must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

typical corrupt science

Substitute a few words and these same comments could be made to every current sitting Secretary.

“When I was younger, there were never people who liked to spend time home alone by themselves, but now it’s a national epidemic,” said Robert F. Kennedy Jr. theonion.com/rfk-jr-...

This administration has no serious people.

"Musk's longtime fixer, Jared Birchall, has stepped in to handle negotiations with the growing number of women who have given birth to his kids." 🤮🤮🤮 www.yahoo.com/news/elon-mu...

Rand Paul: "The whole [tariffs] debate is so fundamentally backwards & upside down. It's based on a fallacy & the fallacy is this: that somehow in a trade, someone must lose. That somehow when you trade with someone, someone is taking advantage of you... I have a trade deficit with my grocery store"

Another winner.

"IRS Predicts DOGE Lost Half a Trillion Dollars for the USA" "in about eight weeks DOGE managed to lose the U.S. government — more or less light on fire — more than half of what goes to all non-defense discretionary spending..." talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/irs-p...

This reminds me of the carrot from those E.D. drug commercials. Poor little guy.

Once again, the change in the stock market isn't a surprise. None of this is a surprise. Try not to let the coverage freak you out, you've already started mourning this. Deep breaths.

Tina Smith and her public SERVice 💁‍♀️ 💥

That’s right. 🇺🇦

Wow

"Have you said thank you even once?"

Nice job baiting Zelinskyy into an ambush. Now you have no reason to speak with Putin again. Great thinking. Do you even crime, bro?

This guy is like a walking AI 1.0. Speed>accuracy. In fact I'm failing to see what he's getting right.

Sen. Tammy Duckworth with receipts!

Andrew Feinberg was a godsend in the press conference today, and thats reason enough, but please go follow him because he has the most hilarious cover photo of his dogs and I think he's my new favorite

@sanders.senate.gov holding town halls in other states is truly presidential, and the leadership we need. Thank you!

I'm sick of this face. I shouldn't have to hear from you except for official government business GTFO

“We will not use our skills as technologists to compromise core government systems, jeopardize Americans’ sensitive data, or dismantle critical public services,” they wrote. “We will not lend our expertise to carry out or legitimize DOGE’s actions.”

DOGE savings (WSJ): $2.6b TSLA subsidies (10 years): $15b Annual increase in deficit: $900b Cuts to Medicare: $880b

We asked and you didn’t disappoint! Here is the music that’s helping our movement get through this dangerous moment (there’s something for everyone). 👇

That’s Tammy Baldwin — not me. You can keep track of all the hundreds of white men but it’s the 28 women in the Senate that trips you up, Fox News?

Last week, DOGE posted an online “wall of receipts,” celebrating how much it had saved by canceling federal contracts. Now it has deleted all of the 5 biggest “savings” on that original list, after NYT and other outlets pointed out errors. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/25/u...

It's really true. Going offline is so much less stressful. I can't tell of it is because it takes me back to a simpler time or if lack of unwanted interaction was the point of the fun. ‘There’s no stress’: gamers go offline in retro console revival | Games | The Guardian search.app/dWNFyQq7wTKH...

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons: -We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S. -The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous. 🧵⬇️

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!

Portland wants to secede. Can confirm.

Somebody wrote “Silicon Valley built the world”. No. No you didn’t. The world was here before big tech, and we are currently figuring out how to manage the mess made by hyper connectivity. ->

I've decided to start policing my own conflicts of interest. That should save you few federal employees right there. Doing my part - feels good!

Elon Musk Offers Self $10 Billion Federal Buyout — theonion.com/elon-musk-of...

Is Musk is *just now* being made a “special government employee” just confirms how illegal this has all been!

if boy scouts taught me anything (yes i was in boy scouts) it was to do a good deed every day and by god i try to stick to that. it helps

I cannot tell you fucking dumb these statements are. The US govt spends a ton on contractors (including NGOs) to do stuff. Anything deemed not inherently governmental *by law* is legally required to be outsourced (see Circular A-76). This is how we have structured out govt forever!

If anyone knows what time it is and isn't, it's Flav.
