"The DOJ will continue engaging tech companies to *eliminate platforms* . . ."

This is your daily reminder Bondi specifically, and MAGA generally, spent the last 4 years accusing the Biden admin of jawboning tech companies to take down content in violation of the 1A.

Mike Johnson: "With regard to Grijalva, our dear friend Julia Letlow won a special election in 2021. Speaker Pelosi took 25 days to administer the oath of office to her. No Democrats jumped up and down and screamed about that ... you do it as soon as you're able to do it."

🧵 Quick thread.

The dismantling of projects & programs continues at Interior during the shutdown & the Esmeralda 7 Solar Project in Nevada is one example of how excepted staff are being forced to advance agendas that aren’t time sensitive & sidestep normal regulatory process.
@altdoi.altgov.info

Interior cancels largest solar project in North America

It's the Trump administration's latest move to slow or block major clean energy projects.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

Did Republicans give Biden and the Democrats credit for freeing more than 100 Israeli hostages?

No?

Yeah, thought so.

Israel is playing Trump and MAGA right now. The entire world knows it except Trump and MAGA.

The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78.

Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.

Trump’s threat to invoke the Insurrection Act isn’t new, but it’s getting louder and from all directions!

We had years of warnings.
He told us what he’d do. Project 2025 laid it out, but too many shrugged.

How much is “enough” for everyone to start getting loud with one voice before it’s too late?

The entire incident is infuriating and terrifying. She’s a Latina woman who was working a service job. On her way home late at night, with her headphones in, she was detained for an hour by masked federal agents who wouldn’t give her their names.

Maria Greeley, 44, had just finished working a double shift at the Beach Bar on Ohio Street
earlier this month when she said she was surrounded by three federal agents who grabbed her, forced her hands behind her back and zip tied her.
Headphones in, Greeley had been focused on getting home to her two dogs for a walk.
Instead, she said she was detained by masked agents who did not answer when she asked for names. They questioned her for an hour, she said.

Media outlets from WaPo, NYT, AP, and CNN to Newsmax are refusing to sign the Pentagon’s new gag-order press policy in a rare moment of total bipartisan media unity. This is the way. We can have different ideologies, but we must have a free press.
