The director of the FDA’s food division resigned on Monday, saying the loss of critical employees made his work impossible. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President Trump’s new health secretary, has pledged to gut the division.

Now that musk is saying he’s doing the DOGE stuff “because the globalists have plotted a Great Replacement in which they use government handouts to buy votes from illegal immigrants and urban blacks” maybe we don’t have to act like this is about deficits or cost cutting anymore

A good general epistemic rule of thumb: If you have spent a few hours or weeks studying an area large numbers of smart, educated people have worked in for decades, and you believe you have discoverer an earthshattering truth they all missed, your default should be to regard this as VERY unlikely.

Here we go: The Acting Solicitor General has asked #SCOTUS to immediately freeze (and vacate) the district court order that had temporarily reinstated Hampton Dellinger atop DOJ’s Office of Special Counsel: utexas.box.com/s/h0m91y7nes... I’ll have much more on this in tomorrow’s “One First.”

Elon Musk has no authority to strip funding from our state and local governments or to eviscerate the federal government, but that’s exactly what he’s doing. I’m suing to stop him before he does any further damage to our democracy. Read more here: ago.vermont.gov/blog/2025/02...

Excellent by @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social "If you’re always consumed by the next outrage, you can’t look closely at the last one. The impression of Trump’s power remains; the fact that he keeps stepping on rakes is missed. The projection of strength obscures the reality of weakness. Don’t believe him."

If you want to understand how f'd we are, first read this excellent piece below by @marisakabas.bsky.social and then read the book Character Limit by @kateconger.com and @rmac.bsky.social about how Musk destroyed Twitter through hubris and incompetence. That's what he's about to do to our economy.

If Elon Musk and his unsanctioned team of techno thieves and pirates are interfering with any payments designated by Congress, that’s a flat-out crime And Democratic Attorneys General in every state need to prosecute them

No one's blaming Democrats for causing this crisis, but yes, many of them are failing to meet this moment. One Democratic senator could bring the chamber to a halt. House Dems can go to fed agencies being gutted by Musk with cameras in tow. Governors can push back. State AGs can bring lawsuits.

Hey Dems, Imagine just how much the GOP would be freaking the fuck out if Obama or Biden had allowed Soros access to all treasury payment and taxpayer data. Because they’d be right to freak the fuck out. So, freak the fuck out. Now would be good. XOXO Timmer

Only Donald Trump could think it makes sense to punish Mexico and Canada more than China. Although keep in mind, the real punishment is for Americans. This is a direct Trump tax on us, consumers, that we will pay.
