Big Balls’s past gets more scrutiny — including the internship where he was terminated. “You’re willing to risk our entire network to a 17-year-old?” one frustrated executive asked the company’s CEO in 2022. “Are you for real right now?” @cnn.com www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

From the get go of the second Trump administration, it was clear that the president would try to pass a bunch of executive orders without any clear indication that he, or his trusted advisors, actually knew if it was legal. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/wha...

Remarkable: Trump's own pollster just found that in swing House districts, Dems lead by 5 points and voters want tax policy to prioritize working people, per Politico. Yet GOP is about to brutally slash the safety net and give the rich huge tax cuts! New piece: newrepublic.com/article/1918...

Trump could never in a billion years hold a cabinet position — yet somehow the most unqualified, uneducated, narcissistic, adjudicated, rapist, and 34x convicted felon was elected president.

Trump benefits from the bully pulpit of the presidency, a legislative branch that has contracted out all of its autonomy, and Elon’s unlimited funding—but if he loses popular support, none of those things will matter. And we’re already seeing the tide turn. McCormick’s district (below) is R+22.

Donald Trump’s firing of military leaders — four-star General Brown and four-star Admiral Franchetti — along with top legal officers is a betrayal of legions of first rate service members who dedicate their lives to our nation’s defense. This is a growing national security risk.

“We had to erase trans people or we couldn’t get our federal funding” Fuck the federal funding. You fight, you sue, you do not become complicit in our mass erasure. We are all in this together, and we all go down together. I will not allow us to be jettisoned or erased.
