New from me! I spoke with real federal auditors about what an actual audit looks like. Spoiler: what DOGE is doing is not it. "In no uncertain terms is this an audit. It’s a heist, stealing a vast amount of government data.” @wired.com www.wired.com/story/federa...

Musk’s staffers have entered an independent government agency by force. Employees from DOGE are now inside the Washington offices of the United States Institute of Peace. This comes just days after agency representatives were unable to gain access to the building on Friday being blocked by lawyers.

Despite the false claims from Trump and his GOP minions, the truth is clear: FEMA has been there for North Carolina. The idea of cutting or eliminating FEMA is outrageous. Thanks to FEMA and local governments, North Carolina is on the road to recovery.

I'm in the @nytimes.com @nytopinion.nytimes.com this morning asking: Who exactly is running the federal government? If we can’t answer that simple question, government officials and civil society must recognize warning signs of state capture and take back what's ours. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/05/o...

UPDATE: 8 Dems voted today to confirm yet another Trump nominee during Musk's coup: Bennett (CO), Gallego (AZ), Hassan (NH), Heinrich (NM), Hickenlooper (CO), King (ME), Lujan (NM), Shaheen (NH). If you're a constituent, don't just call - write an op-ed, protest their office, make clear you care.

The fact that they’re broadcasting an entire Trump press conference while Democratic elected officials are trying to get into the USAID building which was shut down by Musk shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

The new tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China "will cost the average American household $1,245 in purchasing power, trim GDP by 0.2% and push the total effective tariff rate in the US to the highest level since 1946," my colleague Josh Wingrove writes, citing The Budget Lab at Yale University.
