Wow. This is major news. Judges discuss moving the U.S. marshals from the executive to the judicial branch. Not only would they protect judges from trump threats, but it would also make it easier for courts to order marshals to carry out court orders.

For those of you who knew Victoria Brownworth on Twitter, she passed away from cancer yesterday.
She was a fearless journalist who reported on AIDS in the 80s (when Reagan was ignoring it), lifted up the LGBTQ community, & rooted out corruption.
Her wife, Maddy Gold, died of cancer in 2022.

A eugenics move to disappear autistic people. He is so utterly ignorant, he’s frankly not worth the electrons to reply.
1. As part of his dangerous anti-vaxx crusade, Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert Kennedy Jr. spread horrific lies about autistic people by saying they “will never pay taxes. They’ll never hold a job, they’ll never play baseball. They’ll never write a poem. They’ll never go out on a date”

Every recent Trump admin story can be explained with malicious laziness. Why use an unsecured group chat for war plans? It’s easier. Why deport innocent people? It’s quicker. Why solve waste by firing everyone rather than using forensic accountants? It takes less thinking. All malicious laziness.

So if Musk doesn’t run DOGE, and DOGE isn’t a real government agency, then no one has to listen to Musk or do what the DOGE bros tell them to do, right?
NEWSY: The White House confirms tonight that Elon Musk is NOT the administrator of DOGE and is not even technically part of it.
He's a "senior adviser to the president" like Anita Dunn, they say. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The Trump official currently dismantling USAID was caught in a secret meeting with a group of pro-Russian separatists in the Balkans.
Those he met with are under American sanctions for trying to restart the Bosnian war in the name of Christian nationalism. 1/
