Just like 1984's Winston Smith after Big Brother declared "we have always been at war with Eastasia," GOP senators are frantically tossing their past statements down the memory hole
My senator, Roger Wicker of Mississippi deleted his tweet from this morning supporting President Zelenskyy.

This is extremely, extremely bad.

Our legal system cannot function if the govt retaliates — and if courts allow it to retaliate — against lawyers who take matters the govt disfavors.
NEW: President Trump moved Tuesday to punish a law firm for providing pro bono legal services to Jack Smith as he prepared to face a potential investigation from the Trump administration.

He is stripping security clearnces and govt funding from the firm. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

We are doomed to relive every stupid thing about the 80s.

Only this it’s not just the mistakes of the 1980s corporate greed. It’s also the 1880s post reconstruction environment, and the 1780s love of slavery. :(

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

DOD 40% BUDGET CUT, process thoughts: Telling the Services to plan a massive cut in one week with neither one's Pentagon strategy & budget appointees in place nor detailed planning guidance out (I assume) is not setting up for success, and more likely to facilitate Service preferences 1/
Hegseth orders military to draw up plans for 40% total budget cuts over the next fives years, 8% per year. Exponentially worse than sequestration that crippled the military in 2011. wapo.st/4hHV3Yt
Trump administration orders Pentagon to plan for sweeping budget cuts
The Trump administration directive exempts a handful of programs, including Trump’s expanded military mission along the U.S.-Mexico border.

I don’t really understand how anyone at this point can say the U.S. constitution is still in effect
BREAKING

Federal Judge Amy Berman Jackson just issued an order preventing the Trump administration from:

1. Deleting CFPB data

2. Firing CFPB employees

3. Transferring money from CFPB's reserve fund

Right after the order was issued, nearly all CFPB employees were placed on administrative leave

The president is literally wielding the threat of imprisonment over the mayor of America's largest city to keep him in line. What happens if it's a governor or a Democratic leader in Congress next?
Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges.

This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

This is another example of the thing I wrote about last night. The problem here isn't with the Constitution, which says very plainly that this bullshit is illegal. The problem is that the people who matter just don't care about fidelity to the Constitution anymore

Please remember something: if you had said a year ago that Trump would do even a fraction of these things, you would have been mocked, belittled, accused of “Trump derangement syndrome,” and dismissed by certain people.

Identify those people and block and shun them.
