Trump has rolled out yet another baseless conspiracy theory in his relentless campaign to lie and spread misinformation to the public. His latest claim, that the FBI orchestrated the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol and that Biden ordered it, collapses under even the most basic scrutiny.

Remember how scary it was for the 36 hours where it felt like the Right could explode into violence as a repercussion of an assassination? That's what our trans brothers & sisters feel like every fucking day

We have to protect them at all costs. They are our line in the sand; not a bargaining chip.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.

The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

To go along with our piece today, we published an extensive list of folks associated with DOGE. It builds off and adds to the strong work that Wired, WaPo, ProPublica and other pubs have been doing.

The public has a right to know who is dismantling the government.

Who Is in DOGE? Tracking Its Staffers and Allies in the Federal Government
The Times identified 49 people within the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, a group formed by Elon Musk that in a short few weeks has radically upended federal agencies.

Additionally, the FBI returned at least some of the materials it seized from Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence and private club during a court-authorized search in August 2022.

We just received word that the DOJ has begun removing data detailing criminal charges and convictions related to Trump loyalists. This started with records from the January 6th insurrection, but additional records are now being erased. We will keep you updated once we have more info.

This is one of the most shameful days in U.S. history. A weak, corrupt, deceitful, compromised Kremlinist U.S. president recruited his Yarvinist VP to gang up on a heroic ally on live TV. It devolved into a shouting match.

Why? This report explains _exactly_ why:
The Birth of the Trump Doctrine Lies in the 1987 Recruitment of Donald Trump By the KGB During His Trip to Moscow That Year
How Trump responded to his recruitment remains unclear. What is clear, however, is that it shaped his entrance into politics and his foreign policy in a way the world now ignores at its peril.

President Trump’s escalating initiative to drastically cut the federal work force has reached the Social Security Administration, a crucial program that keeps millions of older Americans out of poverty, which said on Friday that it would reduce its head count by more than 12%.

The agency is also restructuring and closing six of 10 regional offices that coordinate and provide support to employees who serve beneficiaries.

Republicans just voted to take your money and give it to billionaires.

It’s not enough that House Republicans are enabling Trump and Elon Musk’s outrageous power grab. Now they’re selling out everyday Americans so that Trump, Musk, and their billionaire allies can get even richer.

Looks like tomorrow will bring votes on a Republican plan to fund tax cuts for the rich by slashing Medicaid.

So this is a great time to contact your Member of Congress.

Please don't email HR@opm.gov and send them random photos of your meals or cat, don't send your list of favorite shows. Elon says it's for serious things only.

This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

It’s official: Elon Musk’s staffers have now illegally obtained classified information from the USAID office.
