Incredible story about the defiance of U.S. African Development (USADF) against the illegal actions of DOGE.
Members of the DOGE squad lied and tried to force their way into the downtown D.C. headquarters of U.S. African Development (USADF).

The DOGE squad was accompanied by Peter Marocco — a Trump toady and member of the MAGA mob who illegally entered the U.S. Capitol during the…

This seems important...
OMB director Russ Vought has officially begun carrying out his section of Project 2025.

Technical thread to follow, but it’s really important - this is a major path through which the Trump administration will illegally impound funding, refusing to carry out some of our spending laws.

I'm one of your constituents. Why?
You need to be playing hard ball. Put up whatever roadblocks you can.
People around the country are asking Senate Dems to fight back. But today, 22 Senate Dems voted for yet another Trump nominee (Collins for VA). If yours voted the right way, thank them. If they voted the wrong way, do what you can to let your entire community know and express disapproval.

Dear Democratic Leaders: here’s a free idea, send members of congress into the buildings where Elons people are and see what they’re doing. Dare them to stop you.

Yes. All of this.
Grocery prices aren’t going down. But no one really voted for that. They voted for the white supremacy. They voted to push back against the hard won progress we’ve made to get closer to a multiracial democracy. I know this because the Trump supporters are emboldened now. 1/

I wrote about the fascist party that's taking power, the deepest natural laws that they oppose, the ways that this opposition renders them fundamentally, illegitimate no matter what power they hold, and what that means for all of us.

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.

Not everyone can fight Trumpism and Trumpists directly. But remember this: kindness, decency, and fidelity to American values are defiance in the face of Trumpism.

So be kind, decent, and faithful, particularly to the many kinds of people despised and attacked by Trumpists. That’s revolutionary./1

As much as I’m not a Politico fan these days, I am a diehard #PeteButtigieg fan, so I will prop my chin on my hand and listen to him wax poetic about nearly anything.

One day, I hope to vote for him on a national ticket. We won’t deserve him, but I hope he’ll have us anyway.
