Completely nuts.

who named them cup sizes and not lump sums

Nice to see a group of folks refusing to be gaslit by an elected official. Just need more of that.

“That is why Trumpists are so focused on “ending DEI” in the federal workforce. They see anti-discrimination and inclusion as a ladder of upward mobility for people they do not believe should have one.”

We have to find a better word than cruel for this. It’s the kind of intentional harm meant to result in deaths and the DOJ isn’t making much of a secret of their intent here.

major props to the associated press for not capitulating to trump. they're setting the standard for what news should be - independent, committed to the truth, and ready to stand against authoritarian governments.

The firings from the CDC and FDA are devastating. Just looking at how they gutted the medical device review part of the FDA. We already have an issue with medical devices not being appropriately scrutinized. Will we be able to trust any new devices going forward?

Remember this press conference Trump did promising to bring prices down? www.c-span.org/program/camp...

How it started. How it’s going

REPORTER: Voters say they are angry and frustrated by these firings. They don't like the work of Elon Musk. What do you say to them? TRUMP: Who do you work for? REPORTER: ABC News TRUMP: No wonder. I have the highest poll numbers I've ever had

He’s so stupid.

Here in Illinois, ten years ago we saw the consequences of a rampant ideological gutting of government. It genuinely harmed people. Our citizens hated it. Trust me – I was elected based in part on just how much they hated it.

I have it as a contractual point that my narration has to be done by humans.

Secretary of Defense Hegseth could soon move to fire more than half a dozen generals and flag officers, part of an effort to purge the department of senior leaders perceived as either too political or too close to former Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin. www.cnn.com/2025/02/20/p...

They only care when it happens to them or someone they know. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Siblings...😅💞

As always, @chriswarcraft.bsky.social is a real one.

How we did it: Texas Won’t Study How Its Abortion Ban Impacts Women, So We Did

the “make america healthy again” agenda appears to be an elaborate op conjured up by sentient strains of listeria and salmonella www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

Apple CEO Tim Cook has met with President Donald Trump on Thursday morning, likely to discuss the import tariff situation and US manufacturing.

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors. I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.

Simple stuff

Baldwin: "Last night, the president said 'I'm not touching Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, VA, I'm not touching them.' By this morning, he endorsed the House budget resolution which paves the way for massive cuts to Medicaid."

What?!

Imagine what a commuter paradise Manhattan would be if millions gave up public transit for cars!

Former NFL player Chris Kluwe arrested during Huntington Beach City Council meeting www.latimes.com/socal/daily-...

Trump is letting Elon Musk into Fort Knox to "check on" our gold. It's a heist, folks.

Ex-NFL punter Chris Kluwe called MAGA a “Nazi movement” at a city council meeting—and got arrested for it. He listed what MAGA stands for: book bans, attacks on trans rights, defunding education, and anti-democracy extremism. “You may have replaced a swastika with a red hat, but that is what it is.”

I Photoshop Paddington into a movie, TV show, or pop culture until I forget: Day 1443

If you read this letter, you'd think that Kathy Hochul if he removed Eric Adams would lead to a white guy replacing him. This is the guy who'd be replacing Eric. A Black Man. What even is this?

0% surprised. Used to be their neighbor and work with their community grants team and can say CZI has always been performative and full of shit. Mark only wants to fund Mark. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

The most shocking thing about this is that anyone took him at his word.

"In less than a month’s time, Rubio has presided over America’s willing abdication as leader of the free world. It’s a shameful legacy that cuts against everything he once proclaimed to stand for."

Trumpists will continue to be furious at any dissent no matter how much power they steal. That’s because the administration is premised on pathological insecurity. They’re shitty people, they know it, and they will never stop resenting being seen as shitty people.

When my daughter made a gingerbread house for the holidays, I licked the frosting and told her how good it was because emotional connection optimizes mental health. But I secretly spit it out since frosting’s nutrient profile is suboptimal . Samantha lives with her mom now.

How completely jealous am I of Brazil right now

Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency finally released a “wall of receipts” as part of its “maximum transparency” promise Monday, but some of their figures are not quite adding up.

He’s not making up: news.bloomberglaw.com/banking-law/... Is this really what y’all voted for? 🫤 💰

#ICYMI: We've added eight previously missing disclosures from Justice Clarence Thomas to our Supreme Connections database. The newly added filings, which cover 1992 to 1999, reveal more than 100 gifts or travel-related reimbursements.
