“No one’s ever seen anything like it”

🚨 Mass VA layoffs with zero transparency. 1,000 VA workers just got fired—no warning, no answers. Trump & Musk’s purge is already hurting Veterans, and they don’t care. Democrats are demanding answers. This is a betrayal. MORE: www.militarytimes.com/news/pentago...

Meanwhile, “Russia believes it is in conflict with what it calls ‘the collective West,’ and is acting accordingly, up to and including threatening us with nuclear attack and building up its military” from @wsj.com www.wsj.com/world/europe...

Hey all subscribers to paywall sites, include @springwatch2000.bsky.social when posting. This may have been ye olde SpringWatch2020 on Twitler, but I can’t confirm. Anyway, this can be our repository and hub for gift articles

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Advanced polls are open all weekend.. please get out and VOTE ! Shortage of housing in Ontario.. FORD wasting tax payer dollars on useless tunnels and a Spa in place of Ontario place. Wasteful spending and his pro-tRump CON agenda.. it's time to be rid of Musk's STARLINK and protect our data. ❤️🇨🇦

Taiwan holds its breath as Trump turns on Ukraine and upends US foreign policy

@stephaniekelton.bsky.social Any plans to update your book? A 2.0 version? If our national budget is a “moral document and an expression of our national priorities,” the majority party is amoral the priority is avarice.

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

Absurd that all GOP senators but 2 voted to make a grifter/QAnonish conspiracy-theory-monger who was paid $25,000 by a Kremlin-funded propaganda operative to head the FBI. He also has helped Putin by repeatedly claiming Russia did not attack the 2016 election. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Antivaxers, cranks and fantasists thrive in safe, stable societies but the days of consequence-free idiocy may be ending @karaswisher.bsky.social @profgalloway.com @radiofreetom.bsky.social @malonespeaking.bsky.social www.thetimes.com/comment/colu...

Things Donald Trump says that aren't true should be called out

So the lesson is that we really do need all if not more underpaid civil servants to keep planes from crashing, your food safe, clean water, clean air, safe meds, nuclear material, Medicare, Medicaid, IRS, National Parks, et al, and most importantly, the Intelligence Community.

Over the weekend, Musk forced out the acting Social Security commissioner who tried to stand in the way of the DOGE fucks and protect our data. This is a hostile takeover of our Social Security system. Any plan? Any at all? @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov @moveon.org

@outofstepinmaine.bsky.social @ctygrlphotography.bsky.social Picked up another 1/2” (not in any forecast) this AM in SW OH. Light and fluffy, leafblower for the win!

On this Day of Remembrance, we honor the 120,000 Japanese Americans unjustly imprisoned during WWII because of their heritage. Their resilience remind us to never forget the lessons of history. We will continue to fight for justice, equality, and civil rights for all.

Trump suggested Ukraine must hold elections and falsely stated that Zelensky’s approval ratings sit at just 4 percent. A survey published on Wednesday said some 57 percent of Ukrainians trust Zelensky, an increase of 5 points from a survey in December. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

📌On August 18, 2020, the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee concluded that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help Trump get elected. The committee chair? Marco Rubio. The very Rubio who was surrendering to Putin today. Just what in the hell is going on here????
