Every day, they're testing how far they can take this. If they think they can take it all the way, they absolutely will. But we don't have to let them.

NEW: Minnesota was just ranked a top state both to retire and to raise a family.   By investing in the things that matter – economic opportunity, health and safety, and strong communities – we’re building the best state for all Minnesotans from childhood through retirement.

Idiocracy was a documentary

When even the New York Post has to publish this, you know you fucked up.

Today’s cover of the Murdoch-owned New York Post

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

For decades, the US government has painstakingly kept American science #1 globally—and every facet of American life has improved because of it. The internet? Flu shot? Ozempic? All grew out of federally-funded research. Now all that's being dismantled. 1/ www.technologyreview.com/2025/02/21/1...

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

Musk may or may not be so credulous as to believe dopey shit like this, but that’s beside the point. Musk has a good nose for propaganda, & owns a powerful engine with which he can disseminate it. A party that controls every part of the government & is willing to shamelessly lie is hard to combat.

NEW — In an alarming email last night reviewed by me, Coast Guard members learned that 1,135 members' direct deposit account routing information was compromised due to a data breach from unauthorized access. It was only discovered because an officer “reported anomalous activity” on their account.

Why do I get the feeling that Leon Skum’s DOGE group’s tactics are consistent w just trying to drive up a running total of “savings” so Drumpft and the GOP can say “see we’re not taxing the poor to give the rich a tax break. We already found the money.” Or a substantial part of it.
