Elon updated DOGE, claiming to have fixed the mistakes we all pointed out. But instead of correcting them, he just added more false claims. He even inflated his so-called “savings” total from $55 billion to $65 billion, when in reality, the actual increase is only from $2 billion to $2.3 billion.

Wow. 20+ DOGE staffers just resigned en masse, saying they refuse to use their expertise to “dismantle critical public services.” “We swore to serve the American people... However, it has become clear that we can no longer honor those commitments.”

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

Pritzker: If we don’t want to repeat history, then for god’s sake, in this moment, we better be strong enough to learn from it.

@repbonamici.bsky.social @jeff-merkley.bsky.social @wyden.senate.gov Medicaid is a lifeline! People with disabilities rely on Medicaid services to support them in their daily lives. We need to strengthen the program, not reduce it. #ProtectMedicaid and save lives!

I've been reading a book called Fascism: A Warning by Madeleine Albright. The more I read, the more similarities I see between history and what we are seeing today in the US. Does anyone have any other books that they would recommend on this topic? #books #booksky #fascism #politics

Need a break from the politics? I tried my hand at putting together a feed of animals, nature, and photography for a little bit of brain bleach. Check it out and let me know what you think!

NEW: The USPS has abruptly stopped accepting all packages from Hong Kong and China until further notice. The move comes after China imposed retaliatory tariffs on US imports, in response to President Trump’s executive order to increase tariffs on China. https://wrd.cm/3Q15g62

There are many who now have concerns over air travel in the United States considering Trump's actions. Targeting rail projects and saying "... take an airplane" on the heels of a major crash that's still under investigation seems like a bad take.

Okay, major media institutions: This is how I titled my latest video. You'll notice that the title both informs of a thing *and* explains that the video itself contains more context while also teasing at what it is. You need to be doing that second part. Connect some fucking dots.

NEW: Sources tell my office that Treasury Secretary Bessent has granted DOGE *full* access to this system. Social Security and Medicare benefits, grants, payments to government contractors, including those that compete directly with Musk's own companies. All of it.

Here's a PSA to those of you out there in the US with self employment income. H&R Block and TurboTax wanted over $120 to file my taxes just because I had some income from DoorDash/Uber Eats. I found out I could instead file for free. (1/2)

It's been a week. The shock part is over; the awe part never happened. Time to be throwing sand into the fascist gears, y'all.

Anyone an expert in coffee futures and prices, that could comment on the impact of a 25 PCT tariff on Columbia on the price of coffee for American consumers ?

Americans voted for cheaper groceries. Less than a week on the job and Trump's already managed to get us into a trade war that will drive up the cost of coffee and be a gut-punch to American farmers and manufacturers, all because Colombia hurt his feelings.
