No discussion of democracy. No discussion of elections. Plenty of talk by Trump about running the country and taking the oil. Let’s not forget to thank John Roberts for his role in immunizing this international criminal.

OOPSIE: Last week, DOGE posted an online “wall of receipts,” celebrating how much it had saved by canceling federal contracts, but they had to delete the five largest items because they were simply not true. What a fraud. Read more here: bit.ly/41xnm5Y #ResistTrump

Interesting thing for the President to say about a person who, according the government’s lawyers, “has no actual or formal authority to make government decisions himself” and “only has the ability to advise the President, or communicate the President’s directives.”
The single greatest failure of the Democrats was not investigating this election.
We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.
We all see what’s happening—because we are the target! Who doesn’t know someone affected? “It’s a level of incompetence that we’ve never seen before in government. To say that Elon Musk is not running the United States right now is really a fallacy.” — @dougjones.bsky.social
Well, clearly the results of the 2024 General Election in concert with the comments & conduct of our newly elected Senate & House provides undeniable proof character, honor, moral & physical courage no longer count as attributes of a voting citizen of the USA
The UK has a shadow cabinet - political positions within the party that isn’t in power - and so should we. Plus, we need weekly press briefings led by @petebuttigieg.bsky.social on the state of the union. Business-as-usual time is over.
George Takei@georgetakei.bsky.social · 2y agoWe need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.
Every aspect of the Rubio-Lavrov talks in Riyadh is bad. Negotiating over the head of Ukraine indicates a sellout. Excluding the Europeans reveals indifference to Ukraine's future economic reconstruction (since the Europeans will pay the largest share).
Richest man in the world muses about Jailing reporters, nothing to see here
Your good new story for the day. I just received a message from a landlord in Florida. He has lost over $30,000 in rentals since Canadians began the boycott. Canadians are doing their part. LET'S TAKE THE BOYCOTT INTERNATIONAL. We invite allied nations to boycott all things American.
The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?
If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.
Trump just fired 88 employees at the Western Area Power Administration. Combined with Elon’s “buyout,” we could be looking at a 20% reduction in their workforce, crippling the western grid and leading to blackouts and power outages.
I’m sure it’s just my TDS, but I think Trump is proving to be exactly as bad as we said he was going to be and people who acted like we were hysterical should be embarrassed they didn’t do more to try and stop it.
If you’ve ever taken the oath to uphold the Constitution, this is the time to live up to it.
CISA definitely needed more courage, and less political interference, and Biden should have insisted on that, this is exactly the wrong direction! This sends invitation to foreign and domestic attackers to manipulate our elections with impunity. Both parties okay with that?
WIRED@wired.com · 2y agoLast night, we broke the news that the top US election security watchdog has frozen all of its election security work and is reviewing everything it has done to help state and local officials secure their elections for the past eight years. https://wrd.cm/3QkfGh3
Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.
Even worse incompetence: they accidentally fired, then apparently today un-fired, hundreds of the people who manage America's nuclear weapons.
A line prosecutor did this. Whats wrong with the GOP that they can’t? www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
