Last week, a federal judge in Texas ruled to eliminate a minimum staffing standard for nursing homes. But, as @ninakohn.bsky.social of @syracuselaw.bsky.social writes, states have quite a bit of power to regulate the industry on their own. Read more here: petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/04/16/s...

New from me: DOGE just put the entire staff on leave at the federal agency that coordinates US homelessness response.

The agency's new leader is the same DOGE software engineer who now serves as the director of the US Institute for Peace: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
DOGE Places Entire Staff of Federal Homelessness Agency on Leave

Bone chilling.

A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States.

The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0.

1/ You may not think this case means anything to you. But let me tell you why it does.

Holy shit. Video posted by President Bukele’s team on X shows the moments before his press conference with Trump in which Trump tells him: “We want to do homegrown criminals next. You gotta build about five more places.”

Spoiler: It is absolutely market manipulation
Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

One man just wiped out $10 trillion in wealth, is destroying centuries-old legal protections, and seems determined to unravel humanity’s greatest public health achievement. In 3 months.

I don’t know how we get out of this. But if we do, one person can never have that kind of power again.

It’s still hard to believe the simple fact that this is all self-imposed. Everything that’s happening right now wasn’t the result of some foreign adversary destroying the country. We did this all to ourselves by electing the dumbest motherfucker to ever rule a nation.

An FDA worker confirms what I've seen out there.

CDC's entire FOIA office is gone.

The FDA's communications and web office were cut.

"The FDA as we know it is gone."

I’ve argued for two months that we would clearly label DOGE a junta or mercenaries if they were at work overseas. Read this list and tell me how this isn’t an extralegal junta mercenary army?
Here are four ways that DOGE, as a dark network, is amassing power while avoiding accountability

Ontario Premier Doug Ford cancels Elon Musk’s Starlink contract and bans all US companies from government contracts:

“It’s done, it’s gone... We won’t award contracts to people who enable and encourage economic attacks on our province and our country.”

"The public is going to suffer terribly as a result of this," the source wrote to NPR. "Local field offices will close, hold times will increase, and people will be sicker, hungry, or die when checks don't arrive or a disability hearing is delayed just one month too late."

This is a good summary of what the rats are chewing on
Gift link.

A small unelected, secretive crew now has free access to sensitive private data of everyone.

And Musk is already publicly targeting family members of judges who rule against the administration.

If this isn’t ringing alarm bells, I don’t know what would.
