Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

He nails it.

One odd thing I saw while reporting this measles outbreak: A CDC template advising principals to keep unvaccinated kids home for 21 days if they're exposed appears to be missing. Details in my latest story @kffhealthnews.org / @sfchronicle.com www.sfchronicle.com/health/artic...

The US has not shared flu data with the WHO since January, sparking concerns ahead of key vaccine strain selection. Experts warn this could impact global flu vaccine effectiveness for the Northern Hemisphere. 🦠 🛟

Deeply concerned about NSF. They fired more people than they needed and now leadership is illegally reclassifying employees as probationary. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

In an America without medicaid, sick and disabled children plead in one voice with their loved ones- Don't rip away our care and hope! America, please join their voices by contacting your Reps- Tell them- Slashing funds kills futures. Save Medicaid Now! #MOMsky

I’m going to ask people older than I am if they have ever seen corruption in this scale. Have you?

Yeap

A lesson in how claims of meritocracy as justification for opposing DEI are often cover for the demand that we return to a system of preference for white men - whatever their qualifications. Fire a qualified Black man. Hire a statutorily unqualified white man. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Analysis: Red states like Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana could be hurt the most by Trump's spending cuts

Trump pollster’s finds that 59% of voters in 18 swing districts are “worried about their personal financial situation,” and that Democrats are leading in the House generic ballot matchup by five points. @gregsargent.bsky.social: vulnerable GOPers will pay a price for walking lockstep with Trump.

Tune in to hear me talk about a massive (and weird!) protein that gives you really bad cancer.

All politics is economics. If the Supreme Court Citizens United decision grants more political power to those with more money, then to defeat them, it is essential that we target the sources of their wealth. Yes, that means you should sell your Tesla and get off X. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

What @djrothkopf.bsky.social said. ⬇️

The University of Pittsburgh confirmed Friday that there would be no new Ph.D. offers of admission while Pitt works to understand how reduced federal aid could impact the institution.

Casually bringing this back… #OCanada 🍁

Missouri lawmaker proposes registry of pregnant women ‘at risk’ for abortions. Dubbed ‘eHarmony for babies’, bill would create connected databases for pregnant women and those looking to adopt. #MOMSky www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Maybe the bird flu can battle the new bat-vid ha ha just kidding they’re gonna team up

A new bat coronavirus that has the capacity to spread to humans, similar to the one that caused the COVID-19 pandemic, has been discovered by a Chinese researcher. Good thing we are completely prepared this time. www.newsweek.com/new-coronavi...

No kings in the United States. The Democratic Party needs to take after Gov Mills and stand up to this tyrannical bully!

THIS IS A LOT OF NAZI SALUTES. About as subtle as a flying mallet

Don’t be a nice person…

🚨WATCH🚨 ON THE LINE with VoteVets, hosted by @fpwellman.bsky.social, digs into Trump’s reckless and feckless military purge.

Waste. Fraud. Abuse. Supposedly we’re cutting government spending—while spending obscene sums on vanity projects.

Senator Bernie Sanders lays out exactly what's at stake if Republicans gut Medicaid. #Don'tCutMyMedicaid

The Rs have wanted to privatize USPS for decades for greed. 🍊 wants to take it over to control who gets their mail and who doesn’t, what mail in ballots go through in time and which ones don’t. And ultimately to be able to monitor our mail.

Wonder who they voted for? Dozens of Minnesota federal workers fired in latest cuts, with no severance www.startribune.com/minnesota-fe...

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

We can’t let them exhaust us with their endless illegal power grabs. @johnfugelsang.bsky.social and I break down the effort to end democracy and offer some needed hope at the same time in episode 2 of #theoathandtheoffice podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

For anyone claiming to have removed DEI language or programs for legal reasons, including Georgia Tech, the legal ruling is that they must be restored. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

As much as I lately tend to share bad news on here, it’s not all bad news. contrarian.substack.com/p/showing-up...

🦠🚨 mask up

Judge extends block on DOGE’s access to federal payment systems The ruling found that DOGE access to the payment systems created a “realistic danger that confidential financial information will be disclosed.” www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

The smartest thing Joe Biden ever did was prioritize seating federal judges. They are the bulwark against the wanna-be king.

Malicious incompetence in the destruction of our foreign aid system. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Call it the Musk-Trump Veteran Firing Program. Nearly a third of the federal workers are veterans, and the figure is much higher at DoD. Musk and Trump are going to fire tens of thousands of American veterans, on top of the thousands they already fired. “Thank you for your service, you’re fired.”

I repeat, if you or a loved one was recently fired from the federal government during your probationary period, and the reason you were given was poor performance, please reach out to us at www.centerforemploymentjustice.com. We have a plan and may be able to help you.
