Sounds... efficient? "There are no more civil servants now than there were in the late 1960s, even as the population they serve has grown by two-thirds." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Viewer feedback tonight came in the form of a letter from a federal employee in Colorado...

The NTSB says it will no longer email news outlets or reporters with notifications of upcoming press conferences, including those on plane crashes in Washington and Philadelphia. Instead, all notifications will be made on X. We're filing a FOIA to find out more about the change in policy.

1. Create Bluesky bots to ping and repost information from government accounts. 2. Aggregate those bots into a starter pack. 3. Create a more useful collection of government information without rewarding Musk.

“Many of those interviewed broke down in tears as they described the rapid destruction of decades of work.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/h...

At löst one government agency is still working

Because they are evil, we must stand up to them. But because they are also stupid, we needn’t be afraid to.

It’s almost like we warned he was a fascist with authoritarian tendencies and were called hysterical by the media.

Boy, these last eight days feel like a good reminder why democracies generally avoid letting people who attempt a coup come back to power….

If Lisa Murkowski can say no to Hegseth what is wrong with Joni Ernst??

Fox News and Republicans are attacking a so-called bishop for having the gall to ask Trump to "have mercy," calling her "Satan" and "evil." Wait until they find out the insidious liberal stuff I learned about her pal, Jesus. IT. WILL. SHOCK. YOU. www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

If a plea for kindness and empathy makes you furious, you might be a sociopath.

“If anyone in the Senate GOP votes against confirming Pete Hegseth after his stellar performance today, there will be a primary challenge waiting for you,” wrote Trump ally Charlie Kirk “You can take that to the bank.” Jodi Ernst's pivotal support for Hegseth had everything to do with this threat.

Disgusting facts...

Pete Hegseth says he's a changed man from the time of the sexual assault accusation that was just a smear, so it didn't happen but he promises he's not like that anymore. Gotcha.

I don’t think Donald Trump saw this movie, unfortunately. It is widely known that tariffs do not work, yet he is insisting that tariffs be imposed once he becomes president. It will be a disaster.

"California paid in a lot more [to the federal government] than it got back — $83 billion in total. So did Washington state and much of the Northeast. Most red states were in the reverse position, getting much more from DC than they paid in return."

They need to raise the debt ceiling to pass their massive tax cut for the super wealthy. So the message is: we will only rebuild California if our billionaire and corporate friends get their money. Unreal.

The absolute truth!👇

Hello, my name is Rex and I’ll be your same-washing translator this evening: “Unhinged dingus who doesn’t know jack about jack repeats some random bullshit he was once told by another unhinged dingus in moment that should have been ignored.”

Dear World, We’re sorry. Sincerely, Sane, Decent Americans

COMMENTARY: The most chilling justification for the Jan 6 attack on American democracy is actually a warning about the next one. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRFL...

I don't where this all ends up, but I don't think a democracy in which only one of the two major parties is committed to peaceful transition of power is particularly sustainable!

To my fellow liberals: Guys, what the heck? It’s Jan. 6, I was at the U.S. Capitol, totally fired up to do a coup with you all, and nobody else showed up. Did I miss a memo or something? www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

On Jan 20, 2025, I’ll be celebrating the life of President Jimmy Carter all day.

They figured it out.

As we are viewed from our neighbors to the North:

There we go. Supreme Court justices get a free pass on outrageous and unethical conduct, without even basic fact-finding, but a judge who calls out the misconduct gets criticized. What a world.
