Holy shit! You’ve got to see this town hall. Republicans are starting to get torn apart by their own constituents. Rep. Rich McCormick: “You don’t think I’m going to stand up for you?” Woman in the crowd: “You need to stand up.” Another woman: “Don’t bend over.” 🔥

Misleading headlines for $1000 Alex. What is correct: we have been given authority to hire temporary employees. What is misleading: the terminated permanent employees have NOT been reinstated. We also have lost employees due to the Fork. To be clear— still a significant net loss of employees.

A reminder: 1. Elon Musk's wealth is mostly in Tesla stock 2. Tesla is successful because at a key moment in 2009 the federal government gave it a $465 million loan so it could make sedans 3. Musk is now firing thousands of government workers and slashing every service ordinary people depend on

NEW: We compiled and confirmed a list of some of the top people working inside the govt under the banner of DOGE. We even uncovered a DOGE-branded chatbot on one of the employees’ personal websites. As always, reach us if you have a tip or know what’s going on. ✌️ techcrunch.com/2025/02/18/t...

It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

Criminals are running amok inside our government and nothing will be done about it because—oh, that’s right!—America voted for a convicted criminal to be in charge of all federal law enforcement See how that works

An incredibly important exchange here for more reasons than one. It’s worth it to note: this DOJ lawyer, Jason Lynch, is tanking his credibility in defense of an insidious, pretextual, and asinine Trump Administration policy. This kind of stuff will forever haunt you professionally.

Happening now: it's 1°F outside in Chicago—a literal frozen hellscape. Furious EPA workers with AFGE Local 704 are rallying against the Trump/Musk evisceration of the federal workforce targeting new hires. Recently fired employees include those responsible for monitoring air & water quality.

First page of the termination letter sent to probational staff. “performance has not been adequate” regardless of actual performance. Probationary doesn’t just mean new people. It’s also people who have been there for years but promoted to a new supervisory position within the past 12 months.

Put yourself in Ukraine's position. The guy who's been victimizing you for a decade is meeting with the cops, talking about how to build a lasting relationship with each other that will include some "difficult" parts about ending your abuse. It's dangerous, anti-peace and embarrassing.

True story: a few years ago, I was being interviewed by a reporter for the New York Times. I mentioned the history of eviction statutes and how they tied into Jim Crow. The reporter asked "what's Jim Crow?" When I explained, the reporter didn't believe me and said the US wouldn't do that.

Musk is a truly repugnant man; there is less point and purpose to his existence than to black mold. And this isn't even the first time Musk has publicly mocked and sent his attack dogs after a disabled person, remember Haraldur Thorleifsson?

1. After a federal judge ruled that websites containing LGBTQ+ information at the CDC must be restored, the Trump administration did so... but then also added snide and incorrect anti-trans headers to them. The latest from new EITM writer S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

@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."

The good news: CDC's webpages have been restored following court orders. The bad news: many have this despicable banner attached to them. We will be getting into misconceptions in gender ideology in a later post. For now, we are hurt and ashamed, and we stand with the LGBTQIA+ community.
