This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk have fired “multiple FAA lawyers whose job was to help prevent pilots with drug and alcohol problems from getting in the cockpit.” Musk and Trump want you to die in an airplane crash. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

This is in fact a real picture and it will work nicely in the ads next year about the military families devastated by Elon's illegal firings.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

Your regular reminder that §230 protects YOU, the person reading this post, from being sued for reposting things just as much as it protects "Big Tech" from things that still wouldn't be a viable cause of action because your problem is not with §230, it's with the first amendment

State governments should cut off all state and local cooperation with the FBI, and they should do it immediately. No law requires it, the Constitution fully empowers you to not even return their calls. But there is no legitimate purpose now in treating them as an acceptable partner for anything.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

BREAKING: Sen. Ron Wyden sounds the alarm that Trump approves of the House budget resolution -- the only way they can meet their $880 billion in cuts is by cutting hundreds of billions from Medicaid, a disaster for millions. Make sure everyone sees this.

Today marks 83 years since Executive Order 9066 forced over 120,000 Japanese Americans into concentration camps. Photographer Dorothea Lange was hired by the government to document the forced relocation of these families. She made images of life before, during, and after the camps.

🧵Who is opposing the Trump administration? I analysed 76 actions of the administration since inauguration and then searched for meaningful opposition to each. I grouped the types of opposition and considered what we can learn from both them & actions where opposition has been lacking 1/24

US Folks, if you didn't order your gov Covid RATs last fall, do it NOW. They intend to destroy them. 160 million tests, worth > 1/2 billion $, & "Only a small fraction of the tests are expired, according to the officials." Cutting gov waste, huh. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Just to be clear, because I don’t think the Post story highlights it enough: This was Trump’s day-one pick to lead the Social Security Admin until his nominee got confirmed who RESIGNED a career job rather than do what Musk’s DOGE team wants. This is Treasury (DOGE) and DOJ (Adams) all over again.

Musk & Trump fired a disabled Army vet, Luke Graziani, who is a father of four, working at the Bronx Veterans Affairs hospital. "[Writing to the VA secretary], he asked for his job back: 'This can’t be how my service to my country ends.' As of Monday, Collins had not replied."
