Budget cuts "undermining your ability to do the basics of the job. Budget cutting that feels nonsensical and is not based in research and not based in what’s actually making you money is super common." Pumped for @greenwell.bsky.social's forthcoming book www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

As seen elsewhere but my take is not kumbaya and let's all light scented candles. It's Black, LGBTQ, Jewish Americans told white America our stories and shared out lived experiences, personal, collective, generational...to prevent where we are now. 1/

Been thinking a lot lately about the idea of legacy. I feel like 50 years ago men cared about what others would think about them after they were gone. Now it seems they don’t. They feel free to be as evil and treacherous as they want because they don’t care at all about legacy

Putin’s lifelong dream was to somehow separate the US from NATO. But how to break up a strong alliance that stood for 80 years and continued to expand? There really was only one way to do it, he figured it out a decade ago, and played the long game. Now his guy will do it.

Roberta Flack, the Grammy-winning singer and pianist whose intimate vocal and musical style on “Killing Me Softly with His Song,” “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” and other hits made her one of the top recording artists of the 1970s, died Monday. She was 88.

When I say the Trump admin is dismantling Constitutional democracy, I usually get replies that it was always unfair. Electoral College, gerrymandering, Bush v. Gore, etc. This is next level. Don't blur that. I don't want to pick on anyone, and think most are well-intentioned, but you're not helping.

This is incredibly smart by @ryanhatesthis.bsky.social, a lesson Democrats have to learn fast. There will be no a-ha moment for the electorate. You can't wait around for people to realize how bad it is if they'll invariably wind up blaming the Reverse Vampires. You just have to fight, right now.

The argument that Trump Media Group is making about a judge's interpretation of his country's laws is the same argument that Musk made about Australia's eSafety commissioner when she sought the removal of terrorist content on X under the country's Online Safety Act. 1/

There are a number of progressive accounts who are cheering on a consistent attack, not on Trump, not on his authoritarian behavior, but on Hakeem Jeffries, and the Democrats. Why is that? Why are some of you more mad at Hakeem than you are AT HIM?? WAKE THE F UP!!!!

This is sort of the skeleton key to understanding a lot of shit: there 100% is a non-trivial amount of inefficiency and waste in the federal bureaucracy, and most of it is a direct result of ‘reforms’ that are meant to assuage the people who complain about “waste and inefficiency in govt”

Good piece by @joshtpm.bsky.social exploring the strategic ambiguity Dems may be using in their messaging. But @joshtpm.bsky.social also makes the point that Dems must employ a clear red line on criminality as part of whatever bargain is made to prevent a shutdown.

Not-so-fun fact: In 2024, the combined salaries of 2M federal employees totaled $213B (avg. $106K each, per OMB). Coincidentally, Elon Musk’s net worth rose by $213B in 2024 (per Bloomberg). Helps to put in perspective where the real inefficiencies lie.

NEWS: Sources tell me that DOGE is setting its sights on the Department of Labor next. DOL workers have been ordered to give DOGE access to whatever they ask for—or risk termination. “We’re supposed to stop everything we’re doing and do whatever the DOGE kids ask… It feels dirty and illegal.”

I’m on my way to the Treasury Dept to demand answers. Billionaire-in-Chief Elon Musk has been given illegal access to Americans’ private info, including Social Security numbers. Zero people voted for Elon to run our government. This is about oversight and transparency.
