Spending funds Congress has not appropriated literally violates the Constitution and to do so knowingly and willfully is a crime punishable by two years in prison. See 31 USC 1341(a) and 1350.

No one wants a paper trail because spending funds Congress has not appropriated is colloquially known as “stealing from the US Treasury.”

Remember writing a letter “to any soldier“? Reposting something doesn’t do much. I look on Google maps for different federal agencies & mail them a postcard that says “to any public servant, you are appreciated. hold the line.” #HoldTheLine. #chaoticgood

The FAA is close to canceling a $2.4 billion contract with Verizon to overhaul the communications system that serves as the backbone of the nation’s air traffic control and is awarding the work to Musk’s Starlink. Follow the money and see where it goes.

Union email just came through. Acting commissioner Dudek is rumored to have requested a plan to reduce SSA staff by 50%. While this is unconfirmed, I cannot stress enough how devastating this would be for the millions of people who depend on us. This would cripple our ability to serve the public. 💔

In every single interview I’ve done with international media since Trump took power I’ve been asked: Why are there no mass protests?
There are many reasons, of course, but the utter refusal of the self-proclaimed “fourth estate” to communicate clearly what is happening has to be high on the list.

No matter how preposterous, the Times headlines nearly every Trump story as if it were written by the White House comms team.

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government.

I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe.
She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today.
RIP Elisa.

The AP must refuse this but more importantly the rest of the White House Correspondents Association should back them.
Boycott the press briefings until they relent, and if they refuse, walk out. There is no real use to them in any case.
Trump craves attention. Deny him that and he’ll cave.

The AP should stop covering Trump events. Instead send those White House reporters out into the field to report on the harms and repercussions of his policies.

Four FEMA officials were fired for not following illegal orders to withhold spending.
The White House is saying of judicial decisions: "These unlawful injunctions are a continuation of the weaponization of justice against President Trump."
These are not warning signs. This is happening now.

The constitutional crisis goes hand in hand with the attack on the civil service and a politicized legal infrastructure.
Federal employees are much less likely to resist following illegal orders when General Counsels are telling them its ok, and they would otherwise lose their jobs.

SCOOP from @nbcnews.com — A senior FEMA official instructed subordinates to freeze funding for a wide array of grant programs Monday, just hours after a federal judge ordered the Trump administration — for the second time — to stop such pauses.
