Trump’s DEI Ban Blocked—Judge Calls It Unconstitutional Trump’s crackdown on DEI just hit a wall. A federal judge blocked his orders, calling them vague, threatening, unconstitutional. Baltimore Mayor Scott led the charge, defending funding for education, housing, and jobs. DEI stays—for now.

These are the ads about Elon Musk that the Washington Post refused to run. The paper offered NO EXPLANATION. This is the problem with outlets that are CONTROLLED BY BILLIONAIRES focused on ingratiating themselves with Trump. Support independent media: muskwatch.com/subscribe

This is the way… “The elected officials in Washington have to stop protesting in Washington. They have to go back to their districts…show the consequences…show the school that isn’t operating…they have to make it real.” With social media, word will spread to neighboring districts—even red ones.

A couple of (actually serious) thought-experiment questions on where we are and where we’re going: If a bunch of sociopaths are destroying the federal government from within, why should we pay federal taxes? And if they succeed, who’s going to make us pay those taxes?

Elon fucking Musk does NOT appropriate federal funds. That is the job of CONGRESS. Not some foreign born private citizen jumping bean exploding penis rocket car melting nepo-baby conspiracy theorist womanizer who exchanges horses for handjobs. Congress needs to stand the fuck up. All of them!!!

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive): 1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment* 2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything 3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can 4. Citizens march en mass

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

I shared someone else's take on this earlier but I can't get it out of my head what an unbelievably bad tweet this is. We elected people to fight for us, not just throw up their hands and let democracy slip away.

Michael Steele is right: bipartisanship with today’s GOP is a losing battle. With Trump in power and Republican majorities, let them own their chaos. Democrats should focus on exposing the harm, offering clear alternatives, and preparing for a stronger, more united future.
