A CBS News staffer told me this after Tony Dokoupil kicked off his CBS Evening News tenure tonight with a lengthy Pete Hegseth interview: "If this is what Bari and Tony’s CBS Evening News is going to look like, then the we may as well just call ourselves Trump Administration State TV. Pathetic."

This is actually worse than I assumed: *DOGE officials looked at SSA data, did not understand it and claimed there was fraud *SSA career staff explained the data showed no fraud *DOGE: we don’t trust civil servants, will hand power to a 21 year old intern Nothing could convince them they are wrong

Any court barring the public from attending preliminary hearings without an individualized, legally valid reason is Actually Violating the law. Hope members of Congress decide to show up to EOIR as well as legal observers, religious observers etc (but avoid getting arrested if you aren’t prepared!)

I have be warning this was coming. FHEO lost a huge number of experienced staff to DRP, as did many Offices that feared RIFs or other forms of malign intent from above. We now have Field Offices across multiple departments that are essentially empty. This is the tip of the iceberg.

“… peer-reviewed literature is dominated by articles supporting a zoonotic origin” while lab leak papers “are rare, fringe, and mutually incompatible with each other.” Correct. And it’s not because one side is “censored”. It’s because one side has zero evidence.

Our reps are about to burn federal infrastructure to the ground, the president won't acknowledge the constitution, and DHS is gestapo 2.0, but instead of talking about that pundits are wasting airtime on the health of a man who will never be in office again all to sell books for another pundit.

I am on clinical service doing ID consults currently. This weekend I saw two patients with COVID. Both were symptomatic enough to require antivirals and steroids. Both were under 65 years old but with comorbidities. COVID is still present, we can't restrict vaccine access for those who want them.

Much of what DOGE is doing is illegal. Much of it will create long-term and lasting damage to America. This is the clearest example of an action that was illegal, anti-democratic, but also sped past any moral grey zones to being deeply evil.

A few strong institutions, including Harvard and Princeton, are in a position to fight back. At these places, it is possible to resist for maybe 5 years. If that resistance succeeds, it reduces the likelihood of the sabotage to U.S. strength to spread everywhere else.
