ENOUGH!! We can’t wait any longer. He needs to be out of office now!! We’re halfway there to 53 days! I feel like screaming out my bathroom window like in the movie, “Network”!

The IRS announced that churches and other houses of worship are now allowed to endorse political candidates to their congregations, effectively carving out an exemption to the longstanding ban on political activity by tax-exempt nonprofits.

Trump is forcing Americans who are seeking their earned benefits to sign up for Elon Musk's app. Pure corruption.

The White House moved the official portrait of former President Barack Obama to a new location in the East Room, replacing it with a painting of President Donald Trump with his fist raised in the air right after last year's assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.

The approximate 20 percent budget cut could force the closure of the Goddard Space Flight Center and would see projects such as the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope scrapped. www.wired.com/story/propos...

The agency forecasts weather, manages fisheries, and researches the world's oceans, atmosphere, and climate. The proposed budget cuts would slash the climate work entirely.

So long, space travel. The White House plans to terminate billions of dollars’ worth of ongoing and future National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) missions, effectively cutting the world-renowned scientific agency in half. www.thedailybeast.com/trump-admin-...

Exclusive: Two days after the Social Security Administration purposely and falsely labeled 6,100 living immigrants as dead, security guards arrived at the office of a well-regarded senior executive in the agency’s Woodlawn, Maryland, headquarters.

“I do not presume to understand current politics," Space Force Col. Susannah Meyers wrote, "but what I do know is the concerns of the U.S. administration discussed by Vice President Vance on Friday are not reflective of Pituffik Space Base.” She's been relieved of her command wapo.st/3Efcwcc

For the bulk of his professional life, Darren Bossie, the new White House liaison to NASA, was an assistant manager at a Total Wine & More in Palm Beach County, Florida. “That didn’t seem very promising,” a senior NASA official said.

It’s always easier to point fingers than do an actual job

What a weekend! Across the U.S., over 100,000 Americans mobilized — including more than 34,000 attendees at the Bernie/AOC rally, marking the biggest political event since Obama. Protests erupted in multiple states to defend Social Security, Tesla takedown protest gained momentum, and so much more!

Tucson, Arizona today. Original projected attendance was 3,000 people. 23,000 showed up.

Trump is the third US president to pardon insurrectionists. Pardons by the previous two - Andrew Johnson in 1868 and Ulysses S. Grant in 1873 - were followed by years of violent racism and the rise of the KKK. Joseph Patrick Kelly @cofcharleston.bsky.social; David Cason @uofnorthdakota.bsky.social

US President Donald Trump has announced a series of strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen in the most significant military action of his second term to date.

Trump has paranoia that is an early symptom of dementia. IMHO

Less than two months after taking office, US President Donald Trump has reportedly spent $18.2 million of taxpayers' money on his golfing hobby, despite his and Elon Musk's DOGE campaign to slash federal spending.

#ICYMI: The NASA official sent the warning days after Trump called the federal government “bloated” and claimed that a lot of people “aren’t doing their job.” “This is probably one of the saddest emails I have had to write of late,” the official said. By @heathervogell.bsky.social

This article might dampen your weekend mood, but it's a must read. The situation in the US government is already dire, but trying to comprehend what comes next is even more unsettling.

“Operation Whirlwind” What’s Happening Now? In 2025, Operation Whirlwind was launched under Interim U.S. Attorney Ed Martin to investigate alleged threats against employees of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Odd how the turns have tabled… Trump reversed course and admitted that Russia did, in fact, invade Ukraine. International news sources and independent media have stepped up to keep Americans informed.

Trump tried a seizure of power in 2021. It didn't work, because he relied only on a violent mob. The military and FBI stayed loyal to the Constitution. This time, with approval of the Republican Senate, Trump has installed anti-constitutional putschists at FBI, DoD, and Pentagon

What happens if the courts can't stop the Trump Administration? “Then we’ve got to take to the streets in a different way,” Anthony Romero, the executive director of the A.C.L.U., tells David Remnick. “We've got to shut down this country.”

This deputation allows them to carry weapons on federal property, and if granted full federal law enforcement authority, they would have the power to make arrests.

The U.S. Marshals Service has deputized members of Elon Musk’s private security team, granting them specific rights and protections as federal law enforcement agents.

This is not normal! As if federal employees didn’t already feel threatened enough—sure, let the brown shirts have guns; that’ll certainly boost compliance.

Maine Gov. Janet Mills (D) told President Donald Trump “we’ll see you in court” and said her state won’t be intimidated by his threat to withhold federal funds if it doesn’t bar transgender athletes from competing on women’s sports teams.

Remember this?

Chris Kluwe, a former NFL player for the Minnesota Vikings, was arrested after speaking out against plans to install a plaque with references to President Trump’s slogan “Make America Great Again” at a library in Huntington Beach, California.

Ed Martin, a Missouri lawyer who helped organize the “Stop the Steal” movement to keep Donald Trump in office after his 2020 election loss, took over the top D.C. federal prosecutor role on Jan. 21 and immediately began reshaping the office in a way that aligned with Trump’s preferences.

We just want to say that we are in awe of all of you. You are the ones history will remember—a resistance rising against tyranny. From the moment Trump took office, laws have been broken left and right. We shouted from the rooftops, and it took relentless effort just to have our voices heard.

Look at this amazing turnout at the California State Capitol in Sacramento today!

The waste of hundreds of thousands of person-years of expertise and dedicated service.

All over today. This is NYC.

NYC comptroller Brad Lander threatens to convene an "inability committee"—the more complicated way to remove the mayor from office—if Adams doesn't promptly produce a plan for governing in the wake of resignations, prosecutions, etc.

Four senior aides to Eric Adams resigned amid furor over the mayor’s relationship with the Trump administration after the Justice Department ordered corruption charges against him dropped

hey for anyone who might want to actually own their kindle books instead of renting them, or who might be thinking of switching to kobo etc and will want to convert them to epubs, you now only have one week before amazon kills your ability to download its ebooks www.theverge.com/news/612898/...

Some federal employees who accepted Trump’s buyout offer are now being notified that their buyout has been denied, and they are being terminated instead.
