Next time Trump does a press conference, a reporter needs to ask him directly if he's committed to free and fair elections in 2026 and 2028. Let's cut to the chase here.

🚨PHASE 1 OF ENDING SOCIAL SECURITY HAS BEGUN🚨
This phase cuts staff to the bone, to engineer massive failings in the system.
Phase II will be pointing to those failings as reason to privatize.
But, this is the beginning of the end of Social Security.

This one was censored in the US so not sure how many of you caught this before, but little X knows about the election rigging. Which is why Musk has effectively kidnapped him and doesn't allow him to be with his mother or other family.

Musk’s staffers are heading to the Pentagon, while Trump continues his attempted purge of Washington. He recently announced on Truth Social that he is appointing himself as head of the Kennedy Center and plans to remove multiple members from its board of trustees.

Good morning,
We need at least one Senator or member of Congress to risk an arrest today and break through the police line at one of these agencies.
Not next week. Today.
To whichever member of Congress risks arrest, I will THROW DOWN FOR YOU and so will thousands, if not millions, of Americans.

How do you break a police line?
Put your hands up and slowly push through the line.
Even when you’re an ordinary citizen, this tactic is surprisingly effective.
Now, imagine you’re a Member of Congress.
You likely get through.
And if you don’t? You take the arrest.

This is an absolutely remarkable memo — and a betrayal of both the Constitution and the American political tradition. In the US, by *explicit contrast* with interwar fascist governments, the state is not supposed to be an extension of the personality of the chief executive.

Washington, D. C. 20530
February 5, 2025
MEMORANDUM FOR ALL DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEES
FROM:
SUBJECT:
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
GENERAL POLICY REGARDING ZEALOUS ADVOCACY ON BEHALF OF THE UNITED STATES'
"[E]xecutive Power." More broadly, attorneys are expected to zealously advance, protect, and defend their client's interests. Department of Justice attorneys have signed up for a job that requires zealously advocating for the United States.
The responsibilities of Department of Justice attorneys include not only aggressively enforcing criminal and civil laws enacted by Congress, but also vigorously defending presidential policies and actions against legal challenges on behalf of the United States. The discretion afforded Department attorneys entrusted with those responsibilities does not include latitude to substitute personal political views or judgments for those that prevailed in the election.
When Department of Justice attorneys, for example, refuse to advance good-faith arguments by declining to appear in court or sign briefs, it undermines the constitutional order and deprives the President of the benefit of his lawyers. It is therefore the policy of the Department of Justice that any attorney who because of their personal political views or judgments declines to sign a brief or appear in court, refuses to advance good-faith arguments on behalf of the Administration, or otherwise delays or impedes the Department's mission will be subject to discipline and potentially termination, consistent with applicable law.
' This guidance is not intended to, does not, and may not be relied upon to create, any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:y2tqoxl4zx7iuyh3rhbhdwv3/bafkreic4hwhm45xtfe5w2yb3y27ye4zw72ch2l2jydx3avbn6yxwllwbqi)

NEW — DOGE now has full access to HHS Payment Management System, I’ve learned.
The system distributes almost $1 trillion per year in grants (largest in the govt) and supports all of NIH, CDC + many other public health initiatives. Musk guy Luke Farritor is actively delaying payments to recipients.
