Mark this for the history books: “We’re talking about the president exercising his authority, and the president is of course limited to his authority. That’s the difference between a constitutional government and King George,” said Judge Charles Breyer.

There wouldn’t be a Trump/Musk break-up if the DOJ, Congress, and courts had done their jobs.
The DOJ shouldn’t stopped Musk from buying the election (Garland)
Congress should’ve ended the illegal creation of DOGE
The courts should’ve excised Musk & DOGE and imprisoned him for the data heist.

My loyal companion Bode died last night of canine lymphoma. Since 2016, he was by my side at work and at play. He was always happy and no matter how bad other things were, he always made me smile. Quite simply, he was the best dog ever. I already miss him terribly.

Correction officers are core to our justice system, yet they receive little recognition for the difficult work they do.
By strengthening mental health resources for officers and ensuring detainees access addiction treatment, we can help them do their jobs more safely and effectively.

While their constituents are asleep, Republicans are trying to take away health care from 13.7 million people to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

It’s still hard to believe the simple fact that this is all self-imposed. Everything that’s happening right now wasn’t the result of some foreign adversary destroying the country. We did this all to ourselves by electing the dumbest motherfucker to ever rule a nation.

Scenes from the HHS bloodbath 🧵
Some layoff notices went out by email last night or early this a.m. But some people showed up today at FDA and only found out they were fired when their badges didn't work -- or when they were pulled out of line to enter by security, Gestapo-style.
