“…someone from the president’s party who ran ahead of him inadvertently triggered the stop mechanism on the escalator. The official…said the WH was operating the teleprompter for Trump.’” (HCR) The UN and conspiracy will be blamed. Again: every accusation is a confession in this regime.

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social When we were compiling this study, I definitely thought of your new book (which was really informative and good by the way) as well as the conversation you had with Ezra Klein shortly before your book came out. bsky.app/profile/goan...

1. What you see here is clearest illustration why things are so messed up and why it cannot get any better until this asymmetry is addressed. Put simply: the right-wing has narrative dominance. My org @mmfa.bsky.social did this study and has been sounding this alarm for years. Some thoughts...

Senator Mark Kelly was my Commander on the Space Shuttle Discovery during my trip back to Earth. I know him well - that's him holding my newborn baby. I have tremendous respect for him as a leader and as a patriot. I would never, ever question his dedication to our country.

It’s not “America First” to pull the rug out from under an ally and leave their people to die. This kind of foreign policy will end with no one in the world trusting America. Our alliances give us strength and the damage being done makes our country weaker and us all less safe.

As we have noted before, if you care about government efficiency and making it work better for the people, there are few offices better than the (former) USDS and @team18f.bsky.social. We were always thrilled to work with them and we know the whole #AltGov family sends their love. 💕

The Trump admin has fired key watchdogs across the fed govt Removing them makes it harder to hold the admin accountable to ethics & anti-corruption laws But other guardrails exist—as I explain in our Democracy Playbook 2025👇-TN www.brookings.edu/articles/dem...

brookings.eduDemocracy Playbook 2025Norm Eisen and Jonathan Katz provide actionable steps for democratic actors in the U.S. and globally to strengthen democratic institutions and resist illiberal forces.

The CFPB - Now who would be hellbent on stopping its work? It's the "...Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, a U.S. government agency dedicated to making sure you are treated fairly by banks, lenders and other financial institutions." The people who are conning you, that's who. #RESIGNPINO

Democratic senators will hold the Senate floor all night long in opposition to the nomination of Russ Vought, an organizer of Project 2025, to head the OMB.

Donold’s supporters don’t care if they lose their jobs or their freedom as long as he is performatively ‘owning the libs.’ That’s how much they have been taught to hate you.

Elon Musk has admitted this is his only chance to dismantle our government and he is going for it; the Republican majority won’t push back against the illegal actions being taken. The President is immune and can pardon his accomplices. I am honestly terrified.

Those who think civil servants are the antagonists in the dystopian novel we are living right now, please change the channel immediately. “Merriam-Webster says a COUP is ‘a sudden decisive exercise of force in politics…overthrow or alteration of an existing government by a small group.’”

I’m brainstorming, desperate for MAGA and legislators to pull their heads out of Trump’s backside. Could we spread a lie and see if THIS makes them rethink their vote? Tell MAGA: “CONSTRUCTION OF OVENS HAS BEGUN AT GUANTANAMO…” Would that give MAGA pause? Sadly, it would probably be celebrated.

Canadians, we beg you to remember that at least half of us in the US are horrified and tried to prevent this evil. And we are still soooo sooo sorry.

ARREST MUSK! Musk is a citizen, not elected, and has been denied security clearance. He just perpetrated the biggest security breach in tech history. ARREST HIM and his toys!

#3 "...It does not matter that he is an ally of the President. Musk is a private citizen taking control of established government offices. That is not efficiency; that is a coup.” From Heather Cox Richardson's February 2 podcast transcript.

#2 "...any sort of government department or agency, and even the executive order uses quotes in the title. It’s perfectly fine to have a marketing gimmick like this, but DOGE does not have power over established government agencies, and Musk has no role in government...

#1: "Elon Musk is not a federal employee, nor has he been appointed by the President nor approved by the Senate to have any leadership role in government. The ‘Department of Government Efficiency,’ announced by Trump in a January 20th executive order, is not truly...
