A WSJ analysis found that many claims of savings by Elon Musk’s DOGE were overstated—and “woke” cuts were only a tiny fraction of the total www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Tim Kaine on Fox News Sunday: Why isn't Trump getting the Republican leaders down in the White House and saying, 'here's what we're gonna do'? He's making all these cuts without Congress because he doesn't even think the Republican leadership will go along with him

One thing that's hard to gauge: What is the line where four Senate Republicans would tell Trump no on something and *vote* that way. It hasn't happened yet. Whenever a potential decisive vote flirts with a defection, they have folded fast. Their social media or hallway complaints aren't votes.

roses are red, the constitution got whacked, their tech savior built a website that’s already been hacked.

$64,000 question right now - does MAGA like or hate Eric Adams? Could see them getting into a pretzel working this one out

So @stevevladeck.bsky.social correctly calls out the “this isn’t quid pro quo” footnote in the Bove “dismiss Adams” memo. It’s farcical. It’s self-defeating. Again: so many of these people are so ideology-clouded that their advocacy sucks. www.stevevladeck.com/p/124-the-th...

New via NYT — The CIA sent the White House an unclassified email listing all employees hired by the spy agency over the last two years to comply with an executive order to shrink the federal work force. One former agency officer called the reporting of names a “counterintelligence disaster.”

AXIOS: “.. Trump started promoting a memecoin three days before taking office .. Most Americans didn't realize there are basically no limitations on presidents profiting off their reins of power ... Now, they do.” @axios.com www.axios.com/2025/02/02/t...

Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."

“Henderson said he was inspired by Candance Owens, a conservative Black pundit who previously called Nashville home.”

THREAD: Let's walk through some of the serious/potentially unethical/signs of manipulation/conflict of interest that have already been identified by lawyers/crypto experts re $Trump-the memecoin the Trump family cyrpto created on Friday. First, here's our latest story www.nytimes.com/2025/01/19/u...

What if the top 100 or so social media voices all said to leave or went on deactivation” strike” and told followers to do same? Why can’t we unionize as “USERS” of this business? We are literally the assets that create revenue for them

Amen! I am now in love with @rebeccashaw.bsky.social

Anyone telling you Goldman Sachs CEO, David Soloman, is worth $88 million retainment package is smoking crack....or named David Soloman. The dude isn't even worth 2% of that figure. America is a pressure cooker and the new oligarchs are going to blow it all open

@profgalloway.com loved hearing the emotion in your voice at the end of this segment. Have shared with so many people

I really, really don't want to do this, but let's do a bit (just a LITTLE BIT) of fact checking about what Zuck said on the Joe Rogan podcast, because this is something I not only followed closely, but also spent time *talking to the actual people at Meta who dealt with this* which WAS NOT ZUCK.

AXIOS: “There have been more jobs gained under Biden's term than under the full terms of former Presidents Trump, Obama, or George W. Bush.” www.axios.com/2025/01/10/i...

The 48 hours around New Year's saw three terror incidents—the media and government is misleading and obfuscating the reality of two of them. It's a particularly troubling (but not surprising) development amid the anniversary of January 6th too: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/the-holida...

Listening to Margaret Brennan @facethenation.bsky.social interview Pelosi and attempt to excuse J6 insurrectionist behavior because they are “blue collar” workers and “small business owners”. What a fu-king disgrace to my alma mater, UVA. We are screwed.
