Organizations File Emergency Suit to Stop DOGE’s Unlawful Access to Taxpayer Data From IRS Since President Trump’s inauguration, the so-called “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) has sought to access critical data from across the government, including data that contains information...

While a court of appeals ruled in a different case that a data-sharing agreement between the IRS and ICE was not unlawful on paper, that ruling didn't even address the actual data sharing that happened last summer.

The actual data sharing is still prohibited because of our case.

FACT CHECK: This is false. We secured a court order prohibiting the IRS from mass sharing taxpayer data with ICE.

THE DEATH OF US SCIENCE ☠️

Currently trending on X.

The Trump administration hates innovation

So they have no plan. Got it.

The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.

SecDef Hegseth Announces Trans Scouts In Scouting America Will Be Outed, Segregated The policy is the latest in a trend of organizations capitulating to Trump over transgender people.

1. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has announced that under a new deal with Scouting America, formerly Boy Scouts of America, trans scouts will be forcibly outed and segregated from peers of their gender.

The policy is the latest cruel capitulation.

Clarence Thomas Just Struck Another Blow to Black Power In his majority ruling in a sleeper case about mail delivery, Thomas opened the door to a new way for Republicans to suppress the Black vote.

In an overlooked decision this week, the Supreme Court ruled that the post office can refuse to deliver your mail, which is KIND OF SIGNIFICANT if you choose to mail your ballot.
To do this work, the anti-democracy wing turned to their favorite “black friend,” Clarence Thomas.

The best Twitter riposte of the day is a community note.

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

I asked Oldest, Gen Z, if he knew who Bill Clinton’s VP was.

He did not.

He DID know who Al Gore was. The guy who had the election stolen by the Supreme Court. Also the climate change guy.

I found that interesting.
