Wow. DOGE is far more expensive than the USDS that it pretends to be. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

Be brave, my friends. Speak out. Resist. We are the real majority.

Fictional villains: my motivation involves a complex backstory around lost love and a deep yearning to be understood Real life villains: being cruel makes me feel like a big strong man

BRAVO and THANK YOU!

Let's talk about how to report on right-wingers without amplifying their hateful rhetoric. Far-right extremists count on YOU to spread their messages for them. Here's a thread of resources. 1) The Oxygen of Amplification: Better Practices for Reporting on Extremists, Antagonists, and Manipulators

EXCLUSIVE: A federal worker at the EPA sent an incredible email to Administrator Lee Zeldin. He's refused to stay silent, and has asked me to share the email - and his name - with the public. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Again: I don’t think the primary goal of the anti-D.E.I. authoritarianism we’re seeing is re-segregation. It’s TOTAL human enslavement to corporations. Re-segregation is just a stop on that train. Explicit white supremacy and patriarchy are being used to make techno-fascism seductive to the masses.

Plot twist! Eric Adams is reportedly on the verge of taking the Trump administration to court, even after the Justice Department dropped criminal charges against Adams. www.rawstory.com/trump-cabine...

Man who claims our elections are easy to steal makes sure no one is there to stop it from happening.

One Farmer to Another! youtu.be/O4CRk0J7ZPo?...

Democracy Forward filed a lawsuit on behalf of the city of Baltimore, Maryland and the economic justice organization Economic Action Maryland Fund on Wednesday to block President Donald Trump’s efforts to dismantle the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau — the nation’s financial watchdog agency.

34% of New Mexicans are Medicaid patients. If these cuts go through it will destroy New Mexico's healthcare system.

Rep. David Schweikert (R-AZ) gets real about the national debt and how ridiculous DOGE is. Hey MAGA, do you think Trump and Musk and their billionaire buddies are stealing from you? Cause they are? youtu.be/TCyysMU66VA?...

Pop quiz: People are saying the kid says “you’re not the president you need to go away” — do y’all hear it too?

New: Project 2025, which Russell Vought is the architect of, advocates for cutting NIH funding. But, it has been NIH-funded research that contributed to Vought’s own daughter having better treatment options for cystic fibrosis. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

When I worked for the government, the *only* places there would have been indications of my net worth were on the SF-86 questionnaire for my security clearance or in IRS records. Why would they have access to either one?

The Empire Self-Destructs, a #saturday #mustread from Chris Hedges open.substack.com/pub/chrished...

Welcome to the resistance! Over 1 million brave souls have answered the call this week. The Empire—Trump’s administration and Musk—may believe its grip is unbreakable, but every day, more join our ranks. We’ve always known—tomorrow, there will be more of us.

Grassley was at Mar-a-Lago last night. My guess is that Trump is going to plug this funding hole with direct cash payments to farmers that voted for him rather than the old arrangement where the food actually served a purpose to feed hungry people around the world.
