Academic freedom is dead at West Point. Philosophy professor resigns his tenured position because of admin interference in curriculum and research, which now must bow to Trump’s agenda. “I cannot tolerate these changes, which prevent me from doing my job responsibly.”

The Pope blowing off J.D. Vance gets so much more fun when you remember that less than a year ago he made time for this.

Gavin Newsom calls Kilmer Abrego Garcia a “distraction” @washingtonpost.com

What an absolute disgrace he has become.

Beyond repulsive and shameful.

The goal for the Christian fascists in America has always been to ensure a return to “head of household” voting and the end of democratic elections. The save act is one of their crowning achievements and will literally ensure America never has free or fair elections again.
“In a bold new departure for the forces of voter suppression, MAGA’s ‘SAVE’ Act will make it harder for tens of millions of eligible Americans to vote, including millions of people, mostly women, who change their names after marriage,” Rep. Jamie Raskin.” www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

NEW: Today, the House will vote on the SAVE Act, a bill that would disenfranchise millions of voters. As Rep. Terri Sewell (D-AL) states, “this bill is not about protecting our elections, it’s about making it harder for Americans to vote and easier for Republicans to win.”

We’ve seen veterans used as pawns forever. This is simply the most egregious and high stakes example - ever. I am ashamed to be someone who helped set the stage for them to hijack us. Even unknowingly. All I can do is keep trying to tell the truth. In the middle of a room on fire. #camplejeunewater

Camp Lejeune news. The PLG (see thread) who I believe are laundering money in the name of sick veterans and family members are going to SCOTUS to try and prolong things by vacating the ruling for bench trials. I have 3 lawsuits and under normal times a jury could mean millions of dollars for me.
Yesterday I discovered that because of my Camp Lejeune claims, Elon Musk and Mayor Adams and I technically share the same attorney. John Bash. Tomorrow I will be talking about why I think this is important.

“A guy who makes $8 million a day off the government thinks seniors getting $65 a day they worked their whole lives to earn is a ‘ponzi scheme.’

BREAKING: Elon Musk tries to get Verizon's FAA contract canceled -- so that he can give the $2.4 BILLION contract to his Starlink company

Musk is literally going into the government -- and pocketing billions for himself

With both RFK Jr and Gabbard confirmed, two people who rose to prominence spreading conspiracy theories about public health and national intelligence will now run the U.S. government agencies in charge of those areas. For someone studying these conspiracy theories for a decade... this is nauseating.

I think it's worth repeating plainly that a federal judge halted Musk's federal funding freeze nearly two weeks ago but funds are still very much being frozen in violation of the court order.

This has been a wild week, with way more news coming out of the new administration than anyone can follow.

And that's likely by design. Here's some of the biggest things that happened this week.
