With the release of a grant temporarily frozen by the Trump administration, the north St. Louis County school district will be able to take delivery of 21 additional electric buses.

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

This is what happens when you let a bunch of inexperienced hacks tear down vital government agencies and services. This is not a game. Elon Musk and the DOGE boys are playing with people’s lives and our national security, and we need to shut them down.

Just an absolutely unacceptable and frankly dangerous level of incompetence from this administration. First, they "accidentally" fired the people who managed our nuclear weapons stockpile, and NOW they've fired the people responding to the rapidly evolving bird flu threat.

It really seems like “they accidentally fired the workers who oversee the nuclear stockpile & can’t find them to un-fire them” is the sort of story that has the potential to break through even in this news environment

A CNN headline for the ages: Trump officials fired nuclear staff not realizing they oversee the country’s weapons stockpile, sources say.

I like the idea of book clubs because I get a chance to turn a hobby into a social activity. But it does mean I'm reading books that aren't on my reading list. That makes me a little anxious. I'm still working through books I added back in 2022.

Elon Musk is developing a new payment platform called “X Money.” Guess which agency would be making sure that Elon’s new project couldn’t scam you or steal your sensitive personal data? The CFPB.

Our AG is a fucking clown. Fuck this idiot. And fuck any judiciary that allows this to become precedent.

And trying to remove the guy who protects whistleblowers who might call out the thievery. Robbers hunting down the cops.

Yeah. People need to stop treating this as a lame duck presidency.

Project 2025 was unpopular because of things like the plan for Trump to shut down the CFPB, which helps you get your money back if a bank cheats you.

CFPB protects YOU! It has returned billions of dollars to working Americans who big banks and mega corporations cheated. Getting rid of it means more money in the pockets of billionaires—so it's no surprise the richest man in the world is leading the charge. www.cnn.com/2025/02/09/b...

Trump hasn't reintroduced the Muslim Ban yet because the White House is following a process to try and avoid having it struck down in court (as it was in his first term, twice), but it is coming. Republicans could stop this, if they had the courage. beyer.house.gov/news/documen...

Normal, right? Add chainsaw video, pleading Fifth, Cayman/China deal, enemies list, “King Donald,” grand jury secrets, close counterterror section, “deep state” fantasies — mos def the guy you want running FBI. But enough for an R to grow a spine? www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Every committee in Congress should hold urgent hearings on Musk's illegal takeover of the federal government. He is causing real harm to the American people. I've been demanding hearings in the committees I sit on — the Republicans in charge need to DO THEIR JOBS.

NEWS: Responding to Evidence of a Treasury Cover-Up, Wyden Demands Bessent Come Clean on Musk Infiltration of Treasury Payment Systems

Musk's latest power grab: your Medicare benefits. Elon - you're looking in the wrong place. Private insurers in Medicare Advantage overcharged taxpayers by at least $83 billion in 2024 alone.

3️⃣4️⃣ days. Not a single vote to lower costs. House GOP leadership is playing politics with people’s lives. It’s time to listen to the American people and vote on legislation that makes life more affordable.

Elon Musk has barged into DOL, which also oversees the Bureau of Labor Statistics—that's a huge deal. He could manipulate quarterly job numbers and much more. We are talking about MARKET MOVING INFORMATION! Do employers want Musk to have access to any of their confidential data?

So this is how this DOJ will operate. Actions and beliefs are deemed CRIMINAL if they are not in line with this Administration’s beliefs and platform.There is no criminal penalty for supporting or even continuing to apply DEIA principles.This is a muscle job. Corporations must stiffen their spines.

The changes have come in response to a campaign by conservative activists to target workplace programs in the courts and social media, and more recently, President Donald Trump’s executive orders.

Trump has given Musk and his staff access to computer systems that the senators say contain potentially sensitive medical and financial information about millions of Americans.

They have no problem with DEI when they send military recruiters to minority communities to enlist young people... but the National Society of Black Engineers and the Society of Women Engineers Club is a bridge too far.

Americans are confused, scared and angered by President Trump’s escalating attacks on our independent, professional and dedicated civil service. That's why I convened top federal workforce experts for this emergency webinar sharing crucial information.

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

Hearing reports that Musk’s cronies are targeting NOAA — infiltrating key systems and locking out career employees. NOAA is vital for weather forecasting, scientific research and more. Their critical work saves lives. My team and I are looking into this and we will not stand for it.

Trump’s executive orders also call for a review of American involvement in UNESCO, and a review of U.S. funding for the United Nations.

The State Department is putting “all direct hire personnel” at the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) on administrative leave, except staff responsible for mission-critical functions.

Two federal workers, citing reports that Elon Musk’s associates are operating an illegally connected email server at OPM, seek a restraining order.

The Trump administration is doubling down on its "Fork in the Road" offer to federal employees. Trump has a history of stiffing workers—and there is NO guarantee you will get paid through September 30 as promised.

Fucking finally

The legislation, sponsored by Sen. Ben Brown, R-Washington, lays out a requirement for voters to provide a passport, birth certificate or other means of proving they are citizens when they register.

NEW: DOGE has requested and is being granted “access to all SBA systems,” per an email sent to Small Business Admin employees today. Edward Coristine, a DOGE official, held a call with SBA staff detailing level of access they wanted, including HR, contract and payment systems

Saturday’s crowd at Kiener Plaza sent a message of protest and defiance through a variety of speeches, chants and signage.

The International Institute of St. Louis furloughed staff and paused preparations for its popular annual Festival of Nations because of uncertainty over federal funding under the Trump administration.

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu.

I appreciate the info I'm getting in Shine Bright. I'm having trouble focusing with the tangents.
