AOC: What they like to call as radical, I believe is common sense. I believe that when a person gets sick, they shouldn’t go bankrupt in the wealthiest country in the history of the world. Common sense I believe that a minimum wage should cover the minimum cost to live. Common sense...

Harriet Hageman got booed to oblivion last night in her own town hall for pumping up Doge so hard that even her loyal suckers woke up and smelled the bullshit—about five months too late!

Read this whole thread. It's possibly the worst thing to happen yet. A judge acted horrified by DOGE's behavior at USIP, then promptly sided with them by denying USIP's temporary restraining order. She was clearly intimidated. This is ugly, ugly, ugly.

I get that everyone is riled up, and that's a good thing, but maybe instead of saying, 'More people should be doing this' and 'You should be doing that,' try saying, 'I am doing [this specific action], and please join me!' Be active!

When oligarchs talk of “personal liberties and free markets” they mean their own liberties to become even richer and more powerful. When oligarchs speak of “freedom,” what they actually seek is freedom from accountability. Know the truth.

The secretary of transportation went on Fox & Friends this morning and trashed air travel, portraying the current air traffic control system as a disaster, and then claimed taking public transit is "dangerous." I miss the DEI days when it was safe to travel.

You wouldn't know from reading this New York Times story about Trump punishing the University of Pennsylvania for trans athletes that there are no trans athletes on women's teams at the University of Pennsylvania because the New York Times didn't find that detail worth including

After careful consideration, we have determined that that the black keys on a piano are DEI. Manufacturers must immediately recall existing pianos and replace the black keys with more white ones, and are prohibited from using black keys in new instruments.

DOGE has spent the last six weeks on a supposed crusade to audit the government and stop fraud, waste, and abuse. But two federal auditors with years of experience say that DOGE’s actions are the furthest thing from what an actual audit looks like.

So WIRED talked to actual federal auditors about how government auditing works—and how DOGE is doing the opposite. “In no uncertain terms is this an audit,” claims the second auditor. “It’s a heist, stealing a vast amount of government data."

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will stop paywalling articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

I'm just full of the deepest horror and anger. More horrific slaughter and unfathomable suffering for innocent Palestinian families. A death warrant for the remaining hostages. All so that Netanyahu and his corrupt authoritarian alliance can remain in power.
