All this business I am reading about social security is nonsense. My mom died on 2/18. My dad got a letter yesterday informing him her benefits were ending and he had to repay the February payment because they don’t give a payment in the month someone dies. They know where every dollar is.

In a blistering statement, the American Bar Association describes "attacks on constitutionally protected birthright citizenship, the dismantling of USAID and the attempts to criminalize" diversity initiatives as "wide-scale affronts to the rule of law itself."

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

There is still beauty in this world
Judge rules that Black church in DC, which won a $2.8 million default judgment against the Proud Boys, now gains control over the trademark “Proud Boys.” The far-right group is barred from selling any related merchandise or symbols without the consent of the church. Gift link:

Elon Musk has forced his way into the system that pays your Social Security checks and tax refunds.

He likely now has access to your Social Security number.

Mitch McConnell: Tariffs "will drive the cost of everything up. In other words, it will be paid for by American consumers. I mean, why would you want to get in a fight with your allies over this?"

Over on the other site Elon Musk said that DOGE stopped $50M of condoms from being delivered to Gaza which Trump the repeated several times but it turns out that was the number for all contraceptive support from USAID everywhere on Earth, of which none went to Palestinians.

I watched a lot of this live and it was a clown show. Extremely unprofessional, dripping with condescension. She dodged questions, frequently threw out misinformation… A real treat.

I dedicated years of my life to reporting on January 6 and exposing what happened. I was there that day, co-wrote a book, and published a series of major stories on my own, for Rolling Stone, and for TPM.

I hope it mattered. I hope history will remember and understand what happened.

My dog likes to spend the day staring out of the window for stuff to bark at. That’s his version of doomscrolling, isn’t it?

Absolutely chilling. Saw a TikTok video describing this result. I wanted to test it myself after taking @hankgreen.bsky.social’s video to heart about conspiracy theorists. This was my search less than half an hour ago.

Don't let Donald Trump extending the TikTok ban distract you from the fact that his Administration is about to conduct mass deportations across America in a matter of days.

The TikTok ban feels nothing more than like a stunt. Playing with the livelihoods of 170 million Americans was never the answer. My thoughts in this special, mid-day newsletter. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...
