Happening now: protesters are outside the Fine Arts Building on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago this evening. People are in line to see House of Reps Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries for an event tonight promoting his recently released book. Crowd chanting at them, "we don't need a book tour!"

Wrote about how easy it is to claim you saved taxpayers billions when you just make shit up. But also how this is the Twitter Files all over again. The dumbest people don't know what they're looking at so it must be a conspiracy www.techdirt.com/2025/02/19/i...

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

History: “Eventually the incompetent fascists invariably lose power and then society recovers in a new and stronger way” Me: “Oh, cool, so what has to happen for the spell to be broken??” History: “mmmm…well, that part is less encouraging.”

"It wasn’t that he didn’t understand me; it was that he didn’t want to. Invincible ignorance. Walking back to the office I was amused that someone so daft could have ascended to such an august post at a prestigious think tank. The amusement did not last."

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Let me speak to the DOGE audit language. Many people who work in both the Treasury and specifically the IRS are CPAs. Most audit firms hire CPAs. A 19yo coder has absolutely no idea how to accurately identify waste or fraud. Calling what DOGE is doing as a audit, is a flat out lie.

Measles high infection rate is the reason we have not yet been able to eradicate it. That rate means you need a very high vaccination rate to prevent outbreaks. It is possible, but not with current levels of institutional distrust.

LOL, there's a bill to massively overhaul Delaware corporate law to screw over shareholders when directors & officers enter into dubious and conflicted transactions to enrich themselves. Like Musk did with Tesla. People who claim to love the free market should be appalled but they'll cheer for it.

💰CHARTS: Since Reagan, the rich have gotten much richer (especially white folks) Now Republicans want to cut programs for the poor and let people at the top keep even more. A redistribution of wealth has been going from bottom to top for decades. www.cbpp.org/research/pov...

this, from the Louisiana attorney general, is just a lie. No law requires Hochul to turn over someone who isn’t a fugitive and who didn’t commit a crime under NY law. In fact, Hochul would herself be breaking NY abortion and extradition laws if she did so. lailluminator.com/2025/02/12/e...

Our unfathomably ignorant president is just spouting Russian propaganda and lies on national television. He continues to be an international embarrassment. The war started because Russia invaded Ukraine, destroyed their cities, and slaughtered, raped, and kidnapped Ukrainians. A pattern of theirs.
