I'm dumb. I can't figure out how to end world hunger. But I do promise that I will continue to change healthcare in this country and make it more affordable, possibly setting a path towards Universal Healthcare.

Powerful. Tomorrow’s front page of the most influential weekly publication in Germany. “BETRAYED. First Zelensky, Soon Us? The radical departure of the US from its allies.”

Todays hero

Here's video of Steve Bannon doing a Sieg Heil today at CPAC. It is what it is and it's what Bannon intended. Don't let yourself be gaslit.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

📰🇬🇧 Daily Star front page: "Putin’s Poodle" 🐩

Another "conservative."

@stephenking.bsky.social I don’t know if you’ll read this but I wanted to share the story of how you saved my life. It was May 9, 1994. I was at home with my dad, who had been diagnosed with lung cancer a month earlier. The strong and imposing man had been replaced by a skeleton with my dads face

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

“For his part, Musk claims that he purchased Trump outright by spending nearly $300 million on his 2024 campaign.” - @borowitzreport.bsky.social

JUST IN: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has fired at least 20 employees who were involved in reviewing Elon Musk's brain implant company, Neuralink. -CNBC

This is what our Transportation Secretary was doing yesterday as planes are crashing on a near-daily basis. I cannot remember a more dangerous time to fly and yet this reality TV actor-turned-Cabinet Secretary is busy watching cars drive laps at the Daytona 500.

A Delta flight carrying ~80 passengers from Minnesota appears to have crash landed at Toronto Pearson Airport. No casualties reported as of this time. Numerous photos and videos have been released showing passengers safely exiting the plane, which flipped upside down. At least 8 people injured.

Money talks

The US Embassy in Mexico shared the White House post for Valentine's Day. It added: "Love knows no borders, but the U.S. does." Hashtag donteventry So much for diplomacy.

They won’t ever learn will they

ICYMI. This Brian Tyler Cohen interview with Rep. Jamie Raskin is a must.👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtzT...

From an FDA probationary employee: the firings are coming from outside the agency without cause and with zero input from supervisors (as promised.) More firings expected between now and Tuesday. Do not open the termination email before you download your documents and performance evals.

CISA – a federal agency that helps secure elections from foreign threats and disinformation – has placed its employees on administrative leave. The move puts the security and integrity of elections in the U.S. at risk.

Even worse incompetence: they accidentally fired, then apparently today un-fired, hundreds of the people who manage America's nuclear weapons.

This is what the US embassy in Mexico posted today. I wonder if they're ordered to repost what the White House posted.

Every day they claim they're finding vast amounts of fraud in the federal government. Fraud is a crime. They've made zero criminal complaints. Odd.

Ted Corbitt, AKA The Father of Long Distance Running. He was the first African American runner to compete in the Olympic marathon. A New York legend, he founded the New York Road Runners, and blazed the trail for so many athletes that came after him.

ATTN HHS EMPLOYEES: Firing notices are going out. I am in receipt of an email saying they will revoke your access as soon as you read the email that you've been fired. Please download everything you need before you open that email. SHARE FAR & WIDE. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/attn-hhs-e...

Looks like Elon Musk is turning the Cybertruck into the ultimate budget-friendly defense vehicle. Who knew cutting government spending involved investing in armored sci-fi pickups? At least they'll be well-prepared for a Mad Max sequel!
