Make the Trump Administration, Elon Musk, and his โ€œDOGEโ€ bros prove that they are in compliance with the existing federal court orders.

Put some teeth on these court orders.

Non-compliance=contempt of court

Anecdotally, the Demsโ€™ attempt to enter Treasury on Tues broke through to the public in a big way.

At least according to..the Mom-o-meter.

My Mom before Tues: Youโ€™re doing what? Where? This canโ€™t be a national emergency.

Mom on Tuesday: WHO ARE THESE KIDS AND WHAT ARE THEY DOING WITH MY MONEY?

I think Musk is the kryptonite. No one likes him. I donโ€™t think even Trump, or a good portion of Trumpers, like him. Focus all the negative messaging on him, channel the negative coverage on him.

As an added bonus he is super insecure and fragile and he will lose his mind

That's not how the legal system works. If this went to the courts, it would be up to judges to decide. Whoever Bondi ropes into putting the case together would also have to point out what laws exactly the DEI language is breaking. They can't just go, "Illegal. Make go 'way."

Wouldn't this be impossible to do since DEI isn't illegal? There aren't any laws prohibiting it, right? All the case law and federal laws that describe what's discriminatory still exist. The memo is going to make people's lives miserable, but it's... just nonsense and bluster.

I think they're both very susceptible to mocking, but it has to be coming from 1) pretty girls, or 2) men they find powerful. They both have very fragile egos.

(2/X) One thing to always remember is that accurate information is the enemy of the narcissistic sociopath. They are often pathological liars and the more people see this, the more power they lose. And they like lawsuits because they have a different attitude towards conflict than other people....

I *am* feeling demoralized. One of the tactics for disempowering fascists that I agree with is mocking them and pointing out how weak they are. I think that's actually effective, but I'm not very good at it. I don't even call names when I'm in an argument with someone.

1/ โ—Really chilling.

Thanks to Sen. Mark Warner, for releasing Memo from acting deputy attorney general Emil Bove to FBI leadership ordering the purge.

-Memo is a clear abuse of power and weaponization of DOJ
-Memo bolsters FBI lawsuits filed today. VERY clear the list is for retaliatory purposes

Friends, I am not naturally a mean person, but I'm trying to mock bad people. If I say anything that seems really out of character and upsets you, I'm sorry. I may need insult coaching.

Do I actually care about penis size? No. The energy is about having such a fragile ego that me saying this would send a person into a pout. Nazis are the ultimate snowflake. Fragile, tiny, small. Always someone else's fault.

Donald Trump has such nanopenis energy. Tiny hands to go with his tiny dick. It's embarrassing that he's letting Elon Musk, who also has small peepee energy, take over the government. Nazis feel emasculated by being themselves, so they have to make everyone else miserable.

Destroy that Nazi industrialist in his wallet where his mega ego sits.

Ban Twitter/X. Choke him & Trump off all media.

Tax & ban Starlink, Tesla, and all products and services from Musk & Trump.

RAMP IT UP.

Fight fire with an even bigger fire.

SAVE THE WORLD.

The current administration is threatening to cut the federal workforce by 75%. Let's take a look at the impact that would have across the country - even in your region.

Anybody know any students at UNL or were a student at UNL? Or have kids at UNL? Federal felonies associated with faculty is exactly the sort of headache that makes people not want to make alumni donations and contact chancellor Rodney Bennett about.

Quick shout out to my favorite federal effort, the Cooperative Extension Service. CES is a collaboration with land-grant universities and the USDA to bring fact-based ag and gardening knowledge to the general public. This service is federally funded and is available to EVERYONE. #feds

Former Ohio State University wrestlers say Jim Jordan betrayed them and shouldn't be House speaker "Do you really want a guy in that job who chose not to stand up for his guys?" said one former wrestler who attended OSU when Jordan was assistant coach.

Finally, someone asks the wrestlers Jim Jordan betrayed what they think about the prospect of his Speakership.

Spoiler alert: they're not fans.

Props to NBC News for giving these guys a platform.
