Trump Says He’s Revoking Biden’s Security Clearance The president made clear that he was acting in retaliation for his predecessor’s pulling of his security clearance shortly after the Jan. 6 riot.

Breaking News: President Trump said he would revoke Joe Biden’s security clearances in retaliation for having his own pulled after the Jan. 6 riot.

We tried to print the bracket on the @unrivaledwbb.bsky.social site but the background was super dark, so you won't be able to see what you filled in.

Thankfully super slice Joey Maldonado is here to save the day. Better version to print and share!

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Well played, President Claudia Sheinbaum, for committing troops already at the border since 2021, knowing perfectly well President Man Baby would have no idea and take it as a win.

I urge Minnesotans who work for the federal government to be extremely cautious when it comes to Trump's buyout offer. The benefits being offered are not guaranteed.

I recommend federal employees listen to the guidance of their unions on this matter.

California DOE fires back against Trump's executive order:

"It does nothing"

"It is against federal law for the White House to dictate what educators can and cannot teach"

Will not comply.

Exclusive: Musk aides lock government workers out of computer systems at US agency, sources say Aides to Elon Musk charged with running the U.S. government human resources agency have locked career civil servants out of computer systems that contain the personal data of millions of federal employees, according to two agency officials.

This is a hostile takeover of the federal government by a private citizen of unlimited means with no restrictions and no transparency. Welcome to the Deep State www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...

Everyone seems to be framing Trump's freeze on federal grants as a Constitutional fight over powers of the purse & whether presidents can disregard Congressional appropriations. It is that. But also at stake is the fundamental validity of government contracts! I see much less discussion on this... 🧡

I am begging Democratic lawmakers to stop solely pointing out the obvious problems and start publicly talking about how to address them.

We know our democracy is unstable and unhealthy. What are you gonna do about it?

Cease the platitudes and broad statements. Get specific and talk about actions.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.

Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

β€œDo you think people who take anti-depressants are dangerous?"

The answer is no. Another of RFK Jr’s fringe ideas.

The HHS Secretary should be fighting the stigma around mental health not fanning the flames of conspiracy theories.

Trump will sign orders today defining sex and ending DEI programs, official says

Trump will sign an executive order on Monday that says it's the policy of the United States to recognize two biologically distinct sexes, one of many executive actions the incoming administration plan to take, an incoming White House official told reporters on a preview conference call.

Donald Trump truth social post: "A totally Fake poll that caused great distrust and uncertainty at a very critical time. She knew exactly what she was doing. Thank you to the GREAT PEOPLE OF IOWA for giving me such a record breaking vote, despite possible ELECTION FRAUD by Ann Selzer and the now discredited β€œnewspaper” for which she works. An investigation is fully called for!"

Investigating people for polls you don't like doesn't seem particularly free speechy.

"Feral and not trained" emus Thelma and Louise on the loose in South Carolina as state's monkey search continues Police in Horry County, South Carolina, said this week that they are searching for two missing emus that have been evading capture for months: "We are not emu-sed."

This is fantastic…

Starting to seem like the best case scenario is RFK gets the entire Trump White House exclusively drinking raw milk, and we see what happens.

Just because he isn't subject to their jurisdiction doesn't mean the House cannot release the Gaetz report. Don't let the GOP play the helpless victim here.

Tell Johnson to release the report!

Was there today for the H.R. 9495 vote (bill that would have allowed labeling nonprofits as terrorist supporting organizations).

Voted no, of course - but I do want to report that the activism DID work and persuaded members.

I thought it’d be a lonely NO vote, which we take often. It wasn’t.
