BREAKING via AP Israel says it is cutting off its electricity supply to Gaza, a week after cutting off all supplies of goods to the territory. Israel has sought to press Hamas to accept an extension of the first phase of their ceasefire.

when I hear this nonsense I think of the evangelical family I grew up close to who had 4 girls and 1 boy - the girls did all the chores, even mowing the lawn, while the boy and his father, at all meals, got a real plate and cloth napkin while mom and the girls used paper plates and napkins

In today's episode, we check in on the Stand Up for Science rallies that spread to 32 cities. Listen here 🎧: buff.ly/YgplAQ4

5 things Trump did this week 1. Tanked the stock market 2. Falsely claimed Honda was building a new plant in Indiana 3. Flip flopped on tariffs again 4. Suggested the two stranded astronauts could fall in love 5. Flew to Florida to go golf

Chaos erupts b/t Trump's cabinet and Musk. New reporting from the NY Times: - Rubio, furious over Musk’s cuts to his agency, fired back after Musk mocked him: “You have fired nobody.” Rubio countered that over 1,500 State Department officials had taken early retirements, accusing Musk of lying. 1/

@aoc.bsky.social: "Listen, if your representative is not doing a town hall, give me a ring... I'll say it right here, right now: if a deep red Republican district wants to have an honest conversation, even if it's with someone they disagree with, I'm willing to do that."

Don't Look Up and Idiocracy were documentaries. We live in the dumbest timeline.

This is a lie... First of all town halls aren't being held in "arenas" they are being held in churches, schools and community centers. Second, 90% of the time you have to be a resident who lives in the district to register to attend with a valid address.

Have courage Stand up to bullies Be like President Zelenskyy

Worth noting that when the war started Zelensky’s English was very shaky and he’s clearly spent a ton of time improving it for exactly this purpose.

KNOBS AND CRANKS KNOBS AND CRANKS

bizarrely, this 1960s C. S. Lewis sci fi novel has its own version of D.O.G.E. called N.I.C.E. which, believing itself to be at the vanguard of human (post-human, actually) evolution, attempts a coup with unnamed employees hired to do unnamed work so they can replace the govt w/ a decapitated head

MUSK LOSES BIG IN GERMANY Germany’s CDU/CSU wins big, while the far-right AfD underperforms in second—despite backing from Elon Musk and JD Vance. AfD is now likely to be completely shut out of the governing coalition.

They fired a top Black general and are replacing him with a much less-qualified white general. They’re not hiding the racism.

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

And the FBI is instructing employees to ignore the email as well. Also reported earlier by NBC News.

Remember I saw the image of a plant when I asked if Trump was a Russian asset. It took me a minute…I was show he was a Russian plant in the US. I have no doubt at all I clairvoyantly saw the truth.

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

Is this the start. I am loathe to create false hope but this is the most credible I’ve heard so far, along with voter roll purges I spoke about before the election and immediately after. If this is correct it would be mandatory for states to investigate. youtu.be/6G8fu50VRXo?...

this is low hanging fruit for Dems and all protest movements: show the ppl that Trump's emissary is taking a chainsaw to their benefits

Reminder: Zelenskyy refused to leave Kyiv as bombs fell. Donold hid in a bunker from protesters with cardboard signs.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

Floating the idea of them stupid ass checks from DOGE is literally a distraction while they keep ruining the country. "Here's 5000 bucks, pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" (wizard of oz reference)

John Fetterman’s staff are leaving him in droves and there are awful rumors about how he treats them. Are we sure he’s not just three Kyrsten Sinemas sitting on each other’s shoulders in a hoodie? Our latest:

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Having worked in tech I couldn’t agree more, they literally are mediocre, average and refuse to acknowledge their privilege and lack of principles.

I can save him a trip, it’s literally not.

Trump's America is where plane crashes are becoming as frequent as school shootings.

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.

so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

Many of the passengers (if not all) got out ok.
