SCOOP: The top US election security watchdog has frozen all of its efforts to aid states in securing elections. The move represents the first major example of the country’s cyber defense agency accommodating Trump’s false claims of election fraud and online censorship.

New in PN: Trump and his lawyers embrace the logic of dictatorship

"The arguments being made by the administration boil down to this: if Trump wants to do it, he gets to. Their stance appears to literally be that laws are irrelevant in the face of Trump’s wishes and the courts can’t stop him."

And they're not even trying to hide it at this point.

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive):

1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment*

2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything

3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can

4. Citizens march en mass

Ken Martin gave a hell of a good speech here: “Are we on the side of the robber baron, the ultra-wealthy billionaire, the oil and gas polluter, the union buster. Or are we on the side of the American working family, the small business owner, the farmer, the immigrant, and the students?"

Last existential post of the day I promise but this is a good thread.

I think it's good to remind ourselves that as big as the federal government is, it's still not actually that big.
i think this should be factored into how states, counties, localities and hospitals respond to these executive orders. "we will investigate you if you teach DEI." okay, with what agents, specifically? with what state capacity?
NYT reported that the number of potentially affected agents is as high as 6k. The bureau has about 13.7k agents total

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare.

Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.”

We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

Nooooooo no no
This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

I know. I was there in those camps.

Trump has pulled everyone off of their duties at FBI, DEA, DHS, ATF And the US Marshalls to chase down immigrants. That is about 5000 personnel taken off their other duties to, in most cases, sit around for 12 hours to placate the orange one.

Trump's pick to lead the Defense Department has a documented history of offensive and dangerous behavior, including allegations of sexual assault. The American people want and deserve better than Pete Hegseth. app.sosha.ai/s/oN5PlRK2
