European governments should be threatening to expropriate tech infrastructure from US tech companies until they tell their orange mafia boss to back off from Greenland.

On her first day as Governor of Virginia, Abigail Spanberger made a decisive move: She vetoed Executive Order 47, ending Virginia's participation in the federal 287(g) program that allowed local law enforcement to act as ICE agents. www.whsv.com/2026/01/17/d...

I laid out my anti-corruption agenda in a county Trump won by double digits. They’re on board.

Fire Kristi Noem.

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face. If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

Primary Schumer.

Tear down this ball(room).

I’ve always hated the terms “red state” and “blue state” (and now “purple”). It’s such a reductive way of describing very complicated electorates and makes it way too easy to divide us and we didn’t think of ourselves as “red” or “blue” 15 years ago.

"Destruction of federal property is a federal crime-18 U.S. Code § 1361 defines it as willfully injuring or committing any depredation of U.S. gov't property-Damage exceeding $1k is a felony w/ a fine-up to 10 yrs in prison or both" Meanwhile-took me forever to get permits to repaint my mailbox.

The next Democrat in office should demand that those who donated money for this abomination should pay to have it torn down and replaced with a new East Wing as it was before. Or risk never getting another government contract ever again.

I agree 💯. AECOM is the engineering firm. Huge domestic & international firm. The architect is from DC, McCrery Architects. They could’ve refused to work on what will be seen as the desecration of one of our nation’s greatest landmarks. What an awful, awful legacy decision for your company.

Tear down this ball(room). Today's Triad from @jvl.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/we-will-te...

Pledge to tear down the ballroom and restore the White House. Show R's that they can do what they want, but the ratchet turns both ways. This is a layup. Why don't Dems take it? www.thebulwark.com/p/no-kings-a...

Tomorrow, we declare NoKings.org, for the love of America.

"If you want to have a coup against the constitutional order, you want to control the capital city. And if he has control of the policing in the city of Washington...Who's gonna tell him to leave the White House?" @gtconway.bsky.social joins @jvl.bsky.social:

Boycott states that send troops to DC.

Yes, Yes and YES.

why do so many small business owners think their economic interests are aligned with Republicans? Setting up an LLC doesn’t mean you have a seat at the table.

It feels like we’re rapidly losing our purpose as a shared society in the US. People removing their kids from public schools, reducing public funding for research, our businesses only focusing on short term share price. I think part of our general societal existential crisis feelings are tied to…

We are now at a point where, (1) there’s full state capture, (2) they won’t let us regulate or reform the corruption out, (3) ordinary people are worn out or erroneously believe they can get a piece of a very small pie. What do we do?

Yet another example of how legacy media (Washington Post) covers a story versus how Democracy Docket does. If you value independent, pro-democracy media, consider supporting Democracy Docket now. newsletters.democracydocket.com/member-meblu...

Why does the Heritage Foundation still have tax exempt status?

Just finished taping with Stephen Colbert who announced his show was cancelled. If Paramount and CBS ended the Late Show for political reasons, the public deserves to know. And deserves better.

A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold."

people are losing their jobs due to these pointless DOGE layoffs, tech companies are doing the same, and AI is shutting out new grads from the job market. Where does this all end? Why are people in power allowed to so easily take away our livelihoods?

Why are ICE agents masked to begin with? Our law enforcement officers shouldn’t be anonymous. Ever.

Democratic senators should not vote to confirm a single Trump nominee. This administration is illegitimate and you cannot expect any of his associates to act in good faith to protect the Constitution.

June 14 is Trump’s birthday and his military parade in DC — but the biggest story of that day will be the actions we take everywhere else. Join our nationwide day of defiance to show that organized people power is stronger than Trump’s authoritarian aspirations: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

apnews.com/article/whit... Whitmer thinks she’s being politically savvy here. No, Governor, he’s going to play you. He’s going to demand even more. You can’t get concessions out of him without major strings attached that will cost you your career, your state, and our democracy.

AOC responds to Trump official after he threatened to prosecute her: “Come for me. Do I look like I care?”

The dominant belief system among elites is agreeing with anyone and anything that they think will get them to the next rung on the career ladder. Personally I like it when people announce this about themselves, it’s more honest than pretending anything means anything to them.

Does anyone else feel totally betrayed by the tech sector? We put so much trust in tech companies and individuals and we’re willing to sacrifice our own data privacy and consumer protection laws in exchange for the idea that they would solve our biggest societal and environmental challenges…

Impeach and remove!

BREAKING - Hegseth shared military bombing plans in 2nd Signal chat - with his wife, brother, and personal lawyer Now we see why he fired 2 scapegoats - and his top 3 deputies were pushed out Total MESS at the Pentagon, putting America at risk HEGSETH MUST BE FORCED OUT - NOW

Impeach and remove. Someone get the t-shirts made.

We must ban stock trading for members of Congress. No elected official should use their position for personal profit. Period.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Fucking dystopian.

Hey guys remember the Hillary Clinton email server? Seems kinda, small today, doesn’t it?

All Putin puppets must go

Meta probably realizes that all-out war on this book will only help its sales. But they are furious that an insider--who signed an NDA!--is going White Lotus on them, showing what it's like on the inside. www.wired.com/story/plaint...

The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.

Remember who these opportunists and traitors to the Constitution are (apologies for posting from the WP): www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Nothing screams HYPOCRITE quite like Trump complaining about & gutting school loan forgiveness for grads dedicated to service & bettering our communities while he’s had HUNDREDS of MILLIONS in debt forgiven due bankruptcy 6 times. tinyurl.com/r6nkkz3j

So much economic and political predictability has been wiped out by this administration in such a short amount of time. Why would anyone want to invest, start a business, or plan for a better future at this point when it could all be destroyed by this lunatic of a president?

With his permission, I'm sharing Dean Treanor's response to Ed Martin's letter:

Those of us who worked in the federal government for years can’t stress how much BS is being put out there from politicians and the media about “inefficiency” and “fraud/waste/abuse.” First, Congress tells executive employees how much and how to spend. There’s very little discretion as a government

I believe Musk and DOGE disbanded 18F because we stood in the way of their "procurement capture" operation. We get the government *out* of wasteful contracts. Musk wants that money back for himself. Explanation by @anildash.com of procurement capture: www.anildash.com/2025/01/04/D...

and if Republicans in Congress had actually been interested in improving government efficiency, they would have done more over the past couple decades to hire and incentivize more acquisition professionals to achieve better procurement results. They’ve never really cared, though.

And they’ll sell it to the public as “look how much faster we can buy without all these ‘bureaucratic’ rules!” without any acknowledgment that those rules exist to ensure fairness AND good value for public dollars.
