Elon Musk paid less for the United States government than he did for Twitter. Remarkable how low the bidding was.

"the Department of Veterans Affairs announced the dismissal of more than 1,000 employees who had served for less than two years. That included researchers working on cancer treatment, opioid addiction, prosthetics and burn pit exposure, U.S. Sen. Patty Murray, a Democrat, said Thursday."

Danielle Sassoon, who resigned Thursday as Manhattan’s U.S. attorney, wrote to Attorney General Pam Bondi to explain her refusal to drop a corruption case against Mayor Eric Adams of New York.

it's sort of incredible to me that more people haven't done what sassoon is doing here: refusing to do an illegal thing, and making a stink about it. feels like it would be popular!!

Donald Trump’s latest solution to salvage TikTok for U.S. consumers includes a sovereign wealth fund, though how it would be funded isn’t exactly clear.

Anyone besides me think Elon is carrying out a coup by seizing information and financial systems???

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Kash Patel wants to run the FBI – but the Senate still doesn’t have key info from the Special Counsel’s report on his testimony. We need the truth. We need transparency. The DOJ must release these materials. Now. Read my letter with @senatordurbin.bsky.social:
