This is the biggest con job in American history-an outrageous scam right out in the open.Trump and Musk belong behind bars. They're blatantly robbing hardworking Americans, siphoning off every dollar they can just to pad their already bloated bank accounts.It's sickening, and it's got to stop now.

The Social Security Administration Is Gutting Regional Staff and Shifting All Public Communications to X The SSA’s shift to Elon Musk’s X comes as the agency plans to cut its regional office workforce by roughly 90 percent, WIRED has learned.

The Social Security Administration will be shifting its public communication exclusively to X, sources tell WIRED. This comes as agency plans to cut its regional office workforce by roughly 90 percent.

As with the EOs concerning elections, immigration and naturalization is categorically NOT an Article II power. To do this, the executive branch will undoubtedly try to hang its hat on some delegated authority by Congress. The focus now should be on clawing those delegated authorities back

If anyone out there still thought DOGE was "volunteering," game's up.

Taxpayers deserve to know how much $$$ the technofeudalists forced on DOL are being paid to steal sensitive data, fire federal workers and dismantle critical public services.

This is huge - and disgusting.

Due process is foundationalβ€”arguably the defining difference between a constitutional republic and authoritarian rule.
If people are being deported without it, that’s not a policy disputeβ€”it's a direct violation of the Constitution.

If your NC vote has been challenged, the appeals court has triggered a 15-day "curing" period. It is imperative that you contact your local Board of Elections or legal representation for the next steps.
The NC GOP is openly trying to steal their state's Supreme Court. Do not let them.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.

What will you do?

Federal Judge Allows DOGE to Takeover $500 Million Office Building For Free It’s the culmination of a weeks-long standoff between Elon Musk’s DOGE team and the United States Institute of Peace.

BREAKING: US federal judge allows DOGE to takeover $500 million office building for free.

In fact, the buildingβ€”and all of the property inside itβ€”had already been transferred on Saturday.

Achieving Efficiency Through State and Local Preparedness By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1. Purpose.

Let’s discuss a new Executive Order: Achieving Efficiency Through State and Local Preparedness

This poorly written and ill-conceived document lacks clarity of purpose. It seems to point to having states handle all disaster response, but after rereading it I am not clear.

Blue sign with white text saying I Love Government Workers. The word love is substituted with a red heart.

Blue sign with white text saying I Love Government Workers. The word love is substituted with a red heart.

Government employees are receiving a lot of cruel and baseless disparagement from Elon and the DOGE kids. I want federal workers to know we have their back and that we love them.

I hope seeing these signs up makes them smile during what is a dark time.

"What Trump's really claiming is the authority to determine on his own whether prior legal actions were null and void from the beginningβ€”and that is a terrifying escalation of the power that he’s claiming."

Trump just invoked this very same law to target people *inside* our borders and he’s already deporting citizens. Roberts said history repudiated Korematsu, but SCOTUS never actually overruled it. What makes anyone think he won’t do this again? Who’s gonna stop him?

Exclusive: How the White House defied a judge's order to turn back deportation flights "This is headed to the Supreme Court. And we're going to win."

We all need to pay attention to this case.

Checks and balances, a foundation of how our government works, is at play here.

The court order was clear. The WH made the β€œinterpretation” that the court didn’t have the authority to decide.

Deportation flights landed after judge said planes should turn around Flight records reviewed by The Washington Post show that three flights bound for El Salvador arrived after a judge barred deportations under the Alien Enemies Act.

"On Saturday, a federal judge barred President Donald Trump from using a wartime powers act to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members without a hearing. In his order, he instructed the administration to turn around any planes that had taken off after the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 went into effect."

A screenshot from a court filing reads, in part: 

"Julio Noriega is 54 years old, was born in Chicago, and is a U.S. citizen. 

On January 31, 2025, he was walking near the corner of Cermak Road and Harlem Avenue in Berwyn, Illinois, handing out his resume to local businesses. 

As he walked out of a Jiffy Lube, he was approached by ICE officers who grabbed and handcuffed him and put him into a van, without an opportunity to explain his citizenship. 

The officers drove Julio and others around for more than an hour before bringing him to an ICE processing center, where he remained, still handcuffed, for several more hours. 

All the while, Julio had a wallet containing identification that ICE had confiscated.

The officers never showed Julio a warrant, and they did not ask him any questions to ascertain whether he was a noncitizen or a flight risk. 

After about 10 hours, ICE officers reviewed the contents of Julio’s
wallet, realized he was a U.S. citizen, and released him with no money and no paperwork."

A US-born citizen was walking near Chicago in January. ICE snatched him off the street, handcuffed him, threw into a van. His wallet, which contained his ID, was confiscated. He was detained for 10 hours before being released without a record of what occurred.

In the midst of increasingly extreme weather events, the need for Environmental Protection Agency guidance is more important than ever. President Trump’s EPA is prioritizing the monetary gain of fossil fuels over the health and safety of our communities.
