Dr. M. Allison Stegner — granddaughter of writer Wallace Stegner — is an ecologist who worked for the U.S. Geological Survey in Moab, until the Trump/Musk layoffs. Here's what she wrote about what happened.

On Wednesday I was the first to report Leland Dudek was on the verge of losing his job at the Social Security Administration when he was suddenly promoted to acting commissioner by Elon Musk. Thursday I published a story with more details. I’ll let you guess if I got any credit in this Post story:

I have to say I find the sexism of people's opposition to Pam Bondi grotesque. Not only is it sexist, but it leads you all to wildly underestimate her.

Trump called out Maine for resisting his executive order on transgender athletes. Trump: "Are you not going to comply with that?” Gov. Janet Mills: "I'm complying with the state and federal laws." Trump said "we are the federal law" and threatened to withhold funding. Mills: "See you in court."

I cannot confirm this independently but I am hearing the same thing from a source. If anyone can confirm or share info about the definitive shutdown of the 2024 PRAMS data collection can you contact me on Signal at joshtpm dot 99 or via encrypted mail at joshtpm at protonmail dot com

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

NEW: The Trump/Musk blitzkrieg aims to destroy government to advance oligarchy & autocracy—and to crush the Democrats & the progressive agenda. It's an existential crisis. Yet so many Dems are missing in action. In my OUR LAND newsletter, I ask, WTF? Pls share. link.motherjones.com/public/38721...

After a college student finally found a treatment that worked, the insurance giant decided it wouldn’t pay for the costly drugs. His fight to get coverage exposed the insurer’s hidden procedures for rejecting claims. (Published Feb. 2023)

Glad to see Trump’s imperial threat against a majority indigenous population given its proper platform. This is not about Denmark. It’s about the Inuit who constitute more than 85% of the population of Greenland.

Raskin: "So who is leading DOGE? Is it the young man who calls himself Big Balls? Is it the racist on the night crew who's proud of the fact he was a racist before all of his friends were racist, and says we should legitimize Indian hate?"

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…

White House Counselor Alina Habba: "Well, I think we're gonna be ending a lot of careers, if you ask me."

They want 1939 Germany, Let’s give them 1789 France.

BREAKING: Four hours after this article was published, and the accompanying video went online, Scott Curtis received an email from FEMA’s Office of the Chief Human Capital Officer telling him his firing was being reversed.

TRUMP: You have a man who has let a country that had the more beautiful cities get demolished. The most beautiful domes. FOX: But that's Russia's fault, Mr President T: 1,000 year old domes. Everything is demolished. It's sorta like Gaza F: That's Putin's fault T: I get tired of listening to it

Military Brass and JAG purge is very ominous

Hitler destroyed German democracy in 53 days. We are on day 30. The purge of the military and FBI has commenced. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Donald Trump — The House resolution "implements my FULL America First Agenda, EVERYTHING, not just parts of it." The House plan slashes $880 billion from Medicaid—TRUMP OWNS THIS!!! Democrats need to speak out now—LOUDLY. Don’t Cut My Medicaid 📢

Why does anyone think Elon is anything but a traumatized rich idiot? finance.yahoo.com/news/seven-y...

NEWS Ashley St. Clair, the mother of Elon Musk’s 13th child, has filed for sole custody in court. @taylorlorenz.bsky.social scoops Full Story: bit.ly/4gNSBhP

WAKE UP!!!!! It's all FEAR PORN. How many transgender athletes are there in the U.S.? Out of 510,000 athletes competing at the collegiate level, there are FEWER THAN TEN who publicly identify as transgender, Charlie Baker, the N.C.A.A. president, said in January

Modern-Day Peaceful Protest… TikTokers are hunting Cybertrucks—pulling up behind them and projecting anti-Elon Musk messages onto the tailgate. What’s genius: the driver has zero rear visibility & zero idea. The Cybertruck Hunters account launched a week ago and already dropped a dozen videos.

AOC: And he is running around because he thinks he got a bank account with a lot of zeros in it that it makes him some kind of super citizen. I don't think so.

Hey, guess what, you all need to calm down. We have the very best HHS person on the job for pandemics that might need a new vaccine. #Satire www.newsweek.com/new-coronavi...

Judge orders nationwide preliminary injunction of anti-DEI executive orders. "Plaintiffs’ irreparable harms include widespread chilling of unquestionably protected speech." www.justsecurity.org/wp-content/u...

We should all applaud Judge Ho’s appointment of former Bush SG Paul Clement to present a perspective distinct from those of the indicted NYC Mayor Eric Adams and the Trumpservient DOJ prosecutor Emil Bove. Well played! www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/n...

This is how it’s done.

I’m at Union Station where DOT Secretary Sean Duffy is set to make an announcement “on the California high-speed rail priorities”

it's really saying something that this is how an apparent friend explains Elon's goals www.vanityfair.com/news/story/e...

In light of the efficiency and strategery that has gone into all the other firings, I can't imagine what could possibly go wrong here: wapo.st/438z4FI
