we've reached the point that the WSJ opinion section is publishing pieces with headlines like this, just saying

This is why you fight these cowards.

The moment you stand up to them, they crumble.

Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights.

He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Over at the other place, JD Vance is calling me a ‘dummy’ for pointing out his administration’s attacks on journalists and free speech here at home. Musk literally today called for the jailing of CBS journalists.

The VP clearly has a lot of time on his hands.

USDA says it accidentally fired officials working on bird flu and is trying to rehire them In a statement, an Agriculture Department spokesperson told NBC News that officials are "working to swiftly rectify the situation."

Elon Musk has now set his sights on the U.S. gold reserves at Fort Knox, insisting on personally ensuring the gold remains intact. The vault was last opened to journalists and a congressional delegation in 1974.

"There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people."

DOGE is arguing in court that Trump is calling all the shots and Musk isn't the DOGE administrator. Trump here admits he's not calling the shots. So if he's not, and Musk isn't, then who is the DOGE administrator? @normeisen.bsky.social @gtconway.bsky.social

Thanks

I can’t begin to tell you how fucking tired I am of being told we can’t react to everything Trump and his monsters do. All I see is an excuse to do nothing. Out here in the real world people are reacting.

They wouldn't listen

Health Programs Shutter Around the World After Trump Pauses Foreign Aid Lifesaving treatment and prevention programs for tuberculosis, malaria, H.I.V. and other diseases cannot access funds to continue work.

"Two-thirds of the staff of the President’s Malaria Initiative, an organization founded by former President George W. Bush, have been fired, including some of the most senior and respected scientists working on malaria control in the world..."

Approximately 20 members of Elon Musk’s staff have begun working within the Education Department. They have gained access to multiple sensitive internal systems, including a financial aid dataset containing the personal information of millions of students enrolled in the federal student aid program.

New resignation emails have been sent out with added fine print and stricter terms. Some contracts now require employees to work through February 28 before being placed on paid leave by March 1, contradicting earlier claims that no work would be required.

Not too long ago, Elon was doxing government employees on X. Where was the outcry of “You’re breaking the law” then? These employees feared for their families’ safety.

If these staffers are working within our government, the same rules apply: employee information is considered public record, as well as information releasable under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

Members of Elon Musk’s secretive team, tasked with reviewing federal agencies for potential cuts, are refusing to reveal their full names to civil servants. Musk’s representatives declined to provide their surnames and refused to answer any questions.

Stop Elon Musk’s illegal takeover of the government! Unelected bureaucrat Elon Musk and his pack of internet-addicted 20-somethings have seized control of the computer systems that process trillions of dollars of payments and the private information of

Elon Musk has seized control of computer systems that process trillions of dollars of payments and the private info of ALL Americans. Now he’s trying to shut down USAID.

Congress must reassert its authority NOW and stop this coup.

TRUMP WIMPS OUT // ELON'S HOSTILE TAKEOVER YouTube video by Adam Mockler

www.youtube.com/live/UIwhmLI...

America, you broke through—the media, from small outlets to large, is finally picking up on what’s happening. Legislators, judges, and attorneys general across the country are speaking out. They hear you. We love you and are honored to serve you! 🦬💚🇺🇸

Congratulations to Trump on securing a $1.3 billion border security deal from Canada.... which was already negotiated in December 2024.

“Forget the myths the media's created about the White House. The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.”

Toddlers, when they want to feel important or in charge, create drama and throw tantrums, then calm down to hear how great and amazing they are.

Donald Trump and the tariffs summed up.

Knowing the names of the an unelected oligarch’s underlings who are destroying the government from within is a crime now, apparently.
