A win! A federal appeals court just ordered Elon Musk and his DOGE to resume efforts to hand over internal documents. The ruling directs Musk’s team to answer questions and provide records requested under the Freedom of Information Act records they’ve been stonewalling for months.
A tweet by Elizabeth Warren (@SenWarren ) reads: "If President Trump can wrongly deport a Maryland father to a prison in El Salvador and then defy a 9-0 Supreme Court order to facilitate bringing him home, who’s next? This threatens the rights and freedoms of everyone in the United States."
We must make our stand here.
Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.
Steve Kerr wore a Harvard basketball shirt after the Warriors’ win tonight: “Yes, this is me supporting Harvard. Way to go. Way to stand up to the bully.”
1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.
Who is going to do something?
This is Kim Jong-Un shit.
Donald Trump claims that we are in a “golden age.”
Instead, the stock market is falling, costs are rising, and Americans are suffering.
Hold the line. Hold Republicans accountable.

Soooo…⏰

Just heard from a friend who is a true hero veteran. His company was destroyed in 30 days by the VA when they canceled 5 contracts without notice. 23 Americans mostly veterans out of work and a veteran owned small business destroyed. For nothing. They're dismantling the VA not "reforming" it.
Charlie Kirk was whining about sign language interpreters giving information about the California wildfires on TV.
Is there a bottom to his utter lack of human decency?
NEW: Judge Howell holds Rudy Giuliani in contempt. Details to follow.
Check out the Carter Center’s photo from the funeral this morning and who’s obscured.
This photographer needs a raise. 🤣
Twitter post by Melanie D'Arrigo stating: 'They aren’t going to find $2T in waste. They aren’t going to lower grocery prices. They aren’t going to fix immigration. They are however going to give themselves trillions in tax breaks, and pay for them by cutting Social Security and Medicare.' Below the text, there is an image of an NBC News article headline: 'Elon Musk says DOGE probably won’t find $2 trillion in federal budget cuts' with a subheading: 'Musk previously said his Department of Government Efficiency would be able to recommend cuts to the federal budget of “at least $2 trillion.”
She’s right, you know.
Trump’s team was given the questions asked by Fox News anchors at an Iowa town hall last January in advance by someone inside the network, according to a forthcoming book, in what would be a serious breach of journalism ethics.
This is highly disconcerting. WaPo editors killed an editorial cartoon that mocked Bezos and other tech oligarchs. Will the Post respond to this? Democracy dies with accommodation.

While we’re banning books…
Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar.
Be. Like. Finland.
Followed from TT! Off to follow you on YT!
A plea to my liberal friends: Don’t underestimate the right-wing lawyers who’ve studied the ins and outs of the Vacancies Act, how to push its limits and exploit its vulnerabilities, and maximize Trump’s power. So Patel and others not getting confirmed will be the beginning of the story not the end.
The App Store reviews for X/Twitter are…yikes…
