@TexasObserver @josephinelee it's so gross and so awful.

@esk Dependencies are the worst!

@politico @politics-politico Executive orders don’t mean shit for birthright citizenship

@jerry That would be so awful :(

@Salon @news-politics-Salon That's really not a great idea since he has no real authority here. Trump did shit like that all the time (and will again soon). While I support the ERA, it pretty clearly expired before it was properly ratified and needs to go back through it. No sense in causing confusion.

@politico @politics-politico that piece of shit.

Really good video the Tailscale folks did!

I was thinking about this when they said they were moving indoors today...pretty sure it was freezing as shit when Obama got sworn in. The Orange Cheeto is so vain.

Texas Governor has no authority over the national flag. That's Congress. So, my flag will remain in place on inauguration day....and perhaps for the next four years.

@dansup Is it ready for self hosting and federating?

@w7voa Also, it doesn't matter. My flag will be at half staff.

@w7voa how is he in charge of that decision? I get him being Speaker gives him lots of control within and around the building, but Congress has a law on the books (The Flag Code) that specifies otherwise.

Also, learning about a similar incident in the past around Regan's funeral - shameful both ways.

@pbump brings a new level of unqualified to unqualified

@politico @congress-politico that's quite a change of tune from yesterday. someone must have reminded him how much federal aid his state gets from places like...california

If the Supreme Court sides with Texas in this week’s case, it would open the door to a slew of state laws that frustrate internet users' First Amendment rights and make them less secure online. Here's what you need to know about the upcoming arguments. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/01/

Even though Trump will walk free and take his oath of office on January 20, he still is and will always be a convicted felon.
