Many people are saying that they’ve never seen federal spending as tremendously efficient and not wasteful as it is today.

In 2020, the military was adamant about refusing to get involved in the election. That's why Trump hates General Mark Milley so much. Now, Trump is transforming the military into one that will back him up in 2029. We need to figure out how to prepare for that eventuality.

Call me old fashioned, but being Russia’s KGB agent “Krasnov” since 1987 should disqualify Trump from being President of the United States. Retroactively, immediately, and forever.

Yes, it’s deeply depressing to know that They Knew but even worse that it’s literally Hiding in Plain Sight and people STILL CHOOSE not to see it.

PLEASE ADVISE ME AND COMMUNICATE MORE AGGRESSIVELY!

Musk was angry at OpenAI, so he said AI would destroy humanity. Then he founded xAI and sued OpenAI—and said AI might not be so bad. Now he wants his AI to take over DC, so he’s killing all AI safety. The man is knowingly betraying his _species_. He’ll certainly have no problem betraying America.

So Mad King Elon posted this about two hours ago and I've now seen one of the actual emails. Not going to mention the agency my source works out. But suffice it to say it's entirely shuttered. So everyone there was forced to stop working more than a week ago. The actual email is one is that in ...

The Justice Department is investigating a New York sheriff for declining to detain someone on behalf of ICE. It's not clear what the DOJ could charge him with. “There is no such crime as failing to help ICE do its job," one legal expert said. nysfocus.com/2025/02/21/t...

I have the text of the email. It says: "Please reply to this email with approx. 5 bullets of what you accomplished last week and cc your manager. Please do not send any classified information, links, or attachments. Deadline is this Monday at 11:59pmEST."

Pennsylvania — more federal workers regretting their votes this time ones that work in the limestone mine offices that preserve records Elon lied about repeatedly

Awesome. 👇🏻 Zelinskyy My favorite president 🇺🇦 youtube.com/shorts/K4JY3...

MAGA Republicans really thought town halls would show the country that Americans are behind them. No 💕 Keep these clips coming our way! Hey MAGA: 2026 is coming. 🗳️ We’re voting you TF out.

‘Donald Trump Recruited as Moscow Asset,’ Says Ex-KGB Spy Chief Former Soviet intelligence officer Alnur Mussayev reveals Moscow recruited Donald Trump in 1987. For decades, Trump has been groomed as a Russian asset, operating under the codename “Krasnov” — which means…

Yes this is true.

DOGE staffer Edward “Big Balls” Coristine is the grandson of Valery Martynov - a “former” KGB spy. That’s right, one of Elon Musk’s young cyber criminals — related to a former KGB spy, and who seemingly did not have to undergo a background check — now has unprecedented access to…

Not content with purchasing the presidency, Elon Musk now wants to buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court as well. His PAC just pumped $1M into supporting anti-choice right-wing extremist Brad Schimel. Wisconsin — don't become Musk's latest acquisition! Vote @crawfordforwi.bsky.social.

NEW: The email went out about 30 minutes ago.

Musk just sent an email to the federal work force, with a subject line "What did you do last week?" "Please reply to this email with approx. 5 bullets of what you accomplished this week and cc your manager," it said.

W.E.B. Du Bois on the white takeover of southern public schools after Reconstruction. Not a coincidence that the chapter, "Back Towards Slavery," follows his analysis of the eventual dedegration of the public school system. Attacks on education are vital to (re)instituting authoritarian rule.

Did not expect a children’s book at the library to absolutely ruin me. There’s a page about Tato coming home from the war, followed directly by one about riding the Kyiv funicular and… 😭 💙 💛

Clinical trials for the most serious diseases halted. Research grants ended. 1,500 NIH workers fired. All probationary employees fired- these were the brightest, fully trained & vetted, most talented next generation of public servants - fired. This is not ending “waste, fraud or abuse”’

Elon Musk's pinned tweet right now.

This white wash is the @nytimes.com headline today. Not concerned about Nazi Salutes at CPAC. Headline should be “ US BILLIONAIRE REGIME BLACKMAILES ALLY UKRAINE-WITH HELP FROM THUG PUTIN:

There is so much Resistance taking place that it's hard to keep track. This weekend, we will see protests at Tesla dealerships across the US (I know 3 are planned for around the DMV with @thirdactmd.bsky.social involved).

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social DO THIS!

So many Nazi salutes at CPAC this yr that it's literally just a Nazi conference

“consider this: It took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic” @govpritzker.illinois.gov quoted in yesterday’s @hcrichardson.bsky.social post: open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Something I've now heard from federal worker constituents at several agencies: Musk and Trump's mass firings are clearing out all personnel from FOIA offices and leaving them completely empty, it sounds obviously intentional.

Maine leads the way of open defiance. Thank you Janet Mills!

Seriously people. Bondi is a skilled agent of corruption. Don't let her blonde hair distract from her considerable skillset.

When educators Christopher Barker and Alyoska Diaz found the ranch home in 2020, they saw its potential, snapped it up and made it their own entrancing space.

“This is America and we don’t have kings” is an easy message and we should all be saying it, but it’s also easy to add on “especially not kings who hand our entire treasury over to drug addled rich Nazi fucks.”

Republican events for a month now (including Inauguration Day!) have featured a prominent Nazi salute & legacy media outlets ignore it. Seems like a trend worth covering, no? Maybe access to the Nazi party shouldn't be prioritized??

Since Inauguration Day, of all the G7 stock market ETF’s, the US $SPY is the worst performer. The best? China $MCHI +19.7%. (via Bespoke)

loyalty oaths are likely for remaining fedl workers as well

Gee, why isn't DOGE flagging this as wasteful spending? www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

DOGE waste fraud

A lot of republican events are straight up dangerous for formal acts of protest, but going NIMBY-mode on townhalls seems like a perfect way to distort the calculus of GOP electeds

A new form of academic fraud appears to involve (at least in some cases) passing off registered designs as "patents." Science covers this new research by me, @reeserichardson.bsky.social, @nhwise.bsky.social, Spencer Hong & Michael Draper:
