No doubt last night’s purge reflects racism and misogyny. But those wrongs are just a cover for the far more serious evils and dangers that exist here.

I've read most of the analyses of the DOGE 2025 "receipts" site. This, from NPR, is the best I've read so far. Some of what they claim to have cut haven't been cut, other "cuts" will incur costs down the road. NPR says DOGE has made $2B of cuts, not $55B. www.npr.org/2025/02/19/n...

The Great Lakes states have, for years, been fighting an invasion of lamprey eels, which were devastating the fish stocks in the lakes. Trump fired the people who've almost succeeded in doing that. www.bridgemi.com/michigan-env...

The White House’s circulation of the phrase "long live the king" — and the accompanying imagery of Trump wearing a crown — stirred a flurry of immediate backlash.

Trump spent millions in tax payer dollars today for photo ops at the Daytona 500 as storms in Kentucky, Virginia, and West Virginia killed at least 8 people, injured many more, and caused total devastation…Oh yea, Trump wants FEMA abolished. youtu.be/_yqIudpInQM?...

Thanks to Elon Musk and Donald Trump, Republicans cut $190 million for pediatric cancer research from the funding bill. Congrats to DOGE on their first victory.

Note to feckless House Republicans: Regardless of what Elon Musk thinks, Trump’s so-called “mandate” did NOT justify slashing $190 million for 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 from the government funding bill. Restore the funding, you heartless bastards!

Gannett, owner of the Des Moines Register, won’t publicly commit to paying legal costs for Ann Seltzer, the pollster being sued by Trump. This is ominous, especially in light of the capitulation last week by Disney/ABC, which is vastly better resourced than Gannett. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/19/u...

Musk is not satisfied with being the de facto President of the United States. He is seeking to expand his power globally, pushing far-right xenophobes in the UK and Germany.

Elon’s supporters treat him like a child. Elon tweets disinformation & extremism and his supporters make excuses for him like he just doesn’t understand. Enough of that. Based on his tweet here, we must assume Elon is a xenophobic, antisemitic, Putin-loving neo-Nazi. www.politico.eu/article/elon...

1/Reminder: The AfD is not just any far-right party. Its leaders use Nazi slogans, members have been arrested for allegedly spying for the Chinese, and it is monitored as a suspected extremist group. Even the French National Rally has broken off relations. www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2...

I think this should be kind of a big deal: Elon Musk tweeting at 1:03am, “Only the AfD can save Germany.” The AfD is Germany’s neo-Nazi party.

So Elon Musk has endorsed Germany's AfD. I did Nazi that coming. OK, that's a lie. It was obviously where he was going. We can argue whether Trump fully fits the definition of a fascist, but Musk, who increasingly looks like the senior partner, isn't hiding it at all

There you have it. Elon Musk enthusiastically supports the neo-Nazi party in Germany, which also happens to be the most pro-Russian political party in Europe.
