This Ain’t The Apprentice. Stop Calling Them Firings. They’re Purges. talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

Seeing "Stop The Thiel." Love it.

Bird flu is now spreading from birds to pets to people, but Donald doesn't want you to know that because it might make him look bad.

President Donald Trump is sending Elon Musk’s DOGE to the Pentagon. That has investors nervous. www.npr.org/2025/02/07/n...

Check out this story from USA TODAY: People are becoming wary of hospitals, waiting rooms empty and doctors concerned As Trump floods streets with immigration agents to target people for deportation, doctors are struggling to get people inside for basic care. www.usatoday.com/story/life/h...

I don't get it: trump is firing lifetime law enforcement officers who keep us safe, but he wants to bring back some racist DOGE bro who bragged he was "racist before it was cool" at JD Couch's suggestion? Insanity.

If that little racist was talking shit about couches, JD Vance would’ve challenged him to a duel.

It's outrageous that the UK secretly ordered Apple to build an encryption backdoor that would let it spy on Americans and won't even confirm it. Now more than ever, we need end-to-end encryption www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

#DefundSpaceX, you nazi asshole. 🤬

i think ole Elon Musk needs to hire real Americans rather than fill his companies with folks on H-1B visas surly they don't meet the D.O.G.E. test💙

1) The troll on the internet had access to our Treasury Department's most sensitive data. 2) He's not a kid. He's 25 years old. 3) JD Vance disgusts me.

huh, i wonder what this is about www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Open question to the Christian Nationalists: Who would Jesus deport?

Doesn’t cutting their funding count as anti-Christian discrimination?

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

I do believe that PPP fraud and Pentagon spending really need to be audited

A blind man is raising concerns about Indiana gun laws after he was allowed to get a license to carry a handgun

So Pete Hegseth, please explain how this happened under your watch. Reminder that Hegseth used to be a Fox newscaster, now he’s in charge of the US military. www.foxnews.com/world/us-mil...

US farmers sold $2 billion of food to USAID. Not any more. - US farmers provided 41% of food delivered by USAID - $340M of purchases/shipments are now paused. Over 680,000 tonnes. - Food stranded in Houston - Aid stopped in transit. The world’s poor starving, food rotting & US farmers screwed.

Six ways to send a message to your representatives www.theverge.com/how-to/60620...

It should alarm us all that sitting U.S. Congress members are being denied entry to the Department of Education. These are our government representatives, they should be able to walk into a department of our government.

🚨 A plane operated by Bering Air carrying 10 people vanished Thursday afternoon while traveling from Unalakleet to Nome in Western Alaska. The plane was about 12 miles offshore when its position was lost on the radar. A search is underway for the missing Cessna aircraft.

Did you know Musk is trying to put a Battery factory in South Africa. The government of South Africa requires new businesses to employ 30% of its people from diverse origins that live in S.Africa. So he cuts funding for USAID used there to blackmail them into changing the regs. #MuskIsAFascist

Congrats America!

First they came 4 CRT. Then they came 4 DEI. Next they are coming 4 laws enabling lawsuits based on “disparate impact” discrimination. 1/ www.wsj.com/opinion/dei-...

Then there's this.... Thoughts?

Happy Friday, folks! Hold the line and be good to each other 💙💙💙

DOGE is reportedly threatening NOAA with massive staff and budget cuts. NOAA houses the National Weather Service and National Hurricane Center, which produce forecasts and warn people about storms. This attack on public safety is ripped straight from the pages of Project 2025.

I shouldn’t laugh at this but I somehow needed to.

Woo woo woo! So, we’re talking about saving taxpayers’ money, Congress? Federal employee compensation costs $271 billion—so even if you fired all of us, that’s all you’d save.

It’s been a crazy week. Here’s something really important that you may have missed: youtu.be/QsvksLFDalE?...

Operation ICE Ride-Along isn’t going as planned. 🔥 Fox News tagged along with ICE, hoping for an exclusive look at “dangerous criminals.” Instead, they got a whole lot of nothing. No threats, no big arrests—just a community that wasn’t having it. The narrative is falling apart.

SCOOP: A US Treasury threat intelligence analysis has designated DOGE staff an ‘insider threat'. An internal email reviewed by WIRED calls DOGE staff's access to federal payments systems “the single biggest insider threat risk the Bureau of the Fiscal Service has ever faced.”

I found this very interesting! Share holders of Tesla stock sold their shares yesterday. Quarterly reports for 1&2 will be negative. I also found another article saying his stock shares dip below $360 and he is in trouble! electrek.co/2025/02/06/t...
