“In a dramatic reversal of [DOJ] policies, Trump loyalist Ed Martin said yesterday that when the department finds it does not have the grounds to charge political opponents with a crime, it will ‘name’ and ‘shame’ them, @hcrichardson.bsky.social

The vast majority of what he does is wrong. All of it, this term, is done ham handedly. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

“When asked if he needed a successor in the White House, Musk answered: ‘Is Buddha needed for Buddhism? Was it not stronger after he passed away?’” @hcrichardson.bsky.social

It is a puzzler…

So! Much! Winning! All in 100 days!

“Why arrest her at the courthouse? Again, this is just an effort to sensationalize the case and intimidate other judges. […] In essence, this is the biggest, most outrageous perp walk of all time, complete with a tweet from the Director of the FBI.” @joycewhitevance.bsky.social, 4/26/25

“They argued that a society works best if wealth and power are concentrated among a few elites, who can direct capital more efficiently than government[…]. Their rhetoric worked: from 1981 to 2021, $50 trillion moved from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%.” @hcrichardson.bsky.social 4/24/25

Let’s not pretend this was an accident. Wife of wrongly deported Maryland man Kilmar Abrego Garcia forced into safe house after government posts address online www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Viktor Yanukovych (Putin’s puppet, now in exile in Russia) was the president of Ukraine until he was ousted in February 2014. In February and March 2014, Russia invaded the Crimean Peninsula. Snap elections weren’t held until May of that year. FOTUS doesn’t know history.

“As NPR’s Steven Inskeep put it:[…]‘the US president has launched a trade war against the world, believes he can force the EU and China to meet his terms, is determined to annex Canada and Greenland, but is powerless before the sovereign might of El Salvador. Is that it?’” @hcrichardson.bsky.social

“And even if Trump were to backtrack on everything he’s done, we wouldn’t get the lost credibility back. The whole world, sanewashers aside, now knows that America is run by a mad king, surrounded by enablers, who can’t be trusted to behave rationally.” @pkrugman.bsky.social

“Question of the day: Does the 10 percent rate still apply to the penguins of the Heard and McDonald islands?” @paulkrugman.substack.com.web.brid.gy

In this time of slurring, threatening, and, now, mass firings of our public servants, this is essential reading. Just stories of the unsung - not heros - everyday workers in different roles in our government.

Efforts to kill scientific research seem frantic. Last week, […] CDC labs studying [STDs] were closed and all their scientists fired. Make gonorrhea great again? The layoffs were so sudden that there are freezers full of samples with no custodians. @paulkrugman.substack.com.web.brid.gy

Elon says, Saturday, we’ll say that George Soros paid all of the protesters and bused them in – all three and a half million of them. Can you remember that or should I Gmail you Saturday afternoon?

“So many people referred to Cory Booker when they talked about why they were there, a reminder that our own acts can inspire other people to stand for democracy too.” JOYCE VANCE, Birmingham #HandsOff

Hands off, Bridgewater, NJ. Lots of honking, traffic slowing line growing. #handsoff

Who's got a plan for April 5.

Did we learn enough about remote learning and teaching during COVID to start an Institute for Inclusive American History and teach it in states that are cancelling diverse history courses?

Why would they do this? www.independent.co.uk/news/world/e...

The whole thing is worth it but he gets to the heart of things at 6:30. youtu.be/hycoCYenXls

“Imagine how a private business would react if it hired a supposed efficiency expert who quickly fired crucial employees while making grandiose claims about the money he’s saving, but kept releasing progress reports that were full of ludicrous errors. You wouldn’t keep him on[…] PAUL KRUGMAN, 3/5/25

It’s a coup.
