NEW: Government officials insist that neither DOGE nor Musk have any real decision-making authority—they merely “advise” or “consult.” But internal DOJ emails provide the most compelling evidence yet that DOGE is not simply advising—it’s calling the shots. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/on-d...

A CNN host asked these creeps: “Does it matter to you all who has more babies in America, or is this a universal thing for you?" Eventually the husband came out and said yeah it does. He doesn't support possible "baby bonuses" for low-income people because they are "a drain on tax system"

If you live in Arkansas: and your house was destroyed, and your neighbor was killed, and Trump denied your ignorant governor resources to help your state, and you don’t know how you’ll survive, and now, for the first time, you’re regretting voting for Trump… Good. Let that sink in.

Much, much, much worse than Watergate. Both on the surface, and because the context of the general attack on the Constitution matters to assessing each part. (Nixon's attack on the Constitution was much less broad than even first-term Trump's, let alone the current situation).

People sometimes ask "what are the crimes" and let me tell y'all, as a lawyer, that intentionally copying, altering, destroying, or disrupting government computer systems is super-duper illegal if you don't have a spotless paper trail authorizing it, which none of these DOGE people do.

The crash in container ships arriving at the Port of Los Angeles (busiest in US) depicted in this graph should hit in a few weeks, which means lost business for truckers and probably some empty shelves in stores. Unless something big changes, the problems should become more apparent in the summer.

I’d chalk it up as one of the worst failures of mainstream political news in the 2020 election: treating Trump’s “disavowals” of Project 2025 like there was any reason to think the conservative movement’s big money project for that year was suddenly just not going to happen because he lied about it.

The Trump administration is ending federal civil rights enforcement, including in higher education. The regulations being repealed here are the basis for the withdrawn science funding at Columbia & Harvard. They specifically accused them of Title VI violations. 🧪 www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Trump’s halting of data collection could have effects that last far beyond his time in office. Even if a future administration seeks to resurrect some of the curtailed efforts, the 2025-29 hiatus will make trends harder to identify and understand.

Toddlers are representing themselves in immigration court. The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), passed in 1952 & upheld in 2018, says these children don’t have the right to an attorney. This administration is taking advantage of this. This law must be changed. #MomSky #Voices4Victory

OK, this is a good report on what is happening, factually, but I want to note some concerns and questions: First, I get calling this "Trump's" agency b/c people want Trump in the headline and that's how Trump thinks of it, but this is about the EEOC, which is supposed to be an independent agency.

I am livid. This happened very literally in an area I know well, near where my kids go to school. And it is absolutely indistinguishable from a kidnapping by a criminal gang. We need to identify that asshole in the ponytail. Figure out who the hell these people are. Stop this now.

Dear Dems: Polling shows only generalized approval of Trump on immigration, but broad opposition to the lawless specifics. If you don't engage on Abrego Garcia and other illegal kidnappings, you only help Trump subsume all that under "keeping out illegals." newrepublic.com/article/1941...
