The Office of Management and Budget sent a notification to Congress about their intent to use research and development funds to pay members of the military, two sources with direct knowledge tell NBC News.

A spokesperson for the OMB confirmed to NBC News that it plans to use the research and development funds and that there are two years' worth of funds available within the Department of Defense.

Unconstitutionally taking money that the law says must be spent on one purpose & using it for something elseβ€”when it's to establish personalist control over the FUCKING MILITARYβ€”is about as dangerous a constitutional crisis/failure as you can imagine

"Career prosecutors determined that there was no evidence to support these charges. They were pushed out and replaced with individuals whose only qualification is their loyalty to a single man, not to the Constitution or the law. That is corruption. That is abuse of power...we must all speak out."

This arrest appears to be in direct violation of a temporary restraining order prohibiting DHS officers from arresting journalists. The officers here may well be subject to contempt of court. protectdemocracy.org/wp-content/u...

Republicans starting to draw attention to No Kings next week is interesting. To me it suggests they are worried they will be big, so they are trying to delegitimize instead of ignoring. The darker read is they are going to try to suppress them.

There was never going to be a moment when everyoneβ€”everyone in government, everyone in media, everyone in the populationβ€”was roused to action at the same time. We're turning a battleship. And Pritzker understands that.

I've said it before, but it's remarkable how quickly the feds have managed to piss away the seemingly ironclad presumption of candor & credibility they enjoyed with federal judges.

They've lied so shamelessly, flagrantly, & frequently that judges have decided not to be played for fools any more.

We are witnessing the most lawless behavior by a leader in American history, just daily, extraordinary abuses of power. National Democrats must speak out in a loud and clear voice against Trump's escalating authoritarianism. It is time now.

This is absolutely enraging. They can and will beat and detain US citizens for the crime of being Hispanic and then they’ll dump them unceremoniously hours later with no recompense.

Everyone can set aside partisanship, psychologizing, pathologizing, whatever, andβ€”I would hopeβ€”still see that it’s incredibly dangerous for a political leader to be this disconnected from the real conditions in the country.

My Ioniq 6 is yelling at me to go to the dealership a year in…to get the tires rotated. I will, but that will likely be the sum total of maintenance during my lease.
