Get it out of your head that we are having free and fair elections in 2026. Texas is the model. This right here is tyranny. That's not an exaggeration.

They won't do this everywhere, but they'll do it in enough places to ensure they win a majority.

The government admits the thing I’ve been banging on about, which is that there is no habeas for these people, despite what they told CADC.
Despite admitting to having illegally sent a guy to El Salvador by mistake, and even though the U.S. is paying El Salvador to indefinitely imprison him, the DOJ is arguing that, well, nothing to do, it's not in our hands anymore. The general tone of their response is "welp, sucks to be him."

It is important to continue to say — these attacks on law firms are shameful.

They are an abuse of power.

And they violate our constitution.

Full stop.

If any creators want viral content on the tech takeover, read John Robb.

He is a respected military analyst who is pro-Elon. The NYT, Wired, etc., have quoted him for years.

He explicitly describes what's happening as a "prototyping" of the Network State.

As @inaeoh.bsky.social enters early middle age smelling like a sandwich and looking like a wreck, she relates to the simple fact of life that it simply feels good to look good.

But when she applied this empathy to whatever is happening to the faces of MAGA, something strange and brutal emerged.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up.

Tomorrow is the cloture vote.

KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️

Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill.

Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.
🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.

I know this is going to sound naive or earnest, but I genuinely find myself shocked by how little people seem to be upset by the levels of corruption we're seeing. Is that the median voter assumes everyone is corrupt already? Or isn't actually getting stories about the corruption?

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.

It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.

They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.

I’m happy to invest and/or help
