SCOOP: New Social Security chief was being investigated for leaking data to DOGE when Musk team tapped him. Sr officials placed him on paid leave while probing whether he may have violated privacy & tax laws, WaPo's Lisa Rein reports. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Firing all of the JAGs (Judge Advocates General)—the top lawyers in each service branch—is just as bad as, if not worse than, firing (most of) the Joint Chiefs.

The 4th most-prescribed medication in America is levothyroxine, a synthetic hormone replacement for thyroid hormone. Yes, HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY. It's not the type those guys are talking about, but since when have they cared about innocent bystanders?

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.

DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS: there have been times when you controlled the House & Senate, yet Republicans still found ways to block your legislation. DO THAT TO THEM! And—since the GOP won’t hold hearings, go home to your districts & hold mock hearings yourselves. Let the people see what’s really up!

I confess I'm really annoyed at how often I get text messages with links and other information which I need to have on my computer. Please stop pretending that we can or should do all our typing with our thumbs, thank you. My computer has a KEYBOARD. It's great for writing stuff.

It's a Friday. This is when the rightwing people, knowing what they're doing is evil and wrong, do their worst shit in order to hide from the news cycle. Buckle up.

When protestors uttered the slogan “defund the police” the national media had a massive freak out. But now that Trump wants to actually gut the FBI and (it would seem) illegally fire 1000s of people who work there, the same media sees it as a curiosity, a dull bureaucratic matter.

I posted this last night unsure how things would go. My DMs are open if you need more information and would like to help with rehoming them. I feel horrible writing this, but I know it's for the best. I am sick and need to get them situated before I can fully focus on the battle ahead. #caturday

I just got a response letter from my Congressional rep, to my letter about Musk. It's a form letter, but generally addresses my sentiments. One thing I note is that he refers to "Co-Presidents Musk and Trump".

Leopards eating faces and all that. Look, there is nothing you can ever do to protect yourself from the fascists you put in power. They *need* to hurt people, and you WILL be on the menu at some point.

Exclusive: Federal workers have filed an emergency motion requesting a restraining order to disconnect the DOGE server that's being used to conduct Trump's "deferred resignation program." The workers had previously accused DOGE of illegally bypassing a mandated privacy audit. By me at @wired.com:

Everything special about Elon Musk came out of a bank account.

Make no mistake: this is a coup. An unelected, unapproved individual has taken control of the Federal workforce. In a sane and just world, Elon would be arrested now and Trump impeached and removed. www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...

He doesn't. This is illegal. It should get him arrested and Trump impeached. And I'm certain there's a reason he did it on a Friday afternoon.

Please, PLEASE call your senators and urge them to oppose RFK Jr.'s nomination. You may think public health doesn't impact you (which would be impressive five years into a global pandemic), but it does, and people will die if he's confirmed.

My one aunt, the Trumpist, likes to claim she's a good person because she volunteers with Meals on Wheels. I've long since stopped talking to her, but it's darkly funny to know she voted against her own last shred of decency.

Is anyone else vaguely suspecting that DeepSeek is actually smoke & mirrors, but it can tank the AI market because everyone else is just slightly-more-plausible smoke & mirrors?

Some of the MAGA claims just show how much they're infected with troll-brain: "You're being upset about the terrible things we're threatening to do, that's the win! You fools need to be calm about your impending oppression and death!"

In an amusing turn of events, while I am currently explicitly forbidden from eating beans and soy for medical reasons, b/c I am allergic to soy I have a soy-free shoyu which I *can* use.

"the sin of empathy" These people are broken on every level, including a species one. Giving a damn about each other is what transformed our prehistoric ancestors from living in herds to living in troops. To be anti-empathy is to be anti-human.

I confess to a modest annoyance with companies who use 3rd party shipping. I know it's the sensible thing, but darn it when I see I'm getting a package from Auctane shipping or Stamps Etc, I have no idea where it's coming from.

The thing which Old Twitter and to some extent even Facebook offered, was the ability to speak truth to the powerful. You could shame a big company into doing the right thing. I think it's no coincidence that's impossible with the current social media landscape.

Currently going into week 4 of having a sinus infection. The prospect of buying tickets for a conference does NOT appeal. Rationally I know I'll be past this by then, but it just doesn't sound good at all.

You ever notice that pro-Trump news always comes on Fridays? Even Trumpists know they're the bad guys and are trying to hide in shame.

Spouse asked me about BlueSky today, wanted to know what it was like. Best answer I could come up with was "It's like pre-Musk Twitter but everyone is trans, queer, or furry."

Spouse: You must be feeling better. Me: That's true, but why do you say that? S: When you woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't get back to sleep you made biscuits instead of sitting in the recliner trying to breathe. M: Okay, fair. S: When you're bored you make carbs.

In Georgia, a mom facing eviction reached out to DFCS for help. They offered her nothing. Soon the agency took her kids away because of "inadequate housing." The state then paid *$6,200 a month* to house her kids in foster care. One of the most important and infuriating stories I read this year:
