If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

Working in (local) government, I’ve seen the bureaucracy absolutely destroy poor leadership more than once. Step up your game federal employees.

Of all the dangerous moves being made by this administration, this may be the dangerousest.

if you need some good news today, in less than an hour, the final episode of andrea mitchell reports will air. after 17 years on that show and having covered every president since Andrew Jackson, she will finally be off our televisions. Continue your noon naps off air, darling, and goodbye.

This is supremely fucked up. I mean, I read about this earlier, but to see it in writing is devastating.

Too many people deny systemic racism, even when it's right under their noses. So read this, and if there are things on this list you don't know about because they were never mentioned in school, please Google them and educate yourself. Then share this around. #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackHistory

one good thing to come out of this is a renewed respect for government workers. republicans been shitting on federal workers since reagan and they are the people who keep the country running. they allow us to go about our daily lives without worrying about how everything we use works.

In fairness, NYT is blanketing its front page w/stories about 20somethings who haven't undergone FBI background checks having access to highly sensitive and classified information. Oh, sorry, this is actually how they covered Hillary's use of a private email server. never mind!🙃

Hi, I’ve been a software developer for 30 years, including in very large IT projects. Everything about “DOGE” and a bunch of Hitlerjugend walking into a data center and optimizing a code base and data grown over 70 years in a few days is complete bullshit on its nose. Sincerely, Thomas

Gutting USAID threatens billions of dollars for U.S. farms and businesses. U.S. businesses that sold goods and services to USAID are in limbo, including American farms dealing in rice, wheat and soybeans purchased as food aid.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Apparently, allowing Americans to file their tax returns for free is a bad thing. A big gift to the Big Tax lobby and a big middle finger to Americans.

Meanwhile over at Majority Leader John Thune’s house….. I’m actually not a fan of protesting at the private homes of electeds. Just pointing out the choices we make.

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

I say this knowing that it's not easy and Trump is insane: Democrats, we need you to act for this moment. You need to do something that makes us see you as genuine opposition, more than just tweeting or posting videos about tariffs. That's icing on the resistance cake. Now bake the fucking cake.
