ProPublica is recording the casualties of the DOGE purge, highlighting the scale of what is being lost as public health programs and seasoned experts are caught in the Trump administration’s blunt-force drive to shrink the federal government.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

A lesson in how claims of meritocracy as justification for opposing DEI are often cover for the demand that we return to a system of preference for white men - whatever their qualifications. Fire a qualified Black man. Hire a statutorily unqualified white man. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Musk took over the US government with graft and is using it—in combination with his space launch firm—to exploit an allied country that’s suffering under Russian invasion for its mineral rights. The scheme is so imperiously evil I feel like audiences wouldn’t find it believable in a Bond villain.

Literature is fairly clear that because autocracies - contra democracies - aren’t very responsive to general welfare concerns, tax policies will skew heavily to favour the small supportive elite over of the general public. That seems likely to track with US regime change.

It's absolutely a cult and Putin - with the help of groups like the Heritage Foundation & NBC with its "Apprentice" LIE - found his perfect cult leader in king of the con artists Donald J. Trump. It's disgusting 77 million American idiots bought into Putin's big con & willingly joined his cult.

People do have the Power, they just do not utilize it especially in North America. Watch the French, the Germans, they are on the streets when they do not like what they see is happening.

All politics is economics. If the Supreme Court Citizens United decision grants more political power to those with more money, then to defeat them, it is essential that we target the sources of their wealth. Yes, that means you should sell your Tesla and get off X. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

President Trump has said Social Security “will not be touched.” But the DOGE team’s first wave of actions — initiating the elimination of 41 jobs and the closing of at least 10 local offices, so far — worries advocates about what might come next.

Trump pollster’s finds that 59% of voters in 18 swing districts are “worried about their personal financial situation,” and that Democrats are leading in the House generic ballot matchup by five points. @gregsargent.bsky.social: vulnerable GOPers will pay a price for walking lockstep with Trump.

Remarkable: Trump's own pollster just found that in swing House districts, Dems lead by 5 points and voters want tax policy to prioritize working people, per Politico. Yet GOP is about to brutally slash the safety net and give the rich huge tax cuts! New piece: newrepublic.com/article/1918...

Thank you Gov. Janet Mills & @balint.house.gov. But how long must we wait before we see @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social & @schumer.senate.gov show the same kind of courage - if ever? If they won't go face-to-face with Trump, if the won't show up to rallies, then they need to GET OUT NOW!

Nice statement, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social. BUT did you actually pick up the phone & tell Trump this personally? When will you show up to rallies? WHY have you been so silent about Putin's thugs Trump & Elon killing 1000s of American jobs & STEALING Americans' data, money & resources?

Trump & Hegseth are planning to use our U.S. military to take illegal actions against Americans. And Republicans - especially Trump sycophant Lindsey Graham, a former Judge Advocate General Corps member - will be 100% OK with it. It's way past time for Americans to take to the streets!

Big Balls’s past gets more scrutiny — including the internship where he was terminated. “You’re willing to risk our entire network to a 17-year-old?” one frustrated executive asked the company’s CEO in 2022. “Are you for real right now?” @cnn.com www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...
