“Today, the US launched a trade war against Canada - their closest partner and ally, their closest friend. At the same time, they're talking about working positively with Russia, appeasing Vladimir Putin - a lying murderous dictator. Make that makes sense” Justin Trudeau Prime Minister of Canada

Europe has given more total aid to Ukraine than the United States. Donald Trump is lying when he says we’ve given Zelenskyy $350 billion. Full stop.

Now THIS is true leadership on the world stage. In stark contrast to the weak, ignorant clown we currently have in the White House. #SlavaUkraini 🇬🇧 🇺🇦

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

US Forest Service and National Park Service to fire thousands of workers

NEW: At least three more DOJ Public Integrity Unit senior officials have resigned after meeting with Emil Bove on the Eric Adams case. Five in Public Integrity overall. That’s six officials who resigned, triple the number that happened during the Saturday Night Massacre.

I'm hearing now that *every* technologist CFPB hired to investigate Big Tech was fired this evening. That's somewhere between 70-100 people. wired.com/story/dozens-of-cfpb-workers-terminated-in-after-hours-firing-blitz/

BREAKING: Consumer prices rose 0.5% in January, pushing the annual inflation rate to 3%, both higher than expected. Food prices jumped 0.4%, while energy prices surged 1.1%, driven by a 1.8% increase in gasoline costs. Make no mistake—inflation will only continue to worsen.

Thanks President Musk! You and VP Trump are reallly killing it! www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/b...

Nazinflation is terrible for the Middle Class. 😢 📈

i mean, no, to be clear, they do not. there isn’t a single republican member of congress in possession of a single ounce of self-respect. they hate us, sure, but they hate themselves, too, and they bow to their king with bile in their mouths.

buddy they already got your vote. for the next three years their vibe is they don't owe you shit

so they are going to fight inflation by causing a recession on purpose

Maybe they didn’t throw that game. #superbowl

This is the ad that has me crying

I am wowed by the #flutters #Posts on @bsky.app Clever. Classy. Hilarious. Go Birds. *%#^ tRUMP

Trump got boo’ed at the Super Bowl. LMAO.

I wonder how Depeche Mode feels about that one

Chiefs try to flood the right side with routes. Mahomes just never sees DeJean. This isn't even open without DeJean being there, though.

Coop bout to be a national celebrity

Trump saluted during the National Anthem instead of having his tiny hand over where his heart should be #SuperBowl

An internal email reviewed by WIRED calls DOGE staff’s access to federal payments systems “the single greatest insider threat risk the Bureau of the Fiscal Service has ever faced.” www.wired.com/story/treasu...

JUST IN: New York State Issues Notice and Order Requiring Cleaning, Disinfection, and Temporary Closure of all Live Bird Markets in New York City, Westchester, Suffolk and Nassau Counties. All live bird markets in NYC, Westchester, Suffolk, and Nassau shut down.

Congress LOCKED OUT OF government offices. OMG #COUP

COUP

While Trump has been distracting America with everything else, Elon Musk’s staffers are quietly taking over NOAA and the Department of Labor. They are also using AI to help rewrite a significant portion of the federal government’s computer systems.

Oh look, NOAA websites are mysteriously going offline now that Musk’s crew is in charge. Guess running a government is just as hard as keeping Twitter from crashing every other week. Who could’ve seen this coming?

Dickheads of Gargantuan Ego (DOGE) have now gained access to the IT servers at the NOAA. They have taken down several department websites, including the website that stores global CO2 data from observations taken in Hawaii. That data is still accessible here. keelingcurve.ucsd.edu

Experts question whether Edward Coristine, a teenage DOGE staffer who has gone by “Big Balls” online, would pass the background check typically required for access to sensitive US government systems.

A federal judge has just ordered Musk to get out of Treasury’s computers. We are fortunate there are good lawyers representing democracy. Normally that would end the matter, but in this era there are legit questions about compliance & enforcement. We live on the edge of a constitutional crisis.

I have colleagues in Silver Spring (NOAA HQ) who, let's just say "witnessed" Elon's team at facility and overheard them at various times. Apparently there was a conversation with "giggles" about plans to cancel non-SpaceX launch contracts thru NASA citing "inefficiency". That's pretty wild stuff.

Welp…we f’ing warned you Trump, just now, at a joint news conference with Netanyahu, said “the US will take over the Gaza strip, and we will do a job with it to. We’ll own it…level the site, level it out and create an economic development that will create an unlimited number of jobs and housing…”

I’m just glad so many on the far left taught Democrats a lesson by not voting!

It’s McCarthyism via executive fiat, directed by the world’s richest and most online man who thinks a thing called “the woke mind virus” has infected many parts of the federal government and will destroy “western civilization” if not ripped out root and branch. It’s John Bircher anti-communism, 2.0.
