Russ Vought set up a CFPB snitch line where you can report any work by the agency still trying to do its job as legally mandated by Congress. It would be a real shame if this was flooded with false tips and wild goose chases... x.com/CFPB_tipline

New — I did a brief history of the ‘Fork in the Road’ email to show how Musk screwed up by treating federal workers like fucking idiots, and how the pressure to resign is about breaking morale more than culling the workforce.

It must feel extraordinarily freeing to have not a single vestigial shred of integrity. Nothing to slow you down or make you flinch or even pause. Just cravenness and ambition with zero wind resistance.

We are living through Republicanism boiled down to its essence: Everyone should be deprived of everything, because otherwise, somebody I don't like might get something I don't want them to have. We call it an ideology, but it's really a personality: Greedy, withholding, suspicious, angry, cruel.

This is grossly irresponsible reporting by the AP. What’s being offered is not a buyout. The deal is if you agree to resign in September you can continue working remotely until then. There is no buyout or severance.

Historians are my favorite people cause they always got a story worth listening to, sometimes past is prologue. Before the 2024 election, I had the incredible opportunity to learn from @kathleenbelew.bsky.social about how white nationalists strategically use misinformation to further their cause.

"There is, unfortunately, no law of nature that says democracy can’t be brought down & wars can’t be started by a bunch of clowns if they have enough support from people, parties, & institutions who enable them. It’s all just a farce – until the goons & buffoons are in power. That’s where we are."

Why this nation isn’t screaming its bloody head off at being duped by a bunch of grifting billionaires operating entirely off the desire to increase their own wealth is baffling to me Where the fuck is the anger? The outrage? Entirely sickened by all of it.
