Yes…weird…

It really is. Again, no shame, just no shame at all.

Call the US government today, flood the lines and apply maximum pressure. Demand they do their jobs, arrest Musk, and impeach Trump. 5 minutes, 5 calls, repeat. #3E

not flipping the script or rewriting -- he is LYING. Do better www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/u...

“The people who represent the nation that has committed these war crimes are sitting across the table from Rubio with the hope of relief from devastating sanctions and an end to a conflict they started, all the while continuing to inflict suffering on Ukraine.” www.thebulwark.com/p/we-are-neg...

Former Vice President Mike Pence denounced Donald Trump over his biggest, most flagrant lie of late — the infuriating claim that Ukraine started the war with Russia. Pence reappeared to slam Trump’s Putin-inspired lie. Posting the indisputable truth on X, Pence emphasized his…

This is true. @bsky.app is the app of the people. We may not all agree. We may not even all like each other. But we can engage and disagree and agree with our hate That makes the platform the future of social media

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

"What can Democrats do? Well, here’s something they can do—if, like @aoc.bsky.social, they’ve got the stomach for it. They can step forward and spit in the eye of the authoritarian bullies, not because the bullies won’t retaliate, but because they know they will." www.thebulwark.com/p/staying-pa...

Everytime you read one of these stories--and they've become daily now--remember that there are some functions that are just as critical but don't make obvious headlines. Nukes! Bird Flu! ATCs! But food inspectors are probably the same--and they're not being recalled. and so on.

This is getting ridiculous. Could it be that moving fast and breaking things isn’t an ideal strategy here? Fire everyone, then see what happens?

In devastating but expected news: Legal service providers nationwide were instructed by the Trump admin today to stop work on the Office of Refugee Resettlement's unaccompanied child legal services program. This means that every migrant child in federal custody will be without legal information.

“There are currently four people remaining over there to do the work of 15 people. The danger to the national airspace can’t be understated." "This is a very real threat to the American flying public.” EXCLUSIVE ⤵️

Yep, DOGE is as incompetent as everyone thought. An $8 million "saving" has been listed as an $8 BILLION saving. That is 14.5% of their total claimed $55 billion in "savings" having been completely made up.

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

Yes! Taking those Ws wherever we can…

Happening now: it's 1°F outside in Chicago—a literal frozen hellscape. Furious EPA workers with AFGE Local 704 are rallying against the Trump/Musk evisceration of the federal workforce targeting new hires. Recently fired employees include those responsible for monitoring air & water quality.

Another way this feels similar to COVID — the disaster is already unfolding but the people in charge seem to think it’ll only impact “blue” areas.

Feels like I'm missing something. Even setting aside the clear corruption and conflict of interest, why would SpaceX know how to "overhaul air traffic control"? Is the knowledge required to launch a rocket every few months really transferable to managing 7,500 planes in the air?

The thing about super rich people is that they famously don’t care about money, excellent point

I am not making this up: Republicans have introduced legislation… to increase your bank fees.

Yes, @aoc.bsky.social! Bring it.

Bright passionate people who wanted to dedicate their lives to public service were fired in a mass email over the holiday weekend. This has absolutely nothing to do with efficiency, fraud, waste, or abuse. And your life will be worse because of it.

Abso-F-ing-lutely!

another W for the resistance libs

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

MAGA MELTDOWN!!!!!!!

Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post didn’t want you to see our ad questioning who’s in charge at the White House. We won't stop holding power accountable. thehill.com/media/514849...

Kinda weird that SecDef is announcing to the world that he has tax problems. Totally normal to blame Biden for your failure to pay taxes

"The White House is nearly done putting its pieces in place. Senate Republicans are waving through nominee after ludicrous nominee. The DOGE boys are worming their way into agency after agency...Trump’s post feels like a thesis statement for what comes next." www.thebulwark.com/p/breaking-t...

In the coming weeks, a lot of slow-on-the uptake folks are going to begin belatedly realizing Trump is both an inept moron and a dangerous autocrat. Our great civic challenge in these trying times will be calmly welcoming them aboard instead of primal-screaming in their faces.

Just so blatantly corrupt. Looking for savings by cutting PBS and public health research, while lining his pockets with taxpayer cash.

What is the justification? What is the point of this other than to give the appearance of. Ring a super villain?
