WIRED health & biotech writer here. If you're a USDA employee working on the government's response to the H5N1 bird flu outbreak and would like to speak securely about what's happening at the agency, please reach out to me on Signal at emullin.06. I can honor requests for anonymity.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Anyone else see that Cybertruck stuck in the snow while the Honda Fit drives right past it? Pretty much sums up America vs rest of 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.

@bsky.app Is so much nicer than. Twitter was just 9 years ago. Note Twitter is a cesspool

This is like opposing a joint resolution declaring that the Sun sets in the West America doesn’t just look like an idiot here, we look like goddamn Flat Earthers

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

Carville: USAID spent $41 billion the federal budget is 6 trillion. Actually comes to something like .014%. So take that and put it against the 6 trillion and see what you have done when your president is responsible for more federal debt than any president in the history of the United States.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

Imagine having millions of dollars and yet still being so free you have to steal from disabled children.

He should be our messenger.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov thank you for stand up for Illinoisans and for Americans! ❤️ an Illinoisan.

Now, more than ever, we need a leader like Gov. Pritzker, not the clown currently in the White House.

Gov. Pritzker nails it.

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.

It will take a generation to repay what trump has destroyed in a month

SCOOP: On his second day as HHS secretary, RFK Jr., the onetime environmentalist, killed climate change programs at NIH that research and prepare for the health effects of extreme weather and a warming planet. This is not going to make Americans healthy. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Trump wants you to forget that he gutted the Aviation Safety Committee and ousted the FAA administrator during his first week in office. Don’t forget.

Now why couldn’t we get THIS kind of TV start in the US? No! We got the treasonous tangerine.

@raskin.house.gov: "The whole anti-corruption crusade is an absolute fraud. They started by decimating the ranks of the inspectors general. These are the people whose job is actually, day in and day out, 365 days a year, to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in the departments and the agencies."

Susan Colin’s is The mom at the grocery store with the child from hell trying to ”gentle parent” Trump. While what he really needs is a whooping.

This afternoon, the top FDA food official responsible for overseeing America's food safety and inspections resigned from the federal government.

It’s a conundrum. 🤷‍♂️

In the past week, we had Hegseth giving away key concessions before talks even began, Rubio in Saudi Arabia negotiating with Russia without Ukraine at the table, and Trump blaming Ukraine for Russia’s invasion. Putin couldn’t have written this pro-Russia script better himself.

AOC has the right idea. Corporate welfare costs us $92 billion, the top 1 percent will receive an average tax cut of more than $60,000 in 2025, and it is estimated that extending his 2017 tax cuts will cost $11 trillion over 10 years. Let’s work on getting rid of the waste that is already there.

Elon Musk has now illegally fired: - USDA employees amidst a bird flu outbreak - FAA chair amid a plane crash epidemic - People in charge of protecting us from nuclear attack At this point Musk has to be considered a terrorist attacking the United States.

Trump on Hannity just now: "I always respected [Musk]" Trump in 2022:

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

Jim Acosta: I think the AP should consider whether or not to sue the administration… and the rest of the press corps should start seriously considering whether it’s worth sending everyone into the Oval Office, onto Air Force One, or into the briefing room.
