I truly like you,Andrew. Words matter. Why not use despicable vs. remarkable? Were the events illegal or legal? I say this because when I hear remarkable,I think it's something surprisingly good vs. despicable, it's obviously not good. Words Matter. Time to use words that best describe Traitor45

@mrgrumpeepantz.bsky.social · Feb 1

Ok, now give us your take on Elon Musk & his cronies seizing the Office of Personnel Mgmt (aka HR), and locking workers (other than his) from the data. Honestly, this is scary.

Will the guardrails hold? Will liberal democracy survive four years of this?

@txhawk.bsky.social · Feb 1

Besides March on D.C. where he would love to have the military attack us what can we do? Contacting our representatives if you are in a red state like me won't change anything.

Perfect!

@247erin.bsky.social · Feb 1

Not sure firing the smartest lawyers in the country who can now launch an opposition strategy against Trump and his illegal activities was the smartest strategy 🤷‍♀️ Game on! 👏👏

Jubilado0505 · Feb 1

Good column, Andrew. The hits just keep coming. It’s gotten to the point I can barely read the news.

Cyn · Feb 1

Why aren’t they arresting Musk for illegally trying to access our treasury!?

ABW · Feb 1

These terminated agents need to take a page from the big orange 🤡 and flood the zone with the evidence, information and details of all the lies he told, and the laws he broke. Let him. spend some time cleaning up after himself.

My take: this is all fucking crazy. I don’t cuss. Now I have to.

@nomercy2026.bsky.social · Feb 1

Be aware of unemployed soldiers or agents in the field who might get angry …

Thank you Andrew.

We're done, aren't we?

Kathy Warnell · Feb 1

Thanks

@sharonbeverly.bsky.social · Feb 1

Thank you for sharing because I cannot see how this can be anything but illegal!!!

@omojuwadavid.bsky.social · Feb 1

Many thanks, Andrew! You're one of the most trusted voices out there—whether on Substack, Bluesky, or MSNBC. Grateful for your courage and wisdom in these dark times in U.S. history. #TruthMatters

@ianxz.bsky.social · Feb 1

Very well. I will say, "we are losing civilization from burning forests, for the trees". If this stands, democracy does not. This destroys independent justice. The President now determines what is/isn't investigated. Corruption - unchecked. Free speech - gone next. So much to list...

UncleBob · Feb 1

It would be nice to see all of the evidence laid out.

Marc Ash🇺🇦🇺🇸 · Feb 1

If the FBI purges and potentially others are "blatantly illegal" when goes the legal effort on behalf of those unlawfully terminated federal employees begin?

@1836republic.bsky.social · Feb 1

Get Ken Burns give him facts let him produce a continuing series of shorts for YouTube TikTok etc Aggressively follow the money because it always comes back w/ dt to $$$ & controlling & promoting his brand. Make dt & JD a toxic brand = to E coli in food

@1836republic.bsky.social · Feb 1

I will go read but if it doesn't contain some action plan then it is the equivalent of all the assurances that SCOTUS wouldn't give dt immunity from the rule of law making him at least an autocrat. Create a PAC solicit the funds & start coming after all of them individually. Sue dt for defamation

@happynewenglander.bsky.social · Feb 1

What's happening and why are we letting it happen?

@coachpena.bsky.social · Feb 1

Does this make us safer?

When is this a constitutional crisis??? When will this be stopped?? Amendment 25

Deb · Feb 1

You have a lot of good points. And, as he has done before with narcissistic ignorance, created a window for truth to shine through. Thank you for posting.

Awaken-Educate-Activate · Feb 1

thanks andrew! i'm glad they are moving quickly, this action is criminally disgusting, and one more step for his Autocratic Dreams🤬💩

@extex1013.bsky.social · Feb 1

So basically the terrorist ,if they choose, could do whatever they want right now because we have no FBI,CIA or SS

@bluepeacock.bsky.social · Feb 1

Andrew. What about Elon’s people nosing into our files. Shutting down info from gov employees? Who is going to stop this illegal activity. He hasn’t been confirmed by the senate to do anything he’s doing

Susan W · Feb 1

Watched Rachel Maddow tonight re the revenge firings of FBI employees at all levels. Many named to public, putting them at risk, particularly from J6 seditionists. (Just wait until republicans vote to let Kash Patel be the head of DOJ).

Enrique 🇲🇽🇺🇸 · Feb 1

Is there an organization which would take on a case like on behalf of several civil servants? Or is it simply up to each federal employee do pursue legal recourse? Also, a a former federal executive, an SES can be reassigned but not fired without cause, correct? What a 💩 show!

Starnite7 (Devin) · Feb 1

"remarkable" That's a choice in words one could use...

Karen Kelsey · Feb 1

Thank you for this information.

ClaireD · Feb 1

Just refuse! Make him fire you! Stand up on your hind legs and say NO!!

@sunshine3031.bsky.social · Feb 1

Where are the lawyers & judges to stop this? Or the removal of CDC re ords (records Act)? Or someone not even in govt & his team (Elon) marching in demanding access to a $6 trillion dollar national checkbook system, making the top guy quit? Only a few eyes have access! That's Soc sec cks, refunds,

@meriyen.bsky.social · Feb 1

The wholesale firing of FBI and Justice Dept employees will certainly be challenged in court. Federal employees have legal rights in this situation. The heads of departments may be political appointees who serve at the discretion of thrme President, but that doesn’t apply to career civil servants.

@wpc09.bsky.social · Feb 1

I hope the career civil servants at the FBI bring a massive lawsuit. None of this operates according to law and federal regulations.

Colin Laney · Feb 1

I really - really - hope you're right. Thank you 🙇‍♂️

Carol · Feb 1

Is there any recourse? How on earth can we tolerate this cruel and lawless imposter of a President? This is dystopian!

Silver Moon Musings / Gwen 🌙💜🕯️ · Feb 1

I am very angry and concerned about Elon Musk via DOGE attempting to access ALL Social Security data & forcing the resignation of David A. Lebryk. Most news sources are NOT reporting this. Please make noise over this!! Musk hasn’t been vetted by Congress to have access to OUR Social Security data!!

BungalowBILL · Feb 1

Get ready for martial law

DIGITALMB · Feb 1

Professor - we heard what you said about Elon's access to the Treasury being illegal. Problem is that neither Donald nor Elon cares about that at all. Since it seems obvious that they're hollowing out the enforcement arm to hobble it -- who will STOP them?? bsky.app/profile/kati...

Laura Zimmerman · Feb 1

Surprised that this is not sounding a more major alarm!
