Just as jarring as Trump's pro-Russia foreign policy pivot has been his embrace of Putin-like tactics at home, unfolding with a speed and ferocity far different than what Trump was able to pull off in his first term. Call it the Putinization of America. www.newyorker.com/news/letter-...

Fact Check: The drone video is indeed genuine and shows a protest in NYC directed at tRump and Musk. Some users on X are spreading lies by claiming it’s fake or from an earlier date. The footage clearly reflects the public's anger and dissent on Presidents Day, 2025. www.snopes.com/fact-check/t...

Kevin Hassett on Trump's avian flu plan: "What we need to do is have better ways w/ bio-security & medication & so on to make sure that the perimeter doesn't have to kill the chickens. To have a better, smarter, perimeter...they're killing chickens to stop the spread, but chickens don't really fly"

What’s bugging me almost the most is the Ozempic tRump. His felonious arse is exponentially smaller and that’s more reason to loathe the effer.

CANADA MP CHARLIE ANGUS, on US/Canada trade: “I think what’s really fascinating is: nobody in Canada is surprised. I mean, did anyone believe this guy, his word, could be trusted? He’s a criminal. He’s a convicted predator.” @acyn.bsky.social

Good piece by @gregsargent.bsky.social in @newrepublic.com, responding to the Pope's surprising rebuke of Trump and Vance's deportation plan and his insistence that it is incompatible with Catholic social teaching... newrepublic.com/article/1914...

With flu, RSV, COVID, H5N1, it seems like a great time to eff with the CDC. Started feeling unwell yesterday; in 2024, I would have done ibuprofen/acetaminophen, eucalyptus steam, hot tea. It’s 2025, so I took a Vicodin. YOLO

Very unwelcome news! H5N1 genotype D1.1 6 identified in 6 Nevada dairy herds. This is NOT the strain that's been circulating on farms so far. It's the strain that sent a 13yo girl in Canada to ICU, and that killed a man in Louisiana. Very bad time for a public health comms blackout.

What this long and detailed NYT piece calmly calls an “extraordinary flexing of power by a private individual” is in fact a blatantly unconstitutional usurpation of Congress’s Article I powers and delegation of the President’s Article II duties. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/u...

Approximately 20 members of Elon Musk’s staff have begun working within the Education Department. They have gained access to multiple sensitive internal systems, including a financial aid dataset containing the personal information of millions of students enrolled in the federal student aid program.

In an Uber driven by a kind human who was not born here and whose native language is not English. His car is a very clean Prius. He was on time for a 4:40 pick up. He was concerned for me bc it was icy. Immigrants are not the problem. I am worried abt the coup moving on to the FAA or TSA next. WTF

Wow, that was fast. Irving Energy, company that provides propane/fuel oil customers in New England, says it will pass on the full 10% tariff cost to all their customers immediately (reposting with fixed figure - meant to say 10%, not 30%)

New — USAID staff received an email just a few minutes ago letting them know HQ would be closed to all personnel Monday. It’s likely some employees will miss the overnight email, show up and be turned away. It was sent by Gavin Kliger, one of the young guys at DOGE doing Musk’s bidding.

It's a coup: "Elon Musk said his 'DOGE team' of government efficiency enforcers is shutting down payments to federal contractors, suggesting that the world’s richest man may have access to sensitive systems used at the US Treasury Department."

This is a good NPR piece on the lies on which Trump's tariff attack are based. 1) Far fewer deaths than Trump and @karolineleavitt claimed 2) Almost no Canadian involvement 3) Biden already made progress on reversing it Every tariff story should start by debunking lies www.npr.org/2025/02/02/n...

There is a meme that has been spread all year that states that Canada only uses a tiny part of the land and hardly anyone lives here. This is step one to invading a country because It was unoccupied anyway. That is how a great many countries were taken over and the inhabitants exterminated.

More of this. Resigning in protest has little significance anymore. Say no, throw a fit, make waves. Politicize the public in favor of the civil service. We are in danger without it.
