Dozens of Wisconsin and national elected officials have condemned the arrest of Milwaukee Judge Hannah Dugan — in one of the loudest objections yet to Trump’s assault on the judiciary.

This is going to get worse, not better. Never underestimate the American public’s thirst for performative cruelty towards The Other: defendants, foreigners, anyone they’ve been conditioned to see as less than human. We’re the country that made lynchings into picnics.

The days of divisiveness are over… If you don’t join us in fighting this administration, then just get out of the way, but we will no longer be fighting you (MAGA) ..We are done with you ..We will ignore you like the toddlers you all are They WANT us fighting each other. Stop it

Critical messaging for Dems if they're being forced into a shutdown. Undo the cuts to Social Security, VA health care, cancer care research. Put the DOGE boys into a boxes w chaperones if the Republican want help. NEED TO BE CRYSTAL CLEAR about what's at stake immediately in peoples lives.

NEW: The Trump Administration is once again trying to walk back promises to Wisconsin’s farmers and producers—this time gutting $1 billion Congress approved to support local producers and food pantries and strengthens our supply chains, including $6 million promised to Wisconsin.

This just passed, party line vote with all Dems voting no and Republican Thomas Massie joining them. I will explain the details below, for those who want cliff notes version it's in the bottom of this press release: beyer.house.gov/news/documen...

Seems like has been very little coverage of protests happening in the U.S.--not necessarily an intentional media blackout (although possibly), but the result of a longstanding stance in legacy media that protests aren't worth covering, activists aren't credible sources (but somehow CEOs are), etc.

Trudeau: We’re probably going to keep booing the American anthem. But let me tell Americans, we're not booing you. We're booing a policy that is designed to hurt us.  But we're Canadian. We're going to fight. And we're going to win.

Forest fires in SC (Myrtle beach area) do not recommend

Carolina Forest and firefighters tonight in Myrtle Beach. Wind shift happening now and still an uncontained wildfire.

How would a random Russian news agency reporter sneak into the White House?

“You don’t have the cards.” Frump tells Zelensky. We are the cards asshole .

Who lifted the travel ban? Andrew Tate, charged with rape and trafficking in Romania, heads to the U.S.-NBC News

21 U.S. DOGE Service staffers resign over a refusal to 'jeopardize Americans' sensitive data,' letter says via NBC News

A little disobedience here, a little disobedience there #Resist

From an expert: "Last night was the worst night in US civil-military relations since the Civil War." Loyalty purges of the military are very, very bad.

after a weird four year delay, a federal judge in mass. has dismissed a lawsuit by the auto industry against a very popular state "right to repair" law that made repairing your vehicles easier and less expensive

He'll do for air travel what he did for Twitter.

This is a great idea.

I am not making this up: Republicans have introduced legislation… to increase your bank fees.

Even the most disturbing RFK Jr. headline always manages to have a detail inside creepier than you could have imagined. I’m sorry, did you just say Black kids should have a chance to get “re-parented”???? Gift link wapo.st/4hW2xGI

Madison, Wisconsin standing strong!!! Thank you!! #CourageIsContagious #FiftyFiftyOne

It’s like being held hostage in a clown show.

“Give the DOGE kids whatever they want.” USAid www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/feb/05/musk-doge-takeover-usaid

There it is. NTSB only sending info out via X now. Expect the same from CDC FDA etc. soon.

It’s insane to me that we’re just… letting non-government personnel rifle through government code. The SysAdmins have to be losing their fucking minds right now.

Several conversations today w people in the key executive departments. And while the particulars are hard to pin down my impression is that the Musk take over stuff is considerably worse than is being presented in the press. By this I don’t necessarily things they *done* yet but the level of …

USAID security leaders removed after refusing Elon Musk's DOGE employees access to secure systems

1/ Musk seeking control over nerve systems of the federal government. As someone who spent a decade studying how centralized information systems are used for coercion this is a five alarm fire. We need to name it, identify risks, and seek to mitigate their impacts. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/u...
