The big law firms who are folding to this blatantly unconstitutional nonsense should be ashamed of themselves. They all took an oath too.

what replaces due process under fascism is the assurance of protection for favored groups. even though it’s precarious, a lot of people feel just as protected under that framework as they do under one with due process

Note to editors and producers: If an executive order demands action that is illegal or outside of the president’s authority, then you should not describe it as ordering something. You should say it seeks to achieve some outcome and then note it is illegal or beyond the power of the president.

Uh guys? NBC just found out a DHS staffer accidentally added a journalist to an email thread about an ICE raid in Denver. Yeah, a completely separate incident. THAT staffer is being punished — so why aren’t Hegseth & Waltz???

Earlier this month, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said the federal government was delivering vitamin A to measles-stricken communities in Texas. Those doses never arrived, the state's public-health department told Nicholas Florko —because doctors don't want them.

Oligarchs buying elections with million dollar giveaways. Hopefully people in Wisconsin won’t allow the South African to purchase a seat on your Supreme Court just like he bought the US federal government.

Really feel like I’m losing my mind: government OBVIOUSLY cannot punish an individual law firm for hiring someone it disfavors! It’s ludicrously unconstitutional and I feel like without a day of law school I could argue the case. And yet the best paid lawyers in the country are folding?

Proud of journalists & outlets still standing up to power in the face of threats while Big Law, corporations, and other institutions capitulate: Wired, Mother Jones, Rolling Stone, Miami Herald, Techdirt, Marisa Kabas, the Unpoulist, ProPublica, MSNBC. (Feel free to add others in replies)

Right-wing YouTuber Tim Pool has made it to the White House pool — someone from his “Timcast” channel will be part of today’s pool duty covering the president. Last year, DOJ revealed Pool was receiving millions of dollars from the Russian gov. Pool says he didn’t know where it was coming from.

Hillary Clinton in a new NYT op-ed: “As a businessman, he bankrupted his Atlantic City casinos. Now he’s gambling with the national security of the United States. If this continues, a group chat foul will be the least of our concerns, and all the fist and flag emojis in the world won’t save us.” 🍿

Once again, as cynical as people were about things, if you had said a year ago that Trump would simply hire Elon Musk to dismantle the federal government and destroy Social Security through an agency called DOGE, you would have been put in a padded room.

In Signalgate, Trumpworld is demonstrating exactly what's wrong with authoritarian populism: Refusal to admit error, walling out of constructive criticism, the cult-like defense of the leader at all costs. Transcript of discussion w/ @zackbeauchamp.bsky.social: newrepublic.com/article/1932...

What people in every part of higher education need to understand is that Republicans now want to do to universities what they’ve tried to do to labor unions: erase them from the institutional landscape. The question is how much you want to collaborate in your own destruction.

No matter your station in life, there is astoundingly little separating you from those men in that cage behind Kristi Noem. No charges, no attorneys, no hearings, no trial. Just conjecture and brute force could be enough to justify completely dehumanizing you, too.

I said this on the other site, but I think the media needs to stop using the word “arrested” if a person hasn’t committed any crimes, hasn’t been read Miranda rights, hasn’t been formally charged with anything and their family and lawyer doesn’t know where they are. It’s kidnapping. It’s abduction.

RFK Jr. is not wrong. We are failing to keep our communities healthy. This message resonates with many. But I have serious concerns about his ability and expertise to lead such a sweeping overhaul of the HHS workforce. We need accountability, not just rhetoric.

This is not just a reorganization of HHS. It's also a slashing of the federal workforce, which will ultimately affect government services and lead to delays in getting help for both the pubic and health care providers. www.hhs.gov/about/news/h...
