Saving Democracy/Resistance:

AOC, @aoc.bsky.social, making the case for free speech alongside universal healthcare is so KEY for the left, because it's time progressives reclaimed the mantle of fighting for free speech from the faux free speech warriors of the right.

Judge Blocks DOGE ‘Fishing Expedition’ in Sensitive Social Security Data Systems

“The court saw that Elon Musk and his unqualified lackeys present a grave danger to Social Security and have illegally accessed the data of millions of Americans,” said one union leader.

Defenders of the Social Security Administration celebrated a federal judge’s Thursday order blocking U.S. President Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency from access to millions of Americans’ SSA records.

“The DOGE team is essentially engaged in a fishing expedition at SSA, in search of a fraud epidemic, based on little more than suspicion. It has launched a search for the proverbial needle in the haystack, without any concrete knowledge that the needle is actually in the haystack,” wrote Maryland-based U.S. District Judge Ellen Hollander, who issued a temporary restraining order.

The Fascist Felon, Elmo, DOGEbags, and their Brownshirts:

REPORTER: Do you think you you have the authority to round up people, deport them, and then you're under no obligation to a court to show the evidence against them?TRUMP: Well, that's what the law says. And that's what our country needs.

Trump: "Marco Rubio has a lot of big decisions to make … he's got the authority to get bad people out of our country, and you can't stop that with a judge sitting behind a bench."

REPORTER: Is the US planning to give up the position of NATO Supreme Allied Commander?TRUMP: NATO was gone until I came along

Trump on releasing the JFK files: "We even released Social Security numbers. I didn't want anything deleted."

I think this was from Chapter 4 of Mein Kampf.

The Worst Garbage in the World:

Fox’s Brian Kilmeade Falsely Claims Musk Critics Cusack and Crockett Said to ‘Blow Up Teslas’ — Calls for Their Arrest

Fox News host Brian Kilmeade falsely claimed that  John Cusack and Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) — prominent critics of Elon Musk — said people should “blow up Teslas” and called for them to be “indicted.”

Fact Check: False

Craven Assholes:

And the guy who sponsored the bill was arrested this week for soliciting a 16 year old girl for sex. Except when he went to meet her it was a cop. No biggie though, Musk amplifies even worse people on a regular basis.

Minnesota senator arrested for prostitution; GOP colleagues call for resignation

 Fellow Republicans called Tuesday on a Minnesota state senator to resign after police in suburban Bloomington arrested him for allegedly soliciting a minor for prostitution.

GOP Sen. Justin Eichorn, 40, of Grand Rapids, was arrested Monday after detectives communicated with a man who was led to believe that he was talking to a 16-year-old girl, the department said in a news release. A detective arranged to meet with him, and he was arrested outside his vehicle without incident.

He remained jailed in Bloomington on Tuesday afternoon pending his transfer to the Hennepin County Jail in Minneapolis, Deputy Chief Kim Clauson said. She said she did not know if he had a lawyer who could speak on his behalf or if he had spoken with an investigator. Jail staff would not take a message for him.

I guess this means no Town Halls for Comer.

So apparently violently storming the Capitol in an effort to overthrow an election = misguided high spirits, while firebombing a few Teslas = domestic terrorism.

The Jewish president of Mexico is obviously an antisemite, it seems.
