This is the kind of excessive force case DOJ routinely prosecutes. They should open an investigation here, based on the misconduct not the victims status.

He shouldn’t have taken the post down. He’s a reporter. And he was reporting facts.

As we’ve said before now confirmed. FOIA requests reveal that DOGE employees are pulling in six-figure salaries, with many holding the title of “Expert,” a specific Office of Personnel Management (OPM) designation that pays around $190,000 a year.

Stupid beyond measure. This will cost my district countless jobs — all to pay for TRILLIONS in new tax cuts for the richest people in society. America is being ROBBED in the HEIST of the century!!!!

"WE'VE ARRANGED A society based on science and technology, in which nobody understands anything about science technology. And this combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces. Who is running the science and technology in a democracy if the people don't know anything about it?" "Science is more than a body of knowledge, it's a way of thinking. A way of skeptically interrogating the universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility. If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then we're up for grabs for the next charlatan, political or religious, who comes ambling along."

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.

Elon Musk’s staffers are trying to push into the National Gallery of Art. They recently met with the museum’s director and legal team, to question its legal status and explore ways to assert influence. One of the nation’s most respected art institutions is now in their crosshairs.

Putin’s stooge.

Opinion | The final nail in the ‘but her emails’ coffin The Trump administration’s Signal scandal puts the rhetoric about Clinton’s security lapses in perspective.

The staggering Atlantic report about the administration’s sloppy preparation for military action is hands-down the most obvious demonstration that the right’s rhetoric about Clinton’s server was bullshit.

Oh, just sit down Grandma. Spare me your “stern conversation” excuse. No one believes any of your feigned indignation anymore. You are just one of the MAGA lemmings.

Can you IMAGINE if Kamala Harris did something like this. Don't EVER say a WORD about DEI. So far we see a bunch of white male clowns making a mistake so egregious as likely to warrant a criminal investigation in a normal world. Imagine a lowly military grunt doing this.

A list of the Social Security offices across the US expected to close this year Twenty-six Social Security Administration offices across the country are expected to close this year, due to actions taken by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency.

AP publishes state-by-state list of social security offices trump is closing despite a new requirement he's imposing "that will require millions of social security recipients and applicants to visit field offices rather than interact with agency employees by phone..."

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? WHAT THE FUCK, CHUCK?

I have to say: Chuck Schumer is a weak man and a fool. This was the one cudgel Dems had. Now it's up to the courts which we new from the beginning were at best going to slow some things down. There's 18 hours left to somehow bring additional pressure to bear. It will be really hard to do that.

@schumer.senate.gov If you vote for cloture you are a stain on this country’s history that will never go away. You are willingly passing power to a tyrant in waiting, and you are a disgrace to every oath of office any senator has ever sworn. Your legacy will be one of cowardice and contempt.

AOC on senate Dems caving and backing the CR: “A wide sense of betrayal.”

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.
