Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

huh, i wonder what this is about www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

SCOOP: The US Treasury claimed a DOGE's Marco Elez didn’t have ‘write access,’ when he actually did. Sources tell WIRED that his ability to alter code controlling trillions in federal spending was rescinded, days after officials said it didn't exist.

A teen DOGE staffer recently given access to government systems worked at a startup known for hiring convicted hackers. Someone using a Telegram handle associated with him also solicited a cyberattack-for-hire service in 2022. All raising questions about his vetting. www.wired.com/story/edward...

He is going to say "pinky swear you will protect our border. And buy more booze and stuff from us. " They will say yes. Won't actually buy the stuff. And he will declare victory Trumpenomics

Some thoughts on marketing.

i think an important thing for people outside the US to understand is that elon musk seized control of the government today and most americans don’t even realize it happened.

So if I’m understanding today correctly, the world’s richest person Elon Musk, whom no one elected, is taking over federal payment systems and employee data while the federal employees who investigate and prosecute public corruption are being fired en masse.

Trump said 67 people died in a plane crash because not enough white people work at the FAA. Remember, this is the guy corporate America lined up behind.

The head of the FAA, Mike Whitaker, resigned on January 20 — one year into his 5 year term — after facing relentless criticism from Musk for not approving SpaceX missions quickly enough. The Senate confirmed him unanimously in 2023. No acting FAA head has been appointed.

One week in…

I think this is where the abbreviation VIP reaches its maximum grossness. According to US officials speaking to the newspaper, three American soldiers are dead tonight, but none of them were very important people. It’s a sickening thing to say when you think about it. www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

Open-air corruption. They’re just flaunting it.

This is a great question for all of congress to think about. Hypothetically,If FEMA goes away, what happens to home owners and other insurance rates ? Climate change looks like it will make rates so high, home insurers will want equity in your house as a way of holding down rates

Wow

Canada and the European Commission need to suspend X operations and investigate whether or not these allegations can be corroborated, if yes, lawsuits, sanctions, and an Interpol red and silver notice are necessary against X Corp, Elon Musk, and his collaborators.

read this thread… it’s just jaw-dropping:

true

The Supreme Court took 7 days to decide the TikTok case. The Supreme Court took 2 MONTHS to decide the Trump immunity case.

Each time I have sat down to write something since the election, I am bothered by this recurring phrase that I simply cannot get out of my head. So,I am going to just say it out loud: we are on our own. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-a...

BREAKING: Republicans aim to INCREASE insulin costs Trumpers in Congress introduce bill to KILL the $35/mo cap on insulin prices that Biden passed To hurt 8.4 million Americans who rely on insulin And to help Big Pharma and insurance THAT is what Trump and the GOP represent

FLAG: The North Carolina Supreme Court has issued an order blocking state officials from certifying the Democratic candidate as the winner of the race for a seat on the Court. All of the Republicans on the Court ruled against certification.

wtf

The fact that Republicans are attempting to straight up steal a Supreme Court seat in North Carolina by invalidating over 60,000 legally-cast votes should be getting a lot more attention than it is.

Just donated to #wikipedia you should too!

Recently took a peek at Twitter and the disinformation is getting substantially more dangerous. Someone could get killed. The tactics of constantly repeating outright lies, targeting specific people, repurposing years-old footage and presenting them as new is getting to another level. It’s scary.

Wouldn’t it be funny if everyone sent empty envelopes addressed to “President Elon Musk” at MaraLago? I’m not suggesting you all do it but wouldn’t it be funny? 🤭 1100 S Ocean Blvd, Palm Beach, FL 33480, United States
