Trump is going to issue an executive order that says he's putting USPS under the control of the Commerce Department and dissolving its governing board (!). "Trump’s order to place the Commerce Department in charge of the Postal Service likely violates federal law, according to postal experts."

3rd day in a row on the golf course while Musk runs the country. He didn’t even know yesterday that the head of the Social Security Admin resigned, and didn’t know SpaceX employees were working at the FAA/DOD, and claimed Medicaid wasn’t being cut when it’s being cut massively.

"A war criminal and a convicted felon are deciding the future of Ukraine. If we are silent in allowing Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin to carve up Ukraine it is a repeat of Munich 1938. We cannot allow this to happen.” - Charlie Angus, NATO meetings Brussels www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_hq...

After jeopardising airline safety, food safety, disease protection, foreign aid & nuclear safety, today Elon Musk starts on his new target: Removing the people who warn communities of incoming hurricanes. If Russia wanted to kill Americans, it would invent DOGE. Or maybe it did.

"This was not peace talks nor a negotiation, but a business meeting," risk analyst @samdebendern.bsky.social says. "A business meeting between the representatives of two bosses, who want to decide how best to share the spoils of war. That is really what we're seeing here." ~AA

"As the lawyer for some of the UK victims of Tate’s alleged crimes, I find this development, if true, equally bizarre and outrageous... The US shouldn’t be interfering based on Elon Musk’s political whims and predilections and the money Tate makes for him on X." ~AA

Prime Minister Keir Starmer says it is important for world leaders to have 'realistic and credible answers' for how to make any peace agreement last in Ukraine “Because the last thing I want to see is a pause in the fighting that simply gives Putin the chance to come again”

New in PN: Trump's weaponized Department of Education "The administration is already using the DOE to attack trans kids while shuttering nearly every civil rights investigation. It’s an abdication of the govt's role in protecting students from discrimination and a grim example of weaponization."

I don't know why the media continue to refer to Putin's and Trump's officials meeting in Riyadh as 'peace' talks. It seems the intention is that the two countries agree their plan for Ukraine, which presumably will include the replacement of Zelenski with a Russian puppet. 'Defeat' talks then.

🚨 SCOOP: DOGE is seeking personal taxpayer data at IRS, sources tell me. 🚨 Trump admin is pushing IRS to agree to an MOU that would give DOGE access to granular data on every taxpayer, business and nonprofit in the country.

This is chilling. About a clear an example as you can find of ideology driving science, when the government is telling scientists in advance what answers they want them to find out. But that should also tell you the value of any findings in such a regime.

On Monday, USAID's IG warned that Trump's agency cuts have made it harder to root out fraud and abuse — and that nearly $500M in food was about to spoil due to Trump's foreign aid freeze. On Tuesday, Trump fired him. So much for transparency.

Today, along with 2,000 other NIH employees, I had to clear out my office 😭 It was truly the honor of my life to work with such incredibly passionate people focused on improving human health. I’ve never experienced a more positive culture where everyone cared about their job and serving others.

Morning Bluesky. Putin doesn’t want to continue fighting in Ukraine due to the "pretty dire economic state" Russia is in, Richard Kemp, who commanded British troops in Afghanistan, tells the BBC. “Russia can keep on fighting but "it’s unclear how long it will be able to do this for".

A huge decision from Judge Amir Ali, meticulously reasoned and utterly scathing, finding that Trump’s foreign aid freeze is almost certainly an illegal and arbitrary abuse of power. He orders the immediate restoration of all international assistance. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Compulsory reading. Compulsory understanding of what this means, and how bad and terrifying this is. "Power grabs, dismantling institutions faster than anyone can track, attacking science, knowledge and international cooperative bodies and allies are all part of the authoritarian playbook."

We’ve had checks & balances & separation of powers embedded into the founding of our national govt specifically because the Framers anticipated that some day an executive might come along like Trump. For over 2 centuries we have also had judicial review. It’s all under siege now.

Musk: “If the bureaucracy is in charge, then what meaning does democracy actually have?” An unelected billionaire who is illegally dismantling structures of state to shield his businesses from scrutiny & enrich himself is lecturing people on democracy. A plague on all those who aided this.
