Every major talent that works for ABC and Disney should refuse to show up for work until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated.
Marvel movies need to shutdown. Ditto the sitcoms.

What I feared most when learning about DOGE's access to gov't systems. Goal was never efficiency, it was getting their dirty, crooked hands on data.
A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data
A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

No one's blaming Democrats for causing this crisis, but yes, many of them are failing to meet this moment.
One Democratic senator could bring the chamber to a halt. House Dems can go to fed agencies being gutted by Musk with cameras in tow. Governors can push back. State AGs can bring lawsuits.

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive):
1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment*
2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything
3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can
4. Citizens march en mass

Docket Text
01/11/2025
691
PAPERLESS ORDER as to Waltine Nauta, Carlos De Oliveira. On or before 10 a.m. on January 12, 2025, the United States shall file a supplement to its Opposition to Defendants' Joint Motion for Further Stay in Light of Ongoing Appellate Proceedings 690. The supplement shall indicate whether Volume One of the Final Report directly or indirectly refers, relies, or bears in any respect upon any evidence or argument relevant to any of the charges alleged against Defendants Nauta and De Oliveira in this case. If Volume One contains any of the foregoing, understood liberally, the United States shall so indicate in its public Notice and thereafter file a corresponding sealed, non-ex parte supplement with particularized details, by the same deadline. The Court understands the United States' representation that Volume One does not
"mention Defendants Nauta and De Oliveira or their conduct at issue in this case" [690-2 p. 22]. The Court is also aware of Defendants' belief that Volume One "bears on this pending criminal case" [689 p. 2 n. 1]. The following motions remain pending in this Court and have not been ruled upon: Joint Emergency Motion as to Defendants Nauta and De Oliveira 679; Motion to Intervene and/or Participate as Amicus Curiae by President-Elect Donald J.
Trump 681; and Defendants' Joint Motion for Further Stay as to Pending Motion for Injunctive Relief 689. Signed by Judge Aileen M. Cannon on 1/11/2025.
