Elon Musk instructed federal workers to respond to an email summarizing their weekly accomplishments, a tactic he previously used to downsize staff at X. “Please reply to this email with approximately five bullet points of what you accomplished this week and CC your manager,” the message stated.

Are you bored tonight? Send your five accomplishments, maybe your shopping list, or your five thoughts on Elon from the past week to OPM at [email protected].

Members of the military are supposed to be loyal to the Constitution, not the president. Changing that seems to have been the point of the Friday Night Massacre. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

mpost.tribel.com/public/posts... avery sad story of loss to a disease there is a vaccine to prevent today. Not vaccinating puts children in danger of death.

Not content with purchasing the presidency, Elon Musk now wants to buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court as well. His PAC just pumped $1M into supporting anti-choice right-wing extremist Brad Schimel. Wisconsin — don't become Musk's latest acquisition! Vote @crawfordforwi.bsky.social.

In 2020, the military was adamant about refusing to get involved in the election. That's why Trump hates General Mark Milley so much. Now, Trump is transforming the military into one that will back him up in 2029. We need to figure out how to prepare for that eventuality.

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

Let me guess: they turn right toward fascism all the time! #SwasTesla #Swasticar

Annexation is implausible because Canadians know just how much the U.S. has shredded its own social safety net.

Something that's maddening about the cases involving DOGE access to our most sensitive private data and the irreparable harm standard is that the ACCESS ITSELF is the irreparable harm, and some judges just aren't getting that. (Some are, e.g., storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...)

If you or a loved one live in the Southern US, especially TX or New Mexico and are unaware of your Measles vaccine status, take the step to get your measles titers drawn to confirm protection.

On the one side, I do not love being a Jew in a country now ruled by explicit Nazis. On the other hand, this is all amazing ad footage for the Dems in 2026.

Outbreaks of measles in parts of Texas and New Mexico have sickened nearly 100 people, according to state health officials who warned that the number of cases was expected to rise.

You stay classy, San Diego.

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

The Trump administration is canceling presentations including book talks on important civil rights issues at the Carter Center & possibly elsewhere. Let’s celebrate these authors by buying & reading their books. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/a...

It was always America or Trump. Mitch McConnell made his choice a long time ago. Now, his legacy will always be tied to Trump and the attempt to destroy democracy.

I’ll keep pushing this line of analysis because I’m increasingly convinced the clearest path out of this mess is for Dems to adopt a relentless anti-corruption, anti-inequality, anti-oligarchy, pro-democracy platform. The Dem leadership hasn’t realized it yet, but they’re now a reform party.

ICYMI, last week we published an interactive map of more than $300 billion worth of Inflation Reduction Act and bipartisan infrastructure law funding. Enter your ZIP code or city and a search radius and find projects in your area: grist.org/accountabili...

When the wreckage and dust of what these people are doing to our country has settled and the people have finally had enough to throw these jackals out of office, we will never forget the people who enabled it, despite their protestations they weren’t willing accomplices. Never.

When even the New York Post has to publish this, you know you fucked up.

There are basically 5 ways to accumulate a billion dollars: 1) Profiting from a monopoly 2) Insider-trading 3) Political payoffs 4) Fraud 5) Inheritance Don’t believe the self-made myth.

Superb piece by my friend @stevenbeschloss.bsky.social about supporting foreign criticism of Trump's America. It's not unpatriotic of us to feel this way. It's a rejection of fascism and an endorsement of the need for freedom around the world.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Something odd just happened—an article that had been widely published on media sites has suddenly disappeared without any retraction or explanation. Many may have come across it on Reddit.

Governor Mills doesn’t suffer fools lightly, and it appears she has even less tolerance for bullies. (And as a former attorney general, she knows what she’s talking about.)

We're where we are today bc people's hate for others was stronger than their desire to look out for their own self interest. No, not just MAGA, low information voters, too. We will only make it out of this dystopia if we stop judging and start listening. Empathy & compassion are the only ways back.

Israel’s genocide in Gaza has destroyed over 1,000 miles of water and sanitation infrastructure in Gaza and reduced the region’s water capacity to a small fraction of what it was prior to the genocide.
