Please take this seriously: If we get out of this alive, we literally need to push HARD for deep structural changes across law, policy, the judiciary, and the ways in which elected officials get coopted by donors. There is no other way to secure the future.

Trump is 0-3 in cases brought by law firms he has targeted with illegal executive orders.
Yet the cowards at two other law firms -- Paul Weiss and Skadden -- shamefully capitulated without putting up a fight.

Schumer enabled GOP power plays, failed to protect democracy, and abandoned the people when it mattered most. He’s lost the fight—and our trust. It’s time for new leadership.

FAA officials ordered staff on Friday to find tens of millions of dollars for a Starlink deal, sources tell us, and most or all of these directives came verbally, which we are told is highly unusual.

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

Congress has a proven pathway to power: the six Rs of opposition in the House. Why aren’t we doing this?
🧵 I went to work in Congress with a Member who was raised in South Africa and part of the anti-apartheid movement. She taught me how to optimize the power of the opposition in the House. Like the trimtab on the rudder, members can steer the ship. Here are the six R's of minority power.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Unbelievable. We are in critical public health danger.

“We just had word that all our fellows and post doc staff are laid off effective immediately. The famous Epidemic Intelligence Service, aka the Disease Detectives, is no more. That’s 1260 staff.
They are calling this ‘Phase 1’.”

The level of dangerous incompetence is impossible to believe.
This is the worst classification scandal in 20 years. According to someone who knows: Trump has done more for China in a couple of weeks than Xi could have dreamed.
New via NYT — The CIA sent the White House an unclassified email listing all employees hired by the spy agency over the last two years to comply with an executive order to shrink the federal work force. One former agency officer called the reporting of names a “counterintelligence disaster.”

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
