Monday thought:

from today's post — thank you for reading! link is here: bit.ly/3WTrsD1

James Comer had 2 years to dig into all this supposed govt corruption that Musk is “discovering.” That’s what Oversight Committee is supposed to do. Instead, he spent 2 years on Hunter Biden - which resulted in nothing except a James Comer book deal.

Just saying…

Leader Schumer and Leader Jeffries have introduced legislation to address Elon Musk's efforts to access delicate government systems through DOGE.   The Stop the Steal Act would 'prevent unlawful meddling in the Treasury Department's payment systems and protect Americans across the country.'

New: Representatives of Elon Musk's DOGE have been working at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services — officials have already gotten access to key payment and contracting systems. DOGE reps are also examining the agency's organizational design and staffing. www.wsj.com/politics/elo...

Breaking NYT: The CIA sent Trump's White House an unclassified email listing all employees hired by the agency over the last two years to comply with an executive order to shrink the federal work force — a move ex-officials say risked the list leaking to adversaries. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/05/u...

Trump's promise to dismantle the Education Department will likely be more costly for red states than blue. Trump states, on average, use more federal funding in their education apportions than states that voted for Vice President Harris. www.axios.com/2025/02/05/t...

The Proud Boys no longer have control over their own name. A judge has ruled the far-right group be stripped of control over the trademark 'Proud Boys' and barred from selling merchandise without the consent of a Black church in D.C. that its members vandalized. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/u...

Senate Democrats said they’ll hold the Senate floor all night in an attempt to delay a confirmation vote for Russell Vought, Trump’s pick to lead the Office of Management and Budget and a Project 2025 author.

Reuters: ELON MUSK AND HIS TEAM OF ENGINEERS AT DOGE HAVE A SECURITY CLEARANCE - WHITE HOUSE OFFICIAL

FLAG: Dozens of Head Start programs, which provide childcare and preschool education to low-income children, have been unable to access previously approved federal funding after Trump's funding freeze — putting programs at risk of having to close in the coming days. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

NEW: During a status conference on suit over DOGE’s access to the Treasury’s payment system, an attorney for the Justice Department claims that Elon Musk does not have access to the system. Two Musk allies—Marko Elez and Tom Krause—do have access, according to DOJ attorney Brad Humphreys.

here's today's post: "elderly Florida resident too frail to be outdoors in the cold" — cry me a river, cultists. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter to keep getting the good stuff —

to recap: — Trump was *for* the TikTok ban — which the GOP Congress passed — and the GOP Supreme Court upheld — and even though Biden said he wouldn't enforce the ban, TikTok shut down anyway — so that Trump could "save" it — and the media fell for it we really do live in the dumbest fucking country

@gtconway.bsky.social I don’t see anything “repetitive” here.

I wrote this article specifically for the dumbasses who think the Dark Ages were not so bad. It was a horrible time when rich oligarchs and the church ruled Europe in a Christian Taliban-style theocracy. And it was hell on Earth for working class peasants. Read a fucking history book.

Congratulations to @georgetakei.bsky.social for becoming the second account to reach one million followers on Bluesky! 🤟🏻 #NotMyPresident

Fox News: Pushes lie Gavin Newsom: Fact-checks and calls out lie Fox News: Pushes another lie And so on, and so on… #CaliforniaWildfires #LAWildfires

Q: Any bottom line message to the people of California? @governor.ca.gov Gavin Newsom: We care deeply about them. We have their back and we’re going to continue to come back until this is completely rebuilt. We will built back better and stronger. We know how to do this. #LAWildfires 🎥: 1/2

What’s on your reading list this weekend? I’ll be diving into The Big Picture to catch up on all things politics!

Trump can't own a firearm, but we're about to give him the nuclear codes.

Once again, Greenland and Denmark, we are very sorry about this —

And there you have it — Mark Zuckerberg receives a total endorsement from Elon Musk over Meta moving from third-party fact checking to “community notes.”

Donald Trump: “We’re going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. And it’s appropriate. And Mexico has to stop allowing millions of people to pour into our country. And we’re going to put very serious tariffs on Mexico and Canada.” WTF?

I was sure that the most unhinged thing I would hear Donald Trump say today is that he wants to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America — I was wrong. Minutes later Trump said that he can’t commit to not using military or economic coercion on Greenland or Panama.

How is renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America and using military and economic coercion on Greenland and Panama going to lower prices of eggs and milk? Just curious.

Strong leaders don’t bully or threaten allies. He does this to Canada, Mexico, Denmark (Greenland), and Panama because he is too weak to do it to our adversaries.

He’s already f*cking sh¡t up and he’s not even in office yet. And to think we have 4 years of this.

Thank you, Joe Biden — And thank you, Gavin, for not kissing the ring. #PalisadesFire
