The analogy is precise. And the White House response was nasty and disingenuous. This will be a major test of the courts – I think that they will pass it; but it is fundamental. I’ll have an article up on this at @thenewrepublic.bsky.social shortly plus a longer Substack on @talkingfeds.bsky.social

Had a conversation with a non political person whose buddy works for the forest service and was 10 months into his job supplying hard to reach parts of a national forest and was fired. The guy talking to me was like “I don’t really think my buddy’s $50,000 salary is gonna balance the budget.”

@daniellemoodie.bsky.social and I talk about Rebecca Kutler and MSNBC's purge/silencing of people of color and progressives. I spill some tea about how the whole "contributor" gig works at cable news. Give us a watch. Sadly, we predicted Ayman & Katie would get cut. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHUn...

NEW: Macron has to interrupt Trump and correct a lie about Europe’s contribution. TRUMP: “Europe is loaning the money to Ukraine. They get their money back." MACRON: “No. We provided real money. To be clear.” Trump clearly not used to get fact-checked live.

Let's juxtapose that my Iowa hometown canceled an African American Read-In because administrators believed it ran afoul of Trump's anti-diversity e.o. and the state's "divisive concepts" law. A few days later white supremacists freely marched in the capitol. www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/2...

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

Every time I think thing can’t get worse, the appointees can’t get worse, Trump says ‘hold my beer.’ I am stunned, even by Trump standards, that Dan Bongino, a man even Fox got rid of, is now the new deputy director of the FBI. We are so effed.

The first text I got from a "famous" person after I went public about January 6th, was @joyannreid.bsky.social Joy didn't want an interview, a statement or even a soundbyte...Joy simply said, Harry i want to be your friend and I'm here for you. She's as real as they come and I'm so thankful for her

Weird how the Times didn’t feel the need to note that all this happened after Trump’s FCC chair notified Comcast that the company was under investigation for “promoting DEI” as they were trying to spin off MSNBC To be fair, maybe the writer didn’t know all this Oh, wait…

After asking questions and making remarks about Medicaid, Teresa Borrenpohl was told to leave a town hall in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. After Borrenpohl refused to leave, men tried to carry her out, then forced her to the ground. Clear violations of her constitutional & civil rights! PREPARE FOR THIS.

Imagine if Joe Biden had made one of the Krassentein brothers deputy director of the FBI. That would have been a way less controversial or outrageous move than making Dan Bongino - man too extreme for Fox! - deputy director of the FBI (!)

We are actually living in a time where some Christians see mercy as offensive, empathy as a sin, and diversity, equity, and inclusion as a threat. “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness.” -Isaiah 5:20 Lord, have mercy.

Donald Trump fired the people who make sure you and your parents get the health care you need. The people who make sure medical devices are safe for you to use. The people who approve the lifesaving drugs you rely on. How does this help working people?

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Trump and MAGA should've paced it out but Musk took over and went too fast. Americans are notoriously apathetic and comfortable, but the chaos and damage is coming fast and furious. They would've had more success in the long run but they're waking folks up sooner than I thought.

When protestors uttered the slogan “defund the police” the national media had a massive freak out. But now that Trump wants to actually gut the FBI and (it would seem) illegally fire 1000s of people who work there, the same media sees it as a curiosity, a dull bureaucratic matter.
