Where we are now. www.wired.com/story/lenaca...

The week in review:

Francis Fukuyama ~ “The United States under Donald Trump is not retreating into isolationism. It is actively joining the authoritarian camp, supporting right-wing authoritarians around the world.”

Our latest: The Resistance is alive and well and angry. Please consider reading and sharing. No paywall.

A new website created by about a dozen federal employees, called “We the Builders,” aims to be a secure outlet for government workers to share stories about how their workplaces are being impacted by DOGE, and a place to explain the real-world impact of its access to government tech systems.

This is what happens when your efficiency team is computer programmers and private venture guys and not formerly trained AUDITORS.

People experiencing pregnancy loss in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves. We created this guide for anyone who finds themselves in the same position.

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

Dear business owners that voted for Trump, You could have had $50K in capital and a robust SBA. Instead, DOGE is cancelling all your government contracts and putting you out of business so he can have the contracts for himself.

My best investment advice

Three updates: 1. The Justice Department has deleted a database tracking federal police misconduct. The database was first proposed in 2020 following the police killing of George Floyd.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Well said.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not a dictator. He is a champion of democracy, freedom and truth.

Ruhle: The left-leaning podcast MeidasTouch has just done the unthinkable—dethroned Joe Rogan to become the country’s most popular podcast…

Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post would not run this ad. This is the power of oligarchy.

Old friend just laid off by USDA, 1 mos short of his probationary period as senior researcher. Brilliant person who left a tenured faculty position several yrs ago to join USDA. Bright early-career researchers also being laid off. USDA is terminating a generation of highly-qualified scientists.

Dress-up clothes for date Dad's overcoat fits just right My baby grown up #DailyHaikuPrompt

Here is the ad the Washington Post refused to run about Elon Musk this weekend. And here is the ad the Post was happy to run by a rightwing group funded by Musk that smeared me in October. I started Democracy Docket to be fiercely independent and prodemocracy. Check it out. www.democracydocket.com

True words.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

As a CPA with over 20 years of experience and a former President of a state CPA society. DOGE is not auditing. They are just lying and doing the Silicon Valley "move fast and break things".

Grove of apple trees Dance in the wind like zombies Rooted firmly down #DailyHaikuPrompt

Knowledge is power…

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

“We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American eagle in order to feather their own nests.” -FDR, 1941

Man's construct of time Recognizing Earth's movements Day captures stories #DailyHaikuPrompt

Just looking at the events of *this one day* compels the conclusion that the United States Government is being run by morons, psychos, invertebrates, and crooks.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

The source code for the new Department for Government Efficiency’s “official US government website” points to X as its primary source of authority while sharing links to the site sends users to x.com.

Tranquil state of mind Requiring focused practice Ooh, pretty colors #DailyHaikuPrompt

The 🤡🤡🤡 Show continues...

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum urged Google to reconsider its decision to rename the Gulf of Mexico the 'Gulf of America' for US users, adding the country could file a civil suit against the firm if necessary reut.rs/4hR5Bnu

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

The European Parliament voted on a resolution on the situation in Georgia. They refuse to recognize the legitimacy of the appointed “president” and continue to recognize President Salome Zourabichvili as the only legitimate representative. Will issue individual sanctions on rights violators.

It’s been called the Gulf of Mexico for 425 years. Thanks Britannica!

Close friends are priceless Celebrate, console, just be Mended heart and soul #DailyHaikuPrompt

Best thing I’ve read today 😂😂😂

The move puts the security and integrity of elections in the U.S. — especially at the state level, where local election officials rely on CISA resources to securely run elections — at risk. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Blackbirds are not crows News to an American Smaller pie pan works #DailyHaikuPrompt

Oh. Would be a shame if everyone shared this everywhere while trump and Eric Adams try to work out a deal.
