Yesterday it was revealed that the Trump administration is expected to purchase $400 million worth of armored Tesla vehicles. After the story broke, the State Department's procurement document removed mention of Tesla. "Transparency."

Hmmmmmm: the State Department’s procurement forecast detailing a $400 million order for "armored Tesla" has now been edited to "armored electric vehicles." The document shows the edit was made tonight at 9:12 p.m. -- after it was highlighted in reports. Plus, Trump hates EVs! “Drill Baby Drill”

This is hilarious. I especially like the annexation of Green Bay and the mystery Mississippi River announcement.

Trump's CFPB, now under the command of billionaire hedge fund manager Scott Bessent, has halted the Biden admin's rule to ban medical bills from credit reports. It's been estimated that the rule would help improve the credit scores of 15 million people. Some populist, huh?

“Delete” the CFPB & IRS. Abolish bank regulators. Gut Social Security and Medicare. The Musk-Trump administration’s plots all boil down to the same thing: swindle working people, funnel money to the ultra-rich.

Maddow: I think it's pretty obvious now that they are using DEI as just a pretext. They're giving everything that, you know, unfashionable boogeyman label to try to avoid people in general, realizing that what they're really doing is just wrecking the US government

Trump has begun his second term with vengeance towards his enemies and subservience towards the oligarchs. Robert Reich and Heather Lofthouse break it all down on this week's Coffee Klatch.

The U.S. Air Force has removed a video about the Tuskegee Airmen from its basic training curriculum at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland following Trump’s executive order banning federal DEI initiatives. The Tuskegee Airmen were pioneering Black pilots renowned for their service during World War II.

We’re in the second Gilded Age just like the first — when America’s wealth was in the hands of a few, money corrupted politics, and working people were abused and exploited. It can be easy to feel discouraged, but the first Gilded Age teaches us lessons on how we can fight back.

The Trump administration warned federal employees of “adverse consequences” for not reporting colleagues resisting orders to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, giving a 10-day deadline to report via a special email account.

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research. I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.

Hold the fuck on — Donald Trump spent 4 years saying “infrastructure week” was coming and it never came, and then Joe Biden actually got it done, and then Trump got back into office and immediately paused spending on… wait for it… INFRASTRUCTURE! Are you fucking kidding me?!

So it's dangerous for China to have the ability to access our data and manipulate us via social media apps. But it's okay for America's billionaires to have the ability to access our data and manipulate us via social media apps. Do I have this right?

Four years ago, Trump handed Biden a nation in the throes of a deadly pandemic and economic collapse. On Monday, Biden will hand Trump a post-covid America with an economy that's been bolstered by major public investments. The cycle of Democrats cleaning up GOP messes goes on.
