Yet another child that Leon cares absolutely nothing about. Remember when Republicans used to think deadbeat fathers were a huge problem? www.vanityfair.com/style/story/...

The entire Colorado Republican Party is now on record as supporting violent felons over law enforcement. And they wonder why they keep losing elections www.denverpost.com/2025/02/21/c...

Trump just declared immunity for billionaire criminal tax cheats www.denverpost.com/2025/02/20/i...

How Trump’s mass layoffs raise the risk of wildfires in the US West, according to fired workers www.denverpost.com/2025/02/21/t...

Maybe marketing Tesla solely as Hitler Youth mobiles isn't the best long-term strategy www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/b...

Whether to serve as a platform for the US govt spreading obvious lies as part of a propaganda effort to undermine Ukraine is a choice for the press. They don’t have to do so, and they can explain why they will not if that is their choice.

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

Just in case anyone is tracking his house of lies www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/u...

So proud of everyone who is hitting the streets. Let's keep it up, Peeps!

I cannot state emphatically enough how much I hate that this is now a routine fact of my teaching career. I'd like to thank Silicon Valley so much for its contributions to our civilization.

If we don't have trusted officials who are willing to understand science, and who surround themselves with trained professionals, then everything from the safety of our food and water to the safety of our health care is at jeopardy. @drsmeena.bsky.social @drsforamerica.bsky.social

Just a few of the ways Trusk's attacks on USAID weakened America and harmed people around the globe in just one week

"We’ve never seen anything like this: an American president who sees more to like in a Russian dictator who poisons his opponents and sends missiles into civilian apartment buildings than he does in the people being poisoned and bombarded." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/o...

This was always about cutting the federal government so the tax cuts for the very wealthy don’t expire. This was never about “efficacy.”

The Real Reason President Trump Pushes Tariffs. It's definitely not to help the rest of us www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/o...

Kristi Noem’s week: • Sent 400 ICE agents to Colorado and made ONE arrest. • Got the Acting Director fired. • Played dress-up cosplay. • Cheated with Corey Lewandowski. • Wacked more puppies and goats.

My thoughts on last nights firings

It sure seems like the goal is to make Tesla the most toxic brand on the planet. Strange way of doing business

I told OPM what I did last week

Wise man…

“In some ways that’s even more chilling than firing the four stars,” Rosa Brooks, a professor at Georgetown Law. “It’s what you do when you’re planning to break the law: you get rid of any lawyers who might try to slow you down.” By NYT Greg Jaffe www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u...

Sending an email to employees asking them to list five things they did that week is a classic move from a manager who has no idea how to manage

The US government is now nonstop performative idiocracy.

I keep reading about federal employees who voted for Trump and are now shocked at what he’s doing. I genuinely wonder what they expected, given presumably they weren’t in a coma from 2017-2021.

DOGE’s Only Public Ledger Is Riddled With Mistakes. What did we expect? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...?

Well, someone sure sounds like Trump! www.businessinsider.com/russia-econo...

There will be even more pain: Independent analysis proves Trump's billionaire tax cuts come at the expense of working families www.epi.org/publication/...

Vote with your wallet. And be loud about why you're leaving toxic and cowardly companies behind

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

Everyone should know that Social Security is massively efficient. It's the most efficient program we have. Its overhead is only 0.5%. Cutting Social Security staff will do nothing to improve that and only result in problems with people getting the payments they are legally owed.

Life, politics, and live music. With a few select gigs coming up it was great to catch up with Paul Daley from @theguardian.com last week.
