Did the @nytimes.com The Daily really just go through the whole episode about Trump destroying the East wing and spending ungodly amounts of money (albeit donations) without mentioning one iota that the government is shutdown and the Pres doesn't seem to care about the People?

I hope someone is taking good notes because there should be some accountability down the line when we take this shit back.
So it’s just going to be every cops everywhere now that uses excessive force upon people and violates their constitutional rights.

This is Charleston, SC and they did this for all of 10 people just exercising their first amendment.

DOGE's attacks on Soc Sec are multifaceted & include office closures, firing employees (despite staff shortages), cutting budgets & phone support, & deliberately undermining the credibility of a system almost 69M 🇺🇸's rely on.

Employees fear a total collapse.

This was an incredible episode. So thoughtfully laid out. Breaks my heart. And so sad how much of my own family I heard in this episode.
Zach and his dad both wanted to mend a rift that had grown between them for years, but they couldn't figure out how. Then, @zachmack.bsky.social's dad offered a very surprising way out.

This is truly shameful. Even China and Iran abstained. The US has put itself in the company of some of the worst states in the world - Russia, Belarus, North Korea. Hungary showing its true colours as Russia's Trojan horse in the EU as well.
The United States just voted with Russia against peace in Ukraine.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.

Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

I hope someone is paying attention and taking notes so that when the Democrats get the majority we can put things back and codify this shit so it doesn't happen again.

I just don't know how you combat the absolute stupidity of this administration. And how sane people can just blindly fall in step is atrocious.

@therickwilson.bsky.social just talked about this on @mollyjongfast.bsky.social's pod. Would this administration comply with court orders? We are about to see which path we are going to take.
The Trump admin hasn't complied with an order reinstating USAID employees put on admin. leave & granting them "complete access" to the agency's systems, a new filing says.

The govt workers' groups that sued asked for a hearing today.
