(AP) — Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team is eliminating jobs at the vehicle safety agency that oversees Tesla and has launched investigations into deadly crashes involving his company’s cars. #OligarchEra 🇺🇸 apnews.com/article/musk...

Now he’s just going to walk Elon and his racist hackers through the front door of Fort Knox?! Trump- “We’re also going to Fort Knox, I’m gonna go with Elon.. because we want to see if the gold is still there”

www.npr.org/2025/02/22/g... It's 1130pm in GERMANY Tomorrow, they vote .... The AFD (Musk Backed) Far right extreme This election so critical for it will affect not only GERMANY but Europe and even Ukraine The AFD must be defeated

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

The Bureau of Prisons is moving forward with plans to move transgender inmates out of prisons that align with their gender identity and into facilities that align with their assigned sex at birth.

I truly think people don’t realize how many universities and colleges — especially public ones — may shut down if restrictions on and withholding of federal funding persists for even one presidency We are facing the demolition of American higher education

By accepting Trump’s anti-Black premise and regurgitating the narrative that equates anything Black as DEI, the NY Times has become part of the propaganda machine

NEW Here is the full email that Musk/OPM is sending to 2 million federal employees. Subject line: What did you do last week? Musk claimed on X that failure to reply would be considered a resignation, but that is not mentioned in the email.

General Charles Q. Brown Jr., Faithfully and Honorably served the Constitution and The People of the US for 41-years in the USAF. His last posting was as the 21st Chairman of The Joint Chiefs of Staff. He was unjustly fired by the dangerously unqualified SECDEF. I proudly stand with Gen. Brown.

Washington evangelical pastor & chaplain, David Franklin, has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for recording himself sexually abusing a 4 year old girl & possessing child sexual abuse material. www.yakimaherald.com/news/local/c...

UPDATE #36,722: Elon Musk’s latest baby mama #4, Ashley St. Clair, has leaked screenshots of texts between her and Elon Musk and in a leaked custody petition, she details just how absent Elon has been in the child’s life. I can’t imagine this will go over well

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

NEW: The email went out about 30 minutes ago.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

'He Is Innocent': Juror Urges Clemency for Alabama Man Facing Execution: The Alabama Supreme Court has cleared the way for the execution of a man whose innocence claim is supported by a juror from his trial

This is a profoundly stupid thing to do. The investment has already been made. We need at-work charging. Especially at govt buildings per Trump’s strict policy that federal employees must work at federal offices. This creates stranded assets without any good reason. THIS is actual waste & abuse.

“Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team is eliminating jobs at the vehicle safety agency that oversees Tesla and has launched investigations into deadly crashes involving his company’s cars.”

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

OREGON: “The house & senate are totally abdicating their responsibilities.” @RepBentz (R) is the latest Republican to get confronted by constituents at a town hall. (Tennessee folks— town halls are these things where senators/reps show up and you can talk to them in person)

Uhhhhhh www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

“The United States has threatened to cut off Ukraine's access to Starlink satellite internet terminals if Kyiv does not reach a deal with the U.S. regarding critical mineral resources, Reuters reported on Feb. 21, citing three sources familiar with the negotiations.”

Listen up.

UPDATE: Meta is continuing to censor anti-Musk ads. It has removed a Facebook ad calling for a boycott of Tesla, saying that it violates the company's policy on "unacceptable business practices" muskwatch.com/subscribe

BREAKING: The USDA has confirmed five additional dairy herds in California have tested positive for the virus, raising the total to 732. Currently, 74% of the state's dairy herds are infected with H5N1.

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.

People with doctorates are the most liberal and progressive. The entire mission of destroying academia is to eliminate entire voting demographics. They explicitly spell this out. Shutting down PhD programs isn't an accident, it's the goal.

Each episode of the new Max series covers one hour in a single day in a busy emergency department. The show manages to feel sympathetic to the hospital staff and to the patients in their care.

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...

"U.S. negotiators pressing Kyiv for access to Ukraine's critical minerals have raised the possibility of cutting the country's access to Elon Musk's vital Starlink satellite internet system, three sources familiar with the matter told Reuters."

Why did Hegseth just fire every top military branch lawyer? What did they refuse to sign off on? A Pulitzer awaits the reporters and outlet who can tell the public.

If you support this, you’re an awful human being

New, from me: Unpacking the Friday night news: *The military purges have begun - why do they also include lawyers? *A Judge is allowing the dismantling of USAID to proceed. This reflects a pattern where Judges are ignoring the broader democratic risks. open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

US threatens to shut off Starlink if Ukraine won't sign minerals deal, sources tell Reuters This is straight-up extortion

The case, brought by attorneys general in 22 states and the District of Columbia, represents a pivotal test for the administration as it pursues a dramatic review of government spending priorities.

What do voters think about Elon Musk and his rampage through the US Government? A banger episode of The Focus Group pod with @karaswisher.bsky.social ‬⁩ who blows my mind with a couple of insight about Elon’s endgame.

It'd be awesome if @whitehouse.senate.gov asked Attorney General Bondi if she has issued some kind of finding that foreign donations are cool now, so long as they're covered up nicely. www.emptywheel.net/2025/02/22/p...

Overflow angry crowd for town hall with Glenn Grothman in Oshkosh this morning ... www.wpr.org/news/glenn-g...

Decades of sacrifice and work by generations of men and women across the globe up in smoke. Truly tragic. Tens of millions of American voters squandered the legacy of their parents and grandparents for the thrill of racism and “owning the libs.”

Literally have no clue how the media isn't covering this story 24/7 when its tailormade for ratings too given how TMZ'd people are with everything. This is one of the worst human beings in the country and he's co-president and the press just refuses to cover it in any meaningful way.

Trump’s betrayal of Americans: He promised not to cut Medicaid—now he’s backing a House plan that slashes $880 billion from it. All to fund $4.5 trillion in tax cuts for the rich. He doesn’t care if families drown in debt, as long as he & his billionaire buddies get richer. Don’t Cut My Medicaid!

“I’m in West Virginia — My insulin went from $6 to $80”

BRAVO to Maine Governor Janet Mills for slapping petty tyrant trump in the face with her calmly defiant "see you in court." THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE. 🔥🔥🔥
