Trump is breaking the law and ignoring the Constitution.

We don’t need to dress it up, we don’t need to link it to big explainers why that’s bad. Everyone knows that breaking the law and ignoring the Constitution is bad.

If the Democrats bail out Mike Johnson on ANY spending bill, they deserve the utter political destruction coming their way.

Some are already falling for the "but we'll get blamed for shutting down the government" b.s.

Have you learned NOTHING?

Not. One. Vote.

This is extraordinarily dangerous. Tomorrow, the legacy media will ask Republican officials about this. Those officials will lie and obfuscate. And the legacy media will move on.

That is part of the crisis we face.

More evidence-framing dynamics: "They’re running the ‘Twitter Files’ playbook against the entire U.S. gov't. The claims are a bunch of half-baked conspiracy theories built around idiotic misinterpretations and intentional mischaracterizations of bits of data and out-of-context communications."
We wrote about how Musk is using X as a propaganda tool to demonize each of the agencies and programs that DOGE targets for cuts, providing air cover for his engineers' incursions — with the truth as collateral damage.

The American Bar Association has just called upon every attorney, regardless of their political views, to join them & stand up for the rule of law & at minimum insist that our government "follow the law."

Every lawyer has an ethical responsibility to do so.

They’re running the “Twitter Files” playbook agains the entire US government, and just as in that case, the claims are a bunch of half-baked conspiracy theories built around idiotic misinterpretations and intentional mischaracterizations of bits of data and out of context communications.
REALITY CHECK

Doge has not discovered ANY actual fraud or crime. Musk and the DOGE youth have army of X trolls culling data from a gov funded transparency website called USAspending.gov. They gin up outrage by making wild accusations against granting agencies.

It’s textbook media manipulation.
