It’s a long “memorandum,” but it’s essentially telling Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem to go after lawyers who challenge the federal government — which is many lawyer’s jobs.
It’s basically a catch-all “let’s Paul Weiss whoever pisses us off” memo.

Yes this is how I feel everyday since January 20th. It’s getting scary and also trying to continue seeking moments of joy as I can, especially as a trans man just out here existing.
What the actual fuck?! America, something must be done!

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

HEARING: Today is the preliminary injunction hearing in Talbott v. Trump, the case challenging Trump's anti-transgender military executive order.
Judge Reyes began by trying to go through the points on which everyone agrees. DOJ will not agree the EO is to ban all trans people from the military.

This is what I’ve been saying!! These court orders aren’t doing us ANY good if no one is enforcing them or even attempting to….
I've been waiting for someone to make this point as clearly as @pbump.com did last week:
The entire Federal law enforcement apparatus is a part of the Executive Branch. All of it. So if they don't want to enforce a judge's rulings, or, for that matter, the law... then who?

The US DOT says it's planning to prioritize areas with high marriage & high birth rates for funding.
Our new analysis @urbaninstitute.bsky.social shows this would disproportionately fund:
—Communities with a higher white resident share

As expected, these court orders aren’t being enforced. None of the offenders actually give a damn. It’s great federal judges are putting these temporary orders to block certain actions; however we need a department that’s enforcing them. Because without that, we’re screwed.

Among other reasons, censorship is bad because a lot of these terms are used multiple ways. “Confirmation bias” is the most common logical fallacy, for example - I’d like the folks at NSA to be particularly attuned to it.
2. A memo distributed by NSA leadership to its staff says that on February 10, all NSA websites and internal network pages that contain banned words will be deleted.
This is the list of 27 banned words distributed to NSA staff:

Laws Are Not Suggestions: How the CFPB Is Delivering for the American People - American Economic Liberties Project
Under Director Rohit Chopra, the CFPB has held scammers like Wells Fargo accountable, returning billions of dollars of Americans’ hard-earned money to their bank accounts; fought back against Wall Street and Big Tech’s discriminatory and anti-competitive behavior; ensured violating the law can no longer be written off as just a “cost of doing business;” and restored financial freedom to millions of Americans held hostage by the credit reporting cartel.
