Think we’ve forgotten about the time that Elon was booed so badly by fans of Dave Chapelle (of all people) that he locked himself in his office and Twitter employees considered calling the cops to do a wellness check. What I’m saying is we can go harder.

Imagine DOGE opens your mail and finds your household electric bill. To eliminate this cost, they burn your house down without warning. Then they total up the bills that, as a homeless person, you will never again pay. On its website, DOGE boasts about the money it has saved you.

Since Trump has already said that the law is whatever he says it is, it’s pretty clear that any protest he doesn’t like will be an illegal protest. Students are very much the nation’s conscience, and they have already paid a price. The rest of the United States better start protesting.

“We have to attack the universities… professors are the enemy.” #NIH funds universities. Jay Bhattacharya believes what Vance says here too. Bhattacharya was chosen by Trump because he would attack universities. Scientists must oppose Bhattacharya’s confirmation, and there is not much time left.

NOAA is an absolute mess, and it’ll be worse tomorrow. Please help us. There have already been over 1,000 terminations. It’s not just layoffs—Elon Musk and his staffers are trying to completely dismantle us. Today, there were tons of firings, and more are coming tomorrow.

One of those jobs that we hopefully never need to think about, because if we do that means something has gone badly wrong. But it’s also one of those jobs that someone needs to ensure is staffed appropriately to make sure something does not go badly wrong.

Not being sarcastic or glib, but what is the point of destruction like this? What does Musk gain from doing this? Is it really as shallow an explanation as “I want to just destroy everything.” But … for what? I get the attack on USAID, or the FAA, or DOJ. But what does this … do?

Awful news --> Delivery of therapeutic food assistance to nearly 400,000 severely malnourished kids abroad is suddenly in doubt due to Trump-Musk firings at USAID, two manufacturers of the product tell me. "Starving children are waiting," one says. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/1919...

Just a reminder: mocking fascists is a way of fighting fascism, too. That's why dictators make so many rules about treating the Dear Leader with respect.
