NEW — 19-year-old DOGE engineer Edward Coristine turns out to be the grandson of former KGB spy Valery Martynov, who played a role in a sprawling 1980s espionage saga. www.jacobsilverman.com/p/prominent-...

As Gernot Wagner said over on Mastodon, Shutting down already installed infrastructure isn't "efficiency," it's sabotage. electrek.co/2025/02/21/t...

People experiencing pregnancy loss in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves. We created this guide for anyone who finds themselves in the same position.

"The crowd again started shouting “tax Elon,” “tax the wealthy,” “tax the rich” and “tax the billionaires.” " www.lagrandeobserver.com/news/local/r...

Welcome to affirmative action for white male mediocrity, which has a long, long history but is all ramped up and shouty and sulky right now.

The “run it like a start up” grift is a more extreme version of the “run it like a business” trend for infrastructure. We had decades of people trying to run things like businesses they never should have—public goods, like schools, universities, and hospitals. That, plus technophilia, got us here.

The First Felon has spent his life cobbling vice into virtue and selling it as gold. Dying of whiteness is embracing the con because your sense of self is, as Toni Morrison put it so well, bereft.

“Our predecessors deposed a brain-addled king; they crushed the violent insurrectionists of a slaveholding confederacy; they kicked the Nazis’ asses throughout Europe.” “No entitled reality-TV has-been backed by an addle-brained billionaire who cheats at video games is going to roll over us now.”

I rarely reread what I've written because then I just think of all the ways I could have rewritten it, but I still very much appreciate @maddow.msnbc.com sharing @leahgreenberg.bsky.social's and my op-ed on air tonight! You can find the whole thing here: www.thenation.com/article/poli...

"Republican senators find themselves in an unusual position these days: begging Trump officials to release funds they themselves appropriated." Honestly, is there a more pathetic, contemptible collection of cowards & simps in the entire world?

This is what it’s going take. #ProfileInCourage #CourageIsContagious

This is on every member of the GOP, period. What the right wing crazies are trigger happy to do.

Democrats, here’s your Laken Riley. Say her name in the halls of Congress.

This new Executive Order puts Russ Vought in charge of the budgets and actions of independent agencies that Congress legislated to be separate from the White House. This is a dangerous overreach of power. www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/...

The late Indian-American printmaker Krishna Reddy was a daring artist and lifelong educator who transformed how we use color in printmaking today.

Dear Canada, A whole lot of us are horrified and doing our best as opposition.... and yeah, we're also super-embarrassed by how stupid Donald Trump is and how crassly normalizing the New York Times is. sincerely, your friend on the left coast

Imagine you have over $400 billion and you spend your time working to deny hungry children around the world meals to avoid starvation.

If I were in IT I know what I’d be doing.

so Bobby will make sure black children get the opportunity to get "re-parented" and sent out to some farm somewhere.

🚨Elon Musk’s DOGE operatives are attempting to access confidential tax information — tax returns, bank data, Social Security numbers — for millions of Americans. Illegal access can lead to jail time under federal law. @wyden.senate.gov and I are investigating and fighting back.

Listen to @jamellebouie.net! Flu deaths appear to be anomalously high in California at the moment. It could be the same elsewhere. www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID...

The Trump official currently dismantling USAID was caught in a secret meeting with a group of pro-Russian separatists in the Balkans. Those he met with are under American sanctions for trying to restart the Bosnian war in the name of Christian nationalism. 1/

We’re the laughingstock of the world. We deserve it.

“Why do I need NOAA? I’ve got a weather app.” Is equivalent to asking “Why do I need farms? I can go to the supermarket.” www.noaa.gov/about-our-ag...

All of Ezra Klein’s recent punditry assumes that we are definitely in a normal liberal democracy where scandals will hurt and thermostatic politics function normally. Zero awareness that we run the risk of hopping the tracks into a competitive authoritarian system that follows different patterns.

This. Especially Senate Republicans.

We are living in a depraved time when the people in the highest rungs of American government have more hatred for fellow Americans than every foreign adversary that would like to see the destruction of our nation.
