We’re all a little confused, disheartened, and yet… focused. So I recorded a message for all of us:

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

Attention: Musk’s staffers are now seeking access to a sensitive Medicare database as part of their crackdown on undocumented immigrants. DOGE was never about saving the U.S. money—it’s about building a government-run machine to weaponize personal data.

I was just telling James how it kills me that there's no publicly available proshot of Ian McKellen and Tim Curry in Amadeus, and then I went looking to see if there were any photos of the production and the top result was a post from @mattcolville.bsky.social saying literally the same thing

THIS. It should have had wide coverage in media outlets, but only did in the outlets outside the U.S. Interesting analysis on why.

Big protests — but not big news
Throngs of anti-Trump and anti-Musk protesters gathered in every state. Why was some media coverage so quiet — or almost non-existent?

TAPPER: You're imposing a 10% on the Heard and MccDonald islands. They have zero human inhabitants. Why are you putting tariffs on islands entirely populated by penguins?

ROLLINS: Whatever. Listen, the people leading this are serious, intentional, patriotic, the smartest I've ever worked with.

>>just as with Donny’s executive orders, his tariffs are being treated as law only because Congress has abdicated their responsibility to y’know, be a co-equal branch of government.<<

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.

What will you do?

Thank you Senator Cory Booker. This guy truly cares about the people he represents.
"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥
