Who did this?

🚨 CBS News has received an internal NSA bulletin from Feb 2025 warning staff NOT to use Signal app for sensitive info, citing vulnerabilities to Russian hackers. These docs were sent pre-Houthi chat scandal with Jeffrey Goldberg.

It’s like Watergate, only in this version Nixon directly mails the tapes to Woodward and Bernstein

Tesla employee, just like the Tesla owner.

The deal is I punch you in the face How about I give you $50 instead Nope, I want to punch you I’ll buy you dinner but no violence Sorry, I really like to punch Ok, what if you slap me medium-hard It’s a punch in the face or nothing Ok fine, punch me. I can’t be blamed for obstructing a deal

There were howls of protest and denial from the GOP any time we pointed out that Republicans want to cut Social Security. Now the most powerful official in the White House goes on TV and calls it "the big one to eliminate."

Mel Gibson can’t own a gun because he pleaded guilty (to reduce his sentencing) to battery against his girlfriend after she recorded him bragging about it and threatening to do it again. The recordings also contained rape threats and use of the n-word.

My hometown paper, The Stamford Advocate, isn’t afraid to report the truth. Why is WaPo?

My daughter's daycare just sent out an email about potentially needing to layoff staff because new babies about to start withdrew because of parental job losses. So if you're wondering how government layoffs and mass contract cancellations will affect the economy, here's an example

Holy shit!! Trump just slipped on live TV that he lost the 2020 presidential election. Trump would HATE it if this goes viral:

“Speak up, speak out, get in the way. Get in good trouble, necessary trouble, and help redeem the soul of America.” – John Lewis

Things are a shitshow right now, so please take a moment to enjoy this recent photo of the destitute outcast Rudy Guiliani on a scooter in Walmart shopping for hair dye. You’re welcome. 🙃 Photo ~ TMZ

Email list for all DOGE employees Please ReSkeet!

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

NEW: The Department of Justice says it will no longer fight to protect the right of pregnant people to emergency abortion care. While a judge has temporarily blocked Idaho’s ban on such care, patients’ lives could still be at risk because of the Trump administration's actions.

People were killing themselves and eating their own horses to survive during the Depression. And I never forgot the book The Grapes of Wrath describing how the Salvation Army made people crawl on the dirt and bark like dogs to amuse them in the bread lines.

Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

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

Australian newspaper "The Sun-Herald" opinion piece calls it out. American msm, take notes.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

I’m somehow on a Heritage Foundation mailing list (😂) and they sent a survey to see what we think of DOGE. Who wants to offer some m-fing feedback?!? secured.heritage.org/the-heritage... Please share with a friend or a thousand :)

If you’re queer, you’re here, but also there in DHS’s surveillance www.advocate.com/politics/dhs...

Breaking: FDA's March meeting to select flu shot strains for 2025-2026 season has been canceled per email sent to committee members, a VRBPAC member told me. drug companies need about 6 months leeway to make shots in time for fall vax campaigns. #healthpolicy

Reporter: Migrants who were in Guantanamo Bay say they were shackled and placed in cages and say they were not treated as human beings. Any response to those conditions? Leavitt: It’s a promise the President campaigned on

@adamserwer.bsky.social nails it here--the real goals of the attack on DEI. Read and share. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

A new bat coronavirus that has the capacity to spread to humans, similar to the one that caused the COVID-19 pandemic, has been discovered by a Chinese researcher. Good thing we are completely prepared this time. www.newsweek.com/new-coronavi...

We now interrupt your doom-scrolling to remind you: -you are still here -you still matter -there is still hope -there are still things you can do -there are still ways you can show up -the fight is long from over -don't feel bad for resting -take a breath, take a break -we still have each other

It would be a shame to encourage folks to use banned book lists to do strange things like -check them out regularly at the library -request the library order them if they don’t have them -buy them -start or support banned book clubs -organize a banned book kids story time A real shame

The good news is i saved you 60 billion dollars. The bad news is that is a typo i saved you 600 dollars and also your plane is falling out of the sky

Incredible. After years of accusations about “pharma shills” from antivaxxers, MAHA types, etc., someone actually took a massive cash bribe from Pfizer, and it was Donald Trump, not your community pediatrician.

What the actual fuck?! America, it’s time to rise. When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty!

Shocked, I tell you. www.texasobserver.org/ice-prosecut...

Former 🇺🇸 ambassador to Russia 👇🏽

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

Thank you to everyone who has joined the resistance! Our ranks grow stronger every day.

As a journalist who covers extremism at the local level, I think it’s a mistake to view Trump’s Napoleonic statement as solely about presidential power. Consider if it’s interpreted as a wink and a nod for any extremist to act outside the law to “save” the country as they see fit

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

In 3 days, the number of measles cases in a highly unvaccinated area of Texas has doubled. There are now 48 cases, all of whom are unvaccinated, and 13 of whom have been hospitalized so far, for a hospitalization rate of 27%. This is huge figure in epidemiology. This outbreak will keep spreading.

Woof

I present to you all the notice that now is displayed on the CDC HIV prevention page. Again - In these times, find a healthcare provider you trust, who follows evidence based practice grounded in science. Follow trusted sources of information.

I am going to be so pissed if--after everything--I do, in fact, die of dysentery.

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!
