NEW: President Trump's policies and actions have been stopped by US courts more than 200 times.

We've been tracking lawsuits from the moment he was sworn in, identifying at least 320+ by the start of May -- and more keep coming.

A deep, deep dive into the data:

Bessent should go on tour to food pantries, homeless shelters and parking lots where people sleep in their cars and give parents advice there.
Bessent says that little girls who are sad about having fewer dolls should just have it explained to them that they will have a better life for it

Hamas killed 22-year-old Odai Naser Saadi, one of the leaders of the anti-Hamas protest movement in Gaza.

He was kidnapped, tortured for hours, and then executed. His body was dumped at the doorstep of his family’s home, with a chilling message: “This is the price for those who criticize Hamas.”

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

I'm not convinced this will happen, but if it does, I would imagine that a LOT more people will suddenly start paying attention to DOGE.
The former head of the Social Security Administration says he expects the agency to miss on some payments over the next three months, interrupting some people's benefits, for the first time in Social Security's history of eight decades: www.cnbc.com/2025/03/01/d...
Social Security has never missed a payment. DOGE actions threaten 'interruption of benefits,' ex-agency head says
New changes at the U.S. Social Security Administration may put its ability to deliver monthly benefit checks at risk, former agency head says.

New, from me: Musk is not just destroying core government functions, he is also destroying the tech capacity of government.
The people with serious tech skills who care about fixing govt have been fired. Both 18F and the US Digital Service are gone.

We’re in this mess in large part bc the average American is uninformed about fundamentals of civics, history, basic biology, economics, etc, and media and the internet are not meeting the moment.

Is anyone organizing teach-ins or similar for the general public, whether irl or online?

Stop the Wreckonciation!
When you gut a space, what you have left is a gutted space.
How careful and thoughtful are these cuts? What are you okay losing? Assistance with abusive financial companies? Medical and Science Research? Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid? And the Ripple effect?

Upholding the law and constitution is part of your job.
Just follow the law!
The American Bar Association has just called upon every attorney, regardless of their political views, to join them & stand up for the rule of law & at minimum insist that our government "follow the law."

Every lawyer has an ethical responsibility to do so.
