Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

It’s disturbing that Justice Jackson was left to dissent alone from this legally reckless, constitutionally wrongheaded, and procedurally indefensible use of the Court’s emergency powers. History will vindicate her courageous if lonely stand against this outrage.

Jobs you aren't qualified for are hard.
Dan Bongino has a nice cry on Fox & Friends: "I gave up everything for this. I mean, my wife is struggling... I stare at these 4 walls all day in DC, you know, by myself, divorced from my wife. Not divorced, but I mean, separated. And it's hard."

(Note that Brian Kilmeade has to encourage him lol)

A grotesque injustice by a cowardly company that deserves to be called out for its denigration of the constitution. And an illustration of Trump’s malign influence even beyond the targets of his reprisal agenda.

Holy crap. Here are 91 pages of letters that 14 House Democrats just sent to the nine law firms that have paid off Trump to not attack them.

Lots of Qs aimed at sorting out if they violated federal bribery/anti-fraud/racketeering laws. min.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

There’s just so much shady shit in this story, but this really sticks out. Folks in NLRB’s IT unit were so freaked out by what they saw DOGE doing that they wanted to notify the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Then this happened:

The Republican response to #Trump ‘s collapsing polls isn’t to reign in his economic incompetence though, it’s to try to pass sweeping voter obstruction legislation so those poll numbers won’t matter.

An extraordinary separate dissent from Justice Jackson accuses the majority of trying to pass off its dirty work under the cover of the shadow docket and explicitly invokes Korematsu, the Japanese internment case. Wow. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Watch @60minutes April 6 episode on El Salvador prison and the U.S. deportations there with no evidence of criminal behavior or gang membership. This CANNOT be us! We must stop this ungodly, life-destroying actions by Trump administration.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.

11,000 people showed up.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

Trump wanted to treat Gavin Newsom the same way as Zelensky when he flew out there. But Gavin met him on the tarmac and bodied him. And that was that. Because face to face, man to man, no bros around to back him up, Trump is the biggest coward on earth.
