Every time I walk past a bank, I face an ethical question. Should I just rob it? It's a stumper.

So look at that. DOGE has cost the US Treasury fucking half a trillion dollars. HALF A TRILLION DOLLARS. This is your cost savings.

Perhaps the most concise way to think about this is that Musk has pranced around bragging about cracking down on fraud and abuse, finding the bad guys. Meanwhile what he's actually done is enable perhaps the biggest splurge of fraud and tax cheating in history. For him and his pals.

New — A viral story about the Dropkick Murphys getting banned from X was reported by multiple reputable news outlets. But as @jsweetli.bsky.social learned through simple reporting, the story was totally false. For The Handbasket she explains her work, and exposes major holes in current journalism:

The absolute worst thing I could imagine would be having one of my kids die. I cannot possibly imagine saying that the thing that killed them is “not as bad a they’re making it out to be.”

Parents of the child who died of measles have joined RFK-founded Children's Health Defense. Anti-vaccine groups excel at swooping in for tragedy, offering parents a cause. “Don’t do the shots,” her mother said, measles is “not as bad as they’re making it out to be.” www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Remember 1983’s “The Day After”? There was a woman who wouldn’t stop making her bed as the sirens were going off. It drove me crazy at the time; now I understand.

I think there's some truth to this. The faster everything falls apart here, the sooner they can play out their narrative of "saving" humanity from itself. It's deeply sociopathic

Musk here isn’t simply being stupid. He’s purposely defining Nazism down. The claim that there weren’t Nazis until, in effect, 1939, is ridiculous—but it is an attempt to stop people from correctly calling out elements of Nazism today as long as or until there’s not an actual world war or genocide.

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

Hundreds of NOAA employees are being fired by Trump and DOGE. The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US. A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans. Again, this isn't about efficiency.

Hundreds of workers at the CDC. More than 1,000 at the NIH. Scores of staffers at the FDA. Trump’s purge of federal employees includes those doing lifesaving work. Many of them expressed fear at what would happen to the projects they left behind. By @anniewaldman.bsky.social & @deldeib.bsky.social

I think Alzheimer’s is bad, and we should work on prevention, treatments and ideally cures. Sorry to get so partisan, but that’s how I feel.

Using diplomatic currency to let a rapist and sex trafficker off the hook while you claim to be tough on crime. Using the pardon power to free the world’s largest fentanyl trafficker while you harass uninvolved countries over the drug. All because those guys flattered you www.ft.com/content/3f95...

This aid didn’t get much public attention when it flowed. Now Americans learn what they’re missing. 400 Somalis the US trained for anti-terror work “were left outside an American military base with no provision for food, fuel or electricity.” t.co/8JM4vHBuhK

It's worth noting that there's a concept called the transition cliff, where disabled kids are most vulnerable at age 22 when their public school education ends. There is already a lack of services, and this will, of course, make it worse.
