Artists of good conscience should cancel. It sucks, but sometimes you have to do the hard thing to make things eventually right. You don’t want to be a collaborator.

Jeffries: hey the GOP controls the government, absolutely nothing i can do, gonna work on my personal book tour Sanders: brb i am going to personally barnstorm strategic GOP house districts and try to peel off 2 votes so we can block Trump's cuts to Medicaid www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

What Just Happened: Musk-OPM Send Email to Federal Employees Asking for Five Accomplishments Analysis by Professor Nicholas Bednar (@nicholasbednar.bsky.social) Bottom line up front: The threat of termination by implied resignation is legally invalid.

Every Dem Senator and Rep should publicly call Musk a dick and dare that dick DC US Atty to "investigate" them all.

hope this is true and plays out quickly

Fellas is it gay to enjoy having sex with women

The senator is going to receive one of those letters from that fucking guy in DC.

coming this holiday season

Thing that always gets confirmed for me when Steven does these is the very wealthy have way more money than good taste.

Christopher Miller is the Executive Director at Naval Sea Systems Command. VADM James Downey is the commander of Naval Sea Systems Command.

At least it’s above freezing.

NEW - President Trump is expected to name FBI Director Kash Patel as the acting head of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), according to sources familiar with the matter. A DOJ official says that Patel is expected to be sworn in as acting director early next week.

⚡️US mineral deal offers no security guarantees for Ukraine, NYT reports. The terms of the revised proposal are virtually the same as those of an earlier version rejected by President Volodymyr Zelensky, according to a draft dated Feb. 21.

Just a reminder that the neither the U.S. Digital Service (which has been converted into DOGE) nor OPM has any legal authority to direct every single federal government employee to give them a job summary. Literally no such authority at all.

This seems like a phisher's dream. Announcing that a government email is about to go out and that recipients are required to respond to it seems like the kind of thing cybercriminals would love to spoof in order to infect workers or trick them into revealing their login credentials.

Judiciary employees and likely federal judges all got the "what did you do last week" email.

This guy thinks he’s an MLB manager or something?

Your weekend @PKCapitol column: Forget fight over “one, big beautiful bill” or 2 reconciliation bullets. ICEBERG dead ahead: gov’t shuts down in less than 3 weeks as top leaders distracted. Usual spend-more-for-both-sides won’t work. Dems want Musk stopped. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

how many selfies?

It is insanely obvious that Elon Musk is illegally exercising the powers of a principal officer of the United States in violation of the appointments clause

Confirmation needed but this was one way many folks pointed out that RFK Jr can destroy vaccines without simply taking them away. ACIP reviews data and makes recommendations about vaccine usage in the US.

Guy who doesn’t even respond to the mothers of his children: reply to my email or you’re fired

Alleged sex pest says what

President Donald Trump met with New York Governor Kathy Hochul on Friday to defend New York City’s congestion pricing program, two days after his administration moved to block the toll program.

(AP) — Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team is eliminating jobs at the vehicle safety agency that oversees Tesla and has launched investigations into deadly crashes involving his company’s cars. #OligarchEra 🇺🇸 apnews.com/article/musk...

that’s a shame

Pretty sure this guy is going straight to Hell when his time comes. No time in purgatory.

It's $80-ish each way, too. For the same dates, the cheapest flight was twice as much. On Spirit.

Here we go…

Reminder that Obama gave that fucking guy an award for deporting people.

This guy deserves every bad thing that will ever come his way.

Where’s Antifa to bash some Nazi heads in when you need them?

Interesting thing for the President to say about a person who, according the government’s lawyers, “has no actual or formal authority to make government decisions himself” and “only has the ability to advise the President, or communicate the President’s directives.”

Elon Musk’s team has descended on an already understaffed Social Security Administration, which now faces further workforce cuts and closures of vital local offices. The consequences could be significant for millions of the most vulnerable Americans.

Gov. Mills showed precisely the sort of integrity in the face of political pressure that the majority of the party currently lacks. More importantly, she did so extemporaneously and without hesitation from a purple state where this isn't a universally popular position. www.maine.gov/governor/mil...

Reuters reporting that the U.S. has threatened Ukraine with the “imminent” shutoff of Starlink access unless the country agrees to handover control of rare earth minerals to the United States. www.reuters.com/business/us-...

It’s not like we were short on evidence for this, but the Supreme Court’s silence in response to Trump’s announcement that he’s just going to ignore a 5-year-old ruling really shows how worthless the Court is as an institution for “doing justice” ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/trump...

Musk and DOGE are closing local Social Security offices, making it hard for people with disabilities to access help. Frank Bisignano, former FISERV CEO, is Trump’s nominee for commissioner of Social Security. He is likely to expand this. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

Will it continue paying him money? Will it help Republicans stay in power (at least in the short term)? You’ll find your answer there.

SCOOP: New Social Security chief was being investigated for leaking data to DOGE when Musk team tapped him. Sr officials placed him on paid leave while probing whether he may have violated privacy & tax laws, WaPo's Lisa Rein reports. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

It’s not just Space X. Musk was able to save Tesla because of a loan from the Dept of Energy. Here he is in 2013 filled with gratitude for the federal agency & the taxpayers who saved his business. From reporting by @puck.news. airmail.news/issues/2025-...
