While many Americans were still asleep, Republicans in the House of Representatives passed Trump’s huge, horrible mega-bill.

It might be the worst, most damaging piece of legislation I’ve seen in my nearly 60 years in politics.

DOGE is reportedly threatening NOAA with massive staff and budget cuts.

NOAA houses the National Weather Service and National Hurricane Center, which produce forecasts and warn people about storms.

This attack on public safety is ripped straight from the pages of Project 2025.
Doge staffers enter Noaa headquarters and incite reports of cuts and threats
Members reportedly sought access to IT systems at agency that Project 2025 has called ‘harmful to US prosperity’

Imagine if
-prosecutors who brought cases against Hunter Biden were purged
-Soros employees took control of govt. payment and personnel systems
-Executive order redefined 2nd Amendment by fiat
-Every violent crime during a BLM protest was pardoned
-People paid Biden millions for favorable treatment

Trump is openly violating the law on a vast and unprecedented scale and everyone is acting like it's normal. NPR had a long story about finding a rare shrew. NYT said he was disregarding "legal niceties." This is an attack on the Constitution as profound as the attempt to overturn the 2020 election.

Can’t believe the updates from The US…

Two emotionally detached narcissists engineering what appears to be a mass looting of the country

Triggering culture, tariff and diplomatic wars

…while rolling out orders that will hurt the pockets, safety & health of its citizens.

Question for all: Many of these people fired from the FBI (and DOJ) are trained investigators. Can we recruit them into a fifth column to continue investigating? What would it cost? Where can we contribute?

We need to fight hard and we need to fight to win.

We need to bring aggressive litigation.

We need to stand in the town square and say we will be stronger than the billionaires are and call out what Trump is doing is wrong.

That is what I am doing every single day. I hope you join me!

"DOGE does not have power over established government agencies, and Musk has no role in government. It does not matter that he is an ally of the President. Musk is a private citizen taking control of established government offices. That is not efficiency; that is a coup."

Trump is playing right into China's hands.
As well as misspelling the name of Colombia, Donald Trump is going to push our allies into the loving embrace of China.

But don’t say we didn’t tell ya. We did

Face it, Trump could have said “30 days notice starting now. IGs fired” and it would have been perfectly legal and made 1 month difference in a 48 month term. He didn’t because breaking the law was the point, to demonstrate that the laws don’t apply to him and daring anyone to try to stop him.

And no one knows that they’ve done it. These small hyper-locals are needed to cover town meetings. It seems UN-glamorous but such reporter can expose corruption that would otherwise go unnoticed.

hats. Most small newspapers that still exist are down to skeleton staff. After being laid off from BIT, I am now using my skills at a non-newspaper business.
The consequences of news “deserts” is that no one is covering local government meetings, so local leaders can basically do whatever they want

As expected, the Trump team is already deleting climate info from government websites. In anticipation, our team at Urban Ocean Lab created a permanent archive of 100+ key resources and published a permanent archive: www.urbanoceanlab.org/resource-hub 👩🏽‍💻

Since Monday, Trump has: Halted civil rights investigations, suspended public health advisories, frozen infrastructure spending, rescinded an executive order prohibiting discrimination by federal contractors and another one aimed at lowering drug prices.

How does this help working people?

What stood out to me is the last line about Columbia FORCING their criminals into the US. I don't recall hearing about any flights loaded with known criminals being sent to the US by any foreign government. On the other hand, Trump forced 1500 known criminals onto the streets of the US.
