debate on this platform works far better if you allow replies to your tweets. I would have QT’d you to let you know but you seem to have accidentally turned that off as well. let me know if you need someone to walk you through how those settings work?

NEW: The Energy Department tried to spin its DOGE-directed firing of nuclear-safety officials as affecting just non-critical staff. But this wasn’t close to true. In fact, one of the officials locked out of his work accounts was the top authority for all nuclear-safety matters in the agency.

Trump rode to political prominence on birtherism and spent the last month of his campaign claiming that Haitians were eating cats. The rise of authoritarianism in America must be understood as a misinformation crisis.

Major news! A court in Montana has just declared SB458, a bill that "defines sex" in a way that ends the legal recognition of transgender people in Montana, as facially unconstitutional. This is the first time a bill defining sex has been ruled on! Huge win for trans people in MT!

The news is relentlessly grim but last night I helped rig a tifo in the cold with around 45 of my fellow Austin FC sickos for our opening match Saturday and it was both fun and made me feel more hopeful. Note to self and to everyone else: Don’t isolate. Working with each other, we’ll overcome. 💚🖤

President Donald Trump and Elon Musk have repeatedly affirmed Musk’s leadership of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency. But according to a new court filing from the White House, the administrator of DOGE isn’t Elon Musk after all. Who is? No one knows.
