Hi 👋🏼 Are you a federal worker who has to send 5 bullet points to Elon Musk about what you did this week? Send them to me, too. [email protected] Or jacobbbogage.87 securely on Signal

I have undergraduates writing research project ideas, and 3-5 bullet points wouldn’t be enough for them to explain anything. These guys are SO stupid, in addition to being absurd and cruel.

What I Accomplished Last Week: 5 Bullet Points for My Boss 1. Pondered the great question of our time (“Who is the administrator of DOGE?????”) 2. Read some court filings that did not reveal the DOGE administrator’s identity 3. Asked Elon Musk to tell me who the administrator of DOGE is (no reply)

For most of the second half of 2009, the Democrats held 60 votes in the U.S. Senate. Which they used to pass the Affordable Care Act. Without a single Republican vote. But less than one full Senate term later, in early 2015, Republican Mitch McConnell became the Senate Majority Leader.

With temperatures thawing I set my sights on the mountains to the east for today’s ride. There’s something about rugged, white, snowcapped peaks bursting through layers of fog and overcast skies that causes my heart to sing with joy.

OH COME ON

We wanted to know what the average Black person thinks of Donald Trump. So we asked the communications director of the Houston Young Republicans, who grew up in a mixed race family in a majority white Long Island suburb.

Simple ad campaign suggestion: "Why is Ken Paxton obsessed with your daughters' genitals? Why does Ken Paxton want to look down your daughters' pants? Would you like coaches to have state-mandated access to your daughters' private parts?"

The governor of Maine is a 77-year-old in the middle of her second term in office and therefore ineligible to run for a third. But King Trump here tries to intimidate her by saying she'll have no future career in politics if she dares to stand up to him. I think she's all good, man.

This is in fact a real picture and it will work nicely in the ads next year about the military families devastated by Elon's illegal firings.

He will not criticize Putin.

There's a lot of information packed into this article. I hope you'll read it, too.

Yo DOGE, Found your waste! 👇🏼

TODAY: The Senate is scheduled to vote on Kash Patel’s nomination for FBI director. This MAGA extremist has salivated about prosecuting journalists, government officials, & ordinary Americans. Call your senators: indivisible.org/resource/cal... Or email instead: act.indivisible.org/sign/demand-...

If Trump wants to see elections in Ukraine, all he has to do is use the power he keeps talking about to get the Russian invaders off Ukrainian soil. Then martial law in Ukraine ends, and elections will follow.

Incredible stuff in here: They ID'ed him, in part, by going to court hearings and watching him post

☑️ Sunday: Driven around the track at Daytona ☑️ Monday: Golf ☑️ Tuesday: Golf Again ☑️ Wednesday: More Golf

Good for Pence for this statement - and linking to a FOX News piece: chef's kiss. I hope other conservatives will speak out on behalf of the truth.

Liberal gallows humor holds that we won't have any more elections. But if Trump believes that Putin is a more legitimate president than Zelensky just because he had more recent "elections," I'd bet that we *will* have elections, just ones that look more and more Russian.

white nationalist men are too emotional to be in charge

This is it exactly. Mock these toadies right to their faces.

Maybe I wasn’t clear about this. I wanted more egg and no plane crash, not many plane crash and no egg.

While I'm thinking so fondly of NY, here's Sarah Jarosz's musical appreciation of NYC. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gI3...

I got to visit my grandson and take him to school/pick him up every day last week. It was a week of wholesomeness in snowy upstate New York. My heart and soul needed that.

There is no departmental waste or fraud that can be found by a taxpayer's social security number. As a CPA, this scares the hell out of me - considering the privacy measures IRS mandates to those in my profession. There is no reason for this other than going after individual taxpayers.

Rep. Jamie Raskin said Sunday that the Justice Dept. made a "deeply corrupt bargain" dropping the charges against NYC Mayor Eric Adams. "The Justice Department is at war with its own attorneys, its own prosecutors, and the whole episode is just saturated with corruption,"

So DOGE can recommend targeted audits of taxpayers who just so happen to be Elon critics. apple.news/AoTpQCKVbQqu...

Are people finally waking up? The real fight isn’t about bathrooms or drag queens—it’s about who holds power & at whose expense. Culture war is just a distraction, keeping working people too busy fighting each other rather than noticing who’s actually robbing us blind: billionaires—not each other!

This is why it is and will be so important not to buy into the "don't politicize a tragedy!" line (which, of course, is itself a form of politicizing tragedy). When the bad things happen, people will need to be prepared to make it clear exactly how the degradation of government caused them.

Pause, and read... • Philip Larkin •

This is probably the most accurate take.

Just had a fun flashback to early 2009, when Obama hired some advisers (normal) without any formal decision-making authority (also normal) and Republicans pretended to be furious about a proliferation of “tsars.” Good times.

This is the way.

This is the best! Mapquest has a name your own Gulf site. Type in whatever name you want and it shows up on the map.

National Nuclear Security Administration officials are attempting to notify some employees who had been let go that they are now due to be reinstated — but they're struggling to find them because they don't have their new contact information. nbcnews.to/4104StF

In announcing the Fort Bragg name change today, the U.S. Army's official X account tagged Elon Musk directly. This is not good.
