If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

This is a program for teenagers with serious disabilities who are finishing high school and transitioning to their next steps in life. Trump just axed it, effective immediately, in the middle of the night, with no notice.

On this #PresidentsDay and every day

Even worse incompetence: they accidentally fired, then apparently today un-fired, hundreds of the people who manage America's nuclear weapons.

BOOM 💥 Googler and big tech cartoonist Manu Cornet suggests an update to Google's mantra...

Trump’s fight over the name of the Gulf of Mexico is both the stupidest fight and the most serious fight over the survival of truth.

CFPB - closed USAID - closed Medicaid - under attack NIH cancer funding - frozen Department of Education - under attack But do you know who just got a NEW government contract for $38,858,978 literally today? SpaceX — owned by Elon Musk

Spread the word NO ONE VOTED FOR MUSK

Well… today I have my first DOGE subcommittee hearing along with a Judiciary hearing, all while DC is snowed in! If I had normal coworkers & the country wasn’t going to hell lead by DOGE Douchebags, I’d say, “nothing to see here,” but something tells me, today is going to be pure insanity…

@borowitzreport.bsky.social for the win once again. open.substack.com/pub/borowitz...

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

PornHub should do a wrap-up of your year like Spotify does.

Picked up some reading material from the Current Events shelf

It would be fantastic if major federal institutions would acknowledge that the executive branch cannot legally unilaterally cancel or redistribute congressionally appropriated funding on ideological grounds and thus they have no legal obligation to comply with such directives

I'm such a "who the fuck touched my…never mind, I found it”, type of person.

i'm tired of being told to stop doomscrolling. i'm just scrolling, it's not my fault there's doom on there

Thank you @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social for publishing my Op-Ed today. RFK Jr.’s “confirmation would undermine public health and betray hardworking health care professionals and researchers who work relentlessly to keep our patients safe and healthy” www.seattletimes.com/opinion/a-nu...

It's pretty crazy that someone can be charged federally with interfering in an election and those charges get dropped just because they win an election. Make it make sense. #TrumpCoupAttempt

Everything is dumb and terrible, and it's gonna be dumb and terrible for a while. It’s important to do what you can to make it less dumb and terrible, and it's important to find a way make some contentment for yourself in spite of everything being dumb and terrible.

STOP. ASKING. CHATGPT THINGS. TO OWN IT. We all know it's bad and it can't count the number of Rs in strawberry. Quit boiling the planet with your fucking dunks

Actually, I went bald on purpose so no one can ratatouille me.

this is the entire article

We all have an emotional support dead famous guy and who he is says a lot about you.

Jack Smith report confirms Donald Trump engaged in an 'unprecedented criminal effort' after losing the 2020 election and DOJ would’ve secured a criminal conviction. Thank you Garland for failing to do your one job, and thank you Biden for failing to replace Garland when you knew he was a failure.

So 1) He was guilty 2) We could prove he was guilty 3) But we took so damn long that instead he gets to be the most powerful person in the world, again, and is now officially above the law. I'm glad the report is coming out but its hard to imagine a more damning indictment of our legal system.

yeah man, he loudly and openly tried to violently overthrow an election he lost. Good thing everyone moved with deliberate haste to ensure that he was convicted for it years before he ran for president a third time and won outright!!! www.nytimes.com/2025/01/14/u...

Perfectly depicted.

Its hard to celebrate Trump found as a felon without a sentence. Its not how the rule of law should work.

Every time Musk weighs in on something he reveals that he lacks even a failing undergraduate's comprehension of the subject at hand, and you'd think that would be disqualifying but the thing is that the political movement he's at the front of values and promotes stupidity

As a result of one the slimmest electoral margins in our history, the madman who incited an attack on our Capitol after the last election gets to be sworn in after this one on the steps of the very building he wanted attacked, and he has the f’ng NERVE to cry about half-staff flags for Jimmy Carter?

They want us to memory hole tearing down the American flag to fly Trump’s.

I hope #Kamala is curled up on a soft, cushy couch at Number One Observatory Circle in front of a fire with her beverage of choice. I hope she is being waited on hand foot tonight like the fucking QUEEN she is.

Seems like a great time to have a totally unqualified HHS director.
