I figure I need to explain how extreme and irresponsible is the June 7 Memorandum federalizing the National Guard and authorizing regular armed forces.

Those saying anything in support of this action may not realize what they’ve gotten into.

(It will also escalate from here.)

There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

It is a sad day for the legal industry. Paul Weiss, didn't just bend a knee, it set a new standard for shameful capitulation. This is a stain on the firm, every one of its partners, and the entire legal profession.

Trump Shows Us Why He's Called "Elon's Lapdog" In This Oval Office Presser What a pathetic and horrifying sight

Yesterday Elon Musk joined Trump in the Oval Office for a “press conference,” which was really nothing more than another propaganda session.

The whole thing was so strange. Trump seemed like a heavily sedated animal at the zoo, hunched over his desk, letting Musk do most of the talking.

US Core Inflation Rose 0.4% in January, Topping Forecasts Underlying US inflation last month rose by the most since March, diminishing chances the Federal Reserve will lower interest rates anytime soon.

Today's a great day for Vladimir Putin. He finally has an asset at the highest level of US intelligence, and he’s laughing. Tulsi Gabbard, known in Russia as "Putin's Girlfriend", is now in charge of our intelligence apparatus. America is being weakened by Trump and his administration.

This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

The Young, Inexperienced Engineers Aiding Elon Musk’s Government Takeover Engineers between 19 and 24, most linked to Musk’s companies, are playing a key role as he seizes control of federal infrastructure.

Musk now has access to all government data, payment, and communication systems. He halted funding allocated by Congress, impacting Lutheran Social Services and USAID. He’s not done yet. This unprecedented data breach also grants him access to OUR banking and Social Security info, too. It is illegal

Lawyers for Justice Dept. employees threaten to sue, saying dismissals violate the law.

Yes. Finally, some meaningful pushback against these constitutional outlaws.

During WWII, on this day, the survivors of Auschwitz were liberated by Allied Forces.

Today, and every day, we remember the millions of lives that were lost, and must always fight back against senseless hatred and anti-Semitism wherever it appears.

So much class

You’d think terrorizing grade school kids would coalesce public opinion against these animals, but what do I know. Congrats I guess if you voted for this.

🔥U.S. Navy Veteran Laura Hubka DOES NOT hold back calling out Sen. Joni Ernst:

"Ernst has an opportunity to show that she is truly the independent voice that she claims to be whenever she asks us for our votes. We shouldn't be playing games when it comes to running the Pentagon."

Am taking the weekend to finish a massive new report on Elon Musk that is profoundly distressing

Its focus is overwhelming evidence he is taking control of significant components of our government in a way that endangers all of us and is a national security issue

Should be at PROOF Monday evening

Looks like our national parks will be needing volunteers.
Assuming they're even allowed to do that.

This is not good people
Let's pick up those phones and rage into the machine.

Deportation flights never stopped. The Biden Admin deported about 1 million people per year. Republicans never talked about that because it didn’t fit their narrative, and Democrats never talked about it because they feared it would anger part of their base. So ignorance ruled.

Check out these peaceful protesters on the day of love!

So the criminals are being released from American jails.

Since when is promoting Christian ideals a political event?
Answer me that, chr8stian Nationalist, johnson?

BREAKING: A federal judge temporarily blocked President Trump’s executive order to severely restrict birthright citizenship, issuing a 14-day nationwide restraining order. The GOP-appointed judge described the order as “blatantly unconstitutional.”

So far, much like the original Twitter.

There is outrage and heartbreak here!

It's so fitting that Donald Trump's inauguration will be held in the Capitol Rotunda, the very place four years ago where his pack of lawless loons ransacked, looted, and smeared their excrement. What an apt metaphor for what the incoming administration plans to do to America.

Keep your eye on the prize: the faux mass deportation cosplay this week is just for the MAGA base.

What they care about inside Trump world is a fast march on the tax bill.

P.S. I'm going long on tumbrels and guillotines.

In a new filing, DOJ says it delivered a copy of the special counsel’s report on the classified documents case to Judge Cannon, as directed.

The filing pointedly tells Cannon that her review of the report is “not necessary” to determine whether it should be made available to members of Congress.

I am a human being who has worked hard my entire life, now retired. I do not follow any instructions from anyone but myself. I didn't vote for this nonsense, and he is not my president. I am part of the resistance. #wtpBLUERESISTS #DemVoice1 #VoteBlueforOurFuture
