Andrea for Missing

The president is saying that once the administration gets people outside our borders it can do anything to them—including torture and death—and they can’t be stopped or held accountable.

NEW 🧵

The number of people travelling from Europe to the US in recent weeks has plummeted by as much as 35%, as travellers have cancelled plans in response to Trump’s policies and rhetoric, and horror stories from the border.

Missing from this idiotic rant is the fact that the states DO RUN their own public education. Ed Dept mostly tries to make sure there's no racist BS (civil rights enforcement) and funding support for disadvantaged/disables kids, and THAT'S why they want it killed.

‘It’s a Heist’: Real Federal Auditors Are Horrified by DOGE WIRED talked to actual federal auditors about how government auditing works—and how DOGE is doing the opposite.

DOGE has spent the last six weeks on a supposed crusade to audit the government and stop fraud, waste, and abuse.

But two federal auditors with years of experience say that DOGE’s actions are the furthest thing from what an actual audit looks like.

This is a really good video

A bunch of twenty something DOGE staffers are deciding that phone support for the Social Security Admin is unnecessary.

This will be the first step to cuts & skipped checks. If they can silence those with complaints & missing checks they can ignore them.

New: The Trump admin has been ordered by chief US district judge James Boasberg to show up to a 4p ET hearing today and clarify whether they defied his court order compelling the return of deportation flights of suspected Venezuelan gang members

Today Donald Trump attacked me by name in a speech at the Department of Justice. Of course I am worried, but courage comes from acting in spite of being worried. I have made my choice: I will continue to speak out, I will continue to litigate, I will continue to stand tall.

I will never bow down.

This would be true if Donald did nothing to alter the course of Biden's economy. But Donald has shocked & upended the economy as well as very other part of our government. That's not what Biden left behind. That's all Donald. youtu.be/Zpv8tcr9hPM

Texas cities run short of MMR vaccine as measles outbreak drives demand Pharmacies are struggling with supplies as fatal outbreak expands and health secretary sows disinformation

Democrats Sue Trump Over Attempt to Control Independent Election Agency Read more here.

The lawsuit, filed by Elias Law Group on behalf of the three national Democratic committees, challenges an expansive executive order Trump issued earlier this month that would give him unprecedented power over key regulatory agencies that were designed to operate without direct White House control.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

"If we reward Putin now, what do you think the people in Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Estonia, Poland are gonna say? If he [Putin] goes through Ukraine, he's going straight into Poland.

Massive encroachment by Jeff Bezos into The Washington Post’s opinion section today - makes clear dissenting views will not be published or tolerated there I still have not felt encroachment on my journalism on the news side of coverage, but if Bezos tries interfering with the news side I will be quitting immediately and letting you know

Brave to @jeffstein.bsky.social, WaPo's chief economics correspondent, for not wasting any time in stating what must be stated. Hopefully the first of many.

“Fraud” is a crime. We’re still waiting for all the arrests. ⏰

No doubt last night’s purge reflects racism and misogyny.

But those wrongs are just a cover for the far more serious evils and dangers that exist here.

Millions of dead people are not on social security. That is a lie.

But they won’t stop telling it.

So, they are
- illegally dismantling US govt, disabling Congress
- burning our alliances, turning US into global pariah
- reigniting inflation, exploding the deficit, unraveling US public health system
- putting backdoors into Treasury
This feels more like an attack on the US than a new government.

The community note 🤌😘

This is fascism.

This was always Trump’s plan.

Art of the Steal.

Justice officials tell prosecutors to drop charges against N.Y. Mayor Eric Adams A top Justice official said New York Mayor Eric Adams should not have to face trial given his reelection campaign and the fight against crime and illegal immigration.

This is — literally — unheard of in federal prosecutions.

We can’t prosecute him because he’s a candidate for office? Wow.

Blumenthal: "It would be one thing if we had some disinterested, impartial business person -- highly successful -- looking at ways to make our govt more efficient and save money. That's not what's happening here. Elon Musk is doing a power grab & information heist, the biggest in American history"

THAT’S. NOT. THE. POINT !

The POINT is that CONGRESS appropriates the money. You think it’s being spent on the wrong things or that there is fraud YOU. TAKE. IT. UP. WITH. CONGRESS.

I’m surprised our members of Congress are so calm about being made redundant💁🏻
