The New York City Comptroller says Elon Musk and the DOGE team raided New York City’s bank accounts and illegally clawed back $80 million in federal funding.

Egg prices are surging, gas prices are up, and planes are crashing on a near-daily basis. And this is what the White House is focused on.

"I suspect that the markets do not quite understand the gravity of our situation because they have never seen anything like it in a first-world country. They have never witnessed a global hegemon attempt suicide." www.thebulwark.com/p/follow-the...

If you’ve been wondering what Elon Musk and his lackeys are up to since taking control of the US government, look no further. Our latest story names six 19- to 24-year-olds working with his DOGE organization, which now has access to sensitive federal systems. wrd.cm/4jzpiSN

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.

Washington Post: One of the first places shoppers may feel the impact of increased tariffs is in the grocery aisle. The United States imported $9.9 billion worth of vegetables and more than $11 billion worth of fruit and frozen juices from Mexico last year. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Food and labor costs are about to explode.

Frontier Airlines has issued a ground stop of airplanes at all destinations because of "IT issues."

Trump fired 400 FAA senior officials, the TSA head, and 3,000 air traffic controllers just 8 days ago. Policy choices have consequences. Today, American Airlines Flight 5342 collided with a Blackhawk over the Potomac, killing 65 Americans. This is the Trump #PlaneCrash #AA5342

And here it is. Republicans moving to ban contraception. Project 2025 in full swing. www.lonestarleft.com/p/breaking-b...

That’s wicked weird

Sounds like a cheap hit. But maybe it wasn’t a great time to freeze hiring of new air traffic controllers for no reason why there was already a shortage. I’m not sure this is a stretch.

Imagine the volume of scared and confused calls going into GOP members of Congress' offices over the past 24 hours... such that it would necessitate the Trumps’ folks to completely fold and rescind their absurd order? Imagine having to sign this order. 🫣 What an embarrassment.

A pardoned J6er, Matthew W. Huttle, 42, of Hobart, Indiana, was shot and killed in Jasper County during a traffic stop yesterday. This happened after an "altercation took place between the suspect and the officer, which resulted in the officer firing his weapon and fatally wounding the suspect."

They crave a dictatorship for life.

Spot on.

Rep. Sarah McBride is the first freshman Democrat to introduce a bill in the new Congress. The Ending Scam Credit Repair Act seeks to crack down on "fraudulent practices" from companies that "deceive consumers with high fees and empty promises" to fix credit scores. www.notus.org/congress/sar...

The insanity of being a fire ecologist in the epicenter of a major fire event, bags packed and ready to evacuate, watching active fire from my window, while taking media requests and explaining to the public, for the 100,000th time how climate change is largely responsible for this

An utterly repulsive moment, if you haven't seen this yet

CNN: Well, the way Trump pitches it is that when it comes to Greenland for example, it's for national security purposes. Is there any credence to that statement? REP. JIM HIMES: No. It's bananas. It's insane.

🤦

A man who failed a coup is given total control over a military industrial super power while demanding sovereign territory from foreign neighbors based on historical causes while ramping up concentration camps, censoring the press, and business leaders swoon? Hollywood really is all out of ideas.

The DHS Federal Protective Service is ripe for weaponization against political enemies.

establishment dems: messaging is hard. you have to test it. focus group it. talk about bipartisanship. get swing state moms on board. my member of congress:

The poster isn’t on bluesky so screenshotting but this is definitely one of the more evil UHC stories I’ve seen.

The number of people in this country who don't know Obamacare and the ACA are the exact same thing is a testament to the power of disinformation and propaganda.
