French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

This list is so long and taking up so much real estate in his speech it’s almost like they want to distract from their massive cuts to Medicaid

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

All probationary federal employees at NOAA’s EMC that’s responsible for keeping all US weather model systems running have been fired with 1 hours notice. And that includes me and colleagues. We will not go quietly because we care about the NOAA mission to protect the public.

This whole country wants bad things for others more than they want good things for themselves.

Ready Fire Aim is a lousy way to govern.

This is a huge victory for federal workers. Unions get it done! www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

MSNBC just fired Rachel Maddow's show production crew. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

well, that's enough NBC/MSNBC for me

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

At the direction of RFK Jr., America’s newly confirmed secretary of Health and Human Services, the CDC has suddenly fired nearly 1,300 employees in a single day. 10% of America’s vital team of health experts — considered global leaders in disease control — have been axed. Although HHS…

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Your daughter has died serving her country, and now you have to hide her identity because the President and his supporters will predictably scapegoat her for the accident.

“The Democrats didn’t do enough on Gaza, so I withheld my vote to make a statement.” “Well, Trump won and now he’s gonna destroy Gaza.” “Yep. We’re paying the price for the Democrats’ incompetence.” “‘We?’ The Gazans are paying the price, not us” Pause. “I needed to make a statement.”

The reality is that these positions are more important than Sec of Defense because they will do all the work and define all strategies. He won't freelance decisions. @schumer.senate.gov @sanders.senate.gov @fetterman.senate.gov What do you have planned ?

The acting director of the Office of Personnel Management (the feds' H.R. department) is telling federal employees to rat out their DEIA (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility) colleagues by emailing "[email protected]." chcoc.gov/sites/defaul...

ICE isn’t allowed to enter a school without a warrant or a recognized exception to a warrant.

You can't unfuck that chicken, bastards.

This map shows how much NIH funding goes to your state. I used the info on my state when I called officials to ask them to push back against the freeze. And if I can do it when my senators are Katie Britt and Tommy Tuberville...well, I mean... www.unitedformedicalresearch.org/nih-in-your-...

“I had a feeling that there were people watching what was happening and wondering, Was anyone going to say anything?” Bishop Mariann Budde explained. “Was anyone going to say anything about the turn the country’s taking?” So, she took a breath, and spoke. nyti.ms/3WtmNY2

CARTOON OF THE DAY

Great interview here of Bishop Budde by the wonderful @erinburnett.bsky.social 👉 youtube.com/watch?v=2BMZ...

They…turned off…National Institutes of Health grants? That’s nearly $50 billion of scientific research.

What PowerSchool isn’t saying about its ‘massive’ student data breach

Brittany Watts, who was arrested and charged with ‘abuse of a corpse’ after miscarrying at home, has filed a suit against the city of Warren, Ohio, accusing her nurses of conspiring with police to fabricate evidence against her.

@governor.ca.gov just launched a new site to ensure the public has access to fact-based data around the Southern California wildfires. Get the facts: californiafirefacts.com

My message to Zuck

This man and a small group of capitol police officers singlehandedly saved our democracy four years ago. In November, 77 million Americans said "to hell with them" and voted for the insurrectionists. Your "Back the Blue" flags are a pathetic disgrace and your patriotism is bullsh*t.

x X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m. Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app? If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

This is something

I will post this everyday for the next 4 years as a reminder that Jan 6th was a day of insurrection.

I do not have any coping mechanisms for the next four years. I am all tapped out.

The New York City authorities were trying early Tuesday morning to fix a major water main break in the Bronx that submerged cars and forced roads to close.

NEW: After reviewing leaked documents, we have found UnitedHealth is strategically limiting access to a treatment for thousands of children with autism across the country in order to cut costs. Advocates say the company’s strategy may be illegal. www.propublica.org/article/unit... 👇

It was always bullshit.

I’m going to say something bold here and publicly state that “murder is not the way to solve national problems” but suffering from chronic debilitating pain seems to be a much more logical reason for someone to go apeshit than women being in Star Wars

Luigi got them shook.
