Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

So basically presenting Ukraine with a choice: insolvency or occupation.

“A WaPo analysis of the data found that many of the canceled contracts were already complete, meaning canceling them didn’t yield any money back because they had been fully paid out — and indeed, 417 of the deals on DOGE’s list indicate that they saved $0.” www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

On Feb 15, a critical line of defense was eliminated: the CDC's Laboratory Leadership Service (LLS). This program trained highly skilled scientists to be "disease detectives," deploying them to respond to public health threats & test for everything from viruses to toxins. www.cdc.gov/lls/php/our-...

🚨 I'm sure it'll come as a shock to everyone that no, the CDC.gov website has NOT restored all of the pages which were deleted as per the federal judge's order. While it's possible that *some* pages have been restored, a quick check makes it clear that at least some absolutely haven't been yet. 1/

Donald Trump promised to lower costs, in his own words, “on day one.” Now, Trump and Elon Musk are gutting the consumer agency, which will increase costs on working people. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

BREAKING: France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain & UK sign a joint statement vowing to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty & demanding a role in the peace talks. This is leadership. It’s also unprecedented. A western alliance is having to form against a new, twin & united threat: Trump & Putin.

Breaking News: A judge declared for the first time that the Trump White House had defied a judicial mandate by ignoring his order to release billions in grants.

A reminder Ongoing outbreaks the US is navigating blindly with a pause on CDC communications: Pertussis everywhere TB in Kansas Measles in Texas, Georgia and soon in New Mexico? H5N1 everywhere Seasonal flu, RSV, COVID Norovirus Internationally, outbreaks of Ebola, Mpox & Marburg

Elizabeth Warren: Not one Democrat voted for Elon Musk. Not one Republican voted for Elon Musk. Not one Independent voted for Elon Musk. Not one Libertarian voted for Elon Musk. Damn, not one vegetarian voted for Elon Musk.

Rep. Ayanna Pressley: Hands off our bodies. Hands off our data. Hands off our tax refunds. Hands off our Social Security checks. Hands off our Constitution. Hands off our democracy.

Felon Trump has muzzled CDC. This is a huge deal impacting Americans like you and me. We must stop his craziness! www.cnn.com/2025/02/02/h...

OMG, Doge's take-over team is mostly a bunch of male twenty-somethings, even bringing in their own sofa beds to the offices. Sounds like a dark comedy scenario in real time. Would be too crazy to believe if we weren't living in this fascist age.

I want to spell out the basic reason it’s so dangerous for Elon to have control of the U.S. payments system. It may seem like a technical matter, but the dynamics are simple. 1/x

You're not overwhelmed. You're under attack.

USAID.gov is down. Why is this concerning? Trump has no legal authority to eliminate a congressionally funded independent agency. The work of USAID is vital, and if this can happen to them, it can happen to any of us.

At OPM, Musk’s staffers won’t leave—they work around the clock and have even installed sofa beds in the office. Our access to data systems has been restricted, raising serious concerns about cybersecurity and a complete lack of oversight. We are keeping our heads down and documenting everything.

This is great, but the Internet Archive is also on the verge of being put out of business by publisher lawsuits.
