President Trump plans to impose 25% tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico this week, on top of an additional 10% tax he’s already placed on Chinese imports. You should expect prices to go up across a variety of categories, including food, clothing and cars.

There you have it.

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.

This will not be any kind of savings, even/especially for us.

A small activist group has called for an “economic blackout” and are urging consumers not to make any purchases online or in stores today, especially at major retailers. Here's a look at the impact it could have.

Judge Advocates General. He’s fired the top military lawyers in each service.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Regardless of how much coverage it gets, Trump aiming to install a military command that places loyalty to him above loyalty to the constitution needs to be a much bigger story.

This is very, very bad. Am working on a write-up, but let’s just say that firing military leaders for blatantly political reasons is wildly inappropriate; firing all the too lawyers is ominous; firing them all at the same time is a terrifying five-alarm fire

Paging DOGE: I found your government waste in your Trump. Fire him.

Elon Musk is making wild claims that #DOGE has found evidence of massive Social Security fraud.... The reality is that Musk's young engineers don't seem to be able to understand COBOL databases while Musk is misrepresenting the Social Security data www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

National Nuclear Security Administration officials are attempting to notify some employees who had been let go that they are now due to be reinstated — but they're struggling to find them because they don't have their new contact information. nbcnews.to/4104StF

The 50501 Movement has planned protests at all 50 state capitols and the U.S. Capitol on Presidents’ Day at noon. While mainstream media isn’t covering it, many YouTubers have stepped up to provide coverage.

is it woke to want to end cancer?

USAID, currently being shut down by Elon Musk, purchases about $2 billion annually in rice, wheat, lentils, and peas from American farmers.

SCOOP: A US Treasury threat intelligence analysis has designated DOGE staff an ‘insider threat'. An internal email reviewed by WIRED calls DOGE staff's access to federal payments systems “the single biggest insider threat risk the Bureau of the Fiscal Service has ever faced.”

Is this for real? Can anyone confirm?

“So many of these things are so wildly illegal that I think they’re playing a quantity game and assuming the system can’t react to all this illegality at once...” www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Over the last few weeks, President Trump signed several executive orders to freeze federal funds but he's going to have a hard time getting them passed. The Constitution gives Congress what’s called “the power of the purse," not the president. And it's going to affect where your tax dollars go.

Tens of millions of chickens have died as a result of the bird flu, and that’s sent the cost of eggs skyrocketing. But for business owners, the price increases can be tricky.

Speaking of healthcare. Let's make @bsky.app the platform that fights misinformation. Some great follows are @drsusanoliver.bsky.social @jsm2334.bsky.social @therealtruther.bsky.social Let's get them more followers and engagement than other platforms and let health science accounts find a home

We are having a “weather event” in Houston and they are still showing inauguration coverage rather than local news at 5pm?!? Give me a break. We’re supposed to get the worst winter storm since 1895, people.
