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:

Staff of NSF’s Human-Environment & Geographical Sciences program terminated. Anti-intellectual vengeance against geographers. And, perhaps, against Tim Walz, high school geography teacher & advocate, in particular.

Unqualified. So badly that he will require a waiver to take the position.

Know why the US is $36 trillion in debt? Because the Republicans give rich people and corporations tax cuts, and we, the middle and lower class, foot the bill. Rob the poor to give to the rich. #VoteBlue2025 #wtpBLUE #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue

Last year Michigan Rep. Tim Walberg wanted to nuke Gaza. Yesterday he decided that if Americans can't afford $200 for a passport as voter ID, they don't deserve to vote. Married women. Adoptees. The poor. 💯 pure evil. Give a listen at 46:25. #SAVEAct youtu.be/0nyXqHWegxs?... h/t Steven Meyer

A small government team at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, responsible for regulating autonomous cars—which Elon Musk claims are the future of Tesla—is being cut nearly in half by Musk. Conflict of interest?

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

I didn’t know I could hate someone as much as I hate Trump and Musk. Really, I’ve know some real assholes, but these two have brought me to new heights of loathing and rage.

DC police are mounting a criminal investigation of an alleged assault of a woman by GOP Rep. Cory Mills, who represents a district near Orlando. The incident started at a penthouse in a luxury DC apartment building. Mills, who’s married and has two kids, apparently had a fight with his girlfriend.

More corruption. The number of ways Elon Musk will use his government position to enrich himself and his companies may—and I say this advisively—outstrip the number of ways we saw this from Donald Trump by an order of magnitude like 5x or 10x. This is the most corrupt government in American history.
