It wasn't "debunked" it was fraudulent from the get go. It wasn't a well meaning person saying, "wear copper for your aching joints", it was a cynical attempt to make money with intentional lies.

none of these people have any concept of duty or decorum or service, all of them are absolute rat bastards who are unqualified to hold any job and should be ejected from any group of respectable americans.

Deep breathe. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

*bangs head on desk* As someone who spent decades talking about the risks and problems with old electronic voting systems, and who has seen bad systems replaced with much better systems, this is particularly stupid.

I’m not in a good way this week. Everything just bothers me now. Even things I love are getting on my nerves lately.

Not good news, but needs to be said: Hamas claimed that Israel killed the Bibas children and their mother in an airstrike. Forensic examination of the corpses reveals the kids were murdered and that Hamas didn't even send back the mother, but a random body. Depravity piled upon lies.

Again I am begging people in the media to note the legality of these actions in their headlines or blurbs. A post office is literally written into the constitution.

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

If you are a federal employee in one of our scientific agencies who has been fired, please consider filling out this form. The House GOP may not give a damn about the the Enlightenment, objective truth or the Constitution but we do. democrats-science.house.gov/sciencefirings

Unfortunately firings have continued at the National Nuclear Safety Administration. I’ve been contacted by an NNSA worker who was fired, then told her termination was paused, then told she was fired again. She says there were numerous others at NNSA treated the same way. These people keep us safe.

This isn't a bad article but it remains insane to me that these kinds of enormous, embarassing failures are generally not presented as a conventional, massive scandal. I get that republicans haven't granted license for that kind of treatment but still

The Republic Endures

i agree that this is a great idea, but i will note that there is a congressional aide here on bluesky who has been doing exactly this and who has explained that the number of people he has talked to who are willing to go public is basically zero.

Elon Musk is invading YOUR private data through the IRS, and Republicans are staying silent. An unelected billionaire should NOT be allowed to access YOUR private data. Congress must act to stop him—and all Democrats need is 3 House Republicans to join us.

It's Munich 2.0. And Peter Baker, like the rest of the NYT, worked for years to rehabilitate and normalize Trump, and to conceal or dismiss his open vows to do exactly what he's now doing, to help get him the power he now has.

Reminder that Trump was the one who actually raided the FEMA disaster relief fund to detain immigrants.

I understand why these stories exist but it’s important to be clear that he’s not “saving” 16 billion, he’s choosing, personally, without oversight, to wipe out 16 billion dollars of government services to veterans and the disabled and food safety etc etc

Now that musk is saying he’s doing the DOGE stuff “because the globalists have plotted a Great Replacement in which they use government handouts to buy votes from illegal immigrants and urban blacks” maybe we don’t have to act like this is about deficits or cost cutting anymore

The Trump HHS is breaking the sacred promise to always stand by our 9/11 heroes by slashing funding and vital staffing for their healthcare in the World Trade Center Health Program. It’s unacceptable.

I have been getting a surprising number of questions about CIA's low-confidence announcement that they believe SARS-CoV-2 came from a lab. A few comments in 🧵, but to summarize: 1️⃣ No new intelligence 2️⃣ No new report 3️⃣ No evidence exist to support SARS-CoV-2 came from lab 4️⃣ Usual nonsense More 👇
