The Clinton emails team at NYT seems awful quiet about Musk's cyber security protocols

Get a load of this asshole in his campaign ball cap.

This treasonous piece of shit needs to be shut down.

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

If any conservative person I ever talk to in any context brings up the deficit I will be hard pressed to not kick them in the shins.

… what are we doing here @thedailybeast.bsky.social

Just turned my mom onto @5calls.org and she’s going to alert all her friends in the retirement community she lives in, too. I call EVERY weekday. Every single one.

This is re: Trump's EO to ban trans persons from the military. Reyes is a federal judge. If I got this etherized in court I'd walk into the fucking sea. bsky.app/profile/mike...

SWAN: DOGE and SpaceX employees are now working directly at the FAA and DoD, agencies that have billions of dollars of contracts with Musk's companies or regulate them. How is that not a conflict of interest? TRUMP: Well I mean, I'm just hearing about it

I have called @fetterman.senate.gov, Sen David McCormick, and Rep John Joyce damn near every day on some issue. Today I yelled, yes yelled, about Musk rooting through IRS records. I hope I am one of THOUSANDS.

No one could’ve predicted that Trump would so many of the things that he said he would do.

Federal employee terminations will cause widespread economic damage even beyond the hardships for specific employees How many federal workers live in your state or county or congressional district? I made an little interactive site to tell you economic.github.io/federal_work...

The White House official message for Valentines Day. I am appalled.

An extraordinary reputation of Trump, Bondi & Bove— from a conservative Scalia clerk who was chosen by Trump to lead SDNY. While longer than Robert Welch’s famous, “have you no shame” response to Joe McCarthy, no less historic. If the GOP Congress had as much … 1/2 www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

The level of petty.

This is very very useful

New day, new lawsuit against the Trump admin: latest challenging the halt of USAID funds, brought by plaintiffs incl. private contractors, small business group, nonprofits and the American Bar Association (gets $ for int'l rule of law programs) assets.bwbx.io/documents/us...

Barbara Kingsolver has done something amazing (in addition to being a great writer). I found Demon Copperhead very hard to read because of the realities of the opioid epidemic. Now the book's royalties (it's a bestseller) will fund a rehab centre

Democrats fought for you in the house and senate today, but they didn’t do it alone. Thanks to people following @indivisible.org & joining together to call our reps, Democrats showed strength & patriotism thanks to being emboldened & cheered on by their constituents. Keep calling! Spread the word!

NEW: A lot has been written about the young DOGE kids but what about their headmaster Tom Krause? Moe Tkacik finds that he was the cleanup CEO in one of the most scandalous recent private equity buyouts, adopting the same techniques of ransacking the workforce that we're seeing DOGE do now:

The incompetence is terrifying

KEEP CALLING KEEP CALLING

And all those petulant protest and stay-home voters who seemed to think Trump was preferable to Harris. They sure showed us.

President Elmo, the richest man in the world, instead of being a philanthropist, has decided starving babies and stealing life saving meds from them is much better. We are on day 14.

Foreign aid is less than 1% of the federal budget. General James Mattis once told Congress, “If you don’t fund the State Department fully, then I need to buy more ammunition.” USAID’s work prevents conflicts before they require military intervention.

Opinion | Republican policies will increase the cost of nearly everything I buy, while lavishing benefits onto billionaires. But Democrats are insufficiently racist. I have never felt more politically homeless.

Corporate Media destroyed Clinton over her document security & retention policy because she ran her own email through personal server. Musk has a bunch of non-government people accessing (stealing?) personally identifiable information on every person & company in US for unknown (nefarious) purposes.

Stop what you’re doing and read this.

This tweet sent out 14 hours BEFORE the crash needs to be immortalized in stone. Or on a plaque in every ATC tower. Or on a disclaimer before every Mayday: Air Disaster episode. Or on an Amber Alert type system to every American. Or on a stamp. Or maybe currency. Something.

THHHHIIIIISSSSS

Take heart, folks: schools are so underfunded that elementary schools won’t be able to replace classroom maps.

It’s too much. 💔

One hot tip for the White House in case the tech oligarchs didn’t mention it: AI can correct spelling mistakes.

REPORTER: You would agree it's never acceptable to assault police officers? TRUMP: Sure REPORTER: Among those you pardoned is a guy who used a stun gun on a police officer. Why does he deserve a pardon? TRUMP: Well, I don't know

THESE are the people that Donald Trump just pardoned. Meanwhile, one of Joe Biden's final act was to grant a preemptive pardon to the POLICE OFFICERS that dared to testify to Congress. #J6Pardons

Come the fuck on you absolutely fucking sellout knee bending fucks at ESPN.

I really, really, really hope JoAnn doesn’t go under and am so sad about the bankruptcy news but wish to be on record that I will never shop at Hobby Lobby. EVER.

Yeah see I'd be on all the shows with that quote.

🥲

I have never understood the point of blimp coverage of football games played in indoor stadiums. #cottonbowl
