ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: It has come to my attention that several agencies are now offering WiFi for you to use with your PERSONAL devices. If I were you, I would NOT use that WiFi. I suspect it's a way for DOGE to monitor your personal communications.

elon musk personally reinstated the account of a MAGA influencer who posted stills from a video of a nine-year-old girl being raped to death
they weren't stills from elsewhere on the internet. they had his watermark on them

if the democratic party had a functional propaganda arm it could make a lot of hay of the fact that a non-trivial number of MAGA personalities and politicians are child sex offenders

ICE stripped a German green card holder naked, drove him from Boston to Vermont to Rhode Island, put him in a cold shower, deprived him of medication, sleep and food until he collapsed.
No one knows why he was detained.

Green card holder from New Hampshire 'interrogated' at Logan Airport, detained
Fabian Schmidt’s family said they are unsure of why he is being held. They said he has a recently renewed green card, and no active issues in court.

UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is.
They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there.
They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

We’ve got a friend in Wisconsin who said she wasn’t worried about potential cuts to Medicaid because she and her 3 kids don’t need it - they’re on BadgerCare. She was stunned when I told her they were all on Medicaid.
Protecting people from shame by renaming MA has definite downsides.

Why haven't we seen more backlash against the GOP's proposed cuts to Medicaid? One reason is that people may not know they're on Medicaid, because Medicaid has different names in different states (see 🧵). Another is that some people may not realize that they (or their kids) could qualify.
Many Medicaid recipients do not know they receive it because Medicaid is called different things in different states. The public narrative of Medicaid focuses on a distant other, but 40% of US children and 60% of nursing home residents receive Medicaid. Just SOME of the names by state are below:

it would be bitterly unfortunate if you clicked this link and reported Martin Luther for promoting universal public education as an alternative to requiring the citizens of the Holy Roman Empire to depend on the Catholic priesthood for all knowledge
It would be a real shame if a bunch of you clicked this link and reported King Penda for allowing his daughters to be educated as Christians in order to be inclusive, despite the prevailing pagan culture of the time.

I can't make this stuff up. Attorney General Pam Bondi released some materials about Jeffrey Epstein today. Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee claimed it was major. 🚨🚨🚨 But their link to EPSTEIN FILES RELEASED actually takes you to a song by Rick Astley on YouTube. Really.

Trump falsely claimed “fraud” to attempt to steal the 2020 election from the people—he failed.
Now, he’s falsely claiming “fraud” to steal the government from the people—he’s succeeding.
The analysis below proves Trump’s DOGE is ideologically targeted, meant to consolidate exec power.👏 Adam.

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

lol glomar responder is an inside baseball national security joke about foia. Glomar is the name of the case that validated a policy of refusing to confirm or deny whether the government has responsive documents if it determines that any response poses a national security risk.
REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

I am simultaneously more existentially scared for us all collectively *and* more hopeful about the fall of MAGA fascism right now.
MAGA spent so much time on culture war during the Biden years, it seemed very likely that making good on those threats would be their opening salvo.
