trump is a national disgrace, unfit for any office because he’s a traitor and a convicted felon.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social: "The question is can you work with Republicans in the middle of a constitutional crisis when democracy is on the line? And right now, I think that this crisis is serious and deepening in its seriousness, that our job #1, #2, and #3 is to save our democracy."

DOGE Mismanagement Principles Musk et al. don't know or care about the damage they are doing

DOGE is not a govt efficiency project. Firing 1 in 4 fed employees would cut govt spending by 1%. DOGE is a political control project. Firing and terrorizing public employees is a means to weakening state regulation & strengthening a personalist presidency donmoynihan.substack.com/p/doge-misma...

Who else has adopted "besides the fascism?" as their response to every casual "how are you?"?

Secret Service: $7M to $10M.

Air Travel and Motorcade: $4M-5M.

Stadium Security Upgrades:
Additional metal detectors, bomb sweeps, security checkpoints: $2M.

Local Law Enforcement: Overtime and personnel: $1M.

Trump's Super Bowl attendance: $15 to $20M. Where’s DOGE?

Jamie Raskin says he’s contemplating a class action on behalf of all Americans.

Letter

Pete Hegseth wants $49,000 for emergency painting a condo. Not very DOGE, if you ask me.

Connolly: "There's a difference between cutting waste fraud and abuse, and dismantling whole agencies. No one gave Trump, no one gave Elon Musk that authority. It is unconstitutional. It is unlawful. It is a violation of Article 1. And we're gonna fight it."

We got the first emergency order locking Musk & the WH DOGE out of sensitive Treasury systems

I shudder to think what coulda happened if they were able to muck about in there

I explained more w @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.social

Do I have this right? Elon Musk - the guy in charge of preventing wasteful spending - dropped $40M on a Super Bowl ad?

We could permanently house 800 homeless veterans for $40M. Or provide five million meals to the hungry. Or replace lead pipes in 8,500 homes.

Make the Trump Administration, Elon Musk, and his “DOGE” 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

Thanks for nothin trump, and maga. Don’t forget buyers remorse, it really sucks!

How the f*ck does the executive branch have power to shut down agencies created by Congress

Just 57 companies linked to 80% of greenhouse gas emissions since 2016 Analysis reveals many big producers increased output of fossil fuels and related emissions in seven years after Paris climate deal

Net Neutrality Is Dead (Again). Journalism Could Suffer. - Columbia Journalism Review What a new court ruling might mean for independent local news.

U.S. consumers have told us they want an internet that is fast, open, and fair. It's clear that Congress needs to heed their call, take up the charge for net neutrality + put open internet principles in federal law.

There's nothing corrupt that Aileen Cannon can do about it. Joe Biden has immunity; release the Jack Smith report immediately.

Anyone who thinks that Trump is a genius making “chess moves” while we’re playing checkers.
Anyone who thinks that Trump is a Christian who goes to church.
Are in full fledged, cult of stupids, and you dipshits are too dumb to realize that the world is laughing at us, and not in a good way.

At the VERY LEAST, since he accomplished nothing else to hold the leaders of this accountable, Merrick Garland needs to release the damn report and stop being afraid of his own shadow. Weak people all over this Admin is part of what got us here.

#NEVER normalize #trump!

#Musk must stop interfering with the established protections the #citizens of this country rely on to protect us from this voraciously greedy #billionaire!
