Lost my last pair of gloves on the MBTA. Super bummed but so easy to skip Amazon (Target too!) and pick up a pair and a spare at Kohls instead.

Trump and Musk "accidentally" fired government officials who were working to contain the bird flu—now they're scrambling to rehire them. A complete and total shitshow.

I wrote about the importance of "prebunking," in light of rumors that Elon Musk may have purchased $40 million in Super Bowl ads to spread misinformation about the "fraud" and "corruption" in this vital agency. I hope you will read and share asharangappa.substack.com/p/prebunking...

US farmers sold $2 billion of food to USAID. Not any more. - US farmers provided 41% of food delivered by USAID - $340M of purchases/shipments are now paused. Over 680,000 tonnes. - Food stranded in Houston - Aid stopped in transit. The world’s poor starving, food rotting & US farmers screwed.

Costco, which has come out saying it supports DEI, will make no changes to its existing programs, AND pays workers a minimum of $30/hour, is up 15% YTD. Target, which announced it is ending all DEI programs and has a minimum wage of $15-$24/hour, is down over 4%. Keep voting with your wallet.

NEW: Treasury Dept agrees not to let anyone who isn't a current, regular (non-SGE) employee access its payment system/records, with the exception of Tom Krause and Marko Elez, who will have read-only access. The agreement will last until the judge decides whether to grant a preliminary injunction.

The Senate just passed the Laken Riley Act, which would shred constitutional rights and let MAGA extremists gut legal immigration. This dangerous bill now moves to the House, where 48 Democrats recently voted for it. Call your representative and demand they vote NO: indivisible.org/resource/tel...

Spineless. That’s the only word for the Senate Democrats who handed Republicans a victory without a fight. The Laken Riley Act is a racist, xenophobic attack on immigrants that shreds constitutional rights and lets MAGA extremists hijack federal immigration policy.
