Starting to think the right’s mEmE KiNg WhO LeGaLiZeD CoMedY is actually just a whiny little bitch with a fragile ego.

Americans proposed that Ukraine concede half of the profits from its mineral rights in perpetuity... in exchange for essentially nothing. This is not a monetary proposition, let alone a "deal," but rather the demand that Ukraine become a permanent American colony. snyder.substack.com/p/recoup-the...

“After we’ve discriminated against, deported, or disparaged all the immigrants, the gay and lesbian and transgender people, the developmentally disabled, the women, and minorities. Once we’ve ostracized our neighbors and betrayed our friends… what comes next?” - Gov. JB Pritzker

Trump likes being #2, he likes doing the PR work, being in front of the camera, getting the adulation, but serving the boss. Musk will dominate him at home and Putin will dominate him abroad. He will deliver their lines, as he has just done for Putin in shocking fashion, and does for Musk every day.

There’s “waste and fraud,” and then there’s “this doesn’t align with my autocrat agenda.” Some of you would be wise to start learning the difference.

"Law and order" in the Trump era: if you bow down to the head of the U.S. government, he may help you - whether you're awaiting trial for sex crimes in Europe or doing time in the USA for physically assaulting police.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to allow it to fire the head of the Office of Special Counsel, which oversees government whistleblower protections and enforces certain ethics laws.

On Feb 15, a critical line of defense was eliminated: the CDC's Laboratory Leadership Service (LLS). This program trained highly skilled scientists to be "disease detectives," deploying them to respond to public health threats & test for everything from viruses to toxins. www.cdc.gov/lls/php/our-...

Shared on my fb- wonder if my closet felon supporters will read and comprehend prob most have unfollowed me n the off chance I post something Against dear leader

When the hospital is full of loose drunk deranged horses… and the horse handlers have all been fired. What else can we expect

I want to only rage and resist, but also this

Our team reviewed the entire DOGE website. Nothing they have identified constitutes evidence of fraud or corruption—both of which are crimes. Feel free to audit us. The funds were allotted by Congress, and OIGs regularly reviewed expenditures for fraud.

I have 503 left gloves Right glove fairy of mischief reveal thyself.

Warren on Elon Musk destroying the CFPB: "It is a little like a bank robber saying, 'I know what let's do. Let's fire the cops, turn off the alarms,' just as the robber decides to stroll into the lobby of the bank."

Project 2025 was unpopular because of things like the plan for Trump to shut down the CFPB, which helps you get your money back if a bank cheats you.

Just called the Whyte House, and the poor operator… I asked for President musk, “who?” President Elon musk. “Oh you’d have to reach out to one of his websites…” ok so I say, he doesn’t work for the government? “No” interesting, says I. He must be new operator.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau literally exists to protect consumers from predatory financial institutions. It's returned over $21 billion to 205 million consumers. The sole result of Elon’s effort to eliminate it is that Americans will have no recourse when they’re screwed over by a bank.

Oregon Health & Science University stands to lose tens of millions in federal funding under the Trump administration’s directive to cap National Institutes of Health payments to research institutions to help cover overhead costs.

Fed Friends: The Government Retirement and Benefits system will be undergoing "maintenance" this weekend. We recommend you download your personal and general benefits information. New users can create an account by entering "3123", the CDC GRB license number. *Only current employees have access*

All of it an insane. I bet most of them don’t know and if they did they’d still get on their knees for him - yes dear leader!

Snow road running is the mostest bestest. Sprinkle in some walking for all the thinking and you have balance :)

Really comprehensive and brutal description of what’s going on at US science agencies by @dereklowe.bsky.social. Read to the end: because this doesn’t need to continue, the rest is not inevitable. We can fight back.

Losing NOAA would be devastating. Project 2025 authors want to get rid of it because it monitors climate change, and privatize the information it currently provides for free, so you'll have to buy information about the weather and the winds (imperative for mariners).

Decided during these “wonderful” times I should probably go ahead and make myself physically strong again and healthy to handle the future. Last time I sorta did the opposite. Understandable but not wise or useful to anyone. So… Off to run in the beautiful new snow!

Think firing the entire federal workforce will save America money? Federal civilian employees account for just 4% of the federal budget. Even if someone like Musk—or any president—fired all of us, it wouldn’t make much of a dent in government spending. Don’t fall for it.

Of course it’s a coup. Miss the obvious, lose your republic. open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

Repost, with alt-text. This is a FUCK of a lot of water to waste. This is not being done to “make the water flow” it’s being done to ruin the economy of California’s agricultural sector (and therefore the economy of the country.)

Many people don't seem to understand that most research labs operate on soft money from grants. So, "pausing grants" means labs must be shuttered because nobody will get paid. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
