A federal judge has ordered the Trump White House to let Associated Press journalists return to the Oval Office and other spaces to cover news events, ruling it was unlawful to block the news service in a dispute over its choice of words.

One of the best and easiest upgrades I've ever done, now years later.

Clickbait (almost had me cheering) #NHL www.msn.com/en-ca/sports...

When China is posting Ronald Reagan on main while the Republican Party abandons all his principles, you know you fucked up.

Trump: "We need open borders."

Prominent anti-vaccine activists lined up on social media to denounce the move. By @gbrumfiel.bsky.social

“I can never give allegiance to anyone else other than to follow the science as we see it."

OTTAWA – Liberal Leader Mark Carney and the NDP’s Jagmeet Singh expressed support Friday for federal spending to ensure a strong national public broadcaster, a notion Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre dismissed as something Canada simply can’t afford.

Breaking news: The IRS plans to eliminate nearly a quarter of its workforce in layoffs starting Friday, according to records obtained by The Post and people familiar with the plans, shedding roughly 20,000 jobs as part of plans from President Trump and Elon Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service.

1) Fox News is for real not showing stock-market ticker during this week's collapse. 2) Its economic news is "strong jobs report." 3) Every time I've checked in today, the coverage has been "illegal immigrants committing new crimes." This is state propaganda, on a par with North Korea or PRC.

The arrival of DOGE staff at a federal agency is often followed by layoffs.

The “raining money” animation here is delightful. #TodayInPyongyang 🇺🇸

Really looking forward to not hearing about the Ovechkin race EVERY DARN DAY anymore. (and Gretzky's 46 pro WHA goals should count)

NEW: CTV cancelled a fact-checking segment in response to political pressure from Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives An audio recording obtained by PressProgress shows CTV cancelled an ‘election misinformation’ segment with journalist Rachel Gilmore after online backlash from conservatives

Free speech warrior to make it illegal to make fun of his shitty cars.

NASA has removed a pledge to land the first woman and first person of color on the moon from its website in an effort to meet Trump's demands.

It's 2025 and they are still getting the weather wrong.

You can’t overstate the historic importance of today’s speech to both American and Canadian citizens by Canada’s Prime Minister. Please watch it and share it wherever you live, but especially if you’re in the United States. You need to know what Trump is doing, and why. youtu.be/wz_42pckM7w

BREAKING: Head of FBI's New York office is forced out after questioning President Trump's pursuit of agents who investigated Jan. 6 cases, sources say.

It's a criminal act, or should be. Musk and his little groypers should all be in jail right now.

There is something so blatant about all of this, and the fact that 50% of the population is ok with it is so alarming.

Here are 45 people within the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, a group formed by Elon Musk that has radically upended federal agencies. nyti.ms/4br8OIv

NEW: Info gathered from Musk's 5 accomplishments email is expected to be run through an AI system to determine whether or not someone's work is mission-critical, according to three sources with knowledge of the system www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

NEW: Some senior CISA officials were informed late last week that DOGE had been granted access to agency staffers' emails and Microsoft Teams chats. The agency at large has not been informed.

President Trump posted on Saturday that a president "who saves his Country does not violate any Law,” as he tests legal and constitutional boundaries in the process of upending the federal government. It's not the first time he has suggested he has divine backing to enforce his will.

new from me: Elon Musk's X appears to be blocking links to directly contact users on Signal Signal, the encrypted messaging app, has recently become a major tool for government workers looking to blow the whistle on DOGE

President Donald Trump wants the Supreme Court to allow him to remove the head of the Office of Special Counsel, which investigates whistleblower reports.

Fact Checker: The Trump administration is sweeping through the U.S. government. At the same time, the White House has adopted a unique lexicon to describe its agenda — in some cases, using words that in ordinary contexts mean the opposite. Here’s a guide to the verbiage.

So many irrational, harmful, & anti-science moves... "The country is less safe. These are the deployable assets critical for investigating new threats, from anthrax to Zika..." CDC's "disease detectives" halved as part of DOGE cuts at health agencies www.cbsnews.com/news/cdc-dis...

This is a screenshot of the CDC’s Mpox page. The government of the United States is now producing anti-science propaganda and putting it up on official webpages. This is scary as hell, friends. www.cdc.gov/mpox/hcp/vac...

Thanks, Elon. My salary is public, as is my financial report. But since you ask, when will you be releasing yours?

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

See here's how to do a headline. fortune.com/2025/02/13/e...

Tesla, whose chief executive, Elon Musk, has been advising President Trump on how to cut government spending, is likely to receive a lucrative contract to supply armored versions of its Cybertruck pickup to the State Department, according to public documents.

This is basically my entire book in chart form

A pillar of President Trump’s policies has been tariffs, which are taxes on products imported from other countries. But what can often be lost amid proclamations is who ultimately pays for tariffs. (Hint: It’s most often not other countries.)

More than 150 bombs from World War II have been found under a children’s playground in northern England, with concerns that more may remain, officials said.

During President Donald Trump’s first term, the Education Department held DEI training. Now, in the opening days of Trump’s second term, dozens of employees who attended that diversity program have been placed on leave because of it.

This is a coup. www.npr.org/2025/02/08/n...

The Trump administration has warned more than 1,100 EPA employees who work on climate change, reducing air pollution, enforcing environmental laws and other programs that they could be fired at any time.

President Trump has promised a “colorblind and merit-based” society, while also aligning himself with those who are brandishing the term DEI as a catchall for discrimination against white people, and using it as a pejorative to attack nonwhite and female leaders as unqualified for their positions.

Elon Musk is serving as a ‘special government employee,’ the White House says

Musk, the world's richest man, has been granted broad latitude by President Trump to reduce the size of the federal government.
