Why, even now, is no-one asking questions?

As you watch the extraordinary spectacle of Trump's government attempting to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda, let's not lose sight of just how lawless and indefensible Trump's misconduct has been all throughout.

Here's a thread recapping all of it. 1/

🦬 This is an incredible resource for tracking the damage DOGE has caused — and tracking the people responsible.

They must be held responsible. If the courts won't do it, then we will. #DOIResists
So, as you might know, I have been in the process of tracking the activities of DOGE staff across the federal government. And now I've built an auto-updating website to browse the data

It's not done (lots more content to write), but news is moving fast, so here it is dogetrack.info

Enjoy!
DOGE Track: Tracking The Damage
A website tracking the various activities of the DOGE wrecking crew across government. Sunlight is the best disinfectant!

ICE is detaining international students, visa holders, and green card residents over their First Amendment-protected speech. If you’re in a state with a Democratic attorney general, urge them to push back on Trump’s destruction of due process & protect the right to dissent: bluestatedefiance.org/ice

The Declaration of Independence echoes events now, because it’s a complaint against a ruler who is violating rights…like depriving Americans of trials or making them have trials far away from home.

Great interview with @jbf1755.bsky.social on @atrupar.com's PN.

The republicans if they don’t act they will be stained throughout history as cowards. The absurdity of the actions and the governmental malpractices thereto will be long remembered. Irresponsible and traitorous.

Yesterday, I joined my colleagues in the Oregon delegation to hear from and speak to public servants who have been affected by DOGE's reckless cuts. To all federal workers: your stories are the best weapon you have. Share them. We stand with you, we will protect you, and we will fight alongside you.

I am voting no on the CR. Trump and Musk are taking a wrecking ball to vital services for veterans, seniors and kids. I will not support a bill that helps them do it. I will support a clean 30 day CR.

Trump’s Ukraine policy reads like Putin’s dream for a Russian asset:

✔️Spread propaganda that Ukraine started the war
✔️Cut off military aid
✔️Block intel sharing
✔️Demean Zelenskyy in the Oval Office
✔️Weaken US alliances with Europe

Who benefits? Putin. Who loses? Us.

NEW -- Remember that reporter who asked Zelenskyy why he wasn't wearing a suit?

His former "news" outlet has taken $192,000 from the Trump campaign -- nearly half of which took place while he was program director director there.

Now that Trump has begun cutting Europe (especially Ukraine) off from intelligence sharing, Europe can dedicate far more energy to figuring out how Russia got Trump to capitulate.

Since all his OTHER bribery is in plain sight, I suspect any RU bribery is lurking just below the surface.
