Every single Democratic governor and attorney general needs to do this -- if only to make it clear to voters *right now* that the firings and funding freezes that are about to hurt their states badly are the work of Trump-Musk in Washington.
Get ahead of this now, or get blamed for it later.

The first will be in Phoenix March 5.

Eternally grateful to Kristen Clarke for bringing this suit when she headed the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights. And proud of the A.M.E. Church for standing strong in the face of the “formerly known as Proud Boys’” attack.
The Proud Boys organization no longer controls the trademark, “Proud Boys”, and is now “barred from selling any merchandise with either its name or its symbols without the consent of a Black church in Washington that its members vandalized.”

Yesterday, I returned from 3 weeks in Costa Rica, where I went to find out what can be learned from their spectacular success rewilding a country.
I cannot overstate how awe-inspiring the trip was: nature loss CAN be reversed on a huge scale, benefiting *everyone*.

Judge rules that Black church in DC, which won a $2.8 million default judgment against the Proud Boys, now gains control over the trademark “Proud Boys.” The far-right group is barred from selling any related merchandise or symbols without the consent of the church. Gift link:

Washington is full of rule-following valedictorians who were inspired by the West Wing and did Model UN and moot court and studied their heroes and who believe in using government to help people.
That's nice, but you need to learn how to swing on the illiterate bullies who steal lunch money.

Elon Musk’s DOGE—Now the “USDS”—Is a Dangerous Shadow White House
Donald Trump has quietly ended DOGE—as such—but only so he can give Musk far more power over the United States than he would otherwise have had. Musk is now, through the USDS, America’s co-president.
