My friend here is disgruntled - our society is under attack, the near future is grim. I remind them that it is Spring and Nature is showing us her best. Please gruntle yourself today - get outside among the trees, wildlowers, rocks. Enjoy what Spring has for you and leave ugliness aside for a while.

Not seeing it widely reported, but it’s on— over the past two days we have gotten many reports of fired contract employees at NIH. These are people who were on the arbitrary DOGE 35% cut list, and notifications are trickling out from their contract firms. 1/3

This headline construction could apply to nearly anyone in the Trump 2.0 administration. "The EPA Head Who Hates the Environment." "The HHS Secretary Who Hates Science-Based Medicine." "The Education Sec. Who Hates Education." "The President Who Hates Democracy." The nihilism is a throughline.

Just spoke with my CDC sources. They were in tears. Budgets cut. RFJK has ordered them not to publicize bird flu symptoms in exposed workers. Not to test them. Not to speak. They know people are getting sick. And they’re being forced to stay silent. This is not just a cover-up. It's cruelty.

🚨So, why are uninhabited islands tariffed? A: The White House is even more stupid than you thought. Tariffs have been done by internet domains, not by country! So Heard & McDonald Islands (.hm) has a different domain to Australia (.au). So the penguins are considered a separate trading nation. 🤯

I hope I may speak for my fellow historians of the Great Depression when I say: you do not want our expertise to be relevant

The stupidity in Trump’s new tariffs is apparently limitless. He has introduced a 10% tariff on the British Indian Ocean Territory. The only inhabited island there is Diego Garcia, home to US service personnel. TRUMP HAS PUT A TARIFF ON A US MILITARY BASE 🤡

MEMPHIS VS. MUSK: “There’s a silent takeover happening in MEMPHIS, and the people most affected by it are being left in the dark… Elon Musk claims XAI will create over 300 jobs, but only 37 listings exist and they’re mostly in California...”

In cutthroat cultures, people kiss up and kick down. They protect themselves by currying favor with people in power and exploiting those without it. In supportive cultures, people speak up and shield down. They protect others who lack power by raising problems to those who have it.

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

Today, a reporter from the Russian state news agency TASS gained unauthorized access to the Oval Office. How does one gain unauthorized access to the Oval Office? Meanwhile, AP and Reuters were blocked.

The goal is to terrorize federal workers into quitting. That’s it. Constant changes. Canceling work from home then closing offices. Laying off probationary employees. It’s designed to break the government. Then privatize it for profit. It’s not efficiency. It’s collapse. Only peasants will suffer.

“The US government is about to lose decades of institutional knowledge across who knows how many agencies, including specialists that aren’t readily replaced by loyalists.” “It’s worse than you think in the same way that your brain breaks a little when you try to picture how deep the ocean is.“

Is the guy wielding a chainsaw the best person to be in charge of federal budget cuts?

CLAIM: The House budget resolution (H Con Res 14) doesn't touch Medicaid. FACT: The resolution directs the Energy & Commerce committee, which oversees Medicaid, to find $880 billion in cuts, and Republicans have openly called for spending less on Medicaid. Connect the dots.

NEW: Incoming German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has said his priority is to strengthen Europe to “achieve independence from the US.” 🇩🇪 He also compared Trump’s administration to Putin’s, blasting Washington’s election interference as “no less brazen than Moscow’s.” The global order has upended.

Dear all federal employees, DO. NOT. RESPOND. Default to your union now. Musk has zero official authority in government. Dare him to fire the entire federal government on Monday.

It feels like no one should have to say this, and yet we are in a situation where it needs to be said, very loudly and clearly, before it’s too late to do anything about it: The United States is not a startup. If you run it like one, it will break. 🔗 www.wired.com/story/the-us...
