HHS's Office of Long COVID Research and Practice has been DOGEd. Closing this week.

BREAKING: Republican State Senator Justin Eichorn has been arrested for soliciting a minor for prostitution, after filming a self-righteous video accusing Democrats of dubious acts. The Minnesota GOP has asked him to step down. Life comes at you fast.

A reminder that all members of the House and Senate are now heading back home for recess until March 24th. Maybe you wanna get in on some town hall action, talk about some things? Call to find out how to do that 👉 5calls.org/issue/march-...

Elon Musk explaining cars to Trump: "It's literally like a golf cart that goes really fast."

MUSK: A sophisticated cyberattack from Ukraine took out Twitter's servers REALITY: Twitter's servers were not secured properly and were publicly visible Great explainer here from @lhn.bsky.social www.wired.com/story/x-ddos...

Is musk a scam?

Make it more.

The co-president says speaking against Putin’s interests is akin to treason. So I guess that’s where we are now.

"Twitter was definitely cyber attacked!" says guy whose rockets and cars explode on the regular

Only in America could a Ketamine-infused South African oligarch call a navy captain, astronaut and sitting US senator "a traitor" for supporting our allies and standing up to Russia...

Can’t believe Twitter keeps crashing despite Elon hiring the best 19-year-old interns that racism has to offer

Trump rolling up to his golf club on our dime

Beyond disgusting.

AOC: Here are your rights. Dpty. Dir. of FBI: Here's how to do crime.

DOGE "is headed by Elon Musk," Donald Trump says. Cc: @annabower.bsky.social Federal judges in DC, Maryland, and Virginia Yaakov Roth

If DOGE is a federal agency, it can’t shield its records from the public. If it’s not an agency, then its tens of millions of dollars in funding weren’t legally allocated and should be returned, some contend.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Every day should be like this for all of them. ALL OF THEM. ALL THE TIME. EVERYWHERE THEY GO. They shouldn't be able to go out to eat, to relax, to vacation, to shop, without someone making a noise.

Norwegian firm Haltbakk Bunkers announced it will stop providing fuel to all US forces in Norway: "No Fuel to Americans! We encourage all Norwegians and Europeans to follow our example. SLAVA UKRAINA" #3E #StandWithUkraine

Trump and Vance ran a televised scam today. What all America saw was a premeditated hoax to justify cutting off aid to Ukraine. Nothing Zelenskyy did was offensive or disrespectful—but that was the line Trump and Vance had clearly decided to use beforehand to justify what they and Putin wanted.

🚨BREAKING: A federal judge ordered Trump officials with knowledge of the workings of billionaire Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to testify under oath in a lawsuit challenging the faux agency’s access to sensitive governmental databases. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Chris was fired from his job today as Freshman Football Coach in HBUHSD after speaking out against MAGA. Going viral, it seems, does not protect against retribution in HB. HB CC: 3/4 6PM 2000 Main St HBUHSD: 3/11, 6PM 5832 Bolsa Ave @chriswarcraft.bsky.social @socalextremismwatch.com

Not at all a rogue ranger. There is a whole movement of park service employees surreptitiously keeping everyone up on what's going on behind the scenes. Alt National ParkService. "I truly believe this information should be seen by the general public." Link in comments:

Commentary: “While Trump’s government proudly touts its ‘savings,’ the reality is that DOGE’s cuts are built on lies, mismanagement, and outright cruelty.”

Another plane incident in DC: An American Airlines flight from Boston had to abort its landing at DCA airport this morning to avoid another plane that was taking off on the same runway, authorities said.

Analyzing data published on DOGE's own website, the Associated Press found that 40 percent of DOGE's "savings" have not saved the government anything. What a joke.

Florida Rep. Cory Mills, who has denied any wrongdoing, allegedly pushed and bruised a 27-year-old woman during an incident in his D.C. home.

The best way to confront a bully about the misinformation he is spreading is to confront him in front of everyone. Macron just did that.

“We are in the middle of a Ketamine fueled middle of the night autocratic power grab that is rendering congress irrelevant, rendering policy irrelevant and rendering the rule of law an afterthought.” -Rachel Maddow #maddow

Are there any good tips for overcoming GI intolerance to metformin? We used to say to try 250 mg IR with meals BD and work your way up slowly. Is that still better than starting at 500 mg SR?

🚨BREAKING: In an incredible moment in front of the world, President Macron brutally interrupted a Trump lie, fearlessly fact checking him in real time. Watch Trump's humiliated expression. This is how it's done.

Musk called DOGE “maximally transparent,” but it has refused to release info about its spending and operations — including the names of its employees. ProPublica has identified 46 of them, including 12 new names we've just added.
