The U.S. attorney in Washington says DOJ "will be vigilant in standing against entities" like the Associated Press, that "refuse to put America first."
The AP's transgression is, apparently, not adopting the president's preferred name for the Gulf of Mexico.

I second the recommendation even if the weather isn't crappy wherever you are
In honor of black history month, I will be doing a daily thread of James Baldwin quotes. If you have never heard of the late great Mr Baldwin, he was a trailblazer in so many ways. If the weather is crappy where you are might I suggest “I Am Not Your Negro” a 2016 documentary.

In my years of reporting on LGBTQ news this was by far the hardest.
But we are still here. You made it to Friday. You lived. Good job. That wasn’t easy.
Through a diversity of tactics, we will continue to live.
Rest up, drink water, find community, so that we can all be here tomorrow too.

A thought from the comments, and a terrifying thing I hadn't considered until I read it there, but is it possible that this administration is attempting a holodomor in California?
Trump just ordered 2 dams opened up in California in an unprecedented move that risks depleting the reservoirs ahead of the dry summer months.
And the kicker? The water from the dams doesn't even flow to Los Angeles.

Acting on Trump's order, federal officials opened up two California dams
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers just opened up two California dams. A spokesperson says the flows are 'controlled' and being coordinated with local officials.

There is sooo much incredible talent on the market currently and I would make my company one that everyone aspires to work for and with.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

This refers to "rank and file DOGE staff." Ok, I'll bite. Who are they? Where are they? What is their source of funding? Who pays their salaries? Is DOGE a government entity? Which Congressional committee has oversight? Is it a business? Registered in what state? Is it a nonprofit? Is it tax-exempt?
