Bob Weir helped create the soundtrack of our lives — music about community, freedom, and finding your people.

Thinking of his loved ones and everyone who loves the Grateful Dead, the last great American adventure.

Thanks to a FOIAed spreadsheet from @jasonleopold.bsky.social at www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet..., I have updated the DOGE Tracker with a lot more info on who was getting paid.

The myth of everybody working for free is a lie. Many were appointed GS-15 max salary
Data Reveals Details About DOGE, Government Hiring in 2025
The IRS hired 1,313 employees in January 2025. Over the next two months the agency laid off 11,000 workers, or about 11% of its workforce. Additionally, the data identifies employees tied to DOGE.

This is exactly right.

They haven't settled for dim brutes who blindly follow orders regardless of the law. That's what they want. That's what they got. There's no reforming or improving it now.

Democrats need to investigate, defund, and ultimately disband the president's brownshirt brigade.
People might argue that ICE is not recruiting quality agents.

But I would insist that they are in fact successfully recruiting the exact sort of person needed to carry out the mission: reactionary, angry, violent people who don’t believe in democracy.

This, by the way, is one of the places the political push for "public syllabi" goes: Even more people who literally do not understand what they're trying to evaluate almost certainly using LLM's to ask "is this stuff transgender or DEI" & then making administrative decisions based on that output.

The banning stems from excerpts from Plato’s Aristophanes’ Myth of the Split Humans and Diotima’s Ladder of Love.

A friend of mine is a cop who was once run over by a suspect’s car. I texted him and asked him to tell me that story again and if he’d mind sharing what he thought about the killing of Renee Good. He gave me permission to share with you what he texted back.

During my visit to the Whipple Detention Center today, armed agents confronted us, ICE sprayed peaceful protesters and press with pepper spray and I was denied my legal right to conduct official oversight.

This is Donald Trump’s America. And I’m not done fighting.

Trump sent thousands of armed federal officers into our state, and it took just one day for them to kill someone.

Now he wants nothing more than to see chaos distract from that horrific action.

Don’t give him what he wants.

When Donald Trump said releasing the Epstein files “…would hurt my friends.” He was talking about himself. It would hurt him. He has no friends. He never has. And, he never will.

Today I attempted to exercise my Congressional right to conduct oversight on the Whipple ICE detention center in Minnesota.

When I told them their refusal to let me in was illegal, they said “we don’t care.”

Trump’s ICE is lawless. I won’t stop pushing for answers for Minnesotans.

I was just denied access to the ICE processing center at the Whipple Building.

Members of Congress have a legal right and constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight where people are being detained.

The public deserves to know what is taking place in ICE facilities.
JUST NOW: Huge mass of agents in a standoff, weapons drawn as Reps. Ilhan Omar, Angie Craig, and Kelly Morrison attempt to conduct congressional oversight at the Whipple Building, which has been HQ for thousands of ICE agents.

Frey: "An individual from a car that was in the middle of a street was detained. ICE left the car in the middle of the street. The car wasn't even in park, so you got it just rolling down the street w/nobody in it. It could've hit anybody, including my own family. This is not about safety"

Kelly Morrison on a Twin Cities ICE facility she & other members of Congress tried to visit: "We were told to leave. We met with 2 of the commanding officers & they told us the reason we were not able to stay & meet with detainees is because the funding for ICE came from the 'Big Beautiful Bill.'"
