Tom Homan confirms on Fox News that he's asked the DOJ to investigate AOC

Sorry, I forgot. What is it that makes us the most free country in the world again? www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

if only there was a snappier, instantly understandable, accurate way to rewrite the convoluted phrase "a provocative gesture that resembled the controversial salute elon musk gave"

Had to check to make sure it was real because uhhhhh this is not like the NY Post.

Eliane Brum is Prospect’s Top Thinker for 2025. With climate change, “we are in an extreme, serious situation,” she tells @ellenhalliday.bsky.social. “We are very threatened. And we should be fighting for life.” www.prospectmagazine...

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com: "Inspectors general are a headache for everyone. You know why? Because they're investigating every agency and they find stuff! Including waste and fraud and abuse! They wouldn't be firing them if they cared about waste, fraud, and abuse."

This is how many hours per week a person needs to work in order to escape poverty. The US is dead last. #Poverty #USA

I’ve been reading On Tyranny.

DOGE By The Numbers theonion.com/doge-by...

We know. The trainees know. We can read. The silence from our PIs, from our programs, from our institutions... It does not help. We feel insane, like we are freaking out for no reason. The core idea of science is confronting reality, facing the truth of the data. Please say it out loud. 🧪

🚨 The Senate is expected to vote on the confirmation of Kash Patel for FBI Director TODAY. Call your Senators to block this vengeful attack dog who will undoubtedly weaponize the FBI against anyone Trump dislikes. 🔥📞🔥 5calls.org/issue/kash-p...

Just posting this because 1) it's true, and 2) it will piss off assholes. www.huffpost.com/entry/sorry-...

Anyone else frustrated by watching us turn into Russia. Elon is apparently in charge, and the felon in chief is fine with anything as long as his ego is stroked.

🧪 A pretty damning article about firings at the NSF and the level of professionalism from management. www.wired.com/story/nation...

Washington Post refuses to run $115,000 ad titled ‘Fire Elon Musk,’ report says www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

I had to delete my last post because I included a link to a story that sent a preview image of that fuckhead and I couldn't stand to look at it. But I am so angry that someone who gets $8 million in our tax money DAILY is telling us it is wasteful to fund SSI, Medicare or Medicaid.

Since 1972, the independent federal agency that investigates and prevents waste, fraud, and abuse in the US government has been the Office of the Inspector General. So tell me what the point of DoGE is again??? www.govexec.com/transition/2...

If an appointment requires me to arrive 30 minutes early, can we just say my appointment is, say, at 2 instead of 2:30?

Effective communication is one of the most critical components of modern society. Messages have to be succinct, engaging and clear about why the receiver should care. See 🧵 below. #academicsky

Birthright citizenship remains the law of the land. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Kamala Harris was not planning an ethnic cleansing to pave the way for golf course courses… Both sides were never the same.

Something the "so you think the law means anything now" doomers fail to grasp: the importance of buying time. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, has infinite resources and infinite capacity for managing complexity. Make your opponent work. Make their every decision complex and their every move costly.

We could’ve had Tim 😭

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

I heard someone say it’s unlikely any of these new policies will affect everyday Americans. Would we even know about it if it weren’t in the news? www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

“…Sheinbaum wrote on X. “If there is anywhere that such an [organized crime] alliance in fact exists, it is in the United States gun factories that sell high-powered weapons to these criminal groups.” #mexico #cdnpoli #uspoli #tariffs #tradewar

We helped do this. So many people called our Mo. legislators and stood up in JC for up for immigrants in our communities. The “legal” immigration process is impossible, and we are turning our backs on people who just want what our ancestors wanted generations ago. #immigrationRights #Resist

Waiting for the chaos since Nov. 5, I kept hoping it wouldn’t be as bad as I thought it would be. It’s actually much, much worse. But the people who told me before not to worry, now tell me I’m overreacting. Maybe it’s about what you choose to see.
