im probably just being optimistic but it feels more and more like this strategy of rather indiscriminately and smugly firing a shitload of Americans who serve their country and don’t do political jobs will probably just start pissing off ppl who don’t pay attention to politics.

Coinbase was being investigated by the SEC so they: - gave $75M a to pro-Trump PAC - gave $1M to Trump’s inauguration - sponsored an inaugural party - hired Trump’s campaign manager - listed Trump’s meme coin And now the investigation is closed. These are called bribes.

We wrote about the 21 USDS staffers who are resigning, and it appears this is the response from the Trump admin. It begs the questions: If these workers were fully remote, were they not just expressing themselves in their own homes? What happened to the right to free expression?

Tech billionaires demanded Donald Trump use the power of the US government to pressure other countries not to crack down on them. Now Trump is pulling out of a global tax agreement and threatening tariffs against countries that pass digital services taxes targeting multinational tech companies.

I wrote last week: It’s hard to imagine two groups being more vindicated by events than the resistance liberals (a movement largely powered by women) and the never-Trump Republicans. They were right about Trump and how serious a danger he was from the jump.

Trump officials are trying to sneak around federal judges’ orders. They could be held in civil contempt of court, which can include jail time and can’t be undone with a presidential pardon, according to @sbagen.bsky.social . My latest for @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Gov. Mills showed precisely the sort of integrity in the face of political pressure that the majority of the party currently lacks. More importantly, she did so extemporaneously and without hesitation from a purple state where this isn't a universally popular position. www.maine.gov/governor/mil...

DOGE is getting a whole lot of headlines mainly because our brains aren't wired to make sense of millions, billions, or trillions of dollars. Lemme help: Math out the DOGE numbers and you'll discover that your DOGE dividend may buy you a coffee or two. The problem: There's just not that much waste.

So the amount that Elon Musk has actually cut from the federal budget is the equivalent of 0.5% of his current net worth, meanwhile he has caused massive harm with these illegal and indiscriminate cuts to services that help ordinary people all over the country and the world. Nice work doofus.
