Maybe, but in this context it is profoundly worrying. We do not want to fire everyone. Even ChatGPT knows it is a bad idea.

The Loneliness of Being Ourselves oil on plywood 19 x 29 …the outer edge of the other, which is all we can ever touch — and still it is enough, this sliver of salvation from the loneliness of being ourselves. - THE MARGINALIAN www.lolajovan.com/store/p719/l... #art #painting #landscape

Trump and Musk Take a Hammer to America’s Reputation www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-and-...

A great insight from David Brooks. This is not populism. It's an intra-elite brawl that will hurt the poor and defenseless. Can We Please Stop Calling These People Populists? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/o...

Which is why the metal contents need to change. But realistically Pennie’s are already largely dead and useless anyway, so I doubt that it makes much difference.

US Senator Roger Wicker, head of the US Senate Committee on Armed Services, commented on the talks with Putin: "No, Putin cannot be trusted. Putin is a war criminal and should be in jail for the rest of his life, if not executed."

Belgian coastline evolution:

BREAKING: Denise Cheung, head of the criminal division in the D.C. U.S. Attorney’s Office, resigned after refusing a Justice Department order to freeze $20 billion in climate funds. In her resignation letter, she revealed that Trump officials had pressured her to launch a baseless criminal probe

Thank you. Now hopefully Congress can force the President to do the same by threatening not to renew the military’s existence (which comes up annually).

He didn't say that. And if he did, he didn’t mean it. And if he did mean it, you didn’t understand. And if you did, it’s not a big deal. And if it is, others have said worse.

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen. 1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.

Hopefully this person will care more about due process than Joe McCarthy…

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet. They are vital members of our community. They make our government actually work for people. Remember this.

Brazil shows that it can be done. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...

DOGE is attacking federal agencies that protect millions of Americans from financial predators, infectious diseases, natural disasters, and air crashes. Once again: this has nothing to do with making the government "efficient" — and everything to do with who it works for.

This is the first case challenging the new Trump administration’s actions to head to SCOTUS. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, our healthcare, and the information we receive. Many are now currying favor with Trump to avoid accountability and maintain their power. This is what oligarchy looks like.

Oligarch, plutocrat or kleptocrat, I are all much more concise. Still, you have a point.

In South Carolina, tonight: “I have an ectopic pregnancy. It’s on my ovary. They’re making me risk my ovary even though I don’t want to. They refuse to do the surgery.” #ForcedBirthNation Original Post: www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2yCKENt/

AP is banned from WH events and all the other legacy journalists walk right in. If this was the 60s, we know who would have been with the Freedom Riders, and who would’ve been writing about them from a safe place. AP stands alone. Sad but true.

It’s been over 100 days since the November 2024 general election, and the judicial race at issue is the last uncertified statewide contest in the nation. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Call upon Gov. Hochul to take action. Adams is comprised!

Stephen Miller was enraged when questioned about being Adolf Trump's secret son?

Stephen Miller would torture your cat. Kristi Noem would shoot your cat. RFKJr would eat your cat.

Stephen Miller has angry yelling meltdown www.palmerreport.com/analysis/ste...

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?

Hero. 🇺🇦

If that’s the case, you are spending too much time on the wrong parts of social media.

This.

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

Reporter: Some of the workers fired (and immediately rehired) were responsible for nuclear weapons security. Do you have any concerns? Trump: “No, not at all. I think we have to just do what we have to do.”

Math is hard

The other website is pretty much done

Oh, look what normal countries do when a former president leads a far right coup attempt.

We wanted them to have healthcare and a high paying job and a planet to live on and freedom. They want us to suffer. The parties are not the same.

BREAKING: Brazil ex-leader Bolsonaro knew and agreed to a plan to poison President Lula, top prosecutor says. Does this surprise anyone? apnews.com/article/bols...

Understand USDA is now fast tracking to rehire front line employees working on bird flu outbreaks. They were “accidentally” fired by the administration.  Translation: Nice job Musk! You and your friends will still get your tax breaks, but higher egg prices for everyone else.

Ooooops. Another big Trump, Kennedy and Musk screw-up... USDA accidentally fired officials working on bird flu and is now trying to rehire them.. An Agriculture Department spokesperson told NBC News that officials are "working to swiftly rectify the situation." www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

Good work, Senator Cassidy 👍

@raskin.house.gov: "The whole anti-corruption crusade is an absolute fraud. They started by decimating the ranks of the inspectors general. These are the people whose job is actually, day in and day out, 365 days a year, to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in the departments and the agencies."

Marjorie Taylor Greene tried to have Pete Buttigieg's salary reduced to $1 in November 2023. Does she think Sean Duffy should keep his job if planes can't manage to stay in the sky?

WTF? So does that mean they'll now try saying they interpret the law instead of the judiciary?

For the last two days, Sean Duffy has been blaming Pete Buttigieg, Joe Biden, the Democrats, and anyone else he can think of for the fact that under *HIS* watch, planes are crashing on a near-daily basis. Maybe fewer joyrides to the Daytona 500 and a little more attention paid to transportation.

I’m trying to host my show LIVE right now as a test. Come watch me probably screw a lot of stuff up lol Watch here: https://buff.ly/3CSgO8J

Just the Secretary of Defense announcing to the world he’s got tax problems. No biggie.

Trump slams President Zelensky for demanding a seat at peace negotiations over his own country’s future: “You’ve been there for three years. You should’ve ended it in three years. You should have never started it.” (Fact check: Russia started the war against Ukraine.)

BREAKING: Just when you thought it couldn’t get worse… The Department of Agriculture accidentally fired the employees working on bird flu response. They’re now frantically trying to get them back.
