Thank you @booker.senate.gov

If other Senators come to support Cory Booker and extend this effort indefinitely

Democrats can put a stop to Trump and Musk-at least temporarily

And that could save thousands of lives

THIS is the kind of fight we want from Democrats @schumer.senate.gov

If you can't do it

Get out of the way

An ‘Administrative Error’ Sends a Maryland Father to a Salvadoran Prison The Trump administration says it mistakenly deported an immigrant with protected status but that courts are powerless to order his return.

Everyone involved in the Alien Enemies Act "deportations" (kidnapping) is a depraved monster. This poor man and his family, my god.

Thank you Cory Booker!

Sen. Cory Booker is putting his body on the line, refusing to let the Senate carry on like democracy isn’t under siege. 👏 Billionaires are staging a hostile takeover, & too many are asleep at the wheel.

👀 We see who’s fighting & who’s complicit.

A very old Soviet joke, from an especially dark time:

Foxes are fleeing the USSR in droves.
Q: Why are you running away?
Fox: The Soviets passed a new law that they’re going to arrest all camels.
Q: But you’re foxes!
Fox: Yeah, why don’t *you* try proving to the NKVD that you’re not a camel.

The Smithsonian is not overseen by the executive branch. Settled law. He doesn’t even appoint people. More lawsuits will follow.

Tell your Democratic senators not to join Schumer’s surrender: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

No Dem Senator has to follow Schumer here. This is a weak stategic move driven by fear and learned helplessness. Don't follow him. He's leading the party into irrelevance and helping Trump and Musk in the process.

Call your Dem Senators and ask them not to join Schumer's surrender tomorrow.

A top Democratic congressman goes off during a DOGE hearing and calls out Elon for trying to cut Social Security.

More of this please.

Armored Ambulances for Ukrainian Medics Please join in to help!

Why are we insisting Ukraine give up proceeds from minerals to repay and rebuild instead of demanding resources from Russia, who invaded Ukraine. What planet are we on again?

They’re called conflicts of interest one day, but corruption the next

February 22, 2025 Last night’s Friday Night News Dump was a doozy: Trump has purged the country’s military leadership.

February 22, 2025

I'm about to drop a piece at The Atlantic on this Pentagon purge. As I warned, Trump is capturing Justice, Intelligence, the military. This is praetorianism, pure and simple.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

NOAA is reportedly on the DOGE chopping block.

The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US.

A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans.

Again, this isn't about efficiency.

A Wannabe Authoritarian Hard At Work We are living through the playbook

The things Trump is doing make perfect sense if you ignore the traditions of the American presidency and understand that Trump is a wannabe authoritarian.

CDC Data Are Disappearing The agency has already removed scientific data from public view. More could follow.

This is crucial reporting from @katherinejwu.com.

Among the data being scrubbed is “the agency’s AtlasPlus tool, which contains nearly 20 years of CDC surveillance data on HIV, hepatitis, sexually transmitted infections, and tuberculosis…”
