If there's one thing you know about bacteria, it's that they're too small to see with the unaided eye, right? Wrong. Buried in the sediments around Caribbean mangroves is the largest known bacteria, Thiomargarita magnifica. It's the size of a human eyelash (~1 cm). (📷: Tomas Tyml)

So now no one knows who's actually running DOGE? A shadow agency slashing programs and dodging oversight with zero accountability? Nothing about this is efficient, and it’s hurting workers and families. And we know who’s behind it.

I'm not saying I've seen evidence that Russia literally provided Trump with talking points. But if, hypothetically, Trump were sticking to a Kremlin-written script, he'd sound an awful lot like he sounds now. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

3rd of federal workers are veterans. The federal government is largely a jobs program for them. This is who Trump and Musk are hurting with their callous, non-targeted DOGE cuts. We’re going to see a lot of Jobless vets.

The DOGE guys didn’t just make one $8B mistake in their savings list — “they are getting it wrong with alarming consistency” They don’t seem to understand how these things are calculated. 🧵: x.com/electricfutu...
