@jenpsaki.msnbc.com: "Inspectors general are a headache for everyone. You know why? Because they're investigating every agency and they find stuff! Including waste and fraud and abuse! They wouldn't be firing them if they cared about waste, fraud, and abuse."

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

Trump blames Ukraine for starting the war the way a rapist blames his victim for looking too sexy.

USDA accidentally fired officials working on bird flu and is now trying to rehire them An Agriculture Department spokesperson told NBC News that officials are "working to swiftly rectify the situation."

Accidental my ass.

Remember when we knew that everybody in Congress had gotten the Covid vaccine, but half of them pretended to be team ivermectin and sunshine.

We have enough vaccines for a 1/5 of the population and they will be at the front of the line. Remember that.

Some federal employees who accepted Trump’s buyout offer are now being notified that their buyout has been denied, and they are being terminated instead.

Our team reviewed the entire DOGE website. Nothing they have identified constitutes evidence of fraud or corruption—both of which are crimes. Feel free to audit us. The funds were allotted by Congress, and OIGs regularly reviewed expenditures for fraud.

This is the way.

FuelArc found that, in their one year of existence, the approximately 34,000 Cybertrucks on the roads had five fire fatalities, giving them a fatality rate of 14.5 per 100,000 units. That’s 17 times the fatality rate of the Ford Pintos

What the actual *?! The White House has designated Mr. Musk’s office, the United States DOGE Service, as an entity protected from public records requests and most judicial intervention until at least 2034, by classifying its documents as presidential records.

This is a great piece.

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.

We need to call out the blatant lie being pushed by the Trump administration—that Elon’s staffers have only “read-only” access. It has been confirmed across departments that they have “administrative” access to computer systems.

Weak men cannot compromise. Weak men cannot build consensus. Weak men think that leadership means force. Weak men build nothing that lasts.

So incredibly proud of regular contributor @miralazine.bsky.social. Erin In The Morning was cited in the state AG lawsuit to try to reopen transgender care for those under the age of 19!

This work is essential. Independent journalism is so important now.

We aren’t even obsessing over the fact that Elon is currently lobbying the president to send US citizens to an El Salvadoran supermax prison in exchange for bitcoin payments!

It’s not even in the top ten!

Part of me knows why, but another part is screaming at the idiocy.

A memo listing all of the clubs eliminated by USMA.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Elon staffers are using private emails, violating federal law.

Sometimes, it's helpful to read visual elements across cards. For example, take a look at these three cards. See how it appears to show the Queen of Swords handing a coin to the Page of Pentacles? One thing it could represent is a sharp-witted woman giving money to her adult child.

So many people are so amazingly quiet or just living the lemming life on Insta

5. It is far more likely that an actual human staffer will pick up in the state offices. If you do not feel confident about expressing difficult emotions over the phone, write yourself a short script to read when you connect with a staffer, or when you record a message on voicemail.

Trump just launched a trade war against Canada over fentanyl. The US seized - wait for it - 43 pounds at the US-Canada border last year.

43 pounds.

Please share: We’ve received word that Elon Musk’s staffers are using space characters to identify information leakers. Before sharing any information, please use a checker to detect and remove these.

Ive said this before. Unions have a moment in time to create parallel, Non Profit Trust or Associated Health Plans and
offer them to small to medium size businesses.

Unions can negotiate far better than SMBs or associations .

Imagine if millions got their healthcare from unions ?

Thoughts ?

Acting on Trump's order, federal officials opened up two California dams The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers just opened up two California dams. A spokesperson says the flows are 'controlled' and being coordinated with local officials.

Trump just ordered 2 dams opened up in California in an unprecedented move that risks depleting the reservoirs ahead of the dry summer months.

And the kicker? The water from the dams doesn't even flow to Los Angeles.

The universe speaks in mysterious ways.
