Elon Musk's pinned tweet right now.

WSJ's analysis of the fraudulent claims about savings that DOGE is making comes to similar conclusions NPR did earlier: $2.6B v $2B of real savings. But it also notes how much of the cuts are research focused. It also notes that JUST 2% would go to DEI. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

you shouldn’t care about it because they might be coming for you next, you should care that they’re coming for anyone at all

New Doge/Musk Email Goes Seriously Sideways talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/new-d...

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

The House could vote next week on drastic cuts to Medicaid that would gut critical programs that protect the civil rights and dignity of millions of Americans — including people with disabilities. Contact your member of Congress: No cuts to Medicaid.

Every day, the goals become clearer: The point of DOGE is not efficiency, but regime change www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

A fact-driven timeline cleanse

Timeline cleanse. Beautiful writing about life and love.

I am inundated with messages from federal workers who are feeling frantic, furious and fed up after receiving Musk’s email and reading his threatening X post. The psychological warfare is the point.

Just putting this out there and reminding people about that sabotage manual that gets linked every now and then

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

Hey @pbsnews.bsky.social I noticed you didn’t post a link on here to your 12 minute interview with Michael Knowles, who has explicitly called for the eradication of trans people. Are you not proud of your work?

DANCE FOR ME, PEASANTS! DANCE!

this is an act of unspeakable violence. it benefits no one, it doesn’t move a number on a balance sheet. it only guarantees that every one of these incarcerated transgender people will be tortured.

Heh

Replace "western" with "white" and "unvetted" with "non-white," and you'll understand exactly what he's saying here.

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...

An entire government built on the premise of owning the libs. Revolting.

I really didn't think there could be a worse USPS leadership, but here we are 😒

ny times, the most well financed, praised news source on the planet, able to influence govts, institutions, etc: "here's some lie, dont fact check it, just trust us" me, who failed high school geometry, googling while waiting for a burger: "yeah, that's not true." www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

NEW: Whitman Walker, a LGBTQ health center in Washington DC, has scrubbed its site of descriptions of gender affirming care services. This is pure cowardice and stabbing the trans community in the back. While services are not affected, it will limit access to resources if patients can't find them.

Relax, our financial institutions are in good hands One of the thugs behind Trump's attempt to overturn the election is now his top person at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau The fact that his crimes got him disbarred makes him all the more qualified talkingpointsmemo.com/where-things...

Trump: "I did ask Elon because he knows more about computers than anybody I know. I said, what do you think of the voting system? He said, computers are not meant for voting. It's too many transactions taking place too quickly."

"We are the federal law"

Just had an excellent interview with @advocate.com, and I really think this one is worth your time to read.

2 fucking headlines right next to each other

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.

Holy crap. At his town hall last night, Rep. Rich McCormick compared *his own constituents* who asked him tough and fair questions to January 6 insurrectionists

Donald Trump and Elon Musk have fired “multiple FAA lawyers whose job was to help prevent pilots with drug and alcohol problems from getting in the cockpit.” Musk and Trump want you to die in an airplane crash. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

You know it’s bad when this is the post’s cover

trump wants to be able to tell the USPS not to deliver ballots to blue states www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

if only i could harness the monsters in my brain and point them at the bad guys this would all be over so quick

Just as we warned, Brendan Carr is establishing himself as America's top censor, and he's not being shy about it. And a hearty "fuck you" to anyone who insisted Carr was a "free speech warrior."

If you're watching Apple Cider Vinegar on Netflix, it's worth learning about the role of commercial media in Aus in failing to vet or investigate Gibson's story www.abc.net.au/mediawatch/e...

Once upon a time, these were actions by a private company. Now they are actions being undertaken by a high-ranking government official, in connection with his public activities. This raises 1A issues that didn’t exist before.

Did the @nytimes.com really quote the mf-ing communications director of the Houston YOUNG REPUBLICANS as if he were just some random young Black person who likes Trump? Cause it sure looks like it.

I'm sorry but I'm just not going to be cowering in fear of these clowns. They suck and they are cruel but they are not God.

🚨DOJ is ending restrictions on removing admin law judges, calling them "unconstitutional." 1. DOJ doesn't decide what's constitutional. 2. Someone better sue them over this before they start firing federal judges ruling against Trump.🫣

"Tyranny is rising in the White House, and a man has declared himself our king. So I would like to know—rather, the *people* would like to know, what you, Congressman, and your fellow congressmen are going to do to rein in the megalomaniac in the White House."

Here's video of Steve Bannon doing a Sieg Heil today at CPAC. It is what it is and it's what Bannon intended. Don't let yourself be gaslit.

More of this. The fuck are you doing promoting a book when the country is falling apart?

Over on LinkedIn, the head of the Executive Secretariat of the NIH -- a central part of NIH leadership 🧪🩺-- resigned with a lettter worth reading www.linkedin.com/posts/nathan...
