Wow— “Cardinal Tobin told hundreds of faithful gathered online that now is the time to say no — no to violence, no to indifference, and no to funding the U.S. government’s own “machinery of death.”

Crockett: This is not what we should be doing. I don’t even know why we’re fighting with Greenland. We’re fighting with Greenland, Canada, and Mexico—yet we’re in love with Putin?!

Donald Trump does not have a "mandate" for any of this He's hardly the first president to claim he represents the people's will—or God's. But he might be the most brazen.

No, Trump doesn’t have a mandate, as @michaelmechanic.bsky.social lays out www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

US joins Russia to vote against UN resolution condemning Russia’s war against Ukraine | CNN Politics The United States joined Russia to vote against a UN General Assembly resolution condemning Russia’s war against Ukraine Monday in a stunning shift from years of US policy.

For the US to side with Russia and North Korea to oppose a UN resolution condemning the illegal invasion of Ukraine defies all common sense and adds insult to the countless injuries suffered by the brave Ukrainian people. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/24/p...

Pam Bondi is disbanding the Foreign Influence Task Force - the FBI team that is charged with combatting foreign meddling in US elections.

Worth asking how this makes us more safe in any way, shape, or form.

Musk’s Status in Government May Violate Criminal Law His wealth should not be able to buy a conflict of interest waiver

100% ridiculous that "We do not know if Musk has received a conflict of interest waiver. If he has and the administration is claiming the waiver is justified"

Raffensperger Asks Federal Government for Help Suppressing Voters Read more.

NEW: Shortly after Pam Bondi was sworn in Wednesday, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger asked her to drop the Department of Justice’s lawsuit challenging the state’s 2021 voter suppression law, S.B. 202.

I warned you, Raffensperger is no hero. He is a GOP vote suppressor.

Elon Musk Is A Tech Bro Wrecking Ball But he’s approaching his own fork-in-the-road

“Elon Musk is carrying out the most destructive part of Trump's agenda—a radical attack on federal workers and their missions. The result? Chaos, corruption, and a government in free fall. The game isn't over, but the stakes couldn't be higher. Read more:

point out, it is also unworkable. (See Dkt. No. 69-1 at 17.) The recordkeeping and administrative burden from such an arrangement, (see id.), ' also mandates nationwide relief. Nor is it clear what, if any, prejudice the Government would suffer from nationwide relief. In its brief in opposition, it points to none. (See Dkt. No. 84 at 57-59).

For all these reasons, the Court finds that relief must be nationwide. Anything less is ineffectual.

III. CONCLUSION

Citizenship by birth is an unequivocal Constitutional right. It is one of the precious principles that makes the United States the great nation that it is. The President cannot change, limit, or qualify this Constitutional right via an executive order. The Court GRANTS the i Plaintiffs' motions for a nationwide preliminary injunction (Dkt Nos, 63, 74) and ENJOINS enforcement or implementation of the Order on a nationwide basis.

Brits overwhelmingly reject Elon Musk as half say he's 'threat to democracy' A new poll found both the erratic tech billionaire, and Tommy Robinson whom he championed on Twitter, are deeply unpopular with the public

“Musk is a deeply unpopular figure in the UK, with a net favourability rating of -35, lower than Nigel Farage or Tommy Robinson.”

And although most Brits are angry about the grooming gang scandal, they think Musk is commenting purely out of opportunism/self-interest.

Hegseth is compromised he’s an alcoholic and abuser. Trump wants him because he knows he can control him. Trump fired Esper and installed Chris Miller and Kash Patel to deny the National Guard 14 times by my reporting, on January 6th. Here’s where I was when the calls came in.

Pete Hegseth honored those who died on 9/11 by showing up to their New York City memorial site in his underwear.

Is that the type of decision making we want running the Department of Defense?
