I think it will surprise no one here that the putative DOGE administrator was informed of her new posting by phone while she was in Mexico.

Just....wow.

“Elon Musk’s team at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency has posted classified information about the size and staff of a U.S. intelligence agency on its new website” www.huffpost.com/entry/elon-m...

Don’t lose hope. Remember, Watergate took over two years to fully unravel from the initial break-in to Nixon’s resignation. Just like then and now, Americans are losing faith in their government. We are documenting every illegal action and will hold this administration and Elon Musk accountable.

If you’ve already started calling it the Gulf of America instead of the Gulf of Mexico, you should have no trouble with someone’s preferred name and pronouns.

Thanks, Elon. My salary is public, as is my financial report. But since you ask, when will you be releasing yours?

Here is the pre-RFK vaccination schedule for your kids. Please download it before he is confirmed and changes/deletes it. Give it to your pediatrician and say this is the schedule you want your kids on. Making this my pinned post.

I love this series so much, but I also wish they included the sources, so I will www.senate.gov/legislative/... I can’t find the second one shorturl.at/u2aKc (Shapiro announcement) www.instagram.com/azdemparty/r... (Arizona) jayapal.house.gov/2025/02/13/j...

Yes. This is the question that has to be put to Trump, his lackeys, and DOJ lawyers in court: if DOGE and Trump are allegedly so concerned with waste, fraud, and abuse, why did he (*purport to*) fire all the IGs? The answer can't be that catturd found something fishy in a spreadsheet.

Good morning and Happy Tuesday to everyone who's noticed that ever since trump took over, planes are falling out of the sky, measles and tuberculosis on the rise, billionaires are getting richer, but egg prices are higher than ever. This administration is DEI as fuck.

for pity’s sake, I am BEGGING university leaders to stop framing this issue in terms of what this will cost the university. people dont care! EXPLAIN WHAT THIS WILL COST THE PUBLIC: closed hospitals and clinics, skipped treatments, loss of access to experimental drugs, unemployment, recession

NYT and WaPo still aren't running with the names WIRED published 3 days ago

✅ DEI Action of the Day™ Join Costco $65 a year Yesterday, 19 Republican attorneys sent a letter to Costco: "Within 30 days, please either notify us that Costco has repealed its DEI policies or explain why Costco has failed to do so." Join Costco here: www.costco.com/join-costco....

Hey, where the fuck is that person who keeps showing up every four years, peels away a bunch of critical votes, and then disappears for another four years? How do people keep falling for that shit?

New Mexico judge says no to Gitmo

NEW: Senate Democrats say they’ve set up portal for whistleblowers to alert “Any Potential Lawlessness Under The Trump Administration”

📌BREAKING: The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has been wiped off the Web. 📌MISSION: To protect consumers from unfair, deceptive, or abusive practices and take action against companies that break the law. We arm people with the information. 📌The working class of the U.S. are under attack.

Not watching any of it. Not the pre-game. Not the replay. Nothing. I'll read about it in the local news tomorrow, but that's it. Oh, and this is just the latest in an ever growing lists why the NFL as an organization is just pure garbage.

But wait I was told it was just about fairness in sports and children making "life altering" health decisions before they're ready

If you are scared to protest now, remember: this is the easiest it will ever be. Life under dictatorships is pure hell & lasts for decades, probably the rest of your lives if you don’t stop them now. Read about Iran, Syria, Afghanistan – sooner or later you have to overthrow them. Choose sooner. #3E

This.

What this long and detailed NYT piece calmly calls an “extraordinary flexing of power by a private individual” is in fact a blatantly unconstitutional usurpation of Congress’s Article I powers and delegation of the President’s Article II duties. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/u...

They have already blown past their own authority. The courts must enjoin them now.

Rep. Pressley: Elon Musk is a Nazi nepo baby

so now that the nerds are unequivocally in charge and it is manifestly apparent that they’re not actually better or kinder or more righteous than the jocks/“normies”/whatevs y’all finally going to listen to women about how their disinterest in dating them in HS was actually sensible?

New on @MSNBC: The Trump admin has blocked access to secure communications for hundreds of USAID employees abroad — including many who work in dangerous war zones — according to multiple sources with knowledge of the matter. @NBCNews

We’re here for you, more than ever. Please help spread our page far and wide many are desperately seeking reliable updates on public health, especially regarding bird flu, COVID-19, and tuberculosis. No one can silence us when it comes to sharing crucial health news. Together, we stay strong!

U.S. citizens and legal residents are being shipped overseas to be jailed?! How does this not set off every possible civil rights alarm bell. Their prisons are renowned for their horrible conditions. Does the 8th Amendment no longer exist? www.cnn.com/2025/02/03/a...

no funding if it seems like the research MIGHT involve a woman or a nonwhite person

We desperately, urgently need a media that isn’t afraid to name this as the evisceration of the federal government. That is what is going on. We cannot only be comfortable using such language when the situation is far away in time or space. It’s happening here. We need to be clear.

The FBI has a massive opportunity to be the hero of this American story.

There are so many truly amazing, fearless independent outlets and journalists who are willing to be bold and tell the truth about what is happening. If you're able, support them instead.

The news keeps saying "accept" and "house" deportees and that's an unconscionable to deceptive way to say: El Salvador wants the US to pay them & ship them criminalized American citizens & non-citizens alike to work and die as slaves in El Salvadoran prisons, which Trump & Rubio want to make happen

Reposted with alt text. 800,000 Palestinians have been murdered in the Gaza genocide.

Weird how not a single one of the newspapers and magazines that have been breathlessly churning out "cancel culture" thinkpieces for the past four years have managed to use the word "censorship" at all to describe the most rapid and comprehensive campaign of mass-censorship in recent US history.

Re the pause: he needed an out and our neighbors gave him one.

Just heard the new administration referred to as "the turd reich". 🤣🤣🤣 Perfect.

They're not fooling anyone.

Wrote this in the other place, photo for word count. Peace.

I'll reiterate that I don't think the various trolls/bots/chuds here understand how comprehensive the Bluesky block function is here. It's so good that it actually encourages "don't engage, just block": nothing's left over after the block happens so there's no point engaging at all. Just brilliant.
