We identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, @GlomarResponder as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

A Missouri lawmaker is trying to get a vote for a bill that will "maintain a central registry of each expectant mother who is at risk for seeking an abortion of her unborn child (...)"

(Missouri voters passed an amendment legalizing abortion this past November)

Literally not one voter in all of America voted for a candidate wanting them to dismantle the FAA as planes fall out of the sky.

And I’m guessing not one wanted a Real World star to run the aviation safety department. https://t.co/MDoylXlshy

[EU says Elon should not lie abt my blue check @emptywheel]

Since @elonmusk @DOGE haven't found the receipts they promised us on Friday, reupping this from earlier: One of the guys Trump fired on day four, Larry Turner, found $191B in improper COVID payments, much of it fraud, and was chasing $135B more when he was fired.

Those are receipts.

Trump’s team continues its pursuit of mineral rights in Ukraine as a “payback” for the aid previously authorized by Congress. This is beyond disgraceful. No great country would ever try to shake down a nation that is in the midst of fighting off Russia’s genocidal invasion.

HAPPENING NOW: No Kings on Presidents Day rally in #Tucson.

This is the largest rally I’ve seen in Tucson since the Supreme Court overturned Roe V. Wade in June 2022.

"We reject fascism. We reject the oligarchy. We reject the idea that any person's worth is less than another's," said the 50501 movement, which organized the nationwide day of action. https://t.co/69hUgIiyxo

The employees were fired “without cause nor based on performance or conduct,” Spero said, and the emails were “from an ‘exec order’ Microsoft email address” — not a government email address.

Let’s be extremely clear about what is happening at USAID:

The President is letting the wealthiest individual on the planet tear apart an organization that provides MEDICINE and FOOD to the poorest children on Earth.

A DOGE official who is currently based at the IRS is expected to gain access to the agency's highly sensitive taxpayer data system "imminently," per a source familiar with the plans

Among the data: Social Security numbers, banking info & tax returns https://t.co/XyTv78Lgww

1. OSHA has ordered the digital and physical destruction of 18 publications on workplace safety practices, according to an email obtained by Popular Information.

The email says the publications have been removed from the web and tells staff that physical copies should be "disposed of or recycled"

DPS confirmed State Senator Jake Hoffman was pulled over for going 89 MPH in a posted speed limit zone of 65 MPH on January 22, but he was not cited due to what is called “legislative immunity".

This is the prison in El Salvador where Trump wants to send people coming to America. It looks like a concentration camp. They get one meal a day, no mattresses, and no room to sleep. @CBSNews

[Tommy Vietor @TVietor08]

Elon Musk has endorsed the AfD in Germany's upcoming elections. JD Vance flew to Munich and scolded other political parties for refusing to work with the AfD. Below is why Germans who actually know what the hell they are talking about never want to see the AfD in power.

Arizona state senator drove 30+ miles over speed limit on Mesa freeway, DPS says, but got away from a speeding ticket due to legislative immunity https://t.co/hR68kFZbWn

Submitted a Veto Request to Governor Hobbs for HB2703/SB1011. These bills would make it so voters couldn’t drop off a mail ballot after 7pm on the Fri before an election. That means Sat, Mon and Tues we’d have to hope that voter was able to vote a site-issued ballot.
