We love @joy.msnbc.com!! What are you thinking @msnbc.com ??

This is a terrible move @msnbc.com. Terrible. The @joy.msnbc.com was a critical part of the evening line-up and @joyannreid.bsky.social brings trenchant political analysis that no one else in the evening line-up has brought. I urge you to reconsider this. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/23/b...

Elon wants to hear from you. Send your 5 favorite pasta dishes, your shopping list, or which Muppet he most resembles to OPM at [email protected].

Even worse incompetence: they accidentally fired, then apparently today un-fired, hundreds of the people who manage America's nuclear weapons.

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

Today, along with 2,000 other NIH employees, I had to clear out my office 😭 It was truly the honor of my life to work with such incredibly passionate people focused on improving human health. I’ve never experienced a more positive culture where *everyone* cared about their job and serving others.

NERD ALERT! It's been years since I've used it, and I still got all the #Esperanto clues in tonight's #Jeopardy. 😂

"Trump’s administration has launched a full-scale attack on veterans.. A third of all federal employees are military veterans, and make no mistake, the latest round of layoffs at the Department of Veterans Affairs is just the beginning." rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

if you wanted to crash the economy, embolden criminals, aid our enemies and hurt people, these are the exact policies you’d enact

Meaning anyone can access whatever classified information get put into it by his college kids..

for pity’s sake, I am BEGGING university leaders to stop framing this issue in terms of what this will cost the university. people dont care! EXPLAIN WHAT THIS WILL COST THE PUBLIC: closed hospitals and clinics, skipped treatments, loss of access to experimental drugs, unemployment, recession

This. Share this.

US Federal Election Commission Chair Ellen Weintraub said she received a letter from President Donald Trump that purports to fire her but added that the action was illegal reut.rs/40PoErp

The largest US government workers' union and an association of foreign service workers sued the Trump administration in an effort to reverse its aggressive dismantling of the US Agency for International Development reut.rs/41fBb9n

THIS!!! 🎯🎯🎯

💯 🇺🇳

With all due respect, you're a United States Senator and that's a rent-a-cop from a private security firm with no authority to stop you. You can't just take no for an answer here.

🚨We just learned that Elon Musk and his cronies are planning to fire nearly the ENTIRE workforce at USAID. This blatantly illegal action will cause huge damage to America around the world. We will immediately fight this in Congress and the Courts — IT MUST NOT STAND.

ok someone on threads called elon’s minions TRAITOR TOTS and i am deceased

We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social

Last week, Elon Musk's staff illegally breached the U.S. Treasury payment system and gained access to millions of Americans' personal data. We're calling out Elon Musk to put on his big boy pants and answer some questions from the Oversight Committee. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvv-...

Keep in mind, when you read this, that districts in Texas, Florida and elsewhere have banned the Diary of Anne Frank

Every Democratic Senator voted to confirm Rubio as Secretary of State. Every one of them should publicly demand that Rubio fire this man.

Trump and Musk just destroyed US soft power. The Chinese, in particular, will be delighted. #USAID

I just subscribed to Wired, just $5 for the first year. They’ve had a ton of great and alarming scoops over the past two weeks.

Binging #StarTrekContinues this weekend. Episode 1x09 "What Ships Are For" is *chef's kiss*-level Trek. Exactly Roddenberry's vision, as well as a 2x4 to 2025 America. Best line: "Could you ever go back to a world without color?"

If you can longer afford eggs...

Maybe nobody should fly in Trump's America.

Fellow NSA - National Security Agency veterans. Look at what’s happened at the National Cryptologic Museum. They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology. All in response to President Trump’s anti-diversity executive order.

REAGAN: “Our peaceful trading partners are not our enemies; they are our allies… beware of demagogues ready to declare a trade war against our friends—weakening our economy, national security, and the entire free world—while cynically waving the 🇺🇸 flag.” Trump’s bad ideas are not new.

Draw your own conclusions, but Donald Trump is not behaving like a leader who expects democratic accountability for himself or his party next year or in 2028.

Chris Murphy: "Why did he come out so quickly to attack women and Black people for ruining the FAA? He did that bc he is very vulnerable. He has some big questions to answer bc the FAA has been in chaos since he took over. Elon Musk, his co-president, forced out the FAA administrator ... "

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

Painting over the core values at the FBI.

What was that about leaving reproductive decisions to the states again?

Here's a clip from 2009, when President Obama spoke about the Continental Airlines crash -- the LAST time we had an airline crash with fatalities in America. He didn't blame Bush. He didn't blame Reagan. He just consoled America. A REAL Commander in Chief.

Apparently Trump doesn’t believe that air safety is national security. newrepublic.com/post/190934/...

The edits to astronomer Vera Rubin's federal bio offer a glimpse into how far the Trump administration will go in refusing to acknowledge today’s inequalities as it purges federal initiatives promoting diversity, equity and inclusion. @lisalsong.bsky.social
