“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Besides this just being another sign of us being in the dumbest, darkest timeline, a “patio” would be even more miserable for journalists et al for summer announcements than the grass. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/14/u...

Very proud to announce the Department of Health will now process all requests to change gender designation on birth certificates within three business days. Previously, there was as much as a 10 month wait.

Given developments at the Kennedy Center, effective today I am resigning as artistic advisor to the NSO. Not for me. It’s been a wonderful 8 years working with Kennedy Center President Deb Rutter, fellow artistic advisor Renee Fleming, NSO artistic administrator Justin Ellis, and the entire NSO

I guess one way to backdoor Handmaid’s Tale this thing is to push through an anti-vax HHS Head, make schools unsafe, and force women back into the home to home school out of fear of small pox. And yes, we all know it will be women. #rfk #hhs #vaccines #handmaid

I know we can’t run around on fire every time Trump says something but he appears to have just announced the new US policy on Gaza which is to take ownership of it, ethnically cleanse it of the 1.8 million Palestinians there and maintain a long term ownership stake as it’s “developed.”

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

Three things: 1. This is a nonsense inquiry and basically all this Trump minion has got. Not impressed. 2. NPR gets less than 1 percent of direct funding from the feds. This will impact local stations, which have broad support. 3. Brendan is an unctuous toady. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/30/b...

The Pasadena Humane Society has taken in >500 pets displaced by Eaton fire. Evacuees were forced to make devastating choices about pets. Some, terrified, hid or refused to leave. In other cases, owners were away from home & could not return www.latimes.com/california/s... by me for @latimes.com
