In the first 100 days, Musk &’Trump have knocked down the barriers intended to prevent creation of dossiers on every U.S. resident. They’re building a database of ruin: comprehensive files on everyone so they can punish those who protest.

Are all government accounts on X just troll accounts now?

This is from the official House Foreign Affairs Committee—the same committee responsible for foreign aid, global HIV/AIDS policy, security assistance, and national security. This is how they choose to represent themselves.

In 1862, a Union soldier found cigars wrapped in a piece of paper in a field of clover. The paper was a copy of Confederate Gen. Lee's invasion orders. The Southern sloppiness helped the Union stop Lee at Antietam.
It's unknown who lost the orders in the field, or if he was related to Pete Hegseth.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

Do you get it yet, law firms?

What’s happening isn’t an isolated threat to Paul Weiss or Covington or Perkins Coie.

It’s an existential threat to the independence of the legal profession.

You’re a fool if you think you won’t be next.

The $400,000,000 Trump is withholding from Columbia University is no arbitrary amount. It was the amount Donald wanted Columbia to pay him for land he owned. They refused. And Donald was furious. That was 25 years ago. And petty Donald has not forgotten.

🚨 Trump wants to take over the U.S. Postal Service.

Not only would that violate the Constitution and Postal Reorganization Act, but it would give MAGA control over mail ballots - opening mail-in voting to fraud.

Hands off our ballots, Donny.
