Four Democratic senators — Warren, Schiff, Booker, and Blumenthal — are calling for an ethics investigation and possible disciplinary action in response to #Trump and Elon #Musk using their official public roles and resources to promote Tesla at the White House.

NEW: Judge orders March 27th hearing in the high-profile lawsuit filed by Associated Press against #Trump White House aides...

Two witnesses will be permitted for each side.

This is the dispute that began with the "Gulf of Mexico" challenge

Via Angry Staffer:

“White House officials took the unusual step of ordering a stop to the background check investigations after they deemed the process too intrusive, sources said”

It’s a fucking background check. It’s SUPPOSED to be invasive.

It's not about Khalil. It's not about his beliefs. It's about our rights.

Republicans hold the White House, the Senate, the House, the Court, and Wall Street.

If the government, whatever shreds are left of it, shuts down, it is ENTIRELY 100% on Republicans and no one else. Exactly as they wanted it.

These fuckin clowns 🤡

"A 30-day funding freeze enacted by the #Trump administration at #FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, has caused an immediate pause to the millions of dollars distributed to help vulnerable #nonprofits, including many #Jewish institutions, meet their #security needs.

#Synagogues, Jewish day schools and other organizations that rely on the FEMA funding dispersed through the Nonprofit Security Grant Program have not received reimbursements allocated to them, according to representatives from the Secure Community Network, an organization that provides security services to Jewish nonprofits."

Why does “founder” simultaneously mean to establish something and to fail utterly?

The Chairman of Denmark’s Defense Committee, Rasmus Jarlov responds to today’s statement by U.S. President Donald J. Trump while meeting with the Secretary-General of NATO, in which he said that he believed the U.S. annexation of Greenland would happen, with Jarlov stating, “It would mean war between two NATO countries. Greenland has just voted against immediate independence from Denmark and does not want to be American ever.”

He’s grabbing more power for himself soon, and putting all immigrant communities at high risk of abuse from ICE and other law enforcement. Be ready to stand up for migrants and for due process. There are very dark clouds ahead.

Jag tror nog att en hel indiansk befolkning skulle vilja ha ett ord om att främmande människor i en båt, som strandade på land någonstans för över 200 år sen, och sa att de äger den....

The Pentagon owns 145 golf courses. As Trump cuts key government services, we found it aims to spend on sand traps and clubhouses.

This round goes to the WSJ

Judge Orders Thousands of Fired Federal Employees to Be Reinstated Immediately https://truthout.org/articles/judge-orders-thousands-of-fired-federal-employees-to-be-reinstated-immediately/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

You don't have to agree with Khalil's politics, rhetoric, demands, or beliefs. But this isn't about one man. This is about the precedent. This is about Trump's war on free speech, and his noted and documented "shoot them in the legs" disdain for activists.
So far, that hasn't happened.

The Department of Homeland Security, echoing Trump's slurring rhetoric, claimed that Khalil was "aligned with Hamas," a designation offered without evidence but wielded with purpose. This is how repression works.

Students have flooded the streets of New York, demanding Khalil's release. His attorneys have filed an emergency petition in federal court, where a judge has temporarily blocked his deportation. His case is a flashpoint, a test of how far this administration will go to crush dissent.

Per Meidas, Elon retweeted the following post: ""Hitler Didn't Murder Millions of People... Public Sector Workers Did".
Apparently he's preparing his own defense:
Musk didn't destroy the lives of thousands of honorable Federal workers. . . . DOGE employees did. #Musk #DOGE #GovernmentEmployees #Hitler #Lies

If only Kamala Harris had told everyone one million and one times instead of just one million.

#Trump may consider using private contractors to arrest undocumented immigrants.

Eric Prince is offering his services. Sound familiar?

Trump’s private army would terrorize citizens. Like the guys in unmarked vans that dragged away protesters during the George Floyd protests.

If you speak out against Trump, his brown shirts will take you away to the gulags.

Trump’s SS.

This should worry all Americans.
