DOGE’s Only Public Ledger Is Riddled With Mistakes The figures from Elon Musk’s team of outsiders represent billions in government cuts. They are also full of accounting errors, outdated data and other miscalculations. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Quite the consequential Friday night massacre. They not only took out three top military leaders, but also the JAG officers who interpret what’s lawful and constitutional for military command.

If true then the US is now a genuine Russia-style mafia state. Russia extorts with energy-, the US with tech-dependence. I trust the conclusions we draw from this will also turn into a semblance of policy.

Ok, I'm doing a version of this thread for 🧪 who are new to political conditions where info security is a safety issue: 1. Don't make public lists of people who are engaging in acts of resistance 2. Be weary of calls to advertise acts of subversion 3. Don't live post resistance meetings

You sent us to war on a lie, cut our health benefits, and voted against every veterans bill that has hit the floor. We are the 47% you refer to as the "takers." You don't give a f*ck about us

The firings from the CDC and FDA are devastating. Just looking at how they gutted the medical device review part of the FDA. We already have an issue with medical devices not being appropriately scrutinized. Will we be able to trust any new devices going forward?

In a shocking turn of events, Proud Boys lead seditious conspirator Enrique Tarrio is back in a DC jail, having assaulted a protester in front of DC Metro Police officers. The aggregate # of incidents to come involving these pardoned pricks will be beyond count before it's done.

I couldn't live in a town without a public library. If I had to buy every book I read, I'd be spending many thousands of dollars a year, and my house would be overrun. A library is not a nice to have, it's an essential. It's one of the only free and freely accessible public spaces in a modern city.

For decades, the US government has painstakingly kept American science #1 globally—and every facet of American life has improved because of it. The internet? Flu shot? Ozempic? All grew out of federally-funded research. Now all that's being dismantled. 1/ www.technologyreview.com/2025/02/21/1...

Trump is looking bad because Biden deported more people in the same period of time he has. He thinks a new director is the answer. It’s not. He’s finding out about logistics. That, and he’s fucking stupid. apple.news/APNPTPv3LTou...

A year ago this month, Trump said he would encourage Russia to attack NATO allies and "do whatever the hell they want" unless allies paid up. We thought it was so important, we ran it on the front page of the @mississippifreepress.org at a time when the New York Times and others didn't.

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.

The primary role of the WI Supreme Court is to protect our constitutional rights—even when MAGA billionaires like Elon Musk want to meddle with our freedoms. That's why it's critical you pay attention to what's happening with the court and be a voter in the spring election.
