I think there’s this tendency to assume Musk enters each agency with some kind of plan. But his office is 30 people, largely children, and the federal government employs millions. He spends half his time on drugs, tweeting, doing interviews. It’s all random noise www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

People need to understand this: Trump did not leave office willingly the first time. If his health holds up, he will not leave office willingly this time. He is not joking about serving more than two terms.

A dark moment: I was looking to link a reference to something about the power grid, and of the first two links in Google's results, one was a .gov site and the other was a private site. I thought to myself "probably can't trust the .gov site anymore" so headed to the other one. 😕

Well, it seems as if someone has hacked into my dormant X account. And I can’t seem to close it. So if anything appears there, it’s not me

This was posted to my X account a few minutes ago (I deleted it immediately). To my knowledge I have not been hacked, was not the victim of a phishing scam, and I have two factor on. What could possibly explain it?

US Dept of Agriculture (USDA) has confirmed the #H5N1 strain in rats for the 1st time. These were rats sampled late January in CA, where 2 recent poultry outbreaks were reported. Others are a harbor seal in MA, a fox in ND, a bobcat in WA, and domestic cats in OR. www.cidrap.umn.edu/avian-influe...

DOGE needs to hear this: firing people – like USDA workers tracking bird flu and VA workers answering the Veterans Crisis Line – and then rehiring them is deeply inefficient.

My aunt, the doctor, told me a new joke. She said: Did you hear that “the USDA says it accidentally fired officials working on bird flu and is trying to rehire them.” But when I asked for the punchline, she informed me this was a real headline. And then neither of us laughed.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Russia is at its weakest in years. Putin is in a precarious situation. They are attacking western interests around the world and murdering Europeans. Why is Rubio bending a knee and showing weakness?

Egg prices are up 53% compared to last year and the spread of bird flu is a major reason why. How has Trump responded? By letting DOGE fire thousands of federal employees across the CDC, NIH, FDA, and the USDA who could respond to this outbreak.

Interestingly, the two books I read for Black History Month talked about institutional reparenting of Black children (The Black Angels by Maria Smilios and The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead). Our country has a long and dirty history of causing trauma to Black & indigenous children by doing this.
