PSA to Washington State folks, there's a WA Department of Transportation text scam going around right now that says you owe tolls and will face legal action if you don't click and pay them. Ignore and delete—WSDOT doesn't threaten people by text (and you can see it's not them from the link).

This is a really good summary of the whole Trump tariff clown show in a way that probably only the Canadian Broadcasting Corp cld do. Not like aggressive, just a dispassionate and very clarifying. Even elegant. Quite good. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHoZ...

Please enjoy my last ever post at Climate.gov/ENSO Blog. This afternoon I was fired by the Trump Administration 15 days before my 2yr probationary period ended on March 13. I have worked at NOAA since 2010, and I'm so incredibly proud of the work I did. If anyone wants a quote, let me know.

Elon musk is fake efficient. He uses efficient words, but they mean nothing. Real efficiency is building something that works, is elegant, offers genuine public service.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

The feckless and disorganized Trump administration is on the rampage to destroy our safety and health. www.columbian.com/news/2025/fe...

I started my Sunday having a conversation with Copilot about universal healthcare. Copilot thinks that in Iceland it costs about $6300 per person to get everyone healthcare. The have an efficient billing system. People have to pay a small amount. Here we pay $14,000 a year, not all are covered.

🚑🚑🚑 Hey Elon, do you want to save money? Koch-funded study: Medicare For All saves $2 trillion over ten years. Yale study: Medicare For All saves the American people $450 billion and 68,000 lives a year. New CBO study: Medicare For All saves $650 billion a year.

Had an awesome time chatting with Jon Stewart & @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social talking about how to fight the dumpster fire. Gear up. It’s time to brawl.

Nothing says “populism” like taking orders from the richest guy in the world

Random calculation: To earn $361.5 Billion dollars working minimum wage ($7.25 - srsly WTF I made $6.25 an hour in 1990 bagging groceries, how can this possibly be the minimum wage??) you would have to work for about 23 million years.
