immensely quotable story about the TIP TRUCK www.niemanlab.org/2025/03/prop...
ProPublica wanted to find more sources in the federal government. So it brought a truck.
“It's funny how you can know nothing about something like LED billboard trucks and then suddenly become an expert in them."

Farmer Fred is especially pissed about this. Do you want blight resistant crops? Do you eat? A small office of the USDA maintains the genetic biodiversity of crops from apples to wheat, protecting billions of dollars in agricultural production around the world. Doge is not smart or efficient. .
This should be a much, much bigger story.
And once again I tell you:
Their singular mission is to decimate everyone but them.

This is problematic & weaponizes sanctions against attorneys litigating against the federal government.
I’ve had attorneys try to use sanctions as an intimidation tactic under the guise that my clients’ lawsuits are frivolous. I fought back and won each time.

It’s a long “memorandum,” but it’s essentially telling Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem to go after lawyers who challenge the federal government — which is many lawyer’s jobs.
It’s basically a catch-all “let’s Paul Weiss whoever pisses us off” memo.

I've cossed more international borders than most, been through checkpoints and searches and have trained human rights activists, journalists and others in staying safe in repressive regimes. In the past few days I've provided some friends with travel advice for no particular reason; here's a thread:

The House just voted that “each day for the remainder of the 119th Congress shall not constitute a calendar day for purposes of section 202 of the National Emergencies Act.” A day is not a day. Lewis Carroll, George Orwell, and Franz Kafka must all be chuckling — or weeping.

Call your senators and tell them they NEED to stand up for our rights. A government shutdown is a small price to pay for our freedom.

Federal marshals forced entry into the US African Development Foundation and escorted Musk staffers inside, after agency employees resisted their entry. Once inside, they changed the federal agency’s locks. Musk staffers were seen plugging in an external hard drive and going through everything.

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.
