Raskin: "Yesterday, Donald Trump banned the Associated Press, a 179-year-old newspaper organization, from the White House because it declines to call the Gulf of Mexico the "Gulf of America." This is straight up press censorship based on retaliatory viewpoint discrimination."

In a letter asking the agency’s #IG to investigate, Rep #DanGoldman of NY & 6 other fmr #Justice Dept employees who now serve in #Congress accused #EmilBove, the acting dpty AG [& #trump #criminal defense atty], & #EdMartin, interim US attorney for DC [& #Jan6 insurgent], of engaging in “flagrant #ethics violations that compromise their ability to act in the public interest & undermine public trust in the Department of Justice.”

Following an investigation by New Mexico In Depth and ProPublica, Gallup-McKinley County says it cut down on long-term suspensions for Indigenous children and implemented policy reforms. But the state has not made it easy to verify these claims.

Was there ever a doubt?

“While the #Trump administration has highlighted transfers of dangerous criminals and suspected gang members to Guantanamo Bay, it is also sending nonviolent, "low-risk" migrant detainees who lack serious criminal records or any at all, according to two U.S. officials and internal government documents”

Ummm #Trump in the Oval Office just now said
“Judges want to try to stop us” & “maybe we have to look at the judges” then “I’ll ask #ElonMusk to say a few words”

#Musk proceeded to talk for 25+ minutes [FYI he’s still talking]

Who is president??

I’m all for the death of the penny, but you can’t just unilaterally decide to discontinue it without making provisions for prices that still include non-rounded cents. To sum up Trump is an idiot and has no clue what he’s doing (for the billionth time) #USPolitics

Outside hackers in the Education Department have full access to several administrator accounts in the department, giving them complete access to all information about children in the entire USA. Why do they need this info? What are they going to do with it?

Donald Trump has given Elon Musk a job that allows him to use his greatest talent — siphoning money out of the U.S. government.

How Trump’s Kennedy Center takeover could change the arts

“If extended to the private sector, this could look a lot like the McCarthyism of the 1950s, or worse. And that would force cultural groups to make hard decisions about their basic values. We may already be at that point.”

"Let me say this more clearly: what is happening right now, in America, in real time, is a coup."

"This is an information war and this is what a coup now looks like."

"Musk didn’t need a tank, guns, soldiers. He had a small crack cyber unit that he sent into the Treasury department last weekend. He now has unknown quantities of the entire US nation’s most sensitive data and potential backdoors into the system going forward."

Google didn't really have to adopt the new name of #gulfofmexico #gulfofamerica . The orange guy's executive order was for the federal government structures to use the new name. Everyone is free to use the established name.
