If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

The greatest business battle EVER to be fought will come when President Elon starts trying to implement AI for federal processes. The battle will be fought over which company’s AI will be used by the feds. This is a zero sum battle that will create more chaos than this country has ever seen

🚨NEW: Singer Sheryl Crow has sold her Tesla and donated the money to NPR, saying, “There comes a time when you have to decide who you are willing to align with.” REPOST if you stand with Crow against Elon Musk and Donald Trump!

Hanlon’s razor states: Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence. After watching the powers that be this past week, it appears to be a close call.

Back in the world of factual reality…

We need to amplify this—the Republican House refused Secretary Buttigieg’s request for safety improvements at Reagan International.

Just the <checks notes> Chair of the House Appropriations Committee going on the record to say that appropriations statutes “are not a law.” The United States Congress, ladies and gentlemen.

Sen. Chris Murphy on Trump's order freezing federal grants: "This is an attempt to seize power." "This is what a king does. This is not how a democracy works. One man does not decide how taxpayers' money is spent." "The scope of the damage that will be done is enormous."

How it started How it's going

#HealthForAll For everyone. Everywhere.

NEW: No president-elect has merchandised the presidential transition period for personal profit like Trump did with the Trump Store, which launched at least 168 new products online costing $13,803.92 during that period. That’s not normal.

We sometimes forget the courage it took for this guy - along with his colleague Liz Cheney - to never cave to Trump and his cult. So few GOP in Congress have had the patriotism and decency to put what was right and just in front of the politically expedient path, which was to grovel at Trump's feet.

On 21 March 1933 Adolf Hitler was officially sworn in as chancellor of Germany. The same day he pardoned 8,000 Nazis, who had committed violent acts, starting with the failed Hitler coup on 8 November 1923. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/21/u...

Yikes. Sen. Jack Reed, the top Dem on the Senate Armed Services Committee, spells out all the details of the sworn affidavit recounting Pete Hegseth's specific incidents of alcohol abuse, abusive behavior toward his second wife + offensive public misconduct.

Brave yourselves for more of the like.

Let’s hope that Tik Tok is disabled tonight at midnight and all day tomorrow and Monday. Which means the biggest story on Monday will be… And the reaction from the newly installed President will be …

The horror of Trump’s ambition to surpass Eisenhower’s deportation record The model of what Trump is promising to do was an immoral nightmare. www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...

Don’t be one of those people. 😢

x X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m. Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app? If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

Why are we ignoring the Fourteenth Amendment-Section 3? #NeverForgetJanuary6th

Is America better off TODAY, after four years of President Biden, than we were on this day four years ago after Trump's term? I submit these photographs as evidence for the record.

Every person who attacked the Capitol that day believed in feverish fantasies & ignorant bullshit, pushed by a POTUS and his minions-willing to do violence against law enforcement to satisfy the bloodlust of the stupid. And politicians who refused to certify - unfit, cowards, careers over truth.

If you really want to find $2 Trillion to *balance* the budget, maybe look at taxing them and their companies rather than cutting health care for the elderly/poor/veterans and social security? Unless you don’t actually care about the debt, and just want to make the rich richer?

“…nearly half the electorate did not vote for Trump. They deserve leadership, too … Either democracy was on the ballot in November, or it wasn’t, and if it was, it makes no political, ethical or strategic sense to act as if we live in normal times,” Jamelle Bouie

🚨NEWS: Matt Gaetz ethics report to be released before the end of this Congress

We will NEVER let RFK Jr. take us back to THIS 💔 Who’s with us? 👍

I've seen a child with tetanus, I've treated near fatal infections after chicken pox, and I've pronounced children dead from COVID whose parents refused to have them vaccinated. We have lost our minds... and are about to lose so many of our precious children.

1000%

We have a peculiar historical event shaping up where the oligarch billionaire class is about to fleece this country while most of their supporters are working people who are convinced that they are on their side because they hate migrants & trans people.

New in PN: A toxic brew of money and threats is perverting the courts "The only way for judges to steer clear of the ire of people like Jones, Musk, & Trump — & their supporters — is to rule in their favor. Any other outcome is deemed rigged & corrupt. The courts aren't equipped to deal with this."
