If you look at all the firings across the government over the last two weeks it's frequently been taken as a given that any black or woman official or officer is either a DEI hire or supports DEI and is summarily fired on that basis. Seems like the same model here.

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

Usually when states go to court alleging federal coercion in violation of the 10th Amendment there is not a literal video of the President doing it.

Surely this can't go wrong. Https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2025/02/21/pentagon-job-cuts-trump-hegseth/

the only thing Canadians like more than beating Russia in hockey is beating the US in hockey. the general sentiment this morning is that last night we got to do both.

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

With a measles outbreak growing in West Texas, and cases popping up across the country, experts say vaccination is your best protection. And it's not just for kids. Some adults may need a booster.

Is anyone going to do anything to stop this or let him steamroll over our fucking allies? share.newsbreak.com/bnho8nk6

What’s that got to do with the price of eggs? as my mom used to say. What with the price of eggs in the States, I share 3 favorite eggless dessert recipes on my Substack! jamieschler.substack.com/p/eggless-ch...

A lot of things that are done in science, particularly but not exclusively biology, must be tended every day. I suspect that some of them have already been damaged. If the cuts continue, more will.

Mitch McConnell passes the baton to the next generation of Republican leadership in the Senate as Jim Justice rolls on by.

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.

Has Trump called it rigged yet? apple.news/A805omX2oTiG...

People need to understand this: Trump did not leave office willingly the first time. If his health holds up, he will not leave office willingly this time. He is not joking about serving more than two terms.

Elon is a dick (and a clear and present danger to our country). Hey, DOJ, looking forward to receiving your letter. DM me if you need my address.

Elon Musk at CPAC was the “say no to drugs” commercial that Trump was talking about running.

A year ago this month, Trump said he would encourage Russia to attack NATO allies and "do whatever the hell they want" unless allies paid up. We thought it was so important, we ran it on the front page of the @mississippifreepress.org at a time when the New York Times and others didn't.

The Judge said NIH grants for medical research had to be unfrozen; the White House found a way to refreeze it. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/white...

Extraordinary story the Wall Street Journal. X is threatening advertisers that if they don’t spend more, Elon Musk will use his influence in government to block company mergers. That’s extortion.

In 2024, the NLRB filed a complaint against Tesla for interfering in a union drive at their Buffalo, NY assembly plant. Today:

BREAKING: The Trump administration has announced that it will kill Medicare coverage of most telehealth services on April 1st.

Here’s a good model for responding to this dipshit’s letters:

I have solved Bird Flu. Give the chickens ivermectin. Have the chickens practice Earthing. The problem with their immune systems is they are not touching the soil enough. Coffee enemas for all chickens. Also we must stop reading them Ibram X. Kendi. Eggs will be back and most importantly not gay.

Two Dems in Maryland are proposing legislation SB0709 that makes wearing a mask a misdemeanor worth $500 or 90 days in jail if you threaten or intimidate someone. So it’s a tool for Karens. I called both State Senators to let them know my money is going to their next primary opponent.

To be clear...

Have we considered that our President isn’t very smart? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/w...
