“Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team is eliminating jobs at the vehicle safety agency that oversees Tesla and has launched investigations into deadly crashes involving his company’s cars.”

They’re shutting down EV chargers at all federal government buildings. They are also expected to sell off the GSA’s newly bought EVs. But — they also are giving Elon and Tesla $M for armored EVs? Make it make sense.

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.

“For the first time in my lifetime, we have a genuine attempt to reform the federal government from within…a focused effort to streamline bureaucracy, eliminate redundant agencies, and 👉return power to the states.” - Gavin Kliger

We can finally stop pretending it’s about saving money.

A new website created by about a dozen federal employees, called “We the Builders,” aims to be a secure outlet for government workers to share stories about how their workplaces are being impacted by DOGE, and a place to explain the real-world impact of its access to government tech systems.

National Science Foundation administrators reclassified hundreds of employees from permanent to probationary status in violation of labor contracts, according to a US lawmaker and agency employee reut.rs/3D1FhbE

US President Donald Trump deported 37,660 people during his first month in office, previously unpublished Department of Homeland Security data show, far less than the monthly average of 57,000 removals and returns in the last full year of Joe Biden's administration reut.rs/3QrUQfQ

Data posted to the DOGE website detailing headcount and total wages for the National Reconnaissance Office is not classified, but was 'not intended for public release,' an agency spokesperson told Reuters reut.rs/3EQJ9wP

200 million dollars of waste.

In a small trial, nearly half of pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine had no signs of relapse after three years. Dr. Vinod Balachandran from @mskcancercenter.bsky.social joins us to discuss the results and what they could mean for cancer treatment.

McCormick is the worst kind of person.

bad week for the stock market

2 fucking headlines right next to each other

NEW: Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%. https://propub.li/43487Tj

Hahahahahahahahaha! Sit down dude.

Morning - Rise up & resist! Today, let's focus on what we can control. Remembering that our purpose fuels our resilience & resistance. They want us to be fearful; worrying about the future. Bc in fear, we're not living in the moment. We're unable to help now when we're spiraling. #tgif

Idiocracy was a documentary

Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, ProPublica’s analysis shows. As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.

This is really something

Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

Y’all it’s fine. We should be honored at what’s being done to us. It’s a sacrifice for the greater good! Imagine them tackling the covid response this way…a PR blitz to get the public to agree with masking and vaccinations. But noooo. We get this instead. www.defense.gov/Multimedia/V...

I’m not sure the world has seen a genuine supervillain until 2025. Of course there’ve been countless monsters: hitler, Stalin, pol pot. But a real life figure who fits the Gotham/Metropolis model. Plutocrat bigwig who is actually deeply evil & wants to run the world for cartoonishly stupid reasons.

Steve Bannon, after calling for Trump to be President for life, did a Nazi salute on stage at CPAC. Nazism has officially taken over the GOP. The few remaining conservatives have a choice: either leave the party and obstruct it—or choose to be complicit.

The FBI warned Thom Tillis about “credible death threats” when he considering voting against Pete Hegseth’s nomination.

Joseph Hayne Rainey (1832-1887) was the first African American to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives. He was from South Carolina who served from 1870-1879. Mr. Rainey worked to pass legislation that guaranteed equal protection under the law and funded public schools. #BlackHistoryMonth

Fun fact: the US isn’t sending $ to Ukraine. We are sending arms and used equipment (already paid for with taxpayer $) that would otherwise be destroyed because it already reached its lifecycle. We are sending them our leftovers.

Satan’s lawyers look kinda human 👀

"The layoffs come in the middle of tax filing season. Former IRS officials warned that losing such a large number of employees could disrupt Americans’ ability to easily file taxes this year, even if the layoffs are not supposed to affect those deemed 'critical'...” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/u...

The waste is coming from the White House. 👇

We need to save some smoke for voters. Trump was very clear during the campaign that he planned to settle Russia's war on Ukraine quickly and on Putin's terms. 77 million people voted for him anyway, and now he's following through. American voters sold out our ally.

We are firing people so this fat ass can golf and abdicate his responsibilities to Elon Musk.
