When horrendous news comes at us as fast as it has in the last few weeks, the only way to process it is to come together and discuss what’s happening (and more importantly, talk about how we fight back). Join @leahgreenberg.bsky.social and @ezralevin.bsky.social tomorrow for their weekly discussion.

The onslaught of news, the chaos coming out of the White House – it’s all meant to overwhelm us. It’s a deliberate strategy to sow confusion and make us believe we are powerless to fight back.

It's a scam, it's a grift, it's a crime spree
How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million.
How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65
Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!
Okay what is going on here. Are the accounts at a private banking entity? Does the federal government have direct debit permission set up? So many questions as to how Treasury instructed this payment. (Via NY Post’s Craig McCarthy)

Like the authoritarians who came before him, Trump has targeted the free press. Now he’s using meritless lawsuits and the influence of the presidency to intimidate news outlets that publish facts he dislikes. ABC already settled a $15 million suit and Paramount (CBS’ parent company) could be next.
In Procedural Move, Judge Denies CBS Motion to Dismiss Trump ’60 Minutes’ Lawsuit
A judge denied CBS' motion to throw out Donald Trump's '60 Minutes' suit, since an amended lawsuit has made the motion moot.

RFK Jr. is disqualified, dangerous, and cannot be given the power to make critical health care decisions for millions of Americans.
I'm headed to the floor to put up a fight against his nomination.

116 years ago, the NAACP was founded. They've stood on the frontlines, fighting civil injustices & advocating for civil rights. At a time when attacking Black history & dismantling DEI are coming from our own government, let's reaffirm the fight for justice & fairness & ensure it continues.

Ain't good. Compared to Senate Dems, House Dems have less leverage. One exception is the budget fight. But here's the Dem House Leader TODAY declining to use that leverage.
If you have a Dem rep, ask them to use their leverage. And tell them to tell Jeffries to lead.
Stay tuned - more to come.

USAID funded projects in 120 countries - fighting epidemics, educating children, providing clean water, supporting life saving work. Now nurses laid off, clinics closed in 25 countries where 2/3 of all child deaths occur

I’ve cut and pasted pics of some of the text below - one bit that documents key harms already done, and another is a great quote from @holdenthorp.bsky.social
