By "US", he means he and Elon.

The save Ukraine rally in Washington, DC today feels like a save America rally

Says the guy who won't even respond to the mothers of his own children

The National Institutes of Health had to stop considering new grant applications, delaying funding for research into diseases ranging from heart disease and cancer to Alzheimer's and allergies.

When these inaccuracies were first found, they could be called "mistakes." When DOGE took efforts to cover them up, they can no longer be considered "mistakes."

“We rely on public employees every day, usually not noticing how they” improve our lives, Donald Moynihan writes. “The costs of dismantling agencies … and demeaning the idea of public service will still be counted long after Trump has departed the scene.”

UAVs threat in Crimea 🦅❗️

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

"Piece Plan"

Again: tech journalism is meeting this moment in a way the mainstream establishment newspapers and cable channels just aren’t. I can’t emphasize enough what a big deal this is.

Elon Musk promised to deliver a “maximally transparent” government efficiency program. What he’s disclosed so far is a messy and inaccurate accounting of his group’s early work. DOGE’s ‘wall of receipts’ is riddled with errors and inconsistencies www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

I’m going to ask people older than I am if they have ever seen corruption in this scale. Have you?

Russian propaganda has surged over the past decade amid a media crackdown, peaking after the 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Despite its low-budget production, calls for nuclear strikes on Washington are growing louder. (1/12)

19-year-old, once known by the online moniker “Big Balls,” is part of Musk’s controversial effort to remake the federal government. He is a “senior advisor” with access to departments, including Homeland Security, FEMA and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

❗️Trump's team asked Ukraine to withdraw a resolution condemning Putin for waging war. Kyiv was shocked: Zelensky refused, — Washington Post cites European diplomats.

Listen to this asshole. Threats, blackmail, lawlessness...in broad daylight. He literally thinks he's a king.

Pay attention to this. Replacing JAGs with loyalists enables whatever orders Trump and Hegseth issue to be interpreted as lawful.

“If the Supreme Court accepts the unitary executive theory in its extreme form, then the United States will be transformed from a constitutional democracy to something much closer to an autocracy. And Trump’s counter-constitution will have won”.

Associated Press sues White House officials to restore access

Note to any potential Starlink customers: Elon Musk will extort you if given the opportunity.

I don't think these guys are playing on our team.

Shutting down chargers that are already installed isn’t policy. It’s vandalism. electrek.co/2025/02/21/t...

Fuckhead probably gave them the key.

The Trump DOJ is big mad about their finest legal minds being humiliated in court

A year ago this month, Trump said he would encourage Russia to attack NATO allies and "do whatever the hell they want" unless allies paid up. We thought it was so important, we ran it on the front page of the @mississippifreepress.org at a time when the New York Times and others didn't.

BREAKING — States attorneys general lead by @newyorkstateag.bsky.social were just granted a preliminary injunction in their case against DOGE. The team cannot access Treasury Department payment systems or data while the lawsuit proceeds. Major.

NEW: In a win for democracy, the U.S. Supreme Court paused an emergency request from Trump and allowed the head of the whistleblower agency to remain in office until a Feb. 26 hearing.

that Trumpers think the US Postal *SERVICE* should be a profit-making enterprise exposes the fallacy in their conception of government

As for X, I wouldn't believe Elon's official number. A lot of people left it to come here. Even at that, many left their accounts open over there to keep it from getting hijacked by trolls. I expect the numbers here to grow, and even surpass those on X.

🚨BREAKING: Supreme Court keeps lower court order that undid Trump effort to fire Special Counsel Dellinger in place. Trump administration's motion to reverse is held in abeyance until after TRO expires on 2/26. Subscribe to Democracy Docket to stay informed. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

Worked with a friend on this site. If it's useful and doesn't get abused, i'll keep it up. No plans to monetize it right now. Would very much like it to be community based, so if anyone wants to help maintain, moderate or write their own articles, let me know. dailysurvivor.net

That's one cruel way to cut Social Security. These services are cheap in comparison to physical visits, which makes one wonder why else they'd want to eliminate it.

In part because of NIH research funding, a potential breakthrough in pancreatic cancer -- one of the most deadly cancers. And the technology may be applicable to melanoma and other cancers. A reminder that funding NIH research isn't just spending on scientists but is also an investment in humanity.

That’s nothing. I found 13 contracts awarded to SpaceX since December totaling $77M. 1/

There are a lot of SHTF books out there, many based more on theory than real-world experience. But this is my go-to manual. It's designed for people who might only have a pocket knife with them

Too extreme for even them.
