DOGE is supposed to cut govt spending, but its own funding has soared to $40M, most of it shifted from other agencies DOGE behaves like it has agency-level authority But, surrounded in secrecy, DOGE has refused to make information about its funding or staff public Can't have it both ways!

Ever wonder why, in the first days of this administration, deportations of immigrants made news, then...🦗? ICE is failing to match even the numbers Biden achieved POTUS promised 1500 arrests/day. Fewer than 600 are arrested Immigration reform is the job of Congress. When will they do their job?

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

When you understand the purpose of ASMR, you realize how truly reprehensible it was for Trump’s White House to make an ASMR video on deportation. For those not chronically online-this is a video explaining the purpose of ASMR & why the White House reel is so disturbing. youtu.be/cwMiWuzIpR4?...

Trump Republicans are attempting to drive down the worth of our nation and bury in its soil the sacrifices of our forefathers, to hide from our future the bloody past we own. Too many of our kin have died here in the name of Freedom for their fascism to come to fruition.

Tesla has a de facto federal tax rate of 0.4% over the last three years, rather than the 21% nominal federal corporate tax rate. Eliminating tax breaks from executive stock options & accelerated deprecation could have yielded an additional $2.2B in tax revenue over that same period. Jus' saying.

COLLINS: You wrote in fall 2023 that "Putin is to blame like Al-Qaeda was to blame for 9/11." Do you still feel that way or do you share the president's assessment as he says Ukraine is to blame? WALTZ: Well it shouldn't surprise you that I share the president's assessment on all kinds of issues

Alaska has the fourth-highest number of federal workers per capita—fish & game, forestry, and more—their jobs are being cut under the excuse of “poor performance.” Lisa Murkowski knows that’s a lie—so why won’t she just say, it’s a lie. Collins, Burchett, and the rest are just giving lip service.

🇺🇸🇺🇦 VoteVets stands with Ukraine. Putin’s war isn’t just about Ukraine—it’s about global security. If we abandon Ukraine, US Troops could be the ones fighting next. Supporting Ukraine means defending democracy and keeping Americans safe. We know what’s at stake. We won’t back down.

Robert Hooke looking at cork cambium under a microscope remarked that the little spaces looked like a monk's cell. Cell, from Latin 'cella' which means small room, as in 'cellar'. So you're just a big blob made of little rooms, just a giant hotel for nucleic acids, and I think that's beautiful.

There's so much to love about the Java Mouse-Deer (Tragulus Javanicus) in such a small package. No bigger than a rabbit, they're the smallest living ungulates & probably resemble the ancestors of all ruminants more than any other species. But let's look at their tiny blood cells! (📷: Levg)
