the main effect of firing 800,000 people — in addition to debilitating the federal government — would be to plunge the US economy into a recessionary spiral that rivaled the Great Recession

Brave to @jeffstein.bsky.social, WaPo's chief economics correspondent, for not wasting any time in stating what must be stated. Hopefully the first of many.

GO AZTECS 🔴⚫️! "It did avenge their most lopsided loss of the season — 62-48 in Albuquerque on Jan. 11 — and solidify their tournament hopes, improving their record in Quad 1 and 2 games to 8-6, which is what an at-large resume looks like." www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2025/02/25/s...

"This is the line not just on policy and anti-constitutional actions but also a key moment in the drama of performative power between President Trump and the opposition that will have repercussions and reverberations for months and perhaps years to come."

After playing a fictional member of the Resistance a long time ago, I never could have imagined it ever happening in real life, but here we are.

Your regular reminder that the US air & water pollution laws passed in the 60s & 70s -- and the elaborate federal bureaucracy created to administer them -- constitute one of the most successful gov't interventions in history. WILDLY successful. The envy of the world.

The best way to confront a bully about the misinformation he is spreading is to confront him in front of everyone. Macron just did that.

“I’ll see you and raise you one.”

I've said, for a long time, that RU's 2016 operation was the most successful intelligence operation in recent history. I think people may finally start agreeing with me...

For those of you who watched the video of an Idaho woman experiencing handmaid‘s tale treatment, now is the time to decide what you would do in that situation—whether it's you or whether you're nearby when this happens to someone else. We are in a moment where we all have to decide who we are.

RIP Pop Legend> "Her singing seemed to press the reset button on any standard expectations of a pop star. She placed equal priority on passion and clear communication — like an instructor speaking to an inquisitive student, or a lover pledging devotion."

"These actions run completely counter to the spirit of the commitments Secretary Kennedy made to uphold ACIP and continue disseminating credible, scientifically-based vaccine information through federal government websites and communications."

Ukraine used to have the third largest nuclear weapons arsenal in the world. They got rid of their nukes in exchange for security guarantees. By betraying Ukraine, Trump just taught every country on the planet to never trust America, and definitely get your own nukes to prevent getting invaded.

Too simple to even try and cover his tracks.

Lee Zeldin pushing a total oxymoron: "It’s time to go back to the basics to ensure we are delivering clean air, land, and water, and we are also unleashing energy dominance...That’s the priority at the EPA." Deregulation means dirty air, land, and water.

ICONIC: Yosemite National Park workers just hung an upside-down American flag—THOUSANDS of feet up on El Capitan. That’s not decoration. That’s a distress signal. They’re telling us the country is in danger. Are you paying attention? www.sfchronicle.com/outdoors/art...

Amen to that.

“In some ways that’s even more chilling than firing the four stars,” Rosa Brooks, a professor at Georgetown Law. “It’s what you do when you’re planning to break the law: you get rid of any lawyers who might try to slow you down.” By NYT Greg Jaffe www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u...

What I Accomplished Last Week: 5 Bullet Points for My Boss 1. Pondered the great question of our time (“Who is the administrator of DOGE?????”) 2. Read some court filings that did not reveal the DOGE administrator’s identity 3. Asked Elon Musk to tell me who the administrator of DOGE is (no reply)

🫡🇺🇸 "Americans do not swear an oath to a king, a tyrant or a dictator. We swear an oath to the Constitution and the idea of ​​America, for which we are willing to die," — Mark Milley ❗️He said that every US military member gives his life to protect the Constitution, not to individuals.

W.E.B. Du Bois on the white takeover of southern public schools after Reconstruction. Not a coincidence that the chapter, "Back Towards Slavery," follows his analysis of the eventual dedegration of the public school system. Attacks on education are vital to (re)instituting authoritarian rule.

The Miles Byrd block and the BJ Davis fifth foul after a missed travel. If the refs had gotten those calls right there’s a great chance the Aztecs are 2-0 against Utah State and comfortably in the NCAA Tournament.

"It's almost impossible to believe he exists. It's as if you took everything that was bad about America, scraped it off the floor, put it in an old hot dog skin & taught it to make noises with its mouth" #PRESIDEMENTIA

Worst. Episode. EVER.

The Trump regime's segregationist agenda is clear. I argue that having a Black man as president of white America enraged a portion of this country so much, that they decided to destroy any pipeline to Black advancement in academia, government, & workplaces. karenattiah.substack.com/p/trumps-seg...

Word discovery of the day is ‘yoke-devil’ (17th century): an accomplice in a villainous or immoral undertaking.
