A teen DOGE staffer recently given access to government systems worked at a startup known for hiring convicted hackers. Someone using a Telegram handle associated with him also solicited a cyberattack-for-hire service in 2022. All raising questions about his vetting. www.wired.com/story/edward...

Pam Bondi is disbanding the Foreign Influence Task Force - the FBI team that is charged with combatting foreign meddling in US elections. Worth asking how this makes us more safe in any way, shape, or form.

Black History Month When the history of American gardening is told, the contributions of Black Americans are often overlooked. Horticulturist and writer Abra Lee raises awareness of the subject through her website, ConquerTheSoil.com. You can also look for Albra's first book “Conquer the Soil”

Stock up now, stand up tomorrow. Grab your rotisserie chickens while you can—Teamsters are gearing up to strike, and that means your favorite grocery runs might look different. Support the workers fighting for fair pay and better conditions. When they walk out, stand with them.

Idea: Post a Black History Fact every day in February to all of your social media sites. I'll go first.

AOC: "I want folks at home to look at what members of Congress are invested in private prisons companies, and look at the votes on this bill. It is atrocious that people are lining their pockets with private prison profits in the name of a horrific tragedy."

HELL YEAH! Congressman Jim McGovern TORE Speaker Mike Johnson a new for saying it wasn’t “his place” to question Trump’s January 6 pardon. “Not your place?? WHO THE HELL’S PLACE IS IT?” He said. “How about you stand with the officers who protected you and not a reality show wannabe dictator.” 💙

If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have profoundly misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.

If it wasn’t a nazi salute then say that, Elon. Say that. Use the social media platform (the media platform you purchased that notoriously harbors nazis) to tell everyone that you didn’t do a nazi salute because you’re not a nazi. Say “I’m not a nazi and it wasn’t a nazi salute.” Say. That.

NEW: Nearly every California Republican in Congress fled the state to Mar-a-Lago as LA continues to burn.
