Tbh I think Trump played us again. I see/hear folks talking about pencils and recessions and and not following the constitution and small biz. Friends, one of these threats is bigger than the others. Focus.

Musk groups are up to $13 million to a guy who supports an 1849 abortion law- when women couldn’t vote. And they’re giving out $100 checks to influence people

Wisconsin-you have the chance to show that money is not power and that billionaires don’t get to decide elections

Musk and Trump ratchet up involvement in Wisconsin Supreme Court race
The court is expected to decide the future of abortion in the state and could redraw a congressional map that has given Republicans six of the state’s eight seats.

If a law firm won't risk everything to defend itself, what makes you think it will risk anything to defend you?

My advice: Find a law firm that will not back down and will never bend a knee.

Based on this fast and excellent WaPo reporting, these four guys are not gang members, just Venezuelan dads who came to the US to work. They’re now being paraded in shackles in El Salvador www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...
For four Venezuelan friends, Alien Enemies Act cuts short an American dream
President Donald Trump used the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelans accused of being gang members. Relatives of men sent to El Salvador deny the allegation.

Yep they knew. Heinous fucks. Please listen to my interview on @onwithkaraswisher.bsky.social with the mother of the 14 year old boy who did just this after being obviously and repeatedly manipulated by a chatbot (link below)
NEW: Months before Google was accused in a lawsuit of facilitating the suicide of a teen user of the Google-tied chatbot startup CharacterAI, researchers at Google DeepMind warned in a paper that chatbots could target minors and manipulate vulnerable users into suicide.

Rubio’s a dismal little collaborator - easy to mock as a loathsome soulless tool in the Zelensky meeting - but for his hand as USAID hatchet man alone he’s embarked on a major career as a full on feral mass killer.
There's much more in this piece abt Marco Rubio getting USAID contractors robbed, but he also cut off USAID Inspector General's phone.

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 you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.

It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.

They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.

I’m happy to invest and/or help

Kristi Noem told attendees at a CPAC dinner Friday that Trump directed her to launch a taxpayer-funded ad campaign and demanded she thank him in the ads.

No other outlet bothered to write about this, despite the admin blowing up to $200M on these ads

This was the moment, just over a month ago, when the ADL could've put an end to Republicans doing Nazi salutes. They didn't. They chose instead to provide cover by calling it "an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm." Now the sieg heil salute has been normalized.

The ADL literally had ONE JOB.

All they ever do is make places unsafe for everyone.

That's it.

And if you think that your safe because you fit the stated DEMO, you ARE wrong.

Because this shit is just coded crap to incite bigots and bullies to intimidate and harass anyone they want.
