Awful: Delivery of life saving treatment to nearly 400,000 severely malnourished kids abroad is in doubt amid USAID firings, the product's manufacturers tell me. The treatment is a paste made of peanuts, milk and sugar for kids on edge of starvation. Details here: newrepublic.com/article/1919...

Last night, House Republicans pushed forward with a budget plan that will cut billions in Medicaid funding for Americans. The fight is not over—we will continue to push back against this draconian effort.

Musk’s latest attempt to gut the federal workforce through the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) isn’t going so well — and it has left his detractors desperate to make his life harder by sending spam emails.

Mark Alford (R-MO): Elon Musk has contracts with the federal government, but he is also, I think, doing an effective job at weeding out the waste, abuse, and fraud in the government. Constituents: BOOO!!! SHOW ME!!! CONFLICT OF INTEREST!!! HE IS THE WASTE, FRAUD, AND ABUSE!!!

"If the GOP could pull Trump’s dick out of their mouths long enough for the oxygen to return to their brains, they might see how batshit crazy it is to run a govt like this... But that would require a spine and these Republicans have the collective courage of a baby deer caught in a 6-lane highway."

I stopped consuming MSNBC on November 5. Literally. Fucking done. They did nothing to protect us. They are as bad as the rest of the mainstream media. @joyannreid.bsky.social was the only saving grace. I'm so tired of the white echo chamber on both sides.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

Crockett on Trump's relatively high approval: We've gotta do better at education. People don't understand. But you will understand when your Medicaid goes away. You will understand when planes continue to fall out of the sky... maybe Sleepy Joe is what we wanted, bc we could at least sleep at night.

Trump last week: “Nobody’s going to work from a home. They’re going to be going out. They’re going to play tennis. They’re going to play golf.” Trump today: on day 4 of 5 working from home, day 4 straight of golfing for part of the day. www.cnn.com/2025/02/18/p...

Musk’s supporters believe that, through tech wizardry and sheer willpower, he’s slashing the federal deficit in a way that has eluded politicians for years. But this narrative has a glaring flaw: The Economist’s review of official data shows that his efforts have scarcely made a dent in spending.

Trump's flurry of anti-trans executive orders is justified as "protecting women." In reality, they are an attack on all women and girls, cis and trans. They make sexual abuse easier. And they're targeting research into women's health care for defunding. www.salon.com/2025/02/10/w...

We’re about to see the federal government terrorize its own workers and other private citizens by using their illegally stolen data to publicly dox them online - at the behest of an unelected South African billionaire who is constantly yarked out of his mind on drugs, and his army of fetuses.
