Dem leadership,

Please run three types of ads, now until midterms:

1. Masked ICE abduction videos, “Trump’s America” (urban)

2. Farmers going bankrupt en mass, “Trump Tariffs Killed US Farms” (rural)

3. Epstein with Trump pics, “Republicans Protect Pedophiles” (everywhere)

Do this, you win.

@angrystaffer.bsky.social will be asleep soon, wtf is going with the illegal shootings in Venezuela and Colobia? What’s the secondary motive?

"ICE Wants to Build a 24/7 Social Media Surveillance Team"
Thoughts?

Did you know that your healthcare premiums are about to double because the GOP is intentionally sabotaging the Affordable Care Act and pretending that Democrats are trying to give undocumented immigrants free insurance?

Trump is openly threatening to occupy Chicago, one of America’s great cities, with the force of arms. Such a declaration is beyond the pale, a betrayal of the Constitution, and by itself an impeachable offense. It reveals a leader who mistakes domination for governance.

The biggest immediate concern is that it makes US ships abroad targets.

What happens when we start seeing China/Russia/Iran blow us civilian ships out of the water under the guise of them being ‘macro-terrorism vessels’

I’m not saying that’s what happened here, but it sets a dangerous precedent.

Here's a timeline of the catastrophic Texas floods NPR has compiled a timeline of when local, state and federal officials posted warnings on social media as well as the timeline of events as presented by local officials.

I think it’s likely. If not, this is the most expensive bluff in history. He’s moved multiple carrier strike groups, hundreds of aircraft, several air defense systems, etc. into the region.

The thing that tells me a strike is most likely is that they’re also stocking blood for potential casualties.

Updating phone and watch, let’s see how the changes are that eveyone says weren’t needed. #apple

ABC NEWS ARE COWARDS!

Support Terry Moran!

NO KINGS!
NO TO TYRANNY!

Does anyone else think paid agitators are in Cali?

They should be. On Patreon, I get asked almost every week who the most dangerous person in the administration is, and I answer Miller every time

The thing is, he isn’t going to be dissuaded by people pointing out how much power he has

If you really want to fuck with Miller, laugh at him. Mock him.

I think it‘s the most insane, authoritarian bullshit I’ve ever seen in a bill.

I don’t think SCOTUS will allow them to make that enforcement retroactive like they want (if they allow it at all).

It’s stupid to have to add bonds to cases involving the government, but judges will have to.

Did Trump short the market on purpose, or was this a reaction to Macron telling him to stop insulting European leaders on a group call yesterday? Because yes, he IS that petty.

My Time on 60 Minutes and Why I Refuse To Stay Silent From Marc | From the opening words of Judge Beryl Howell’s opinion to the 60 Minutes closing credits, this has been an emotional weekend for me personally.

I have endured his scurrilous attacks for years. He has sued me for racketeering — and lost. He has unleashed his right-wing army of online trolls. Since his reelection, he has threatened me, defamed me and singled me out by name in two executive orders. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-t...

Absolutely awful

thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter so you never miss a post —

DOGE wanting to merge federal databases is pretty shocking - and completely irresponsible.

The White House saying they didn’t know Hegseth ordered Ukraine aid frozen was pretty shocking.

Trump saying he didn’t know if he had to uphold the Constitution wasn’t shocking, but *was* disgusting.

@angrystaffer.bsky.social questions for tonight-
1. Are you working 9-5?
2. How long until the US capitulates to Russia?
3. Do you think a 9/11 situation is possible in the US within 2 years?

The NSA stuff is a really big deal - and I’m furious about the CISA cuts.

We will likely still be able to protect elections, but I’m more concerned about large scale cyberattacks from near-peers and/or sophisticated non state hacking groups.

Losing this kind of capability will leave us vulnerable

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025.

This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

Has anyone heard that NSA and Ft Meade are on the purge list?

Federal Workers Sue to Disconnect DOGE Server Two federal workers, citing reports that Elon Musk’s associates are operating an illegally connected email server at OPM, seek a restraining order.

The latest from @dell.bsky.social @wired.com:

A lawsuit alleges that Elon Musk’s "associates illegally connected a server [at OPM] to a government network for the purposes of harvesting information, including the names and email accounts of federal employees."

UPDATE: The "deferred resignation" scam Last week, Popular Information broke down the "offer" that the Trump administration was making to millions of federal employees to induce them to resign voluntarily.

1. Yesterday, the Trump admin released a contract laying out more details of the "deferred resignation" offer they are using to encourage federal employees to resign.

The deal is MUCH WORSE than it seemed

Anyone who signs this contract agrees to resign and gets NOTHING guaranteed in return

Did you hear the latest, Dept of Ed is next.

what a fking week, paranoid, feeling rushed, feeling ok, feeling sane. need to keep to myself
#governmentisfallingpart

graph showing federal employees are a declining share of the workforce

The federal government is not that big in historic terms, firing them won't save that much money, and it will make it harder to recruit.
Trump/Musk are solving a problem that does not really exist, and in doing so, will create problems for the rest of us.

This hits 😣
