To be clear, MAGA has reached its peak.They got their evil budget. They’re in lame duck territory. There’s nothing but retribution to come. It’s up to us to deliver it…with a vengeance!
I hear a lot of democratic members of congress say “republicans privately tell me they hate this.” Start naming names.

@captmarkkelly.bsky.social is the OBVIOUS choice for Senate Minority Leader. Chuck Shumer must go!
Looking at you, @schumer.senate.gov
AOC: It is almost unthinkable why Senate Democrats would vote to to hand the few pieces of leverage that we have away for free when we've been sent here to protect social security, protect medicaid, and protect medicare.

There’s been zero explanation for this given but it seems exceedingly likely it’s pure retaliation for the Maine governor challenging Trump. Really sick. www.pressherald.com/2025/03/06/s...

Trump inherited an economy that was firing on all cylinders. Now, just weeks into his tenure, the outlook is far gloomier -- and the sudden deterioration is due almost entirely to his policies and the uncertainty they have created. @colbylsmith.bsky.social #EconSky www.nytimes.com/2025/03/07/b...

Just last summer, Ed Martin hosted an award ceremony at Trump’s golf club for an alleged Nazi sympathizer and others convicted of Jan. 6-relates crimes. Now, under Trump, Martin is the interim U.S. attorney for DC. See @tomdreisbach.bsky.social’s reporting: www.npr.org/2024/09/12/n...
Senators are asking the DC Office of Disciplinary Counsel to look into the torrent of abnormal and rule-shattering statements Jan. 6 organizer Ed Martin has issued since Trump gave the conservative activist his first-ever prosecutorial job: DC US Attorney. www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

“Despite the demands of Trump, Leavitt, and Big Brother, the AP is not changing their style to suit the whims of a would-be tinpot dictator. And by defying Trump, the AP has created a rallying point for other organizations and individuals to find their spines and defy him as well.”

Get hold of your attorney and get hold of these folks.
Giving access to SSNs, other data on government employees to non-employees like Musk is a violation of 5 USC 552a, and carries with it a penalty of $1000 per person whose data was accessed. We are building a case. Govt employees who want to participate should contact me directly

This was nothing less than a bloodless coup. Totally illegal. Democratic senators and congressmen need to get in front of a microphone today and every day to denounce this atrocity. Look away now and risk American democracy. We are on the precipice.

Another FBI leader standing up for the rule of law “Today, we find ourselves in the middle of a battle of our own, as good people are being walked out of the FBI and others are being targeted because they did their jobs in accordance with the law and FBI policy." James Dennehy, FBI NY Field Office
There is no government department called DOGE. It’s a made up, non-existent entity. A serious journalist would point this out clearly in the first sentence of the story. Shameful.
DOGE is not aiming to eliminate a wasteful, lawless, and antidemocratic bureaucracy in Washington—it is hoping to become one. newrepublic.com/article/1887...
