NEWS: The Gaza "ceasefire" is collapsing before our eyes as both sides accuse each other of violations. There have been major Israeli military strikes across Gaza today. Yet, MAGA Mike is going on TV and calling for Trump to get a Nobel Peace Prize.

I recently sat down with three leaders who are part of the @obamafoundation.bsky.social's alumni network to hear more about their work to strengthen democracy in Hungary and Poland. They’re an example for us all. Take a look:

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage

Pritzker: "This guy is unhinged. He's insecure. He's a wannabe dictator. And there's one thing I really want to say to Donald Trump. If you come for my people, you come through me. So come and get me."

Wow. It should get more attention that on most social media sites aside from X, the Trump White House is getting absolutely ripped to shreds over the shutdown. These Instagram comments are absolutely brutal for them.

Listen to this story about what ICE did after they kidnapped a mother with their young children and her 71 year old mother while they were enjoying a picnic together. This is who ICE is and what they do and the American people’s rights denied 👇👇👇👇 youtube.com/shorts/k2pO6...

Gee… this IS interesting…

"Nothing says 'Made in America' like shutting " down in America."

As a bookish kid, I admired the Supreme Court for having the character to unanimously come out against segregation in the 1950s, when no other branch of our government would have had that courage. So it saddens me to see it lose its way and endorse judging people for the color of their skin today.

Big news coming out of Rockland County! Kamala Harris got 0 votes in 4 Rockland County, NY precincts, including Ramapo 35, where Democrat Gillibrand still won her race. 🤨 SMART Elections sued to demand a hand recount. A judge allowed it to proceed. Hearing set for Sept 22.

Today's front page of The New York Post.

Never forget.

Captures it perfectly.

Spot on.

This was one of RFK Jr.’s first orders after being sworn in. Just an astonishing denial of science and will cause so much pain to the 45 million Americans facing mental health challenges.

IMPORTANT REMINDER: All six of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s children have been vaccinated. Not only is RFK Jr. a longtime anti-vaxxer, he has made a highly profitable career of endangering the lives of millions in his dangerous crusade against vaccinations. The ascendancy of this lying profiteer…

This is a very heavy day for us. To those who lost their jobs, we are with you and will work with you again. To those struggling to see a future for our work, do not give up. Real change in public health has always been a battle. Now it’s a war. We will win it. This is our country. #RISEUP

Stand with science. Always.

The DOGE circus clowns are already leaking classified U.S. data? What could go wrong? 🙄

So you can just say you work at DOGE and pillage anything from our documents you want. The law truly doesn't exist anymore! Cool!

ATTN HHS EMPLOYEES: Firing notices are going out. I am in receipt of an email saying they will revoke your access as soon as you read the email that you've been fired.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

An amazing resignation letter to Bove from an AUSA who worked on the Adams case. Money quote: “I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

Yes think about how judges are supposed to decide if things the president does are constitutional, and why the richest man in the world who just bought the election might not be into that.

Like watergate on angel dust

Low income ALABAMA folks hit with $100 charges because Trump canceled a grant from Biden’s bipartisan infrastructure plan that helps them with their energy bills…

Just to underscore the tension at DOJ at the moment, here's what one federal law enforcement official told me about the acting deputy attorney general: "I, along with other career FBI and DOJ personnel that I’ve spoken with, really have one message for him and that is, “go fuck yourself, traitor.'"

This is where you go to tell the National Park Service to restore the word "transgender" in its entry on the Stonewall monument. (Scroll down.)

The gender affirming care ban executive order has been blocked in court! www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Across the government, probationary employees and Schedule A workers—including individuals with severe physical, psychiatric, or intellectual disabilities, as well as veterans—are being let go.

They literally removed the T from LGBTQ and erased any mention of trans people who were present at the Stonewall Riots. They're trying to erase us from history. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/n...

As you know, I've been in communication with hundreds of federal workers & I've noticed a pattern. This is totally anecdotal, but I feel like I need to say something. For at least 5 agencies, the payment systems went offline briefly & were then restored - all around the time DOGE was there. 1/

As a software engineer I can tell you: Musk's coders are _not_ improving systems at various govt agencies. Any such claims are lies to hide the real intent. The best engineers take weeks even to understand complex systems; months to plan how to upgrade them; and years to do so without disruption.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum urged Google to reconsider its decision to rename the Gulf of Mexico the 'Gulf of America' for US users, adding the country could file a civil suit against the firm if necessary reut.rs/4hR5Bnu
