NEW: Public health teams are being gutted by Trump's purge of federal employees, imperiling crucial, lifesaving work. "We are hollowing out our government in a way that is going to hurt people and is going to get people killed." w/ @deldeib.bsky.social: www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Dems moving to adjourn for long weekends is obstruction, not vacation It delays votes & buys time for legal challenges It also has more power to change Rep votes than anything the Dems can do. This is in the most Republican district in Wisconsin. www.tmj4.com/news/washing...

saying it again: if there are "conditions" on aid to california, no democrat should vote for any disaster aid of any kind to any state. all states get aid or no states get aid. that's it

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

Teacher #twinja: a question I have a choir acquaintance who is homeschooling her 3 kids Her son (approx age 9) is (she says) ADHD. She says yesterday he was not doing his schoolwork, getting distracted, not focusing... So she squirted him with a water gun. Like a cat.

So much for fighting cancer and heart disease. “The new administration has, both in broad strokes and in rather backroom bureaucratic ways, stopped the processes by which the N.I.H. funds biomedical research in the nation,” said Vaughn Cooper, a microbiologist at the University of Pittsburgh.”

Oh fuck, what a grift. J6 terrorists sue a DOJ controlled by Trump; Trump orders DOJ lawyers to settle for an undisclosed amount, both sides agree to an NDA. This can happen dozens, hundreds of times. Just an ingenious way to funnel tax dollars to far-right terrorist groups.

Can we keep calling him "Big Balls" every time? Because it's so ridiculous & therefore completely appropriate

Add up the claimed savings on the DOGE website and (right now )you get $7.19b from contract savings, and $0.14b from real estate, for a total of $7.3b, or $21.47 per American. Trump is talking about giving a "DOGE dividend" of 20% of these savings. Enjoy your $4.29.

not everything is terrible

They are deliberately crossing the red lines, in order to make the unacceptable commonplace and, eventually, acceptable again.

Ok there's the only positive thing I will credit Herr Drumf for

It is amazing the hoops reporters will jump through to avoid saying “the unelected president is openly running a protection racket and Fortune 100 corporations are openly paying his fees.” finance.yahoo.com/news/elon-mu...

No, the mail is not “the least of our worries.” It’s a fucking important worry. It is the only postal service that delivers to every address. They are only provider of complete mail services for overseas military bases and provide free overseas PO boxes. They help prepare passport apps. Ship meds…

So all the little Doge Nazis are listed as "employees" of whatever agency they're actively dismantling? Those salaries (like all fed employees) should be made public and oh yeah, how did they get security clearances so quickly? Esp. the turd who was fired elsewhere for leaking sensitive info??

Oh great. Thanks #maga - including and especially Eastern Washington - for killing us all. How's the price of eggs?

Here's video of Steve Bannon doing a Sieg Heil today at CPAC. It is what it is and it's what Bannon intended. Don't let yourself be gaslit.
