I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath.

Trump is helping an accused human trafficker, a rapist, and a man who formed an organized crime group to exploit young women.
I’ll say it again:
This is the most corrupt administration in American history.

It’s amazing that one person can run six companies, manage the entire federal bureaucracy, and be model parent to 13 children.

Musk’s supporters believe that, through tech wizardry and sheer willpower, he’s slashing the federal deficit in a way that has eluded politicians for years. But this narrative has a glaring flaw: The Economist’s review of official data shows that his efforts have scarcely made a dent in spending.

14/ The “network state” movement seems to have been inspired, at least in part, by the “Patchwork” political system proposed by Curtis Yarvin in his Moldbug blog in 2008. You shld read the whole “patchwork” proposal, but I’ll pull out some highlights. www.unqualified-reservations.org/2008/11/patc...

Are there any lawyers who can sue on behalf of the American people? Because this is clearly illegal.
Trump is pausing federal grants and loans as his administration begins an across-the-board ideological review of its spending.
It could affect trillions and cause widespread disruption in health care research, education programs and more. Even grants not yet spent are to be halted.

Brief thread on how we got here: Since the GOP won control of the House 2 years ago they have not passed a single appropriations package into law. Government has operated at funding levels set by Dems 2 years ago via continuing resolutions every few months. This is not normal.
