There are no words for the disgust I have at someone visiting a concentration camp and then promoting the party that is the modern inheritor of the Nazi party.

Hi Bluesky! Glad to be here.

Marbury v Madison is a seminal case from 1803 that holds that the federal courts must determine the constitutionality of the actions of the other two branches of government. Hope that helps, Stephen.

1,100+ personnel with the EPA are removing debris and hazardous materials from properties impacted by the Los Angeles wildfires.

This morning, I met with both Democratic and Republican members of Congress to secure expedited disaster aid to recover and rebuild from the Los Angeles firestorms.

Our nation is better off when we hold together and support our fellow Americans in times of crisis.

Marco Rubio empowers State Department official Pete Marocco to run USAID Marocco held several national security positions during the first Trump administration, including at USAID, where he tried to consolidate power and slash funding.

The guy overseeing USAID was identified two years ago as a Jan. 6 participant who entered the Capitol through a broken window.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Looks like somebody has ADS: Acosta Derangement Syndrome.

Which is not to say the packaging is irrelevant--they'll ultimately try to make good on their racist, eliminationist promises and that's threaded within their corrupt profiteering.

Undersold fact about McCarthyism and the post-war purges of the federal government is it was a strategy for hollowing out the infrastructure of the New Deal and making way for privatization. The anti-DEI/anti-trans aspects are packing for this ransacking, akin to anti-communist/anti-gay purges then

Jim Acosta is better than CNN.

Typo: Attorneys GENERAL

Yesterday, 19 Republican AGs demanded Costco repeal DEI, giving the company 30 days to respond.

"[A] democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is Fascism—ownership of Government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power." - FDR (1938)

The Gulf of America is the chasm between our sentient plurality who still value the rights and responsibilities required of a republic's citizens and the slavish, hatemongering morons who have embraced our current misrule.

The Gulf of Mexico remains a body of water.

If you forgive or pretend to forget anything that happens now and from this moment forward, you are complicit. And if you are ready or quick to forgive anyone who chooses to be complicit, your soul is stained as well.

Remember this is how it began.

Trump/Musk/MAGA/DOGE are not trying to make NIH more efficient, they’re trying to break public health, undermine science, attack academia, and destroy the broader societal role of expert knowledge.

Appeasement doesn’t work. And pretending it’s a good faith efficiency effort just helps them sell it.

I think @mcuban.bsky.social has used his big platform positively, and it’s nice to see one public-facing billionaire not rushing to prostrate before Trump to grab a piece of the corruption.

But they’re going after NIH because they’re anti-science. Offering efficiency suggestions won’t counter that.

The govt is not a company. Companies seek their own expansion in pursuit of profit for a relatively small number of shareholders.

By winning a presidential election, someone becomes a public servant. They do not "acquire" the country.

DOGE's goal is not efficiency. Pretending it is doesn't help.

The thing on the left is from fact-check.org

How it started. How it’s going.

They're trying to put me out of business

Trump ousts at least 14 independent inspectors general in late-night purge The dismissals appeared to violate federal law, which requires Congress to receive 30 days’ notice of any intent to fire a Senate-confirmed inspector general.

In the middle of the night, Trump unlawfully fired a dozen Inspectors General across government agencies in a chilling purge to avoid all accountability.

The goal is blind loyalty over independence.

We can and must investigate. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Thank you, President Trump, for coming to Los Angeles and standing with Californians impacted by these firestorms that have devastated our communities.

I look forward to working together to help Southern California recover and rebuild.
