Anti-vax activists — more accurately, con artists — affiliated with RFK Jr. are selling a "measles treatment and prevention protocol" for hundreds of dollars, including supplements supposedly formulated by AI.

Wow. Rep. Chuck Edwards is getting torn apart at a town hall in Asheville, NC. “I’m a veteran & you don’t give a fuck about me. You don’t get to do this to us!” Edwards orders veteran to be thrown out. We’re approaching a tipping point now. Anger across the country is going to boil over soon.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

Officials at the FAA have directed staff to identify tens of millions of dollars to fund a Starlink deal for upgrading air traffic control communications. Staff has been instructed to find the funds while minimizing documentation and avoiding a paper trail.

IN 1956 NIKITA KHRUSCHEV SAID "We do not have to invade the USA we will destroy you from within"

During WW2, four brothers from a Jewish family signed up to fight against the Nazis. Only one of the four brothers survived. His grandson is the current President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky a Hero!

Imagine if Democratic Governors came together as a united front against Elon's fascism? DGAF: Democratic Governors against Fascism. Consider taking a moment to write or call your governor to demand they form an emergency coalition to defend what remains of this nation #DGAF www.nga.org/governors/

What the fuck

Any news outlet reporting Mexico conceded anything to Trump to get him to delay tariffs has not done its homework. Trump boasts he got Mexico to commit to stationing 10K troops at our border. Apparently he didn't realize Mexico already has 15K troops deployed there prami.ibero.mx/informes-y-i...

I can’t.

For the people telling us USAID was not created by an act of Congress: Google is your friend www.justsecurity.org/107267/can-p...

Any other person would be arrested…

WIRED is tracking numerous reports of Musk-related shenanigans across the federal govt. We're looking for fed employees open to discussing the activity they're seeing or to help confirm other reports. Anonymity offered. Please use @signal.org (contact dell.3030). Do not use work networks/devices.

Google published principals in 2018 barring its AI technology from being used for sensitive purposes. Weeks into President Donald Trump’s second term, those guidelines are being overhauled.

As far as I can tell, @wired.com is the only media outlet with deep coverage of the Musk coup.

federal workers are getting spammed today with “please quit” emails, i’m just told. the ones who still have access to their inboxes.

Yesterday’s live is now on YouTube: m.youtube.com/watch?featur...

Ocasio-Cortez: Musk 'raiding US classified information is a grave threat to national security': Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) on Sunday said she was alarmed by reports that tech billionaire Elon Musk was able to gain access to U.S. classified information, saying that poses a “grave threat”…

Elon Musk, an unelected, fascist oligarch, has bought the presidency and is carrying out a swift coup to consolidate power. We need to have a frank conversation about what has happened, what it will mean, and how we must resist this as individuals. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/a-coup-in-...

USAID workers at Washington HQ told to stay home on Monday in unexpected, early-morning email www.cnn.com/2025/02/03/p...

Dear Leaders of the Free World, Fight him at every turn. Make his life miserable. Expose his ignorance and sociopathy. Oppose and condemn and marginalize him. The decent people of this nation are not with him. We stand with you. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/dear-world...

This is Rupert Murdoch's Wallstreet Journal… Headline: “The Dumbest Trade War in History”

Btw let me reinforce this again when it comes to this crew: EVERY ACCUSATION IS A CONFESSION.

I'm just not looking. Looks like retirement might be delayed a few years...in a best case scenario.

Why hasn't someone......

sure maybe the price of eggs is sky high but at least we have a president who is unafraid to blame a plane crash on all the gay

do you have any idea just how badly you have to fuck up to get Canada mad at you

"AI nurses" are as "good as any doctor": RFK Jr. confirms he wants to take away people's health care. Kennedy's plan to "make America healthy" is to replace real medical care with robots and lectures about diet. Sheer madness!

Confirmation that distribution of already contracted funds have been frozen: "EPA cuts off IRA solar money already under contract. Recipients of the $7 billion Solar For All program were locked out of an online portal that’s used to distribute federal funding."

The world is a vampire

This is Phyllis Fong. I very much respect that she made them physically remove her from her office, which remains hers by right, because she hasn’t been legally terminated.
