Another day (not) at the office.

Trump - with his devotion to Putin, abandonment of Ukraine, and lies about history- is the antithesis of everything Ronald Reagan stood for. He is aligning America with the enemies of the very freedom that generations have fought and died to defend.

The National Sheriffs Association and its members are poised to assist the Trump administration in its most illegal and inhumane promises – including “mass deportation," silencing dissent and law enforcement using discretion without limits.

This is what oligarchy looks like.

@lizcheney.bsky.social you warned your fellow Republicans that all of this would happen. It’s on them!

Mr. Patel has been directly involved in secretly orchestrating a purge of career officials at the FBI. Emil Bove, then acting No. 2 at the Justice Department, fired career civil servants solely at the request of a private citizen.

Sometimes I wish people who voted for Trump were smart enough to pick up NY Times, read the articles and fully understand what is going on. If they could they’d be freaking out. Most of ‘em will never see peace or prosperity again. They’re props now. Human confetti. A flash of red to make him smile.

I have no trust in Eric Adams. None.

I'm a reporter at NBC News and I'm interested in speaking with people who are familiar with the specific technical details of onboarding DOGE staff at the federal agency level — USAID or CFPB or wherever. You can reach me on Signal at: davidingram.77. I can honor requests for anonymity.

BREAKING: A staffer for Elon Musk’s DOGE, who was granted access to U.S. Treasury payment systems, resigned after a now-deleted social media account surfaced that promoted racism and eugenics, WSJ reports. “You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity,” the account wrote on X in September

James Madison wrote of the necessity of the separation of powers: “The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive & judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elected, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.”

At this point, we don’t know who now has the nuclear codes

All true. Even were it not, one could argue that, given the authority Musk is exercising, and his lack of accountability to anyone (other than perhaps Trump), he is serving as a principal executive officer under the Appointments Clause, and is acting unlawfully unless confirmed by the Senate.

Fyi, Ghislaine Maxwell helped Musk connect with the much younger British actress he married a couple of times. If you want to go after Elon dig into his Epstein ties, he’s super sensitive about them. Ditto Trump for that matter but I guess that ship has sailed (thanks Bill Barr).

We are all watching a coup unfold and what can we do without the the help of DOJ? Who do we turn to when there is no one to enforce court orders?

He "can't" or "doesn't want to" talk about his contact with just one foreign leader: DT: We are having discussions Q: Ongoing? DT: Already talking, yes. Q: So you've already spoken to Putin? DT: I don't want to say that Q: Is there a reason you don't want to? DT: Well I just don't want to say that

Paramount is openly considering what is essentially bribery

A woman who worked with the anti-vaccine nonprofit run by RFK Jr. accused him of sexual misconduct and was paid a nearly $1 million settlement as part of a nondisclosure agreement in late 2020, Mediaite reports. www.mediaite.com/politics/exc...

“Forget the myths the media's created about the White House. The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.”

@secrubio.bsky.social Defend our Constitution! Fight Musk and defend our Constitution!!

This is a coup in not so slow motion.

“The world’s richest man has declared war on the federal government and, in a matter of days, has moved to slash its size and reach, while gaining access to some of its most sensitive secrets” www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Knowing the names of the an unelected oligarch’s underlings who are destroying the government from within is a crime now, apparently.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Are there any anti Musk protests scheduled in New York City?

This is very good

Dear Democratic Leaders: here’s a free idea, send members of congress into the buildings where Elons people are and see what they’re doing. Dare them to stop you. Do something
