Question 1: Why hasn't there been a case brought to scotus re: an unvetted, unelected, & likely uncleared individual having access to Americans' personal info & classified information? Question 2: Aren't there laws regarding conflict of interest? I thought there were.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.
It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.
They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.
I’m happy to invest and/or help

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share.

Some boycotted #MSNBC since the fool & wife kissed the ring. Those who cherrypicked shows to watch weakened the impact of a mass boycott. You can't boycott Target & make an exception for a good deal on paper towels. When the entire company loses $$ bc no one is watching -- that sends a message.

Everyone should call their democratic House and Senate members and ask them to make this happen.
I keep saying Dems need to do a daily briefing on Capitol Hill and fill the void, fact check the WH. Hire Pete Buttigeig and give him a staff to do this.

This is why you need @petebuttigieg.bsky.social doing DAILY press conferences. See @cherijacobus.bsky.social
Yes. But they are missing that much of this has to be performative. That’s what Trump is great at and Dems are awful at.
You can’t just tell voters , you have to know how to sell voters.
Trump gives sales pitches, Dems show charts. One goes viral. The other is ignored and forgotten

Why isn't media interviewing victims of these executive orders? People who will lose their jobs because they have to RTO. People who rely on federal grants. People who had cancer trials canceled. Why are they not on 24/7. We don't need to hear from senators and reps anymore about their outrage.
