As we see Trump fragrantly violate due process of law, disappear immigrants, ignore a direct unanimous order from the Supreme Court, and ship people off to torture camps in other countries, let's all thank Merrick Garland for "sticking to norms" and not prosecuting Trump as the law required of him.

Dear Mike Johnson,

A man who bankrupted multiple casinos does not have β€œinstincts” we should trust.

Signed,
Sane Americans

P.S. How was your 4 day weekend? Never mind, I really don’t care. Get back to work, freeloader.

I want my government to be boring and competent enough so that I don’t have to think about it every goddamn minute.

Reminder - Social Security is *your* money. You pay into it so you can collect it later. If the government shuts it down on a whim, without paying you back, that is theft.

Leaked memo: DOGE plots to cut Social Security phone support Changes could break the system, former officials say.

So it appears DOGE has decreed that Social Security administration will no longer provide phone support. At all. This is in addition to shutting down a ton of local SSA offices. www.axios.com/2025/03/17/s...

CDC Staff Prohibited From Co-Authoring Papers With World Health Organization Personnel It’s just the latest β€œOrwellian” crackdown on government scientists.

I don’t even know how this could be presented as being in service of anything other than hindering scientific progress.

We're not done yet | 18F

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

Trump and Vance ATTACK Zelenskyy in Oval Office and Align U.S. with PUTIN
YouTube video by The Lincoln Project Trump and Vance ATTACK Zelenskyy in Oval Office and Align U.S. with PUTIN

Today's Oval Office spectacle wasn't about showing strength, it was about surrendering to Putin. Trump and JD Vance have completely sold out America.

There are more cases of measles than there are trans athletes in America.

Guess which one Republicans in charge are focusing on?

Department of Education FormLock

The Department of Ed has a form to snitch on DEI policies in schools.

I’d be a shame if we broke it with thousands of responses… enddei.ed.gov

Arizona AG Kris Mayes, New Mexico AG Raul Torrez, and Oregon AG Dan Rayfield will begin holding Community Impact Hearings β€” a national series of townhalls "to hear from the public about the impact of federal firings and DOGE funding freezes across the country."

The first will be in Phoenix March 5.

πŸ’₯ BREAKING: At John Deere's annual shareholders meeting today, shareholders overwhelmingly rejected an anti-DEI proposal brought by the same group that targeted Costco and Apple. An anti-DEI proposal from the NCPPR received less than 1 percent of votes.

Deere shareholders: DEI is in. Bigots are out

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State.

H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladderβ€”affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long.

They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net
