Officials at the FAA have directed staff to identify tens of millions of dollars to fund a Starlink deal for upgrading air traffic control communications. Staff has been instructed to find the funds while minimizing documentation and avoiding a paper trail.

I've never had to clarify that I'm not a Nazi. You?

Every accusation is an intention.

“No Other Land” won an Oscar for documenting Israeli violence in Palestinian village Masafer Yatta. Director Basel Adra’s cousin was shot there by an Israeli settler over a year ago — and no one was arrested. Read @infinitejaz.bsky.social’s piece: zeteo.com/p/israeli-se...

DOGE and the Trump administration are now targeting NOAA, carrying out yet another part of Project 2025. Last week, hundreds of employees were fired from their posts at the agency in a blow to our environment and our economy.

After years of falsely claiming that MMR vaccines cause autism, RFK Jr. has published a new op-ed on Fox’s website encouraging people to get the vaccine amid a measles outbreak that has already resulted in the death of a school-aged child.

This guy is so deeply corrupt. newrepublic.com/post/192150/...

Israeli authorities are violating the International Court of Justice’s legally binding orders in South Africa’s genocide case by denying the entry of lifesaving aid and services into Gaza. Ceasefire or not, Israel is obligated legally as the occupier to facilitate entry of aid.

Maybe dem reps could hold their own state of the union on the Capitol steps. Steal the spotlight. Let members like AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Max Frost, and the DNC make remarks. Norms don't exist. Buck them.

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country. This Friday, where will you be? standupforscience2025.org

Good morning.

Trump and Musk's dismantling of government "has a very familiar smell to it. It’s the stench of the kind of vulture capitalism that has demolished newsrooms across the country in a quest for greater revenue for shareholders." New from @justinglawe.bsky.social:

Expect more of these brown shirts showing up everywhere to suppress protestors as his fascism escalates.

We've joined the Legion of Doom.

Secretary of Defense Hegseth says he doesn’t know if Russia invaded Ukraine. This you?

Good.

Barney Brown was a true New York baseball icon. He was a four-time Negro League All-Star. His passion for baseball and his time in the New York Black Yankees helped shape the legacy of one of the most important teams in New York, leading the fight for equality in sports.

Put all the “DEI” folks who got let go onto a new network and I’d watch the shit out of it.

Axios: Musk has fired a number of employees who staff the veterans’ suicide hot line.

Get the word out on these special elections We win these three and we take the house No more trifecta No more BS from Trump We need people in these districts to step up and fight for it Contact your friends and neighbors and raise hell gayforcongress.com joshweil.us blakegendebienforcongress.com

Dolly Parton spoke.

In the past, when presidents tried to trim the number of government employees, the result was not lowering the cost of the government. This is because those jobs were often given to private contractors at higher rates. So it is no coincidence that a big private contractor is running this DOGE scam.

Ready Fire Aim is a lousy way to govern.

The organization RFK Jr formerly led is actively putting information out stating that the measles vaccine is to blame for this outbreak, not declining vaccination rates. It’s a lie. The measles vaccine is both incredibly effective and very safe. His rhetoric is responsible for these realities.

Some sound advice:

Confirmed to be an unvaxxed child. We have to talk about the foreign influence campaigns around vaccines. Hostile intelligence agencies — and their useful idiots in the US — are convincing the “do your own research” crowd to kill their children to own the libs.

Newsweek: OK Republican Shane Jett opposes a bill to ban the beating of cognitively disabled students in schools because it’s contrary to scripture -Proverbs 22:15, the rod drives folly from children, and “spare the rod, spoil the child”. Jett says its socialist not to beat cognitively disabled kids

Yes, there's a big difference between the parties. One is working FOR Americans And one is working AGAINST us. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory #Opposition

Just heard from a friend who is a true hero veteran. His company was destroyed in 30 days by the VA when they canceled 5 contracts without notice. 23 Americans mostly veterans out of work and a veteran owned small business destroyed. For nothing. They're dismantling the VA not "reforming" it.

If you have scripture on your tongue and hate on your agenda, kindly shut up and take a damn seat. You are what is wrong with this country right now.

Yes, raping a 15-year-old *is* bad but, on the other hand, he closes his business on Sundays to prove how much holier he is than you, so it all evens out. #ThePublicSanctimonyOfPrivatelyAwfulPeople

NEW: So today in DOGE order just went out that all civilian DOD credit cards are immediately frozen/can't be used. This applies to people who are in the midst of DOD official travel. So maybe you're in Albania and your credit card just stopped working. Or maybe you're on travel from ...

What’s the purpose of this? There’s already very limited wiggle room in the turnaround from the meeting to vaccine production. If this isn’t rescheduled quickly, vaccines won’t be ready before peak flu season.

“For Martin, it seems, Trump is not only “King” but the Lord, too.” Read @premthakker.bsky.social's piece on US District Attorney Ed Martin, who refuses to sign an arrest warrant for a GOP lawmaker accused of assault. zeteo.com/p/trumps-law...

Reading about the Rupert Murdoch family trust mess. My favorite anecdote is when Rupert’s lawyer cross-examined his son James, trying to get him to admit that his plans to make Fox News more honest would hurt its value because it’s business model was to just tell viewers what they wanted to hear. 👀

It really is reasonable to ask how we could possibly ever forgive our fellow Americans for voting for what is happening to us right now and what is going to continue to happen for years and years. I mean the simple answer would be... we just don't, right? Ever? Because some things are unforgivable?

This news truly breaks my heart. We are calling on HHS to take immediate action. Secretary Kennedy needs to bring back weekly measles tracking from the CDC, rehire the health experts, and roll out a serious vaccine campaign. Our kids' safety is on the line! abcnews.go.com/Health/1st-m...

Let me translate two things this libertarian light nincompoop is saying: Personal liberties means doing whatever the fuck I want. Free markets means doing whatever the fuck I want. He’s an adult toddler.

Tesla’s shareholders just lost another $38,640,000,000 today — a total $TSLA loss of $600 billion since December. Tesla’s CEO was not in the office. In literally any other public company ever, this would be the point where the CEO gets fired.

💥 BREAKING: At John Deere's annual shareholders meeting today, shareholders overwhelmingly rejected an anti-DEI proposal brought by the same group that targeted Costco and Apple. An anti-DEI proposal from the NCPPR received less than 1 percent of votes. Deere shareholders: DEI is in. Bigots are out
