Marbury v Madison is a seminal case from 1803 that holds that the federal courts must determine the constitutionality of the actions of the other two branches of government. Hope that helps, Stephen.

Here are three ideas for today. 1. Praise the members of congress who are standing up to fascism. (Call, email, tweet, etc.) 2. If you’re concerned about your personal information exposed in the treasury breach, freeze your credit on all three credit bureaus. 3. Be generous with someone today. ✌🏼💗

We need to call out the blatant lie being pushed by the Trump administration—that Elon’s staffers have only “read-only” access. It has been confirmed across departments that they have “administrative” access to computer systems.

They are reversing everything the US stands for as a Constitutional democracy - under the guise of "bringing down the price of eggs." We all have free choice. We are all personally accountable to act within our own values. If you ever believed in social justice, now is the time to live that value.

So it’s not just the feds, it’s any private biz that contracts with the feds. Here’s the message they got:

We are going to see political investigations and prosecutions.
The question is whether the public, the courts and the media will recognize and call them out as political. Will they stand up against them or will people stay silent and allow them to continue.

Dems, please - stay grounded. Remember, we are not fighting each other. Stay focused on working together. Set aside any lesser disagreements to fight the bigger fight. They want us bickering among ourselves - because it takes the focus off of THEM!!! Take a deep breath. Touch grass. Return focused.

They wanted you to believe they had an airtight plan. Resistance was futile. They were ready. The first week shows they’re same idiots with the more hubris and incompetence. Stop being afraid and get louder. Don’t believe their bullshit. We aren’t afraid of Ketamine Leon or Temu Nosferatu.
