Shortly after senior Trump officials discussed the bombing of Yemen in a Signal group chat that just happened to include the Atlantic's editor in chief, a subset of the group feasted at a secret dinner featuring Trump where guests were asked to pay $1 million apiece to join.
"Should Miss Liberty Be Deported" pamphlet from 1950 calling for contributions to challenge the deportation drives.
In the late 1940s into the 1950s, the US sought to ideologically deport individuals, including those who had lived in the US for most of their lives.
"Should Miss Liberty Be Deported?" is a pamphlet in 1950 calling on the public to help challenge these deportations.

A federal judge issued a temporary restraining order preventing the Trump administration from withdrawing $14 billion in climate grant funding from Citibank accounts.
WIRED talked to actual federal auditors about how government auditing works — and how DOGE is doing the opposite.
The Trump administration plans to eliminate the EPA’s scientific research arm and lay off more than 1,000 chemists, biologists, and other scientists.
Well, Kirsten, you shouldn’t have empowered Trump by voting for the CR. Just sayin’.
Ernest Hemingway wrote this in 1935…
Email list for all DOGE employees
Please ReSkeet!
DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA.
Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps.
Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems.
See how this works?
This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement.
The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand.

My take on what happened to the NEH and what it means for public history.
And my call to Ken Burns to step up. The NEH made his career, He is the single largest recipient of NEH (and taxpayer) funds. Ever.
And he now has his a foundation.
Will he fund the banned projects?

@johnjharwood.bsky.social points out that LBJ in 1965 foreshadowed Trump/Musk in 2025:
“If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice that you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, he'll empty his pockets for you.”
Unfollowing you, Axios. Why on earth would you make a statement about Americans like that? Half of America is disgusted by his actions and will NEVER call this the Gulf of America. 'Nuff said.
I have always argued that the U.S. is a country and laws and they will win out in the end. I am still hoping this is true but where are the leaders of the Democratic Party and why aren't they screaming to the top of their lungs about this crap?
Rubio is as much a part of the problem as everyone else. Anyone who lives in Florida understands that little Marco simply wants the limelight. Just because he kisses behind, doesn't mean he is a good guy. He just wants people to like him. Keep talking Senators. You make yourselves look stupid.
So, Trump wants two million Palestinians to be relocated from battle-leveled Gaza to new homes elsewhere so that the US could send troops to the Strip, take ownership and build the “Riviera of the Middle East.”
Is anyone in favor of sending US troops to Gaza? Anyone at all?
While Trump has been distracting America with everything else, Elon Musk’s staffers are quietly taking over NOAA and the Department of Labor. They are also using AI to help rewrite a significant portion of the federal government’s computer systems.

NOT THE PRESIDENT. NOT DOGE.
U.S. Marshalls threatening agency personnel with arrest have no authority to do so. They are following an illegal command. Stand Your Ground!
I’m old enough to remember when we had 3 branches of government. Forget checks and balances. I guess we are a Muskocracy now.
Education Department employees have been placed on leave for attending diversity training. Meanwhile, Republicans have introduced a bill to eliminate the Department of Education.
Murphy: "This is a constitutional crisis that we are in today. Let's call it what it is."
WHERE THE FUCK IS DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP???
