This is a stunning admission that should by itself trigger a Congressional investigation, if we had a Congress

REMINDER: Jeff Bezos knows nothing about journalism and paid way more for his yacht than the Washington Post. To him, they are both toys

SCOOP: Elon's favorite anon data expert, who's been appearing on NewsNation in sunglasses, isn't a govt. spending expert but rather a senior employee at an AI lending firm that's battled the CFPB for years. Me at @rollingstone.com www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Federal workers choose public service to serve our people, but the Trump administration wants to traumatize them. We need cancer researchers, forest service firefighters, nuclear safety experts, VA nurses and food safety inspectors. We don’t need Elon Musk, whatever his job is.

Another day, another plane incident NEW: An American Airlines flight from Boston aborted its landing at Reagan National Airport on Tuesday morning to avoid a plane taking off on the same runway, the FAA said in a statement

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

Remember when Republicans wanted to impeach Bill Clinton because big donors got to stay a night in the Lincoln bedroom? Seems quaint now.

Women need to stop breeding with this man. He's not a genius or a model specimen of manhood. And, according to this, he's not terribly interested in doing the work of an actual father.

This is awful. Children are paying for their parents' stupidity.

Why does Donald Trump and the Republican party want to hurt our veterans? I wish someone in the media would ask them publicly how they justify this!

Tim Burchett votes yes. massive cuts to health care for poor folks — all to set up massive tax cuts for the rich. They never cared about the debt.

A vote to cut Medicaid by $880 billion is basically a vote in favor of mass death.

A ‘whistleblower’ has claimed that the Jeffrey Epstein files are being permanently deleted.

Budzinski: "We saw just yesterday another round of layoffs at the VA -- 1,400 more people. When we're trying to address veterans suicide rates, when you're cutting jobs for folks that are actually answering those suicide hotlines, how is that in the service of our veterans?"

Wild. Bond villain stuff. Conflict of interest doesn’t even begin to describe this. The national security concerns here are off the charts. www.cnn.com/2025/02/25/b...

NEW: Google used to warn you when you were seeing low-quality search results. Then, in the weeks leading up to the 2024 election, the company quietly turned that warning off www.platformer.news/google-data-...

Holy shit. This is scary. Senator Chris Murphy just revealed on the Senate floor that Republicans now have the votes to cut $2 trillion in services for seniors on Medicare and kids on Medicaid. Tomorrow is the House’s vote. $2 TRILLION IN CUTS. The worst part 👇

The more you know…

Wow! So 1+1 really does equal 2. The Texas measles outbreak is hitting the area with the highest vaccine exemption rates. Shocking—if you ignore science.

Do Americans want to be aligned with Russia against all of our traditional allies in Europe and Asia? I don't think so

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

New from me: Meta decided to stop working with U.S. fact-checkers at the same time as it’s revamping a program to pay bonuses to creators with high engagement numbers, potentially pouring accelerant on the kind of false posts the company once policed: www.propublica.org/article/face...

PLEASE: Watch what happened in Coeur d'Alene Idaho today. This is fascism. Unmarked cops. 1A violations. RESIST.

Welcome to the RFK Jr Era of Public Health.

Statement from the Musk-appointed head of SSA celebrating the deletion of research grants studying the financial security of the older adults and the disabled. Just one way that the richest man in the world is dictating societal priorities. www.ssa.gov/news/press/r...

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…

For those following the story of unidentified men violently dragging a protester from a local Idaho GOP meeting, it turns out they were from a private security firm called LEAR Asset Management. But neither the sheriff (who watched it all go down) or the GOP will take responsibility for hiring them.

This was always about cutting the federal government so the tax cuts for the very wealthy don’t expire. This was never about “efficacy.”

Wow! What a great cover!

El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside down—the traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.

Van Hollen: "There's no Article 4 in the Constitution that gives Elon Musk that authority, and the way he's been 'delegated' this authority is illegal, and the actions he's taking are illegal, and we need to shut down this illegal operation."

This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick.

To my Republican colleagues: are you ok with this? Our dedicated workforce has been harassed, maligned and decimated by Trump-Musk. You have been silent. When will just two of you have the courage to stand with us and support the law and the public servants who work for America?
