Everyone needs to know this: House Republicans want to give trillions of dollars in tax breaks to millionaires, billionaires, and giant corporations—paid for by seniors in nursing homes, families trying to afford groceries, and kids counting on getting hot lunches at school.

Yes, this Cabinet — with a Fox & Friends drunk, a Real World airhead, a former heroin addict who beheaded a whale, a dog killer, a Russian stooge, a scandal-plagued wrestling executive, etc — this Cabinet is LITERALLY the best America has ever had. Thank you for that insight, Elon. Smart as ever.

we were gone for a week and a half and, knowing that snow was in the forecast, gave our upstairs neighbors ample warning of this (ordinarily my dude and i enjoy doing the shoveling). obviously they didn’t, texting us this photo of the nice tickets from the city we embarrassingly deserved.

nice to have safely landed back in boston and be back to civilization. here’s hoping that air travel is safe and commonplace when we next plan to go somewhere in august.

guess i’m gonna have to break the bad news to my colleagues that we can’t just ship the first thing we cobble together from mcmaster-carr junk bins and jagged, non-circular pla prints and call it a medical device.

Republicans are taking away health care from kids and grandparents to give Elon Musk even larger tax breaks. It's betrayal. Plain and simple.

What did Musk accomplish last week? He and Doge fired 350 workers at DOE without realizing they worked on nuclear security and then had to rehire them. Embarrassing and terrifying. By his own metric Musk should be fired.

that was an entertaining 0-0 instead of the other kind. #nerevs composure slackened in the last 20 or so, a lot more giveaways. as others noted, they sometimes can play all day around the 18, but seldom get inside of it with a plan intact. that’s going to have to improve.

Sergeant Gonell @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social sent me this picture. This is his call log. Each call is an automated Dept of "Justice" notification saying "The defendant you testified against is being released from the dept of corrections." Each defendant assaulted him.

quite a letoff for #nerevs there. if he’s offside, it’s by a knee or a half a foot. they need a sub about now.

i liked that half from #nerevs. the part that i saw had them dictating play pretty consistently apart from a couple very revsy lost marks in the 6 (new cbs fitting in already). one real quality chance that probably should have been scored, they need to work some better shots.

This is our city. We’re going to continue following & enforcing the laws to keep all Bostonians safe. And it goes without saying that our police commissioner has my complete confidence & support.

this is true, but in our defense, most people in these luxury neighborhoods are evangelical about it and (even if not actively yimby) want this for every neighborhood.

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...

in the last ironic thing before whatever doom awaits us, trump and musk are left to contemplate their folly as someone undercuts them when they already thought they sold their country for the lowest possible price.

today for the first time in 40+ years of loving everything space, i laid eyes on a rocket launching. just going on up there in a routine sort of way like in science fiction. science fiction would also probably have predicted that the owner of the rocket is bent on destroying the world.

Russ Vought set up a CFPB snitch line where you can report any work by the agency still trying to do its job as legally mandated by Congress. It would be a real shame if this was flooded with false tips and wild goose chases... x.com/CFPB_tipline

This is an absolute scandal. Trump and Marco Rubio abandoned American workers and their families abroad, delaying waivers to provide for their safe return to the United States. As these civil servants lost their possessions, housing, and money, Elon Musk was slandering them with bogus accusations.

we let them assert for decades that anything that any government did was intrinsically somewhere between useless or done badly. it’s gonna take a lot of work to help people understand what’s being taken from us. the good news is, we’re bad at saying it, they won’t listen, and nobody will cover it.
