@jenpsaki.msnbc.com: “Yes, people are pissed. And it is not hard to see why. As we watch these protests play out across the country, we're also watching a metaphorical ticking bomb… in a country where we suddenly have to worry about the safety of air travel, and of our literal nuclear bombs.”

@normeisen.bsky.social: “Many, many Tweets today about our work and our case and me from Mr. Musk… he's supposed to be in charge of government efficiency. How does he have time to do all this Tweeting? I think he's not used to being held accountable.”

@davidhogg.bsky.social: “When the PACT Act was sunk by Republicans… I showed up on the steps of the US Senate, where many veterans were literally sleeping out there protesting… I gave them my Twitter and I said, ‘Tell us your story.’ That's what we need to be doing with these federal workers.”

@crew.bsky.social's latest lawsuit: Trump’s illegal EO converts "potentially tens of thousands of merit-based civil servants to at-will employees, enabling political appointees to fire and replace them with loyalists" and exceeds the president’s authority www.citizensforethics.org/wp-content/u...

The rush to destroy things like USAID and other agencies before lawsuits can stop them is to make it moot. When our stupidly slow judicial system finally moves to stop them it will be far too late. If all 10,000 USAID employees are home and projects abandoned it’s done. It’s evil.

Here I was, all worried that the DoJ OLC might tell Garland he can't release the report, then BAM. Judicial terrorist Aileen Cannon dips her robes into the mix and blocks it. I hope the DoJ finds a way around this and is able to get the report out to the public.

1/ Nice tidbit in a supplemental filing from Nauta & De Oliveria, confirming they realize Judge Cannon lacks jurisdiction to bar release of Special Counsel's report. Of course, she never had jurisdiction over the J6 case & can't bar that part, but she dismissed the MAL case & can't act further on it

This is what I have been dreading. Too many friends want to treat this as a normal election. The conversations have been sounding like they would have 20 years ago. Not wanting to acknowledge what Trump can actually destroy.

Ultra-wealthy elites. Political corruption. Corporate monopolies. Anti-immigrant nativism. Vast inequality. These problems aren’t new. In the late 1800s, they dominated the country during America’s first Gilded Age. We overcame these abuses then, and we can do so again.

“When someone’s path through this world is marked with acts of cruelty, they have failed the first test of an advanced society,” JB Pritzker said. Empathy & compassion are “evolved states of being. They require the capacity to step past our most primal urges.” www.americaamerica.news/p/reflecting...
