A team of workers from the DOGE developed step-by-step plans for carrying out President Donald Trump’s order to purge diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives from the federal government—& over the next 6 months intend to expand that campaign dramatically. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

It's official: NEW YORK (AP) — Justice Department asks court to dismiss corruption charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

You know Kate Winslet in Contagion? Where she runs into a hot zone, risking her life, so Americans could be safer? She was an EIS officer. That’s who was just fired at CDC today. EIS officers. And many, many more public servants fighting every day for your health.

The Trump admin has "disrupted the response" to bird flu by withholding reports and canceling meetings with both Congress and state health officials, leading to confusion and concern among federal staff, states, veterinarians and health experts. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

CDC source: “We just had word that all our fellows and post doc staff are laid off effective immediately. The famous Epidemic Intelligence Service, aka the Disease Detectives, is no more. That’s 1260 staff. They are calling this ‘Phase 1’.”

RFK Jr said he wants to send folks who are taking antidepressants and ADHD medications to "wellness farms" in rural America where they will be forced to labor by growing organic food to "cure their addictions." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

once again, a "constitutional conservative" is without fail a bootlicker looking for a boot

JD Vance just met with Alice Weidel, the head of the anti-immigration, nationalist Alternative for Germany party. Vance is the most senior U.S. official ever to meet with a leader from the party.

New reporting shows corporations are funneling $$ DIRECTLY to paying off Trump and his family. $40 million from Amazon $10 million from Elon Musk's X Then, Trump cuts their taxes. Trump's family gets rich. Your family gets screwed. Corruption, plain and simple.

no the fuck we are NOT making “LGBQ+” a thing and if I see any of you motherfuckers using that acronym it’s on sight Marsha P. Johnson did not smash in the windshield of a police car for this

I rode the back of the bus. I buried Dr. King. You want me to participate in your little hate-a-thon against some other group? Kindly kiss my black ass.

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: NBC News has obtained a letter from then-acting U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Danielle Sassoon alleging that NYC Mayor Eric Adams' attorney proposed a "quid pro quo" to Trump's Justice Department. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Breaking — All probationary employees at OPM were just fired in a mass phone call. Acting Director Chuck Ezell told staffers, "I encourage you to use this as an opportunity for your next step forward," per recording I reviewed. On site staffers were given less than an hour to leave.

Nice thing about this cabinet is that it’s a cure for imposter syndrome. If you ever think “I’m not qualified to do that” there’s always someone say, running public health, who’s even less qualified.

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

I'd like to urge my American fans to call their state representatives & strongly advocate against voting for the SAVE Act, which takes voting rights away from millions of people, especially women, minorities, & those in rural areas. Click to learn more: www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

From @theathletic.bsky.social: The Department of Education has rescinded Title IX guidance that stated NIL payments must be proportionate between a university’s male and female athletes. nyti.ms/40Z3Z4i

Garcia: "I find it ironic that our chairman, Rep. Greene, is in charge of running this committee. In the last Congress, Chairwoman Greene literally showed a dick pic in our Oversight hearing, so I thought I'd bring one as well. This, of course, is President Elon Musk ... "

NYT and WaPo place big stories on Musk’s successful effort to de-regulate his business — and himself.

today we published a big package of interviews with the people and institutions on Trump's hit list: trans people, immigrants, scientists, lawyers who serve whistleblowers...it's an incredible collection www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

it is genuinely incredible that all you have to do is scratch the surface and it becomes clear that each of these guys is a huge piece of shit

Associated Press: “Today we were informed by the White House that if AP did not align its editorial standards with President Donald Trump’s executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, AP would be barred from accessing an event in the Oval Office.“

The wonderful Mike Luckovich

my view is that as soon as the administration froze disbursement of congressional appropriations we entered constitutional crisis territory

gritty has seized control of the federal government

An American flag built on the backs of Black people... Black music protesting white political terror in registers they never hear; reminiscent of ancestral spirituals embedded with instructions for runaways All this in New Orleans... What a moment

Employees at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau received an email on Sunday saying the bureau’s headquarters would be closed for the coming week. The move follows another directive telling agency employees to halt nearly all their work.

At Cabaret yesterday, Cliff said his line “…if you’re not against all this then you’re for it. Or you might as well be”. The audience interrupted the scene to applaud that line so strongly it stopped the show. Doing a show about the onset of fascism right now is. . . chilling.

just over here photoshopping muppets onto the cover of elle magazine: thread

They’ve called armed federal officers to the scene. We aren’t dangerous. We are here to represent our people. To defend public education. This is an authoritarian regime. You cannot block members of Congress from entering the Department of Education.

please stop telling people that x, y, or z "is a distraction." we've been doing this for nearly a decade now. all the things are the things. theyre all the fights. its like arguing that japan attacking in the pacific was a distraction from hitler attacking in europe. its all the war.

So the FBI could surveil & then assassinate a 21 year old Civil Rights leader in 1969, but is powerless to take any steps to stop--checks notes--a 19 year old who goes by the name Big Balls from defunding and defrauding a $6 Trillion economy? Do I have that right?

It feels really festive that a Black church took away the Proud Boys control over their own name for Black History Month.

RFK, Jr. has been advanced along party lines by the Senate Finance Committee and will likely be confirmed. Mark my words: he will miserably fail as HHS Secretary and resign in disgrace. I am begging Dem lawmakers to spend the rest of this week blanketing all new media about his history. (1/2)
