We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social

If you consume fox news dot com you would have no idea that Musk is taking over the Treasury, or that Trump initiated a trade war with our allies.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

There's joy to be found in music and discovery. Since taking over Ossian, I have discovered so much new music. The "Pure drop", classics, experimental, old albums from friends I hadn't known about, pretty much anything Scottish.

SCOOP: Remember the "J6 Prison Choir"—the Jan. 6th defendants whose recording of the national anthem Trump loves? Kash Patel produced it. And he's refused to identify who actually sang in it. Turns out they were violent offenders: www.thebulwark.com/p/what-trump...

Have the geriatrics in charge of the Dems actually said anything, especially so forceful?

it’s becoming increasingly clear the goal of the far right is to defund and buy up every source of reliable information until there is no more objective reality to counter them

"The whole general crisis of 1914-1945 can be understood as a series of Great Powers trying to improve their political position by forcibly imposing an obsolete framework on a complicated modern world they didn’t understand, with increasingly catastrophic results."

We’re getting a horrific glimpse at the possible future. Widespread, cataclysmic climate change tragedies made worse by austerity and blamed on minorities by the Right, who will use their power to enable the wealth class as they continue to profit It doesn’t have to be this way. We can change this.

Funny thing about climate change is that our response to it is to throw democracy out the window, which sucks all the oxygen out of the room for fighting climate change. Pretty clever that.

THREAD: In 2023, I received an envelope with no return address. Inside was a flash drive containing tens of 1000s of secret files. It came from a vigilante with a tumultuous past, who'd conducted a years-long undercover operation. He didn’t tell the FBI or his family. He only told me.

"There is so much repellently sleazy behavior documented in the House Ethics Committee report about Matt Gaetz that a reader has to stop every few pages to look away and focus on what still seems astounding: This is the man that Donald Trump wanted to be the attorney general of the United States"

A very smart piece by Helen Lewis.👇 "We have to let go of the notion that “mainstream media” is a category reserved only for journalists guided by a professional code of ethics, a mission of public service, and an aspiration toward objectivity or at least fairness."

Good. It’s horrific how other platforms abused their reach to strangle local, independent, and national outlets alike. I WANT to see news and actual vetted work and I WANT journalists to get rewarded for it. Because I want to live in a thinking human world over some AI generated slop dystopia

Reality for Musk/DOGE: “While federal spending has grown sharply and regulation is arguably in need of correction, there is no such long-run trend in federal employment, and firing lots of federal workers would not in itself result in much savings or deregulation.” www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...
