Musk went straight to the slurs after being called out yet again for saying that astronauts have been stranded on the International Space Station by the Biden administration for “political reasons”—a lie that astronauts themselves have repeatedly debunked.

Seems like the new pardon policy, described below by @kyledcheney.bsky.social, should also help Jeremy Brown, whose weapons conviction are on appeal. When FBI arrested him for J6 crimes, they found 2 live grenades & 2 illegal short-barrel rifles in his possession. bsky.app/profile/kyle...

“If DOGE is a federal agency, it can’t shield its records from the public. If it’s not an agency, then DOGE’s tens of millions of dollars in funding weren’t legally allocated and should be returned, some contend.” www.propublica.org/article/doge...

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau exists to protect Americans from predatory lenders, junk fees, and fraud. Shutting it down does nothing more than give sketchy companies a free pass to prey on the public. We’re not going to let that happen.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

The National Park Service fired many of its park rangers as part of a reduction in the federal work force. Some rangers decided it was worth the risk to speak out online about the cuts and share their love of the Park Service. “It’s scary, but it was the right thing to do.”

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

Cutting NASA's workforce by about 10 percent. That's a boost to the Chinese and Russians. And the guy in charge of SpaceX made this decision? That's a total conflict of interest. Moreover, firing all probationary employees shows they're not serious about evaluating programs. It's a machine gun.

Hey bros in my replies telling me to “cry harder”, 89 people were cut in the FDA’s human foods program over the weekend, including staff with expertise in infant formula safety. I’m sure that shit won’t affect you right? Not people you love? Infants you love? Just us Libs right?

10% of NASA’s workforce has been laid off—guess that’ll be a boost for SpaceX.

U. S. District Court Judge Dale Ho will hold a hearing tomorrow on whether dropping the federal prosecution of NYC’s corrupt mayor is in the “public interest.” It isn’t. Deference to DOJ is required. Abdication of judgment isn’t. If ever there was a case in which the judge should say no, it’s this.

How much is Congress cutting from their $6.5 billion/year budget? Don’t you think congress can operate on say, maybe, $5 Billion? And each congressman has 18 staff, they could operate on say, 14? What about the White House?

Trumpists will continue to be furious at any dissent no matter how much power they steal. That’s because the administration is premised on pathological insecurity. They’re shitty people, they know it, and they will never stop resenting being seen as shitty people.

Correct. This is a President of the United States declaring himself a dictator. And instead of Americans understanding that we’re now under imminent threat of martial law and tyranny, we’ll get a month of think pieces about what the President of the United States meant by his UNAMBIGUOUS statement.

Glad Trump had the chance to waste millions of taxpayer dollars to fly over the Daytona 500 and then ride The Beast on the track as parts of West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, Arkansas, and Tennessee are underwater. Priorities.
