"We are in the process of being rendered unemployed, sick... and fearful of a law that works nakedly in the interest of Musk’s power. I still believe it is possible to stop what is in motion, but the window is closing. It has only been a month. Think of what a year will bring- and what we will lose"

We're going to develop a new human-transmissable strain of H5N1 influenza because some countries we sell to don't allow the import of vaccinated chicken meat.

Teslas have had issues in cold weather for at least a decade. Back in 2022 a group of customers in Norway literally went on hunger strike to try and get some support for all their issues. The company just doesn't care if their products work outside of southern California.

This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.

Every meme from Trump-Musk fans: MONEY FOR VETERANS, NOT IMMIGRANTS Every news story about Trump-Musk: MILITARY FAMILIES ROCKED BY MASS GOVERNMENT FIRINGS OF VETERANS

This guy represents a district that has gone about 60-40 to Trump in all of his elections btw

you couldn’t make indiana jones today because nazis would get mad

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

"“In the US, we appeal rulings we disagree with – we don’t ignore court orders or threaten judges with impeachment just because we don’t like the decision. This is a coup, plain and simple,” Arizona’s attorney general, Kris Mayes, said." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The court ordered that NIH grant funding be unfrozen, so The Regime found a way around it. For NIH grants to be funded, a review panel must rank them. In order for a review panel to meet, they must post it on the Federal Register. Submissions to the Federal Register are now on hold “indefinitely”.

In 2024, the NLRB filed a complaint against Tesla for interfering in a union drive at their Buffalo, NY assembly plant. Today:

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

I am begging the media to put the focus on what was cut, and what the effects of those cuts are likely to be, rather than some nebulous topline number that implies to people that they’re actually doing what they say they are their “savings” will cost us far more than this, in money and terror

NEW: Two weeks ago gov't IT experts warned us that the worst case scenario would be if DOGE got full admin access to agency systems. We can report at at least one agency DOGE has unfettered "god mode" access. Our latest: www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

At some point in the next two months every American is going to be asked to pay an enormous amount of money we can't really afford to lose to people who aren't being held accountable by any government oversight. Hippity-hoppity.

We wrote about how Musk is using X as a propaganda tool to demonize each of the agencies and programs that DOGE targets for cuts, providing air cover for his engineers' incursions — with the truth as collateral damage. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2... w/ @drewharwell.com

"The termination notices, which read 'effective today,' came within hours of a Russian drone striking the Chernobyl power plant in Ukraine. NNSA tracks nuclear risks in Ukraine, including through sensor systems."🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

A woman in Wyoming has been hospitalized with #H5N1 #birdflu, WY's health dept announced Friday. Likely exposure was to backyard poultry. Wyoming said #CDC confirmed the infection, though CDC did not add it to its H5 page today. Not clear if this is B3.13 or D1.1. health.wyo.gov/wyomings-fir...

Happy Valentines Day from “the Mouth”

SCOOP: The top US election security watchdog has frozen all of its efforts to aid states in securing elections. The move represents the first major example of the country’s cyber defense agency accommodating Trump’s false claims of election fraud and online censorship.
