Worth your support!

Alright folks, here we go! Ask me anything, 30ish mins, gogo!

@karaswisher.bsky.social and @profgalloway.com talk Trump's legal maneuvers and FTC purge, Starlink at the White House, BYD's supercharger and more: open.spotify.com/episode/5wxL...

Thwarted by their own big mouths… again

If you want to predict Trump's next move, check his playbook... here's how his policies already align with Project 2025.

We’ve been taught to believe that the menace to society was the fraternity alpha male. It isn’t. Society is being subjected to the sociopathy of a bunch of tech CEOs who, in my view, did not get laid enough as young men. www.profgalloway.com/porn/

After Boeing donated $1M into inauguration fund, it has been now awarded with a $20B+ engineering and manufacturing development contract that will lead to hundreds of billions of dollars in orders over the contract's multi-decade lifetime. ⬇️

Pro tip for Democrats: if Trump is congratulating you, you fucked up.

WATCH: The Trump admin and Elon Musk’s DOGE recently fired over 6k fed workers at the #IRS and there are plans to cut more than half of its 90k workers. “When you hamstring the IRS,” former IRS commissioner John Koskinen said, “it’s just a tax cut for tax cheats.” 📰: @andykroll.bsky.social

NEW: For years, a Connecticut towing company got to cut the line at the DMV in exchange for selling towed cars at deep discounts, according to a DMV report, allowing one DMV employee to resell them for steep profits. With @ctmirror.org

In today’s hellscape news, the Trump administration is planning to cut 80,000 jobs from the Department of Veterans Affairs. The VA is already short-staffed and wait times are abhorrent. Veterans will die because of this move.

This was always the math - it didn’t need a CBO scoring for people to realize this, but hopefully now they’ll wake up. The GOP is going after Medicaid and Medicare to give their rich friends a tax cut. Full stop.

It’s really not all that wild - they’ve been pushing this unitary executive theory bullshit since the beginning of the campaign. You know, when they were pretending Project 2025 wasn’t real?

Alright folks, here we go! Ask me anything, 30ish mins, gogo

1. The accomplice 2. The shamelessly lying hype man 3. The Drug Dealer 4. Whoever the fuck this is

Someone needs to explain to our Sec of Commerce how capitalism works. America has a GLOBAL TRADE SURPLUS on services. Services have the highest margins and profits of our exports. That is where capital and expertise focused. It is why we dominate in tech globally.

of course

One million children will go untreated for severe malnutrition, up to 166,000 people will die from malaria and 200,000 more children will be paralyzed by polio over the next decade, the memos estimated. The programs were cut anyway. @propublica.org www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Well, as far as I can tell, nothing interesting happened today(😳), but if anyone wants to chat… Ask me anything, 30ish mins, gogo

Alaska schools are a mess. Consider: * A roof left to leak for 19 years; the school is about to collapse * A school w/o running water; kids ride the "bathroom bus" home 2x a day * Exposed wiring near flammable insulation “Our cries for help haven’t been heard.” www.propublica.org/article/rura...

NEW: One million children will go untreated for severe malnutrition, up to 166,000 people will die from malaria and 200,000 more children will be paralyzed by polio over the next decade, internal memos estimated. The USAID programs were cut anyway. By Brett Murphy and @annamaria.bsky.social

Tuberculosis, the deadliest infectious disease on the planet, kills more than 1.25M people a year. New infections are expected to surge by 30% as a result of closing USAID, one memo obtained by @propublica.org says. Read the latest from @annamaria.bsky.social + Brett Murphy

Trump To Ease Sanctions On Russia As I Predicted. Please Share. youtu.be/bX5y5xJqDrI?...

If you're satisfying Russian authoritarians to the level they are praising you, don't you think maybe your methods aren't that great?

The warnings were clear: * 1 million kids untreated for severe acute malnutrition; * Up to 166,000 malaria deaths; * TB cases up 30% * 200,000 more polio-induced paralysis cases in 10 years. The Trump team killed USAID anyway. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

#ICYMI: The confidential personal information of hundreds of thousands of alleged victims of housing discrimination, including victims of domestic violence, is now in DOGE’s hands. By @jessecoburn.bsky.social

⚡️ Reported Russian 'shadow fleet' oil tanker, detained over damaged undersea cables, allowed to leave Finland. Three of the eight suspected individuals from the ship's crew have been barred from leaving Finland as investigations continue.

ICYMI, @radek-sikorski.bsky.social UN speech: "Ukraine is not a project..." youtu.be/p4JFNtlxz9k?...

“If we stop, they will die." Unreleased government reports found that Trump's USAID freeze threatens the Israel-Hamas ceasefire and imperils partnerships aimed at combatting terrorism, illegal immigration, drug trafficking, disease outbreaks and more. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Migrants from countries including Venezuela, Central America, Egypt, Ecuador, Guinea, Vietnam and Senegal have been sent to Guantanamo, according to data shared with @ProPublica. A mother whose son was detained there speaks out. Video by Gerardo del Valle www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Vance mistook Ukraine for the Republican congressional caucus

This presser was a horror show. Ukraine will not have US support going forward, because Trump and Vance are completely lost. Europe will step-up and this war will continue. Trump blew this bigger than any foriegn policy folly in recent history.

Man, we don't fully know what's going on here, but it sure feels like some kind of quid pro quo corruption. At best, Sun's puchases of WLF tokens is an unconstitutional emolument.

NOAA & NWS staffers who want to speak to the media, feel free to reach out to me at [email protected] or hcarnell.58 on signal happy to talk but have been especially following DEI and climate flagged researchers, widespread economic impacts of science cuts, and protests.

The Trump administration informed hundreds of probationary employees across the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the NWS that they were fired. The terminations come days before a potential severe weather outbreak in the U.S. and months ahead of the next hurricane season.

How To Start Saving Money 💰💰

What an absolute fucking embarrassment this whole discussion was. It’ll play great on Russian media and with the useful idiots on Twitter, though.

Elon Musk said DOGE made a mistake by cutting USAID’s Ebola prevention but it had been “restored.” That’s not true, current and former officials told me and @johnphudson.bsky.social. “There have been no efforts to ‘turn on’” Ebola prevention, said Nidhi Bouri, who oversaw team until January.

See the truck? Send us a secure tip.

Opposition movements always seem hopeless until they’re not. Apartheid existed for decades and then came crashing down rapidly.
