mike Smith, President of NSL4A: "National Security Leaders for America strongly condemns the removal of senior military officers without just cause. ... Removing experienced leaders with meritorious records weakens the force and emboldens America’s enemies."

Listen to @radiofreetom.bsky.social! "Now that Trump has captured the intelligence services, the Justice Department, and the FBI, the military is the last piece he needs to establish the foundations for authoritarian control of the U.S. government."

We are the bad guy.

@victoryrenfrew.bsky.social TRUMP THREATENS TO CUT OFF STARLINK TO UKRAINE

#Krasov

it all makes sense now #ARRESTtheMFTRAITOR

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

🚨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.

Our nation is sick—and dying

Take a moment to process this: Musk has had his private thugs—who aren’t public servants and don’t work for the government and operate under no known standard of conduct—as _federal law enforcement agents_. When a CPAC host told him his army of security is “enormous,” he replied it should be bigger.

Elon Musk’s AI said he and Trump deserve the death penalty

More corruption. The number of ways Elon Musk will use his government position to enrich himself and his companies may—and I say this advisively—outstrip the number of ways we saw this from Donald Trump by an order of magnitude like 5x or 10x. This is the most corrupt government in American history.

If you want to read the book apparently all the New York Times tech reporters are talking about today—by way of asking, “Seth Abramson wrote a book?” and “What's Google?” and “Can I learn about what books authors wrote using the Google?”—it’s below. (Odd how many NYT employees hate NYT bestsellers.)

This made me so angry I have to not actually say what it made me think.

This is extremely scary and extremely dangerous 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

This will go down as the Friday Night Massacre of the Military. First the Chairman of the JCS and now Adm. Franchetti, the first woman to become a member of the JCS. Next up the Air Force’s No. 2 officer & the top JAGs for each service. Martial law is coming. breakingdefense.com/2025/02/trum...

Right

Raskin: "It's becoming obvious to the American people that Elon Musk and Donald Trump are not opponents of corruption, they are agents of corruption."

It’s 5 p.m. on Friday, which means it’s time to ask WHO IS THE ADMINISTRATOR OF DOGE????????????????????????

The Execution of the Doge, by Delacroix, 1825. He was beheaded for attempting a coup d'etat. Apropos of, you know, absolutely nothing at all.

Todd Blanche, Trump’s criminal defense lawyer, promised he would follow the advice of career ethics officials at the Department of Justice. Then they fired the career ethics officials. Piece by piece they are destroying the Justice Dept. And any hope of justice along with it.

Mark my words—He is going to try to shut down mail-in voting. When he does, we will sue and we will win. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

And now we are going to have #Texas #Maga residents crossing into #Mexico everyday to smuggle a couple dozen #eggs into #America all shoved up their ass & they will sell them on the new #American #eggblackmarket #Resist

Well, turns out there’s another layer to his dubious background. According to independent journalist Jacob Silverman, Coristine is the grandson of Valery Martynov, a former KGB spy. Per Silverman’s research, Martynov was an officer in the technical espionage division… gizmodo.com/doge-staffer...

Exactly
