In 2010, the Supreme Court paved the way for unlimited spending in U.S. elections. In a possibly related story, the richest man in the world is basically the president now ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

Impacts of the USAID Stop Work Orders A 2024 study looked into the impact of U.S. foreign aid. Every dollar spent on aid returns an average of $8 in exports. It benefits people in the US before delivery and in the development phase when countries strike up partnerships.

No, the mail is not “the least of our worries.” It’s a fucking important worry. It is the only postal service that delivers to every address. They are only provider of complete mail services for overseas military bases and provide free overseas PO boxes. They help prepare passport apps. Ship meds…

SCOOP: The National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine, arguably the nation's most powerful scientific organization, is bending to political pressure and removing terms like "health equity" from pending reports. Members are not happy. Story by me: www.statnews.com/2025/02/20/n...

Some of DOGE is retribution, some is corruption, some is incompetence, some is a mix of those, but this is destruction for destruction's sake. It's undermining American science, industry, and commerce just because they can.

NEW: We compiled and confirmed a list of some of the top people working inside the govt under the banner of DOGE. We even uncovered a DOGE-branded chatbot on one of the employees’ personal websites. As always, reach us if you have a tip or know what’s going on. ✌️ techcrunch.com/2025/02/18/t...

For whatever it may be worth, I'm a fan of JB Pritzker's work. And right now, he's an elected Dem saying "we don't have kings in America and I don't intend to bend the knee to one" when far too many motherfuckers are auditioning for Vichy roles

These are the GOP members of the House Ways and Means Committee--THEY'RE some of the people hiding while DOGE disrupts Medicare/Medicaid and NIH funding. If they are YOUR representative, consider a visit to their LOCAL OFFICE this week, while they're home, to explain why they need to oversee DOGE.

CISA controls the .gov domain registrar and the national public key infrastructure (PKI). This means Elon Musk has the ability to shut down any federal, state, or city government using a .gov domain. Musk can also now prevent .gov agencies and officials from registering their .gov BlueSky handles

New from 404 Media: a Musk ally has demanded administrative access to Notify.gov, a system that lets the government text the public. The access would give them large swathes of the publics' personal data too. A worker has resigned in protest rather than give access www.404media.co/musk-ally-de...
