After firing federal workers at the CDC, some 180 of them have received emails begging them to come back to work. "Read this e-mail immediately" was the subject line according to the AP. So much government efficiency going on. What a joke.

True dat. #TeslaTakedown

Traitorous scumbags — every last one of them.

NEW: Nearly 70% of Americans aren’t buying Trump’s bullshit on tariffs—an overwhelming majority believe they’ll drive prices up, not down.

New: DC fed judge temporarily blocked the Trump admin from carrying out a mass suspension/stop work of foreign assistance $, finding challengers likely to succeed and showed irreparable harm now. Order allows admin to still enforce specific contract/grant terms https://buff.ly/4gBvffa

Like some of us have been saying for years, Trump and MAGA don't care. It's all about power. Now they have it so they'll flex it and say, "I dare you to stop me." They also have a corrupt Supreme Court majority in their back pocket. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Still sorta wild to me that the John Thunes etc of the Senate and House are cool with this, happy to rise to enormous power only to be shunted into "advisory body" status by a carnival barker and an unelected bigot, content to have "passively ushered in a fascist autocracy" as their legacy

Elon Musk on spreading the lie that condoms were sent to Hamas in Gaza: "Nobody is going to bat 1000." Perhaps keep your mouth closed until you know what you're talking about instead of humiliating this country on the global stage by having Trump and MAGA parrot your lies.

this is actually a pretty good illustration of the current power situation. it doesn't take any responsibility from Trump to recognize that Musk is 100% driving this train and the White House has approved after the the fact the stuff hes done. Critically Trump's age is coming heavily into play here.

To put it bluntly, no foreign power has ever posed such a massive and immediate threat to the United States as the anti-qualified Musk/Trump couple and their stupidly cruel administration horde.

This is what happens when we elect people who admire how dictators run things.

UPDATE: OpenAI CEO Sam Altman rejects Elon Musk-led bid

BRET BAIER: Do you view Vice President JD Vance as your successor? The Republican nominee in 2028? PRESIDENT TRUMP:

Excuse me while I vent for a moment SHE IS THE APPROPRIATIONS CHAIR. SHE CAN SUBPOENA OFFICIALS, HOLD TELEVISED HEARINGS, HOLD UP ANYONE’S FUNDING, ZERO OUT THE WHITE HOUSE’S FUCKING ICE CREAM AND DIET COKE BUDGET, AND ENFORCE THE APPROPRIATIONS LAWS THAT ARE THE SOURCE OF HER PERSONAL POWER.

You wouldn't dismantle the agency that protects consumers for corporate abuse and scams unless you wanted your rich buddies to be able to abuse and scam consumers.

New Mexico judge says no to Gitmo

Pete Hegseth said the single dumbest phrase in military history is “diversity is our strength.” I bet you they appreciate diversity when they are in Iraq and one of their soldiers speaks Arabic. This is so dumb. Diversity is not a bad word.

Hakeem Jeffries’ response to Mike Johnson’s saying House Democrats won’t work with them to get a budget deal done: “Projection.” He repeats that Republicans have claimed a mandate to do what they want, so encourages them to do so, if they can.

The judge is not wasting time on this motion for a temporary restraining order. He just scheduled a status conference for tomorrow morning at 11 AM.

Americans are confused, scared and angered by President Trump’s escalating attacks on our independent, professional and dedicated civil service. That's why I convened top federal workforce experts for this emergency webinar sharing crucial information.

No Chuck, I'm worried about the fact that a deranged, unelected, drugged-up fascist billionaire has taken control of the federal government's payment systems and sensitive data and you're here talking about tomato prices.

We are going to dig into what the heck is happening right now with Trump and Musks FBI purge, takeover of government payment system, tariffs and more…on @insidewithpsaki.msnbc.com at 12pm ET

@charlieangus104.bsky.social , Canadian patriot, nails it again! 🇨🇦✊🏼

Incredibly moving Justin Trudeau remarks: "We have fought and died alongside you....During your darkest hours...we were always there. Standing with you, grieving with you, the American people....Canadians are a little perplexed as to why our closest friends and neighbors are choosing to target us."

“'They seem to want Treasury to be the chokepoint on payments, and that’s unprecedented,' the person added, emphasizing that it is not the bureau’s role to decide which payments to make — it is 'just to make the f-ing payments.'"

BREAKING: Federal prosecutors based in Nashville have withdrawn from the criminal investigation of Tennessee Congressman Andy Ogles, an unprecedented move that could signal plans by the Trump administration to drop the case against a Republican ally. www.newschannel5.com/news/newscha...

The CDC is removing data sets that researchers widely rely upon because they include information on sexual orientation and gender identity. “It feels like they’re trying to will us out of existence,” one researcher tells @theresagaff.bsky.social: www.statnews.com/2025/01/31/c...

On one hand trump says Trans women are at an advantage so we should be kicked out of sports... ...& on the other hand he says we are at a disadvantage and we are unfit to serve in the military. Tell us you know nothing about Trans people without telling us you know nothing about Trans people.

Democratic Rep. Lori Trahan on Donald Trump's horrible comments about the plane-helicopter crash in D.C.: "It was just deeply unserious after a tragedy that took the lives of so many people." Nailed it!

Trump's Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy voted against FAA funding in 2019 during his time in Congress. His vote to defund the air safety agency raises questions about his current role overseeing transportation safety.

It is a crime to lie to Congress if you are not already a member of Congress

Donald Trump just signed a thing saying to stop doing the thing that no one is doing, so that totally makes sure there won't be any more plane crashes. Who knew governing was that easy?

Trump's baseless claims about the tragic plane collision in Washington, DC are not surprising—they are a pattern. In the past, he also boosted false and disproven claims in the aftermath of terrorist attacks, a national pandemic, police brutality, and natural disasters. Here is the timeline:

Criminal records of J6 Rioters who were pardoned by Trump includes rape, domestic violence, drug trafficking, and manslaughter. Cool, cool. Maybe would have been smart to research a few of those before pardoning everyone, huh? www.npr.org/2025/01/30/n...

1. BREAKING The nomination of North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum to serve as Secretary of the Interior has been confirmed in a 79-18 vote. Burgum, who will be eighth in line to the presidency, will oversee around one-fifth of the United States’ landmass (500 million acres).

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a declassified World War II-era CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace has become one of the most popular free ebooks on the internet: www.404media.co/declassified...

Trump's funding fiasco is a sign of what's to come under his second regime. But we can't tune out. That's exactly what the oligarchs want.
