MSNBC is off my list. It is cowering in fear. Matthew Dowd is one of the few good conservative analysts who saw the light. They fired him over a comment about Charlie Kirk.

. @msnbc.com has made a number of bad decisions in the last year. They're still the only news that doesn't make me want to smash my TV. If they start going the way of all the other networks, there'll be nothing left to watch. But Matthew Dowd only stated the obvious, and IDK why it's controversial.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul says she's looking to redraw the state's legislative lines in response to the Texas gerrymander โ€” even going so far as to suggest amending the state constitution to move up the timeline.

Trump Blasted After Military Scrubs WWII Navajo Code Talkers From Websites Due To 'DEI' You can scrub them from your websites, Donald, but they will never be forgotten.

They will never be forgotten Donald, no matter how hard you try.

If the Supreme Court ultimately agrees with what the gov't is arguing today, that the President has broad Article II powers that would permit it to deport people & there can be no judicial review, then literally no one is safe.

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was sentenced to 22 years for his crimes on Jan 6

Trump pardoned him about 3 weeks ago

He's already been arrested again

And now he's attacking the police who defended the Capitol that day

Damn @sanders.senate.gov. Just when I compliment you, I looked for info on the event. NONE HERE. But multiple posts on X.

WTF.

You obviously donโ€™t care to engage. Just look at the quality of replies you get over there.

They learned something from their first term.

The only thing that stops a bad guy with a grift is a good guy with principles.

So this time they're firing all the good guys with principles.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

The MAGA regime has opened a criminal investigation into Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia for criticizing Nazi Musk and Pam Bondi has deleted a DOJ database that tracks police misconduct, a database created after the murder of George Floyd.

This is what a fascist state looks like.

Rooting Against Trumpโ€™s America We should take inspiration from opponents to this fascist regime, wherever in the world we find them

โ€œThereโ€™s the America I know and loveโ€”and then thereโ€™s Trumpโ€™s America. I will keep looking for signs of opposition, from wherever in the world there are pro-democracy humans who see and reject whatโ€™s happening here.โ€

Trump administrationโ€™s mass firings could leave federal government with โ€˜monumentalโ€™ bill, say experts โ€” Guardian US Lawyer says โ€˜astoundingโ€™ purge will cost government, after workers with positive reviews cut due to โ€˜poor performanceโ€™

This is what happens when you put an arrogant megalomaniac (Trump or Elon-take your pick) in charge

โ€œThese firings..will result in..former federal employees being owed back pay, plus interest, plus benefits, plus attorneys fees..When the bill comes it will be monumentalโ€

Jamie Raskin:

"Given that I was marching at age 3, you know Iโ€™m not letting any coup-plotting, election-denying, insurrection-supplying autocrat, kleptocracy, plutocrat or theocrat, or any techno-feudalist Silicon Valley broligarchs aspiring dictator, turn me around now.โ€

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.

Elon Muskโ€™s Blitz Shakes U.S. Government as He Sweeps Through Agencies The billionaire is creating major upheaval as his team sweeps through agencies, in what has been an extraordinary flexing of power by a private individual.

What this long and detailed NYT piece calmly calls an โ€œextraordinary flexing of power by a private individualโ€ is in fact a blatantly unconstitutional usurpation of Congressโ€™s Article I powers and delegation of the Presidentโ€™s Article II duties.
