But at least their corporate tax law is nice right? apple.news/A-O0rstCGS5G...

Since the White House posted this, there has been, on average, one plane crash every five days in the United States.

A new government tracker claims DOGE has saved billions from ending federal contracts. But an NPR analysis of the data finds the claimed savings don't add up.

Alright, @mcuban.bsky.social is getting some hate on this thread of the "rich people have discovered public transit!" ilk. And, truthfully, I get it. But I think we need to have an honest conversation about the fact that public transit isn't working for large swaths of the country today.

Bad news, DOGE just shut down the EPA program to turn the frogs straight again

No lies detected.

This was very brave to write. Hold the line fed friends. ❤️🤍💙

Do not comply in advance. www.npr.org/2025/02/08/n...

Looks like the House is just gonna introduce people however they want now. If we’re gonna do that I have some suggestions. How about “The absolute waste of fucking oxygen from Illinois, Ms. Miller”

Government employees: please download your performance reviews/personnel files. Word is that the system will be going offline tomorrow to possible amend those performance reviews for justification of firings. Source: American Federation of Govt Employees. *Please share to protect fed workers*

The Clementine Criminal’s takedown of USAID defies logic.

Today is February 1st. Happy Black History Month everyone!

I’m so angry today. apple.news/AoW1LqbUzTwW...

I hope MAGA is happy. Your groceries just got more expensive.

Having access to an accurate passport is a matter of safety and freedom. We won’t allow the Trump administration to bulldoze our right to ID that reflects who we are.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

With all the conspiracy theories going on around the crash at Reagan, it’s probably a good time to remember Hanlon’s Razor.
