Brilliant but devastating editorial in the Financial Times. “In the past 10 days, he [Trump] has all but incinerated 80 years of postwar American leadership. If you are not at the table, you are on the menu. America has turned.”

VACCINES SAVE LIVES Vaccines ended the COVID-19 pandemic. Vaccines and other public health measures save the lives of millions of children worldwide. Do not let RFKJr and the Trump admin take us back to a time when 5 in 10 children died before the age of 5. theconversation.com/infectious-d...

Nothing quite like being bullied by the richest man alive on a Saturday night. This unelected DOGEbag is threatening the livelihoods, careers, and wellbeing of ~2 million civil servants. We will hold the line, but we need America to stand/speak/act up NOW. 🥄🥄🥄🥄🥄

“RESIST. DO NOT COMPLY WITH THEIR ILLEGAL MANDATES.”Judge Ortiz emailed her EEOC colleagues after the anti-trans EO. She told me, “The unknown was not as scary as being complicit and not speaking up. I can exist on cornflakes and community at the end of the day if it means that my soul is intact.”

Toni reminds us that we each hold the power to heal by doing THE work. This weekend we're committed to: - taking our dogs for a walk - checking on 2+ fed friends - making a batch of veggie soup - calling our senators re the budget (& Medicaid's risk) What about you? Share your intentions. Goodnight.

Another starter pack for you all. We need to work TOGETHER to make it through this. Don’t forget to show the unions support. The labor movement required decades of fighting to build a better world for the working class. go.bsky.app/Fq6Re4B

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

Add up the claimed savings on the DOGE website and (right now )you get $7.19b from contract savings, and $0.14b from real estate, for a total of $7.3b, or $21.47 per American. Trump is talking about giving a "DOGE dividend" of 20% of these savings. Enjoy your $4.29.

Example here of NIH scientists being unready to deal with Trump and Musk. Aspects of the grants memo were blatantly illegal and the legal justification in it was stupid. They were given an hour? Someone at NIH should have noted the illegality and found a way to delay —then leaked it like crazy. 🧪

Since January 24, 12,722 people have died because of Trump’s freeze on PEPFAR funding. 1,224 of the dead are infants. These people would be alive if the election had gone differently. The lesser of two evils is, as it turns out, less evil. pepfar.impactcounter.com

The world’s richest man is attempting to take aid away from the poorest women and families around the globe. For decades, bipartisan USAID programs have empowered women & girls worldwide by combating gender-based violence, advancing maternal health, & more. DWC is fighting back.

Checking my bank account every day for a deposit from the government since I've been hearing about all the money they've been saving lately. Nothing yet but it's probably coming soon

I think we really need to repeat, and keep top of mind - The federal employee firings are NOT ABOUT SAVING MONEY. What is spent on those employees is peanuts compared to most of the money in the government. Firing federal employees sows confusion, depletes morale, and degrades government service.

🚨Elon Musk’s DOGE operatives are attempting to access confidential tax information — tax returns, bank data, Social Security numbers — for millions of Americans. Illegal access can lead to jail time under federal law. @wyden.senate.gov and I are investigating and fighting back.

A good general epistemic rule of thumb: If you have spent a few hours or weeks studying an area large numbers of smart, educated people have worked in for decades, and you believe you have discoverer an earthshattering truth they all missed, your default should be to regard this as VERY unlikely.

People need to understand this is a smash and grab. The billionaire oligarchs are looting the government right now. While most services and functions will be privatized and made worse, the real valuable heist is the data government has that Elon is stealing to feed his AI company.

Pure speculation: I wonder if Elon Musk and his minions are using the highly sensitive data they’re stealing to threaten judges.

If the Democratic leadership is conceding one-party rule, then the progressive wing of the party needs to step up and take the reins. We've had 33 long years of neoliberalism in the party. Time to try something else. The modern GOP is not interested in bipartisanship. Time to move on.

“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.”

So you know that "transgender mouse" study Nancy Mace was yelling about? It looks like it's just a study to see if hormone treatment in adolescent mice was permanent, so we can know if it is permanent or reversible in humans. Turns out it's not permanent. academic.oup.com/humrep/artic...

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.
