Sometimes I wish cancel culture had been real. Just imagine how great it would be if some of these chuckleheads had lost all respect and ability to reach an audience the first time they started saying evil shit.

One thing Democratic leadership could do right now is to name an alternate HHS secretary--someone to provide ongoing public updates and health information. And do it for other departments too. Start showing voters what a Democratic government would look like--press conferences, speeches, all of it.

I think I've found a way to articulate what bothers me about the trajectory of the modern tech industry (and to some extent... society). We are on this Earth to provide for each other. That's the "mission" of humanity as I see it. This is incompatible with what the tech industry seeks to do.

I think it's worth repeating plainly that a federal judge halted Musk's federal funding freeze nearly two weeks ago but funds are still very much being frozen in violation of the court order.

Elon Musk is calling for the CFPB's remaining account balance of $711,586,678 to be returned to the American taxpayers. That you give everyone $2-$3. But returning Elon Musk’s money to taxpayers would give everyone about $1,300 each.

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse. Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

I have to wonder about the American strategy of spending three decades defunding and mocking the humanities, forcing kids into STEM fields whether they like it or not, and then rug-pulling the entire US science & medical sector because you got mad at women online.

A federal judge paused the bullshit deadline given to 2 million+ federal employees. (They were told to decide by the end of the day whether to resign or stay in their jobs in order.) The workers’ labor unions challenged the legality and are vigorously fighting back www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Last year Elon Musk and SpaceX claimed the NLRB is unconstitutional after being accused of labor violations. Now under Trump, the NLRB is dropping its opposition to this claim. The labor board will no longer fight in court against the charges that it shouldn't exist.
