Quick recap:

This is great

The White House just posted this on X.

NEW: The Fourth Circuit REJECTS the Trump admin's appeal of Judge Xinis's orders to "facilitate" Kilmar Abrego Garcia's release: "We shall not micromanage the efforts of a fine district judge attempting to implement the Supreme Court's recent decision." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

BREAKING: Ranking Member Raskin demands Attorney General Bondi halt illegal intimidation campaign targeting the DOJ’s Public Integrity Office.

Wow.

People on X are calling for AOC's arrest for posting this.... so I am posting it everywhere!

This is just sheer brazen criminality by DOJ. Adams gets federal corruption charges dropped not because there isn’t overwhelming evidence, but because he agrees to help Homan round up migrants. And Homan says the charges will be refiled if Adams doesn’t “come through.”

One of the attorneys who just resigned instead of taking Trump's corrupt order to dismiss charges against Eric Adams - a Bronze Star veteran - wrote a letter that should echo through history.

Tulsi Gabbard has just been confirmed as the Director of National Intelligence. 😫

it is genuinely incredible that all you have to do is scratch the surface and it becomes clear that each of these guys is a huge piece of shit

PROJECT 2029 DEMS - LET'S GET STARTED #Riseuptostopfascism

Someone at the American Bar Association ate their Wheaties this morning.

MUST WATCH: Fans at Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl gave Trump the warmest welcome… straight from the pits of hell. The boos were louder than the halftime show.

BREAKING: A federal judge has determined that the Trump administration is violating his order lifting the blanket spending freeze on federal grant programs. He is orderin gthe administration to immediately unfreeze funds, including for NIH and the IRA. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Too true!

Mass protests at the Utah State Capitol in Salt Lake City. “Every human has rights” “women’s rights are human rights.” #3E #USprotests #EndImpunity #ICE #WomensRights ( 📷 @reedaroundtheworld.bsky.social )

Vance posted on X: “Judges aren’t allowed to control the executive’s legitimate power.” You mean Trump’s “power” being used to violate our Constitution? The Constitution is not something any president can manipulate for political games.

Musk isn’t making government smaller. He’s shutting down the parts of the government that have been investigating his companies for safety violations and ties to Russia.

Had Trump’s proposed tariffs gone into effect, the prices of avocados and tomatoes would have skyrocketed before Super Bowl Sunday. The threat of guac-ocalypse was a reminder of the precarious state of our food system, writes @yeahyeahyasmin.bsky.social.

What's happening in America is that, in the most literal sense, internet trolls have taken over the government.

Oops 😬

New in PN: The "cognitively irresponsibility" presidency "Cognitive irresponsibility is a giveaway that a leader is an authoritarian ... they don’t want to have to persuade the nation. They want to make a policy, and when we ask why, they say, 'Because I said so.'"

ELON IS ALLOWED IN THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION. NOT YOUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES OR STUDENTS & PARENTS. I WILL BE BACK.

This is the most important story in the United States right now. www.wired.com/story/treasu...

Ellen Weintraub, chair of the Federal Election Commission, announced that President Trump sent her a letter declaring her immediate removal. However, Weintraub rejected the action, stating it was not legally valid.

Wait. Have @doge and Elon just been pulling numbers from usaspending.gov ? Then releasing it as if they discovered it ? Brilliant if true. Absolutely brilliant. Fooled me. Very Trump like too. Any usaspending.gov experts out there that can tell us ?

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Thank you! A federal judge blocked U.S. DOGE employees from altering any records of payments at the Treasury Department while she weighs a request by public interest groups for a broader injunction against their activity. Thank you, U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly’s! 🙏

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

BREAKING: A Top DOGE Staffer, Marko Elez, has just resigned after Racist Tweets were uncovered. His account appears to have posted: “You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity.” and “Normalize Indian hate.”

I also find that as a historian/lawyer (now old), I'm just damn curious about how we come together to get out of this jam. This is bad, but not unprecedented. In every decade and era, it's always something. I see so much creativity and energy and want to witness where it takes us.

Trump & the oligarchs are openly robbing the US by the billions, the US treasury should be surrounded by protestors daily, the Whitehouse & Mar-A-Lago gates impassable by the masses. Asserting physical pressure against the regime is necessary, the calls and emails you send your reps & senators too.

The U.S. Labor Department has been temporarily blocked by court order from sharing data with Elon Musk and his staffers. 🥄

attempting to describe the vibes of the moment. have yet to do better than: "imagine watching a documentary reenacting the burning of the Library of Alexandria set to the soundtrack of 'Yakety Sax'"

My latest. As journalists and writers, we have a duty to use language that is accurate and describes our current reality. I’m no longer going to talk about DEI/Anti-DEI. Let’s be clear. We are facing racial purges and re-segregation. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

SENATE DEMOCRATS HAVE STARTED A MARATHON PROTEST TO STOP THE NOMINATION OF RUSSELL VOUGHT This architect of Project 2025 basically said he’d VIOLATE US LAW By taking money specifically designated by Congress And use the cash to fund whatever Trump wants CALL YOUR SENATORS NOW 202-224-3121

I spent several days in Gaza where people welcomed me warmly. They are fishermen, bakers, doctors, lawyers, farmers, teachers etc a community. The love their homeland. Gaza is a sovereign Palestinian territory. Their loved ones are buried there. That Trump & Bibi would force them out is horrifying
