The resignation of a federal employee must be voluntary. I highly doubt failure to respond to this email---sent on a Saturday---would be understood by any court to be a voluntary resignation.

I loaded up tiktok for the first time in forever and literally the first video it showed me was some idiot right-wing blonde spouting off about how Canada is a "bankrupt corporation" and how we're "taxed to death" and my decision to not engage with tiktok, in retrospect, was correct

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

The Pentagon will fire 5,400 civilian workers next week.

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

Donald Trump has spooked the housing market

Here's a straight line: In 2019, Pete Hegseth encouraged President Trump to pardon accused war criminals. In 2025, Pete Hegseth and President Trump fired the military's top legal officers.

Simply an assurance? That's all Dems are asking for in exchange for votes to keep the government running—votes the GOP desperately needs? No. No votes. The GOP has the majority. Let them figure it out. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

The largest measles outbreak in Texas in more than 30 years showed no signs of slowing down on Friday, rising to 90 cases across seven counties. www.houstonchronicle.com/health/artic...

200 million dollars of waste.

We can't afford air traffic controllers, but we can afford a $200 million government ad campaign thanking Trump. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

"While Florida insurers claimed to be losing money in the wake of hurricanes Irma and Michael, their parent companies and affiliates were making billions of dollars, according to a study obtained by the Herald/Times." And it appears that the DeSantis administration tried to keep it under wraps.

They Worked to Prevent Death. The Trump Administration Fired Them Public health teams are being gutted, imperiling efforts to safeguard organ donation, prevent maternal and infant death. Many workers expressed fear at what would happen to the work they left behind www.propublica.org/article/trum...

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

This is WSJ edit board’s second piece in a week raising escalating alarm about RFK Jr’s groundless & lethal anti-vax predilections and now policies (firing CDC vax experts) — and it pull punches in portraying him as no more & no less than a treacherous corrupt killer www.wsj.com/opinion/rfk-...

Heroin addict and roadkill enthusiast, RFK Jr. kills flu shot campaigns and cancels a major vaccination conference.

I'm about to drop a piece at The Atlantic on this Pentagon purge. As I warned, Trump is capturing Justice, Intelligence, the military. This is praetorianism, pure and simple.

Sure Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the CNO....but they fired the top JAG's in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Why would you fire the top lawyers in the armed services at night on a Friday? That's the part you should be freaking out about.

It’s a cult.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

NEW YORK (AP) — Dow tumbles 748 points, and S&P 500 has worst drop in 2 months after discouraging reports on the US economy.

That took a minute. "Stocks sold off on Friday as new U.S. data sparked concern among investors over a slowing economy and sticky inflation, leading them in search of safer assets." www.cnbc.com/2025/02/20/s...

Medicaid coverage for virtual visits ends April 1st. As someone who cares for children that live up to 8 hours away, this is DEVASTATING. Children, adults, elderly will all suffer. CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES The 5 calls app makes it easy!

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

This sort of gives away the "liberal deep state" nonsense. *There has never been a Director of the FBI who was a Democrat. *The Republican Directors were not targeting conservatives, if the word "conservative" has any meaning.

NEW: U.S. consumer sentiment plunges—down 10% from January over tariff and inflation fears. Most people I know think the economy is cooked thanks to Trump’s policies—designed to help the rich and screw working folks. He’s not doing shit to fix the economy or lower costs. Just broken promises.

🤣🤣🤣

Musk is throwing big bucks behind the Republican candidate in Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race, in an effort to ensure that the state, which swung narrowly for Donald Trump, remains steered by conservatives.

In a small trial, nearly half of pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine had no signs of relapse after three years. Dr. Vinod Balachandran from @mskcancercenter.bsky.social joins us to discuss the results and what they could mean for cancer treatment.

Dear @cnn.com, The judge did not “vacate” the trial. He adjourned it. Then he appointed an amicus curiae to argue against dismissing the charges. Who writes your headlines?
