With 47s refusal to comply with the Supreme Court’s order to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia the US has entered a dictatorship under a terrorist state. open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

We’re fucking doomed…

From the Boston protests today. 🤣

Ahhh…that lovely taste of “Liberation”…

Want to join me for this Hands Off event?

I’m sure things will be different this time… 🙄

Trump promised to leave Social Security alone, but his actions speak louder than his words, Times columnist Michael Hiltzik writes.

US shutdown of HIV/Aids funding ‘could lead to 500,000 deaths in South Africa’

There’s no chance that Musk and his lapdogs will be yanked from their posts, since the point of DOGE is not really to reform government spending and accountability at all.

More than 60 major moves that President Trump and his administration have made in his first 23 days, including executive orders and agency memos, have aligned with proposals in the Project 2025 blueprint, according to a New York Times analysis.

"So, you see, it's not really about saving money," said Sunny Hostin. "I think there's a much more nefarious reason."

OPINION: The responsibility of government is for the common good, but Trump can only see what he wants to destroy. He is a political terrorist, a destroyer of worlds. He has no plan. Nothing to replace the programs he destroys. No experts to replace those he fires.

Civil Liberties Complaint, go get em!!!

Like his plans to annex Canada and Greenland, Trump’s proposed conquest of Gaza is not a serious policy, but a window into a doddering mind detached from reality.

Let me emphasize: Elon Musk has not been confirmed by Congress. His “department” was never actually enacted. No one other than Trump has given him any authority. Democrats and any Republicans with a spine need to step in and stop this madness. Call your rep now (202) 224-3121

Conservative budget wonks (Manhattan Instiutte, Tax Foundation) confirming that this is a consittutional crisis. Not liberal hysteria. Happening right now.

Where we are right now, we have never been. Where we are going, no sane citizen of this country ever wanted to go. This is a profoundly dangerous and destructive moment for which we are unprepared. The worst fears and predictions about what Trump 2.0 would be like are coming true and being exceeded.

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive): 1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment* 2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything 3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can 4. Citizens march en mass

1 Do not obey in advance. 2 Defend institutions. … 15 Contribute to good causes. 16 Learn from peers in other countries. 17 Listen for dangerous words. 18 Be calm when the unthinkable arrives. 19 Be a patriot. 20 Be as courageous as you can. @timothysnyder.bsky.social #OnTyranny #DoNotObeyInAdvance

“What started as a purge of the security services accelerated Friday into a full-blown coup, as technical units aligned w/ oligarch Elon Musk moved to seize key systems at Treasury, block outside access to personnel records, & take offline comms networks.”

You elected the Congress. You did so as part of a deal we have had with each other since 1788 that the people we chose for that Congress would make our laws and control our national budgets. And now a group of people are illegally trying to strip away your power.

I do not recall a 24 hour or one week news cycle with more disturbing news about the state of the presidency and the US government in it than those of today and the past seven days. January 6 was nothing compared to this. But make no mistake, this too is the gov't being torn apart by a mob of thugs.

This is a hostile takeover of the federal government by a private citizen of unlimited means with no restrictions and no transparency. Welcome to the Deep State www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...

A key bit from today’s column (www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...):

Bodies are still being pulled from the Potomac. The President and extreme MAGA Republicans are blaming women and people of color for the deadly plane crash. At the same time, they are dismantling the Federal Aviation Administration as we know it. Disgusting.

The guy from The Apprentice, who hired a Fox weekend host to run the Pentagon and a cast member from the Real World to run the FAA (the two agencies associated with the incident) says the real cause of a deadly plain crash is DEI.

robert f. kennedy jr. submits his application to harvard university. his application is, in its entirety, a single page with his name "Robert F. Kennedy Jr." he is accepted immediately.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

@ocasio-cortez.house.gov

Medicaid portals down in all 50 states. Section 8 funding is at risk in the dead of winter. Head start & university grants are at risk of cancellation. Oh, & eggs are more expensive now than they were 3 months ago. This is what happens when a fascist comes to power. Hope you're happy MAGA voters.

I know we don’t have the votes, but this demands articles of impeachment. When we found out Trump violated the impoundment control act for withholding Ukraine aid, we IMMEDIATELY began impeachment discussions. This is like that but GOVERNMENT WIDE. This requires more than letters and lip service.

Important follow-up on my pinned report and my recent post about the takeover at OPM: The Washington Post has confirmed the claims below. There is indeed a takeover of the federal government happening that is being coordinated by people outside the government who have gotten access to U.S. servers.

There it is

This is absolutely insane. SNAP? FAFSA? Millions are about to suffer. This could very well crash the economy. Halt of all financil aid in the United States. www.politico.com/f/?id=000001...
