Your gender is what you say it is. So tired of busybodies. Also how does making coffee way more expensive lower prices?

Fuuuuuuuuck

I really thought those "do not comply in advance" admonitions were stupid and unnecessary yet here everyone is, complying in advance.

FBI Uncovers Al-Qaeda Plot To Just Sit Back And Enjoy Collapse Of United States

This paper needs to die

Found out that TWENTY emails is considered a lot to politicians on an issue. TWENTY. As in, they call that getting slammed. So next time you see a request to email your rep, or call, keep that in mind. TWENTY is a lot.

Elon Musk claims to have "deleted" the office in the IRS which has enabled people to file their tax returns electronically, simply, and for free.

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

Not one American voted for the person who is laying waste to the federal government and hijacking the secure data of US citizens. I just wanted to lay it out: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

YES! The wisdom! Let the hate flow! Drink ALL the haterade! Because it's just and morally correct!

He introduced this bills mere days after the forced failure of the FAA cost 60+ lives

They are going after a dog who educates children about the dangers of landmines.

NEW: The board president of a small WV nonprofit says they haven't received their HHS funding since the Trump/Musk budget freeze. They had to lay off 3 of 5 employees on Friday. An 86-yr-old woman is counting on them to take her dialysis tomorrow. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I’m throwing this out into universe. I found myself unexpectedly without a day job at the end of 2024, so if you hear of any cool mechanical engineering jobs or writing gigs, please let me know! Temp and part time great too as I’m figuring out what I want to do next. Thanks all!

JUST IN: A federal judge in Washington says she's concerned that the White House is still implementing the spending freeze that she and a Rhode Island judge have ordered temporarily halted. Judge AliKhan is inclined to issue a restraining order.

Boy howdy the, I guess, citizen PACs or whatever they are are really pounding my texts with “if you don’t like [djt/elon threat] then sign this petition and send us money or you’re stupid” only I feel like I’m stupider if I actually send them money cuz djt/elon don’t gaf about petitions

So looks like they didn’t see anything wrong and they’re planning to do exactly nothing.

good on *one fucking va congressman* to make a move here. if the commonwealth’s entire caucus isn’t arm-in-arm with him today (given the number of virginians working in opm, usaid, etc., not to mention the national stakes) that’s a disgrace

I don't just want refusal to have any senate confirmations, I don't want to see a Senator or Congressperson doing anything but obstructing this shit show right now. That anyone is posting about legislation when we're all being told laws don't matter is what makes super villain origin stories.

🆕 Health Secretary Wes Streeting met with and expressed sympathy for members of a parents’ group that promotes conversion therapy and has been found to engage in child abuse against trans children, QueerAF can reveal. www.wearequeeraf.com/revealed-str...

Just wait until you see what they do with the data that Google and Facebook have. No matter how bad you think it is, I promise you it's worse.

Normal people: You should ban child torture Labour Party: Well, we met some people from the How to Torture Your Child Discord and they said a ban would actually be *more* harmful Centrists: Truly this is a complex issue 🤔 There are no easy answers 😞

Just spitballing, but things that could happen today: *Court injunction protecting USAID *Dems demand hearings on Musk's role *Someone introduce articles of impeachment *Dem officeholders go to USAID offices with USAID workers *Refuse to conduct any more Senate confirmations until this is resolved

There is quite literally a process for all this shit. Executive orders mean fuck all, complying to them before a plan is made and it goes through legislation is a choice. Fuck the news for not contextualizing this bullshit, fuck the American education system for phasing this information out

New York Democrats may push a bill that would delay the special election to fill Stefanik's seat until this summer: gothamist.com/news/ny-dems...
