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.

WATCH: “You just said something that’s not true — that tens of millions of dead people are on that list… but the same report you cited said almost none of them have received Social security.” Trump’s Press Sec hides behind saying they “suspect” it, then runs away 🤔

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.

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

The revamped "CBS Evening News" is tanking in the ratings, with the show down last week a staggering 24% year over year in the key 25-54 demo. One veteran TV news exec assessed the situation to me: "I would say it's a five-alarm fire." More in @status.news: www.status.news/p/cbs-evenin...

Glad someone wrote this (and glad it's Oliver, who's the best). One of my ways to see what non-news junkies are seeing is watching the 7 pm news shows, seeing what made it onto which block. And CBS took itself out of the game.

I'm digging down details on a few stories, but I'm very interested in hearing from any federal employees or contractors: * who are just seeing DOGE folks coming into your agencies now * about what has happened in the wake of a DOGE bomb: rehires, canceled programs, big changes, etc. Signal: crg.32

Garcia: The fact that the Trump DOJ now wants to silence members of Congress because we’re actually willing to take on Elon Musk is quite dangerous. It’s incredibly disturbing. But we’re not going to be silenced. We’ve got to push back.

@raskin.house.gov gives advice to fired federal workers: "Federal workers need to stay in very close touch with their unions and with the litigation that's going on, because we're wining in almost every case. In more than a dozen cases, there have been TROs and PIs issued against the Trump admin."

How much is Congress cutting from their $6.5 billion/year budget? Don’t you think congress can operate on say, maybe, $5 Billion? And each congressman has 18 staff, they could operate on say, 14? What about the White House?

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen. 1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.

What I just witnessed DOGE do made me feel like I was going insane, and I worry that’s the intention. Earlier today, many ppl began pointing out that while DOGE said it canceled an $8b contract, it was actually only worth $8m
