But will they? Will there be the leadership needed to stand up and actually do something rather than count reasons they can't? The Republicans in power have rolled over and democratic minority haven't votes enough to countermand the spinelessness.

The FBI has a massive opportunity to be the hero of this American story.

Glad to see someone taking some action since it looks like congress is on vacation. No longer the nations purse I guess. I thought they’d fight harder to hang on to at least some of their power. What a bunch of spineless bootlicking pushovers

I was just thinking the same thing. This is the most disappointing cult of villains I’ve ever seen.

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.

Is the U.S. MILITARY, (All branches) REQUIRED to comply with the orders of a despotic regime and his illegitimate minions, or can they just take them down and lock them up in jail?

We could’ve had Tim 😭

🚨BREAKING: Federal judge BLOCKS Trump spending freeze. A big victory for @democracyforward.bsky.social and their clients. Also a win for democracy and the rule of law.

He not trying to purposely kill the Mexican economy… it’s always been on the edge of failure anyway.
I think that is “Don’t let yesterday take up too much of today.”

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out.

This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

And me, the Grammys are a commercial venture, but there should be guardrails. @kaseymusgraves is the real deal

Beyonce winning Best Country Album at the Grammys gonna piss off allll the right people.

As China continues to give money and projects to countries to gain influence, we are shutting down our agencies that do that.

China is eating our lunch and Trump is the reason. Sorry folks, if you don’t see it you don’t understand how the world works. Period

You could have prevented this a long time ago. Speaking out now is too little too late. You have destroyed your legacy because you are every bit responsible for everything that is happening.

Mitch McConnell: Tariffs "will drive the cost of everything up. In other words, it will be paid for by American consumers. I mean, why would you want to get in a fight with your allies over this?"

take over Europe? he's what 3-4 years into a war with ONE European country and has already lost close to 1Million soldiers and his army is reduced to using equipment from WWII- and this fucker thinks he will have the means to take over Europe?

Don't worry. All our allies hate us now, but Vladimir Putin is giddy that Trump is in charge and he is already manipulating him into starting a clash with NATO so he can take over Europe.

Trump's felon status is an easily proved fact. His insurrection, adulteries, threats to his enemies, utter stupidity (tariffs, giant water spigots, a million other examples) are all easily proved facts. Much of the country doesn't seem to care, and the press yawned even before they were cowed.

How is Trump hoping to improve air safety?!

That's what I heard tech people say yesterday on CNN. I used to work at a data center years ago in Canada and it was same. Old DOS system that ran everything in the provincial government. The techies told me that was why they couldn't update to new stuff. It would crash.

It is astonishing that mainstream media is covering this like it is a shruggie vibe 🤷‍♂️

incompetent imbecile sabotages California’s water supply millions of gallons gone, for a pointless photo-op

That’s something that doesn’t make sense and that executive order imaginary crap doesn’t make sense. People caught on words and laws but unable to understand the difference between an immediate action and obeying nonsense.

RW supports Trump to secure wins in their personal and ideological interests. Trump is just a con man so as long as he can enrich himself and stay out of jail, cool. However, did Elon fool them all? Elon may sit atop the throne in the end and as long as Trump can count his bitcoins, so be it.

What the right wing REALLY means:

No we have not. But we’ve waited till it’s nearly midnight. Protests are beginning nationwide. They won’t be particularly helpful at the beginning, but as the pain from Trump grows, their ranks will swell. We ARE complacent. But I’m sure we’re not dead.

I think Americans, blessed with relatively stable government for a long time, assume there is someone, some adult, who will step in and make things right before the President does anything REALLY bad.

There’s not.

Empire comes home, again: when Flynn was in army intel and the DIA, the GWOT was working hard on criminalizing religious charities and money transfer networks. I'm sure that's the analogy he's thinking of when he talks about religion covering for money laundering.

Musk saying he’s shutting down illegal money launderers and it’s Lutheran Social Services

Lutheran Social Services is one of the largest employers in South Dakota, operating senior living facilities across the state. Republicans are shutting it down

Perhaps more concerning is Mike Flynn, known foreign asset, having access to this data?
