We should mandate a work requirement for House Republicans to get their health care. How about they have to work at least one week a month to keep their government health insurance?

When the moment came, Harvard didn’t hedge or flinch—it stood up. A reminder that integrity isn’t complicated, it’s just rare.

This, in a nutshell, is why the Justice Department remains independent from the White House when it comes to directing criminal prosecution. A country that fails to take to heart the lessons of Watergate ends up with Trump.

I agree that this is the logical endpoint, but it is also likely its Kryptonite because then it makes our courts impotent. Courts don’t like giving up their power (see post 9/11). So the endgame, if the courts want to stay relevant, is to say the whole thing is unconstitutional from the jump

20 important lessons

There’s a special place in HELL for anyone who stands before the Supreme Court and argues that a man they wrongfully sent to an El Salvadorian death camp should stay there.

Exactly

Followed all and reposted. Thank you, Foxy!! 🌺

The path to GOP stupidity is now complete.

Democracy isn’t dying in darkness it’s being dismantled at the hands of the Supreme Court of North Carolina. @allisonjriggs.bsky.social won this election fair and square back in November. Her opponent is a petulant Confederate cosplayer who can’t handle losing. Concede Jefferson Griffin.

Good way to see the current tariffs, as of literally today, is no tariffs on high value add manufactured goods marketed to middle and upper middle classes. Massive tariffs for cheap consumer items which amount to the biggest economic privilege of working class/middle class life in US.

You don’t have to agree with someone’s views to defend their right to say it. This is what authoritarian regimes do, not us.

If this ruling stands, it’s not just the end of a legal case, it’s the end to free speech.

Louisiana researchers leave labs to rally for science at State Capitol  • Louisiana Illuminator Louisiana scientists gathered for a rally at the State Capitol to protest the Trump administration’s proposed research funding cuts.

No mention of this on mainstream media!

Van Hollen: "Can you imagine FDR in the middle of WW2 saying to Churchill, 'you know, we're not going to continue to help you until you turn over half of your coal and mineral reserves.' That's not how you behave when you want to support a friend who's under attack by an authoritarian like Putin."

A time for ‘a look inward’, if ever there was one…👇

Thanks Canada, for a reminder that needs to be said, out loud!

Introspection. Defined. ✨

Why isn’t DOGE looking at the budget instead of our actual tax dollars? There is no legitimate reason for him to have access to our data or our money!

Arrest Musk for the largest data breach in US history! Impeach the Secretary of Treasury!

Over 1,000 EPA Workers on Climate Change and More Could Be Fired ‘Immediately’ A spokeswoman for Lee Zeldin, the new head of the agency, said the goal was to create an “effective and efficient” federal work force.

"At 9:21 a.m. on Monday, E.P.A. employees received another email notifying them of that the agencywide intranet was out of service. Without the internal agency network, employees cannot access documents or other information needed for their jobs." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/c...

Irony is dead in this moment along with common sense. Trump who squawked “but her emails” incessantly, let Musk (unelected/not a govt employee) send his crew of kids in to review classified information & plug devices of unknown origin into the government computer system, compromising everything.

This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Hostile Takeover “Department of Government Efficiency” Hijacks The Federal Government

“Make no mistake, what’s happening right now is a hostile takeover of the federal government by a private agency operating with a broad mandate and no concerns for the stability of the United States or the interests of the average American.”

This guy should have no role in running our government. We didn’t elect him. He’s not a gov’t employee who is accountable. He hasn’t taken an oath to uphold the constitution or work on behalf of the American people. He’s in it for himself not for us.

February 2, 2025 Billionaire Elon Musk’s team yesterday took control of the Treasury’s payment system, thus essentially gaining access to the checkbook with which the United States handles about $6 trillion annually a...

It is important that we factually and unemotionally let every person we know, especially those who voted for Trump, that Elon Musk now has access to their social security numbers, bank accounts, and routing numbers.

No one voted for this.
