You fought for habeas corpus, put it in your constitution, and now you’re just gonna let a game show host take it away? You’re not losing your rights. You’re handing them over.

The firing of one of our top cybersecurity officials at the urging of a known conspiracy theorist is outrageous. We are already facing unprecedented cybersecurity threats and this only makes America more vulnerable.

Thank you Senator Cory Booker. This guy truly cares about the people he represents.

SCOOP: DOGE wants to rebuild SSA's codebase in months, risking benefits and system collapse, sources tell me.
The plan is to migrate all systems off COBOL quickly which would likely require the use of generative AI.

DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Codebase In Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse
Social Security systems contain tens of millions of lines of code written in COBOL, an archaic programming language. Safely rewriting that code would take years—DOGE wants it done in months.

Please stop saying it saved money until you understand the value of what was cut. They are downsizing, and if the stuff getting cut had real value, its not a saving.

By “go into”, he means “get invaded.”
REPORTER: Do you view Ukraine as an equal member of this peace process?
TRUMP: Ummmm ... it's an interesting question. I think they have to make peace. That was not a good war to go into.

Excellent. Now let’s see if the DOGEbags listen to court orders, and who enforces this if and when they don’t.
WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING: A federal judge in New York barred Elon Musk and other allies outside the Treasury Department from accessing any sensitive payment records — and ordered any who have received such info to destroy it — until at least Feb. 14.

Growing up, I was told that the demise of Christianity would be caused by our country rejecting God.
Now I believe it is actually caused by Christians blatantly rejecting the teachings of Jesus for the sake of political power.

Normally, a POTUS would shut their mouth, let the FAA and NTSB come to a determination, and allow the professionals to do their job.
This guy has set a historical all time record of failing up, and we are all paying the price for it.
He just can't help himself. He is who he is. A raging asshole.

Reporter: You blamed the diversity elements but then told us you weren’t sure that the controllers made any mistakes.
Trump: It’s all under investigation.
Reporter: That’s why I’m trying to figure out how you can come to the conclusion right now that diversity had something to do with this crash.

They’ll try again.
Still not sure what Congress did, could've done, should've done, didn't do. But at least some spoke up. bsky.app/profile/seth...
They are back-tracking because we spoke up. Good.
But make no mistake: their OMB memo ordered a freeze of *all* grants. The Medicaid and SNAP portals went dark. Head Start providers couldn't draw funds.
This was not a coincidence. It was their plan. And they screwed up bigly.

In Iowa Senate District 35, Trump won by 21% in November.
Tonight, in a special election to fill what was a GOP-held Senate seat, Dem Mike Zimmer defeated Republican Katie Whittington by a 52-48 margin.
This is a huge deal — the flip of a GOP seat to a pro-union, pro-public education Democrat.
