in what meaningful way can we say that the constitution is in effect when an unelected and unaccountable billionaire is wielding state power to unilaterally cancel congressional appropriations?

By making the status report filings a condition of this TRO, Judge Kelley (a Biden appointee) is making sure that the Trump Administration can't play fast and loose with compliance.

lawyers: your bat signal has been activated

BREAKING: A federal judge in Rhode Island just said the Trump admin violated his order halting Trump's sweeping federal funding freeze — and has ordered the government to "immediately restore frozen funding."

Screaming into the void

The only message we can take from the Chiefs getting shut out in the first half is clearly that God is angry at Harrison Butker.

Someone let me know when Kendrick's halftime is over so i can look it up on youtube because i have less than absolute zero desire to watch any of this Super Bowl

WATCH: While Republican proposals include further tax breaks for the ultrawealthy and corporations, other proposals would eliminate tax breaks for families with children, like the current tax credit for up to $2,100 in child care expenses. 📽️ @josesepulveda.bsky.social

someone tell ernst that neither the president nor musk embodies the american people and that if they want to cut funding they should work with congress to pass a bill www.semafor.com/article/02/0...

I never understood the musicians playing music while the Titanic sank. Now I do.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Breaking:   NEW YORK (AP) - Democratic attorneys general sue to stop DOGE from accessing the Treasury Department's central payment system.

The NFL has a racism problem. Now it won’t say “END RACISM!” Trumpism wants this and it is OUTRAGEOUS! Just the pretense of acknowledging it exists and is wrong cannot be allowed to be normal! I WONT WATCH!

Our job is to make this the lowest-rated Super Bowl in history. Hit them where it hurts... corporate dollars. Besides, even the ads have been crap lately (watch them on YouTube on Monday if you must). #Resist #bluecrew

NOBODY ELECTED ELON

I just found 47 reasons not to watch the Super Bowl

The Senate just confirmed one of the architects of Project 2025, Russell Vought, to be Trump's OMB Director. ALL Republicans voted in favor. ALL Democrats voted against.

Trump is giving Musk unauthorized access to your sensitive personal info. This is a violation of your privacy. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

BREAKING: A Reagan-appointed federal judge in Seattle has issued a nationwide injunction blocking Trump's executive order, which sought to strip birthright citizenship from Americans born to two undocumented parents.

having border patrol raid school busses to terrorize children is far more harmful to your kids than a trans teenager in palo alto playing water polo

Popular or not Dems cannot bend on the need for trans people to be treated with basic humanity and respect. If we give up that because the right made trans people unpopular, we give up everything. They’ll dice us group by group like a salami. We die on this hill or we die alone in a ditch

Jesus, have we forgotten about Valerie Plame already?!

“I think the strategy here is: ‘Well, we’re just going to do it and dare somebody to stop us, and by the time they stop us, we’ll have destroyed it.’” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Auchincloss: "Two decades ago George W Bush made promises about nation building in two countries that had harbored terrorists, and it led to 20 years of forever wars that cost $2t and thousands of American lives. Now Donald Trump is proposing the same irresponsible concepts."

Yet another reason not to watch.

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.”

News from @stephenneukam.bsky.social: Senate Democrats will hold the Senate floor for the full 30 hours of debate over Russ Vought’s nomination. They’ll hold the floor Wednesday evening into Thursday morning. You did this, y’all.

We're suing President Trump to protect gender-affirming care access for trans people nationwide. President Trump, see you in court.

Fuck the NFL

Exclusive: Federal workers have filed an emergency motion requesting a restraining order to disconnect the DOGE server that's being used to conduct Trump's "deferred resignation program." The workers had previously accused DOGE of illegally bypassing a mandated privacy audit. By me at @wired.com:

A whole lot of people never watched School House Rock & it shows

I'm honestly very suspicious of people who claim Beyoncé's "Cowboy Carter" shouldn't have won Album of the Year. I don't think they listened to it. I really don't. It's a fantastic album. Quite deserving of AOTY. I wrote a review of it back in March: charlotteclymer.substack.com/p/review-cow...
