Trumpβs attacks on Iran were based on vibes, not new intel, two administration officials tell Rolling Stone. βThere is no intel,β one of the sources says. βThe intelligence assessments have not really changedβ
I'm joining @whipkclark.bsky.social, @warren.senate.gov, and @trahan.house.gov at Planned Parenthood in Boston to sound the alarm on Trump and Republicans' latest attack on reproductive healthcare.
Tune in:

Missouri adopted a law that ends St. Louisβ ability to run its own police, transferring control to the GOP-run state government. The law also requires St. Louis to commit 25% of its budget to policing. boltsmag.org/missour...
When Mayor Wu gave birth, the Boston Globe ran a photo showing her seated and listening rather than leading.
Weβve seen this before with Jane Swift and Kamala Harris. Same framing, same message. Power isnβt pregnant.Β

DOGE recommended firing workers at:
-FDA, which oversees Neuralink
-FAA, which oversees SpaceX
-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.
"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Why read past headlines: There's been a lot of coverage of how Musk built his wealth on government loans and contracts.
I go beyond that and demonstrate how he made his fortune on other people's research β and it all originates with federal funding.

What you mean is they are fucking lies. Hundreds of them. β Claims about USAID funding are spreading online. Many are not based on facts apnews.com/article/usai...
Elon Musk claims to have "deleted" the office in the IRS which has enabled people to file their tax returns electronically, simply, and for free.
PSA to male writers trying to write women characters, we rarely, if ever, 'gently cup our breasts'
Pretty damning evidence tipping the scales on the question of whether Musk is pro-apartheid.
The long hallway at my workplace has motion detector lights in the ceiling. On Sundays when I am one of the few in the building they turn on above me as I walk through. It makes me feel like a choir should be singing an angelic chord.
Last night, Musk's staff were stopped trying to enter USAID's HQ. They threatened to call U.S. Marshals.
@cnn.com: Sources say they wanted access to security systems and personnel files and to access classified information.
Today, the USAID Director of Security and his deputy were put on leave.
Muskβs allies were granted access to the U.S. Treasury payment system.
Treasury stays silent.
White House stays silent.
Why the secrecy? Time for an explanation and full transparency.
Oh right he's going to crash the economy tomorrow
Any US Senator who votes for Tulsi Gabbard, RFK Jr. or Kash Patel are betraying their oath of office to serve their constituents and uphold the Constitution.
β‘οΈ January 20: FAA director fired
β‘οΈ January 21: Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen
β‘οΈ January 22: Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded
β‘οΈ January 28: Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees
β‘οΈ January 29: First American mid-air collision in 16 years
Making America Great Again!
Why canβt senators and reporters just declare that RFK, Tulsi Gabbard, and Kash Patel are radical, unhinged, cultish, divorced from reality, and too dangerous to be taken seriously? They donβt have to play this game as if itβs normal times and they are normal people.
If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.
Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and itβs your choice.
But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.
They arenβt firing for a reason.
I work in a huge building that was originally a candy factory. It is patrolled by these R2D2 looking robots. This makes me smile.
