another Nazi salute at CPAC

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].

JEFFRIES: “we have no leverage” SCHUMER: *pulls out a lime and limply waves it around* BERNIE:

If members of Congress—like Rep. Grothman —are this clueless about what the man who is dismantling our government is saying and promising, they don’t deserve to keep their jobs! This woman is in his face, begging him to wake TF up—and he just walks off. Pathetic.

The week in review:

I'm dumb. I can't figure out how to end world hunger. But I do promise that I will continue to change healthcare in this country and make it more affordable, possibly setting a path towards Universal Healthcare.

ProPublica has released another study related to the effects of abortion bans in the U.S., this time showing a spike in sepsis cases in Texas following the implementation of that state's "heartbeat" abortion ban in 2021.

Woah!

How long until they realize FAFO

More of this. Do not give in.

Here's video of Steve Bannon doing a Sieg Heil today at CPAC. It is what it is and it's what Bannon intended. Don't let yourself be gaslit.

i think it is cool that de facto first consul of the united states is a drug-addled maniac and deadbeat dad with a breeding fetish

A very photogenic leopard

This piece by @dieworkwear.bsky.social is just super thoughtful and full of revelations. Love.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

Possibly the best book dedication ever.. 💙📚#booksky

NO KINGS, ONLY TRAINS is a pretty great 2028 slogan for anyone who wants it

The cybersecurity lead for VA.gov was fired last week. He tells WIRED that the Veterans Affairs digital hub will be more vulnerable without someone in his role.

We just won a court order stopping DOGE and unauthorized, unelected, and unvetted individuals like Elon Musk from accessing people's private data and blocking federal funds. We will keep fighting to protect all Americans from this administration’s destruction.

I guess Trump’s Special Envoy doesn’t agree with him that Zelensky is a corrupt, incompetent dictator. Pretty schizophrenic foreign policy.

Yo DOGE, Found your waste! 👇🏼

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

Some updates: 1. A federal judge extended a restraining order blocking the National Institutes of Health from cutting research funds until she rules on a permanent injunction. 2. The IRS will not allow a member of Elon Musk’s team to access individual tax returns.

After a lifetime on the frontiers of the fight against HIV, researchers can finally see the end of the epidemic in sight. But thanks to the Trump administration’s executive orders, it’s unclear when—or possibly even ever—this breakthrough medicine will see the light of day.

FOX NEWS: You are against people bringing in eggs that have not been-- I mean, we have the USDA for a reason. These could be contaminated and bring illnesses in. GALLEGO: Absolutely. This is why we shouldn't be firing USDA inspectors that are actually doing oversight over avian flu

The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) was established by Benjamin Franklin in 1775 when the Second Continental Congress appointed him as the first Postmaster General.

DOGE = Department of Gross Errors

J6 defendant Bigo Barnett, who put his feet up on Nancy Pelosi’s desk, is upset that he’s being kicked out of CPAC since he is such a legendary MAGA hero who served his country on J6 for Trump.

Well I never! Almost right apart from it is KGB. Blame the proofreader!

Trump wanting to take on Canada, Mexico, Panama, Columbia, Greenland, Denmark, Taiwan, Ukraine and Europe is just a smokescreen to deflect on the total mess he is making of the US economy in only 4 weeks!

Seemingly not bothered by the presence of vehicles and people, this alligator is focused on one thing only - lunchtime.
