"The goalposts for DOGE have silently moved from finding fraud and corruption to simply pointing out and cancelling government programs that Trump and Republicans simply don’t support." -- @justinglawe.bsky.social

So…a random thought. If you have people helping care for elderly parents who can’t care for themselves…check in more than you think you should. Something really really bad might have just happened…I wish it on no one.

This is insane. If you wonder why some of us think the rule of law is about to fall, it's this. The U.S. Attorney for DC is not "President Trump's lawyer" and its job is not to "protect his leadership" nor prosecute people who "refuse to put America first".

Kibbutz Nir Oz has announced that Shiri Bibas was murdered in Gaza captivity. The tragic news comes amid revelations that Hamas terrorists murdered the Bibas children—an infant and a child—in cold blood with their bare hands. Hamas must be brought to justice for crimes against humanity.

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.

Well, @alivitali.bsky.social asked why I'm up @waytooearly.bsky.social. I'm watching live feed of the #Hostage release in #Israel. I have no word for what I feel. Rage pales against this.

How Hitler seized power: 1. Create a crisis. 2. Demonize opponents. 3. Declare a state of emergency. 4. Undermine elections. 5. Make the rule of law irrelevant. 6. Rule by decree. If America falls it will be because of the people who didn’t pay attention.

Here we go: The Acting Solicitor General has asked #SCOTUS to immediately freeze (and vacate) the district court order that had temporarily reinstated Hampton Dellinger atop DOJ’s Office of Special Counsel: utexas.box.com/s/h0m91y7nes... I’ll have much more on this in tomorrow’s “One First.”

It’s quite clear by now that the answer to “why is the Trump administration doing x terrible thing?” is that they are trying to dismantle America and destabilize the entire world.

A huge decision from Judge Amir Ali, meticulously reasoned and utterly scathing, finding that Trump’s foreign aid freeze is almost certainly an illegal and arbitrary abuse of power. He orders the immediate restoration of all international assistance. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

"If Trump is denying access to outlets that refuse to lick his boots, then any media outlet that has access is compromised. Journalists who want to be worthy of the name have a moral obligation to follow the AP’s example in enraging the toddler in chief."

BIG NEWS: We're holding DOGE accountable. It's not "efficient" to allow Elon Musk's operatives to mess with the systems that send Social Security checks or pay for your mom’s doctor through Medicare. It's dangerous for the economy and a breach of privacy for millions of Americans.

Everyone have a good weekend? Okay, let's get back in it. Choose one place for your focus this week, one issue on the laundry list of horrors where you can do something. Then figure out how, and find people. It can be big or small (write a letter, make a call, organize a protest, offer shelter)
