This is some impressive reporting www.texasobserver.org/ice-prosecut...

Only independent entity left is the Federal Reserve - FERC, FTC, SEC and FEC now under Executive Branch control

Got a poll about issues important to NYers

St Kitts looking pretty good right now www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

“Uncertainty is like a tax, distorting decisions and making the economy as a whole less efficient.”

Trump, famous for respecting norms and making rational, fact-based decisions, would never try to change tax rules for projects already under construction @heatmap.news

Not that anyone cares but a bunch of senior doj officials resigning over a corrupt instruction to drop a case was what triggered the Nixon impeachment, and in the Trump era it's just the 2pm scandal of a random Thursday and every day now has ~3 such scandals that would have ended any prior admin

NEW: At least three more DOJ Public Integrity Unit senior officials have resigned after meeting with Emil Bove on the Eric Adams case. Five in Public Integrity overall. That’s six officials who resigned, triple the number that happened during the Saturday Night Massacre.

Everyone who pays alot of attention to politics right now is losing their mind because it’s really difficult to understand how the majority of people are just like “yep living my life, oh a program to hire more women? Idk sounds good to me, I voted Trump to lower inflation hopefully he’s doing that”

This period under Musk/Trump feels like early February in 2020—when a terrible thing was happening with breakneck speed, and the people paying close attention were hair-on-fire about it while the rest of the country carried on as normal.

I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky

It could mean that the world financial system melts down when investors realize that Elon Musk may selectively default on US debt. Just saying.

hmm every time I open my little hell box I feel … bad? interesting ok lemme open it again just to check

Love this new display format!

This is the definition of “a stretch” @nytimes.com

🚨 BREAKING: OMB has just issued a memo *rescinding* the previous memo freezing all federal financial assistance programs. Full text, per government source:

A statement from LID: We are done asking. Our leadership is not failing us—it has failed us. We can no longer offer prolonged support without immediate action to protect our community from serious harm. Our leaders need to feel our anger. 🧵

Pretty incredible - *NINETY FOUR PERCENT* reduction in speeding at speed camera locations www.nyc.gov/html/dot/htm....

A strong contender for my favorite - if most befuddling - energy podcast of 2024: the great transformer shortage. Would be interested in a 2025 status check @shaylekann.bsky.social! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

The mission of the Board of Elections is clear — conduct fair & honest elections, register all eligible New Yorkers to vote, and help people vote. In his previous roles, Frank Seddio has been unfair, dishonest, and committed to disenfranchisement. He’s unfit to lead... #StopSeddio bit.ly/stop-seddio

“Democrats struggled with turnout among almost all demographic groups, lost some vote share to persuasion among almost all demographic groups, and in particular lost tons of votes to persuasion among Hispanic and Asian voters.”
