A rare candid photo of Acting Commissioner of the #SocialSecurity Administration ( #SSA ) Leland Dudek.

Leland was recently promoted from mid-level staffer after being caught leaking information to #DOGE. Good for you, Leland!

Marco Rubio's collaboration with Russia's Sergei Lavrov and Putin is one of the most disgusting acts of betrayal to democracy and our nation. Rubio has secured his place in history of infamy.

So, this struck a nerve with people. What would it take to do this nationwide? Invite local press to local speak-outs on research. Tell national press we're doing this across the country. Ideas of who could help with this?
Imagine if university presidents instead of cowering, called up their faculty too speak in a round-the-clock marathon across the nation about how their research serves every American who has ever faced illness and disease.

A total constitutional failure. Juan Linz was right about the perils of presidentialism. It turns out he was wrong about 🇺🇸 political parties (Samuels & @laderafrutal.bsky.social got that right: www.cambridge.org/core/books/p...). You can read all about in @tompepinsky.com's post from 2020:

Performative public lying is a hallmark of far right authoritarian parties.

It’s laughable that these people want you to believe that judges can’t restrict the executive, after the last four years, or the last forty. Everything is simply “only we, the Herrenvolk, deserve power.” It is what it is.
vance is lying and knows he’s lying but even if he weren’t, “separation of powers means the president is an elected despot” may be true in some other political system but it has never been true in the american political system
judges famously lack any authority over attorneys
