The fact that every congressional Dem is not out in the streets of DC leading protests, organizing mass strikes, and holding daily press conferences for the world press to rail against these new Gestapo speaks volumes as to why we also need a new Dem party should we ever get out of this mess.

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.”
This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent.
He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.

Whenever you hear someone sneer about scientific research that seems useless to them — “they’re studying the spit of lizards?!” — remind them that’s exactly how we got Ozempic.

I wonder if we should be thinking of Musk's seizing of Treasury as an historic cyber-security breach that endangers the entire US and global financial system.
Every government and financial institution in the world should be demanding that Treasury arrest the hackers, restore integrity of US govt.

Why the water Trump ordered released in California won't help Los Angeles firefighting

DOGE personnel have completely shut down a congressionally mandated federal agency, they're pilfering through the U.S. Treasury as I type and House Democratic leadership is at an event telling the audience how much they love Israel.
These are not our leaders. Look to state and local officials.

The fact that AREN’T live shots from the press and Dem members of Congress lined up outside each of these agencies is its own indictment of their ineffectualness.
Hi all, We’re still here at OPM.
We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building.
Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.

America is increasingly run by rich people who have a strong opinion about what the law *should be* and just act accordingly *by breaking the law.*
You can't impound appropriations or stop payments on contracts because you dislike the spending.

I cannot tell you fucking dumb these statements are.
The US govt spends a ton on contractors (including NGOs) to do stuff. Anything deemed not inherently governmental *by law* is legally required to be outsourced (see Circular A-76). This is how we have structured out govt forever!

As a scholar of American institutions, I ask in genuine bemusement and with sincerity--under exactly what fucking authority are Elon Musk and his young adult hoodlums roving around Washington, DC and gaining access to secret & sensitive government data and systems?
