CNN reports US Marshals Service has been ordered to deputize members of Elon Musk’s private security detail, despite not being trained or screened for the job.As a result of this unprecedented move, Musk’s security guards now have the right to carry weapons on federal property and federal buildings.

Since the CDC is compromised right now, this is a good time to tap into other reliable information sources for public health. CIDRAP, at the University of Minnesota, has always been an excellent source of data on infectious outbreaks in the US and worldwide. #publichealth #infectiousdisease #H5N1

On this week's Coffee Klatch, we discuss Trump's latest power grabs, the backlash to DOGE's mass firings, and how Democrats should give voice to the public's anger. Plus, former CFPB Director Rohit Chopra joins us to discuss DOGE's attack on the Bureau.

The King and I: With @deepakguptalaw.bsky.social on challenging monarchic theories of power in federal court

“RESIST. DO NOT COMPLY WITH THEIR ILLEGAL MANDATES.”Judge Ortiz emailed her EEOC colleagues after the anti-trans EO. She told me, “The unknown was not as scary as being complicit and not speaking up. I can exist on cornflakes and community at the end of the day if it means that my soul is intact.”

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

The wheels are get wobbly on the Trump bus. His slash-and-burn approach to governing is sending poll numbers south.

This letter is a remarkable combination of stupid and ominous.

NEWS: Federal judge blocks parts of two of Trump’s anti-diversity executive orders, finding that some provisions violate the First Amendment and are unconstitutionally vague. * preliminary injunction: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... * opinion: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I’m shocked.

We just won a court order stopping DOGE and unauthorized, unelected, and unvetted individuals like Elon Musk from accessing people's private data and blocking federal funds. We will keep fighting to protect all Americans from this administration’s destruction.

Usually when states go to court alleging federal coercion in violation of the 10th Amendment there is not a literal video of the President doing it.

What fucking ignorant moron at the Journal wrote this subhead

BREAKING: Donald Trump fired Joint Chiefs Chairman Charles Q. Brown via a Truth Social post, calling him a “fine gentleman” and an “outstanding leader” while signaling more firings ahead. He announced plans to nominate Air Force Lt. Gen. John Dan “Razin” Caine as Brown’s replacement.

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

A reminder for Republicans.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett predicts Trump's approval ratings will keep going down: "We've gotta do better at education. People don't understand. But you will understand when those hospitals in rural America start closing down even more.

“MAGA stands for trying to erase trans people from existence. MAGA stands for resegregation and racism. MAGA stands for censorship and book bans. MAGA stands for firing air traffic controllers while planes are crashing. MAGA stands for firing the people overseeing our nuclear arsenal.

This is a solidly red district in Georgia. Republicans are really starting to feel the pressure — let’s keep turning up the heat. Your representatives are back home for congressional recess and we’ve got events planned around the country (including Tesla dealerships). LFG: indivisible.org/muskorus
