I just don’t see how an Executive Order saying Mike Love was the real genius in the Beach Boys could be legally binding

It has been a long and grueling week. Thank you to everyone who offered kind words of support. If you want to follow everything happening to democracy in court, while also supporting pro-democracy independent media, please sign up for Democracy Docket. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

NEW: Elon Musk’s team has descended on an already understaffed Social Security Administration, which now faces further workforce cuts and closures of vital local offices. The consequences could be significant for millions of the most vulnerable Americans.

Elon Musk's private security detail has been deputized as Federal Marshalls and can carry firearms on Federal property. What could possibly go wrong? www.cnn.com/2025/02/20/p...

A federal judge has ruled that the Trump admin has not fully complied with his court order pausing the freezing of foreign assistance grants and contracts. U.S. District Judge Amir Ali: "To the extent Defendants have continued the blanket suspension, they are ordered to immediately cease it."

Trolling has gone from an occasionally used tool on the right to a unifying touchstone of an entire political faction. "Call it a coalition of the crass," writes @alibreland.bsky.social.

"No matter DOGE’s goal, putting so much information in one place and under the control of a small group of people with little government experience has raised substantial security concerns," Matteo Wong writes in the Atlantic Intelligence newsletter:

OMG! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣👇

AOC: “Elon Musk is not going after efficiency — he is trying to gut everything good in 🇺🇸 for his own private profit… America is not for sale.” Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGXObpu...

Regardless of how much coverage it gets, Trump aiming to install a military command that places loyalty to him above loyalty to the constitution needs to be a much bigger story.

"Six weeks ago, we had the strongest economy, employment, and stock market in history. ..All gone in 30 days."

This would be completely illegal. But you wouldn’t know that from reading this post, the headline, or the lede. Unbelievably bad.

Precisely what we warned about when the emails first went out.

Bro is tripping balls.

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

BREAKING: USAID contractors/aid recipients say Secretary Rubio and USAID leader Peter Marocco should be held in civil contempt for violating a court order to lift spending freeze.

Here's a script for calling about virtually any Trump nominee: "This person seems like a complete fuckup, and when they inevitably fuck up so bad that lots of people die, we're going to hold the people who put them in power responsible for that fuck up."

It’s going to hurt people on those benefits. Older people Disabled people. He thinks you won’t fight him. Will you?

Could someone place an order for 100 more Jasmine Crocketts for overnight delivery to the Democratic Party thx in advance

US Attorney Denise Cheung resigned because she refused to illegally freeze assets. That this admin is illegally freezing assets is nuts! Think about how dangerous this is. Will your assets be next? This happened to my dad's family in Argentina. We are all in danger! www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

USDA says it accidentally fired officials working on bird flu and is trying to rehire them In a statement, an Agriculture Department spokesperson told NBC News that officials are "working to swiftly rectify the situation." www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

REPOST if you stand with AOC!

Marco Rubio's collaboration with Russia's Sergei Lavrov and Putin is one of the most disgusting acts of betrayal to democracy and our nation. Rubio has secured his place in history of infamy.

MARCO RUBIO IN 2017: "Foreign Aid is not charity. We must make sure it is well spent, but it is less than 1% of budget & critical to our national security.” MARCO RUBIO IN 2025: "USAID is a global charity."

This should concern you more than any executive order so far. www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/fe...

He is firing FAA workers by the hundreds and he knows he is going to end up killing a lot of people so we get this tweet and that covers everything apparently

Americans have the right to vote and have a say who our elected leaders are. But MAGA Rs want to pass The SAVE Act which would make it harder for millions of Americans to cast a ballot, including women who changed their name after marriage. Call your MOC and tell them to vote No!
