You're in the Trump administration, or you're a Republican in Congress. You consider yourself a decent person. You lack the nerve directly to contradict Trump. But you COULD post your own comment on Rob Reiner to make clear Trump wasn't speaking for you.
Has anyone done this?
Blumenthal: We’re going to continue finding more of the ballroom donors who evidently didn’t want their names revealed. And let me name them: BlackRock, Susquehanna International, Nvidia, OpenAI, Vantive, and Extremity Care.
And so, we will use every possible resource to expose this corruption to

What the fuck is the point of paying money to a police department if they won’t protect people from hostile masked kidnappers?
When the LA police says you are overreaching, you are overreaching.
Big point that is being missed: without the insurrection act, the activated Guard troops are now federal army and cannot

Per my post on Saturday below identifying the provision in 12406 providing for Governor's role....
Governor Newsom's (very well-lawyered) letter on Sunday now goes for it:
Please watch this….

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

I just put in conditional notice at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP and Affiliates. I sent that notice firm-wide and anticipate the email will leak. I would rather just share it with you myself. Once, when I was in fifth grade, I failed a test and came home sobbing. My mom was disappointed in me but couldn’t figure out why I was so upset until I choked out, “now I won’t get into Harvard!!” I was a gunner, even then. I’ve spent thirty years working to get into these spaces. I do not give them up lightly, and I have made plenty of moral compromises before. But this moment is existential; whether we get better from an already unacceptable status quo or get worse hinges on how we handle it. If being on this career path demands I accept that my industry—because this is certainly not unique to Skadden—will allow an authoritarian government to ignore the courts, I refuse to take it any further. As I have said before, others stand to lose far, far more than a paycheck. I’m going to go cry and watch the new White Lotus, but rest assured I will be back tomorrow, and the next day, and the next. Thank you.

I'm told that Cohen no longer has access to her firm email account.

What a disgrace.
Bezos and the newspaper he has destroyed should be grateful that anyone thinks it’s still worthwhile to buy ad space from them.
*This* is how democracy dies.
These TROs keep coming. Hoping the last not-entirely-MAGA branch continues to hold the line against tyranny.
simply repeating the straight reporting of what is happening in the executive branch makes you sound like you have lost your mind.
These are the clowns Congress refuses to stop.
America, you broke through—the media, from small outlets to large, is finally picking up on what’s happening. Legislators, judges, and attorneys general across the country are speaking out. They hear you. We love you and are honored to serve you! 🦬💚🇺🇸
Our people across #MD08 are rightly demanding answers about President Trump's systematic destruction of federal programs and the civil service.
Federal workers—I'm convening a webinar on the latest developments and resources to fight back. Sign up to gain access upon its release:
Stores across Canada have begun removing U.S. Red State liquors from their shelves and replacing them with “buy Canadian instead” signs. Canada isn’t playing around and I’m loving it.
The Trump administration’s rebranded Schedule F policy aims to reclassify federal employees in policy roles as at-will, removing civil service protections. This will politicize agencies by allowing dismissals based on political alignment.
Canada just did. Le sigh. But I agree with your sentiment.
