Worldwide, 1 billion suffer from anxiety, 300 million are affected by depression, 60 million suffer from bipolar affective disorder, about 21 million are affected by severe psychoses, and 50 million people have dementia (to grow to 152 million in 2050): bit.ly/2DRXBQV

Yesterday, Trump targeted me at a speech be the Department of Justice. If he thinks it will cause me to back down he is wrong. My law firm is currently litigating 46 pro-democracy cases in 21 states, with more to come. We are not done fighting and we are not done winning.

The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money. He was not dead.

ICE stripped a German green card holder naked, drove him from Boston to Vermont to Rhode Island, put him in a cold shower, deprived him of medication, sleep and food until he collapsed. No one knows why he was detained.

Judge Boasberg is a hero.

The eventual fate of the GOP

@therickwilson.bsky.social has an urgent message for the Dems: SHUT IT DOWN! Watch:

AOC on senate Dems caving and backing the CR: “A wide sense of betrayal.”

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

I’ve always been skeptical of folks who say Trump is a literal ‘Russian asset’ or that Moscow has ‘kompromat’ on him, and the Russia obsession hurt the Dems in term one… but… how does anyone explain this? Justify this? How? t.co/ie1nWaL8ot

crazy how this keeps happening!!

It would be far less time-consuming to just document when he tells the truth. shorturl.at/tohgb

Something refreshing to hear: in a new poll Americans oppose Trump’s pardoning of violent January 6th insurrectionists by 83-14. Credit: Aaron Blake from WaPo

Dark Pence is back.

Media are missing this if they don't include it. Yes, Judge Chutkan just denied temporary restraining order in New Mexico v Musk. But judge signals plaintiffs have the better argument when this reaches the merits: That Elon Musk is exercising power in violation of Appointments Clause. ⬇️Key para⬇️

Today Judge Chutkan denied a motion for a temporary restraining order by 14 state AGs who are seeking to prevent Elon Musk and DOGE from accessing agency data, cancelling government contracts, and making personnel decisions.

BREAKING: Ranking Member Raskin demands Attorney General Bondi halt illegal intimidation campaign targeting the DOJ’s Public Integrity Office.

READ Danielle Sassoon's letter to AG Pam Bondi, via @nytimes.com: "Rather than be rewarded, Adams's advocacy should be called out for what it is: an improper offer of immigration enforcement assistance in exchange for a dismissal of his case." static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...

...they're eating the protections for the people who live there.

This one weird trick could save the American people $8 million a day in perpetuity: cancel all government contracts with Elon Musk

This says it all

Trump is granting military contractor Elon Musk access to Pentagon systems. What could go wrong?

NEW: Kash Patel was paid $25,000 by a Kremlin-linked filmmaker to promote anti-western propaganda. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Can we dispense with this “unfounded claims” shit finally? He lies, pathologically. Period.

Black excellence: Twice as qualified, half as respected, and still passed over or labeled as a ‘DEI hire.’ Black folks have always known this because we’ve seen it happen to our own family members. I know I have.

SCOOP: Kash Patel took $25,000 from a production company with ties to Russia propaganda activity to appear in an anti-FBI docuseries. He did not respond to questions about this. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Dear @Doge If there is nothing to hide. Hide nothing

The real scam: making you fear the “the other” while the rich rob you blind. I wish every American understood this.

BREAKING: Trump has signed an executive order creating a Sovereign Wealth Fund- popular with Middle East monarchies - so the U.S. can buy TikTok. That’s state-run media, folks. www.reuters.com/markets/weal...

CNBC: "Putin: Trump will ‘restore order’ Russian President Vladimir Putin praised President Trump on Sunday, saying his second administration would “restore order” in Europe. “I assure you: Trump, with his character, with his persistence, he will restore order there quite quickly.

Let’s go FBI agents. You know what to do. They can’t fire all of you!

Pay attention to all of the voices on the right insulting NATO. This is a trial balloon for Trump pulling out.

Federal government employees The core principles—such as protection from unjust dismissal, merit-based hiring, and rights to due process—are embedded in laws like the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 and Title 5 of the U.S. Code, which cannot be easily reversed by executive action alone.

Trump and his lackeys want to divide us. They want white people to blame Black and Latino people for every tragedy. And they want Black and Latino people to react not only with hurt but with justifiable anger. We must not let them win.

The highest-ranking career official at the Treasury Department is departing after a clash with allies of Elon Musk over access to sensitive payment systems. David A. Lebryk has served in nonpolitical roles at Treasury for several decades. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
