Why has Kid Rock not been arrested for obstructing ICE arrests after his restaurant sent undocumented workers home last week so they wouldn’t be swept up in an ICE raid, but Judge Dugan directing a man through a different door is a federal offense?

All of these signal chains are government records. Are they all downloaded? Being properly stored? Transparency in government matters; apparently, it matters so much that this crew was willing to compromise highly sensitive information in order to avoid it.

Certainly doesn’t look to me as though the end goal is cutting government spending… They’re looking to reroute $$$ to the oligarchs. Firstly, by funneling our tax dollars into tax cuts for the oligarchs. Secondly, by creating government contracts for the oligarchs by privatizing our services.

Despite DOGE, Trump's agenda calls for adding trillions of dollars to U.S. debt

Budget experts say Trump’s tax and spending priorities would increase red ink, even as he boasts of balancing the budget. “I don’t think their rhetoric matches reality," one says.

I’ll keep pushing this line of analysis because I’m increasingly convinced the clearest path out of this mess is for Dems to adopt a relentless anti-corruption, anti-inequality, anti-oligarchy, pro-democracy platform. The Dem leadership hasn’t realized it yet, but they’re now a reform party.

Lots of good, decent Americans losing jobs that benefit all of us because the world’s richest man (who none of us elected) doesn’t think they’re important. Sure, MAGA.

The processing fee for a passport is $130 but there can be other costs and you have to get documents establishing your citizenship like a birth certificate and a photograph. This is the new pull tax if the SAVE act passes.

1/Yesterday, Pam Bondi issued a memo saying prosecutors couldn't refuse to sign a motion in a case they were assigned to w/out being fired. Now, we begin to see why with this unprecedented attack on Illinois Governor over immigration. Sign or be fired. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

A federal judge has just ordered Musk to get out of Treasury’s computers. We are fortunate there are good lawyers representing democracy. Normally that would end the matter, but in this era there are legit questions about compliance & enforcement. We live on the edge of a constitutional crisis.

The fact that we can always make gov’t more efficient doesn’t mean that Elon Musk, someone with conflicts of interest everywhere you look, should be running the show. Trump could have started with the inspectors general, whose job that is, but instead of empowering them, he fired them.

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

1/Last August, there was reporting on a conversation Russell Vought, co-author of Project 2025 who was confirmed just by the Senate over the objection of every Dem & Independent to head OMB (sort of like the HR office for the feds), had with people he thought were donors. But they were journalists.

New episode of #Sistersinlaw. My favorite part was explaining that if Trump is right about birthright citizenship, it means none of those people are subject to the jurisdiction of the US-can’t be arrested, prosecuted or removed. Obviously wrong. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

Though space is chock-full of interstellar medium, it tends to be invisible unless lit up by a celestial spotlight. Sometimes, scientists get lucky: In 2012, NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope grabbed an image of lacy interstellar medium illuminated by Zeta Ophiuchi, a large star roughly 370 light-years away
