Few realize what happened at USADF (not USAID). The situation got so tense that Trump and Musk's agents threatened to call the Marshals _and_ Secret Service to resolve the standoff...by force. It turns out that what they were doing was illegal—in fact, the most illegal thing "DOGE" has done yet.

🚨Measles cases in the US surge 35% in ONE WEEK—now at 222 in 12 states. We’re nearing last year’s TOTAL of 285, and it’s only March. Two deaths already, both unvaccinated. Texas is the epicenter with 198 cases. The CDC’s weekly data lags, so the numbers are likely even higher.

Trump is back at Mar-a-Fraudo this weekend playing golf games. It costs about $3M to transport a POTUS from DC to South Florida. That's enough money that USAID could feed around 250,000 kids for two weeks.

“By firing us, you’re going to cut down on how much revenue the country brings in,” said an axed IRS specialist who’d been brought in to audit complex tax returns filed by large corporations and wealthy individuals. “This was not about saving money.” By @andykroll.bsky.social

Today in Rhode Island, a federal judge told Trump to stop impounding funds allocated by Congress. It’s about more than just the money; it’s about making sure the president doesn’t make a grab for powers that belong to Congress under the Constitution. joycevance.substack.com/p/courts-to-...

The Commerce Department just made it easier for states and municipalities to use government subsidies to buy Musk’s Starlink internet service. When Musk's many ethics conflicts are tallied up, it will make Warren G. Harding’s Teapot Dome scandal look like a game of checkers.

Donald Trump targeted AP and legacy media did nothing. Donald Trump has now targeted two large law firms and Big Law is silent. You all read Martin Niemöller's poem “First They Came.” So, I ask you -- What are you doing?

Elon Musk has called for Amtrak and the Postal Service to be privatized. Be warned: this is a call to gut essential public services to pad corporate profits. Here are my 5 rules of thumb for when public services should NOT be privatized.

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget. Really think about how twisted this all is.
