The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

So disappointed in Mitch McConnell for betraying Donald Trump today by voting against RFK Jr. instead of VOTING TO CONVICT HIM OF INCITING THE JANUARY 6TH INSURRECTION.

BREAKING: RFK Jr, the most unfit and unqualified candidate for HHS Secretary, has just been confirmed by the Senate. With a drunken abuser heading the Pentagon, and a convicted felon in the White House, America clearly isn't hiring its best.

Musk’s Reign Would Have, Ended Yesterday In A Normal America: Many years ago Donald Trump was quoted as being surprised at the gullibility of the American public. “They just believe you,” he said. Yes, they do. Long ago the newspaper and then later broadcast channels, when they rose to prominence,…

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse. Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job

Thanks to Elon Musk, college-aged kids-one of whom touted he was “racist before it was cool” – have access to your personal data. Read it again. Musk’s DOGE team got access to Americans’ SSNs, bank info, & more. There’s a lot to unpack. Join me @10aET on #Velshi w/ WIRED’s @zoeschiffer.bsky.social

If hosting the #VelshiBannedBookClub taught me anything, it’s that the fight against censorship needs all hands on deck. Take it from the band of teens/authors/a library/publishers challenging a de facto blanket book ban in Idaho. Jerrick Edwardsen, student plaintiff, joins me at 11aET on #Velshi

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the terrorist in the New Orleans attack was an American citizen born in Texas, NOT an undocumented immigrant, and he was even a Veteran of the U.S. Army. It's only the FIRST day of the New Year, and trump is already saying dumb shit.
