Brian Krebs isn’t always right. But when he is…….

Literally for starving children. Starving.

Updating our NOAA story. At least 880 fired Thurs. as tornado season ramps up next week across parts of Texas, and the South. The story with colleagues @bloomberg.com colleagues: @laurenthal.bsky.social @arinatter.bsky.social www.bloomberg.com/news/article... #weather #climate #doge

Okay... we feel like we say this every week but *a lot* of stuff happened. Let's break it down, starting with @brbarrett.bsky.social on why the DOGE takeover is worse than you think... (sorry, but you gotta read this one.)

NEW — House Republicans are putting the brakes on town halls after blowback over the Trump administration's cuts. One GOP aide said House Republican leaders are urging lawmakers to stop engaging in them altogether. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

I don't think these guys are playing on our team.

TRUMP: The NCAA has complied immediately. That's good. But I understand Maine -- is the governor of Maine here? JANET MILLS: Yeah I'm here TRUMP: Are you not gonna comply? JM: I'm going to comply with state and federal law T: You better do it bc you're not gonna get any federal funding at all

Here's video of Steve Bannon doing a Sieg Heil today at CPAC. It is what it is and it's what Bannon intended. Don't let yourself be gaslit.

Canada: "They get 95% of their product from the United States, so I think they have to become the 51st state. You heard the people booing the national anthem, but I think ultimately they'll be praising the national anthem ... I call him Governor Trudeau ... we're looking at Greenland."

SCOOP: The director of data science and engineering for the United States Digital Service—which Elon Musk rebranded as the US DOGE Service—has resigned from her position. “I do not believe that DOGE can continue to deliver the work of USDS, based on their actions so far,” she said.

Dark Pence is back.

Congrats, America. We're now on Putin's side.

In the past week, we had Hegseth giving away key concessions before talks even began, Rubio in Saudi Arabia negotiating with Russia without Ukraine at the table, and Trump blaming Ukraine for Russia’s invasion. Putin couldn’t have written this pro-Russia script better himself.

If anything bad happens to Zelenskyy, the US enabled it Screenshot this, and remember it

Trump official announces that Trump has signed an executive order claiming that only the president can speak for “what the law is” (This is not how the Constitution works)

JUST IN: USDA says it accidentally fired several officials working on bird flu. "We are working to swiftly rectify the situation and rescind those letters," a spokesperson says.

Repulsive

BREAKING

Elon is praising the Russian foreign minister. He's a traitor to this country.

CISA – a federal agency that helps secure elections from foreign threats and disinformation – has placed its employees on administrative leave. The move puts the security and integrity of elections in the U.S. at risk.

Termination notices going out this afternoon to more than 300 employees of the National Cancer Institute. Access likely ends today. Four weeks paid leave and that’s it. Strong power move for Team Cancer.

This entire thing is almost comically corrupt

"This is the courage required of people who serve at the Justice Dept."

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is urging parliament to declare a state of emergency citing “the events of the last 24 hours and statements from the U.S. government” on Ukraine. Translated video 👇

Really strange watching the American government become hostile to Canada, western Europe, and Mexico in order to cozy up to the dictatorships of eastern Europe. Do Americans even know this is happening? Do they have any idea what this means for their lives?

REPORTER: Are you policing yourself for conflicts of interest? What are the checks and balances? MUSK: We post our actions to the DOGE handle on X

Cybersecurity experts warned of a hack in swing states for the 2024 election, a forensic audit should have been conducted to either prove or disprove their findings. Now this... The US cyber agency puts election security staffers who worked with the states on leave. abcnews.go.com/Politics/wir...

He accused the agency of engaging in “lawfare” and threatened to sue it for “regulatory overreach.”

US President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing the Justice Department to pause prosecutions of Americans accused of bribing foreign government officials while trying to win or retain business in their countries reut.rs/4jVNpuP

President Trump is removing the head of the Office of Government Ethics — his administration's latest action against a government watchdog.

Those bonehead Republicans managed to convince their base that trans women in sports was a huge issue—without showing a damn shred of data. They never drop facts because that would wreck their narrative. Look at these numbers… Less than 10 trans athletes out of 510,000 NCAA athletes nationwide.

truly one of the most incredible things in all of human history. we founds ways to literally defeat communicable deadly diseases at almost no cost and at no harm to ourselves. and grifters are working to undermine that and get people killed.

Here's the WIRED piece from 1AM, reporting that -- contrary to White House claims -- a 25-year-old Musk lackey has obtained direct access to Treasury Department systems responsible for nearly all payments made by the US government: www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Wired has been doing a very good job, focusing on and exposing things that matter, rather than fixating on reality TV-like drama, or worse, sanewashing the crazy.

It’s pretty amazing that these guys are going with “Covid, which wasn’t a big deal, is the worlds greatest bio weapon, that we shouldn’t have cancelled school for a semester for, but also China did almost destroy the world, but don’t forget it’s also just the flu”

Ffs

Elon Musk's friends have infiltrated another government agency: the General Services Administration. His former employees are trying to use White House credentials to access GSA's tech, giving them the potential to remote into laptops, read emails, and more:

🛑CANCELLED—“Research on Women’s Health” funding website of the NIH.

🪓MASS DELETION UPDATE—More than 1,000 pages are now deleted from websites of CDC, National Institutes of Health, and other sites of the Department of Health and Human Services, according to a new WSJ analysis—including many **vaccine recommendation** scientific pages!

Key information and datasets have vanished from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s websites, alarming epidemiologists, other scientists and concerned American citizens.

Trump has rescinded a Biden executive order calling for the development of policies to lower drug costs for people in Medicare and Medicaid.

Absolutely historic footage from #Aleppo tonight. Rebel forces reached the statue of Bashar's deceased brother Bassel al-Assad at the eastern edge of the New Aleppo district, taking down the regime flag. #Syria.
