the stock market is now below where it was when Joe Biden left office

The stuff they're doing is deeply unpopular and they're rapidly heading in that direction. Stop treating them like they're untouchable. We can fight back.

According to Musk and most of tech: No conflict, no interest

Vanity Fair: In private, Republicans talk about their fear that Trump might incite his MAGA followers to commit political violence against them if they don’t rubber-stamp his actions “They’re scared shitless about death threats and Gestapo-like stuff,”a fmr member of Trump’s 1st administration said

He should be our messenger.

IL Gov. Pritzker is one of the great leaders of our time. You can watch his full IL budget address here. If you forward to the 26 minute mark, you can watch as he shifts to a dire warning about the direction our country is taking, but also words of hope. We should all take heed.

UNREAL CRUELTY. Completely senseless.

Scoop --> Trump-Musk cuts just resulted in the firing of numerous top researchers at NIH's center for combating Alzheimer's, sources tell me. They predict big setbacks to fighting dementias. This cause was once championed by *Republicans.* Details here: newrepublic.com/article/1917...

🚨🚨🚨 This is wildly infuriating. There are scores of doctors, scientists and institutions solely focused on the safety, efficacy, and protocols of medications. The suggestion that a man without degrees or experience in medicine, healthcare or science knows better than these specialists is MADNESS.

Yes, booing the U.S. national anthem is disrespectful to Americans—but you know what’s worse? The U.S. president repeatedly and publicly telling the world that Canada has no right to exist and should be part of the U.S.🇺🇸🇨🇦

Elon musk is the richest man in the world, he could be funding hospitals, medical research and universities. He could be solving the climate crisis. He could be feeding, hungry children. Instead, he’s trying to make sure that your grandmother doesn’t get an extra dollar of Social Security.

Run for something!

Donald Trump chose to waste millions of taxpayer dollars spending the afternoon at the Daytona 500—while multiple states are devastated by severe flooding, and over 10 people are reportedly dead. Absolutely sickening.

A new Florida law provides for any law enforcement officer who assists in the arrest of a person in the state illegally to receive a $1,000 bonus. It turns out you can act as a bounty hunter even while wearing the uniform of the state. @adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social:

I feel like I'm going insane every time I see a media story about DOGE that doesn't also mention the fact that the Government Accountability Office exists and performs the exact function that DOGE pretends to, only in a credibly constitutional, non-partisan, and conflict-of-interest-free manner

This is probably the most accurate take.

“We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American eagle in order to feather their own nests.” -FDR, 1941

If you’ve ever taken the oath to uphold the Constitution, this is the time to live up to it.

H/T @bakarisellers.bsky.social on another platform: “Trump and Musk, the face of the new Republican Party, have 18 kids by 7 mothers.” #FamilyValues

Breaking - White House is forcing out top leadership at the National Archives. “The exodus of senior staff is seen as a huge loss for the agency, which is considered nonpartisan and dedicated to the preservation of history and documents.” www.cnn.com/2025/02/14/p...

At the moment, mansion-sized Asteroid 2024-YR4 has a one-in-fifty chance of hitting Earth in the next eight years. Now might be a bad time to reduce spending on Science. Just sayin’.

"The country is less safe. These are the deployable assets critical for investigating new threats, from anthrax to Zika," said Dr. Anne Schuchat, a former top-ranking CDC official and alumna of the program. www.cbsnews.com/news/cdc-dis...

When I heard Musk say this on Tuesday, my assumption was that it was a programming issue. Because I can code and have written to databases and because I am familiar with other examples of default values being misinterpreted. Yet somehow Musk isn't.

Termination notices going out this afternoon to more than 300 employees of the National Cancer Institute. Access likely ends today. Four weeks paid leave and that’s it. Strong power move for Team Cancer.

U.S. Dept of Veterans Affairs confirms it has dismissed more than 1,000 employees A once unthinkable concept for an agency that operates 100+ major hospitals and many hundreds more clinics And processes veterans benefits news.va.gov/press-room/v...

Musk killed these people.

US President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing the Justice Department to pause prosecutions of Americans accused of bribing foreign government officials while trying to win or retain business in their countries reut.rs/4jVNpuP

Not a single Republican senator stood against Gabbard -- ignoring the law requiring the director of national intelligence to have deep national-security experience. She has none. She represents the disastrous rise of misplaced power, and a danger to the United States. www.axios.com/2025/02/10/t...

KY GOV. BESHEAR: “If they eliminated the Department of Education and its funding, that’s half a billion dollars in meals for kids that otherwise might go hungry.”
