OK, gonna throw this spicy bomb out there. If you're fortunate enough to have disposable income, then right now it is your duty to use that income wisely. You have agency over how you spend it and you should own how you spend it. Your decisions do, in fact, affect stock prices of big corporations.

“But if you want to smear your feces on the Capitol walls, come on in!“

Epic idea

“National security concerns.”

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

There were certainly signs

This is where we are.

drugs have taken too many beloved celebrities from us over the years but drugs also have a rare chance right now to radically rehabilitate their image

Dems should propose a law that immediately requires every fed agency to post on @bsky.app account, every outlay with a detailed description, $, and a link to existing gov sites with in depth details Rather than trying to keep Elon out, pre-empt him so he cant miss characterize spending.

Huh. This is good advice.

Hacks followed deep cost-cutting after the private equity buyout of remote-working tech company Citrix. Now the architect of that strategy is working on Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency team. Read the Big Take ⤵️

Can't believe the amount of heat we used to get for downloading an mp3 when every tech company is downloading the sum total of human expression to sell a scromited version back to us

I linked DOGE staffer Marko Elez to a deleted X account that advocated repealing the Civil Rights Act, backed a “eugenic immigration policy,” and wrote, “You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity." He just resigned. www.wsj.com/tech/doge-st...

President Trump has opened the throttle on blowing through apparent legal limits, often with no clear public explanation for how their actions could be consistent with the rule of law. Here are some examples of the administration’s defiance of statutes. nyti.ms/4aKnKRP

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.

Susie Wiles was supposed to be the chief of staff who could keep Trump on message. Sure doesn't look like that's happening ⬇️

Breakfast diner chain Waffle House has announced they will be adding a $0.50 surcharge on every egg they sell in response to the soaring cost of eggs under the Trump administration.

they are mostly targeting black employees so this is quite literally just a repeat of woodrow wilson’s segregationist purge of the federal government

So the "free speech absolutists" are now claiming that putting your picture on the cover of a magazine with the headline "the cruel kids table" is "false light defamation." These guys simply crumple into mush at even the slightest hint that maybe, just maybe, some people don't like them.

Waffle House announced its all-day breakfast will now cost an extra 50 cents for each egg. The temporary surcharge, which went into effect on Monday, is meant to address the rising cost of eggs because of a shortage caused by the bird flu.

Biden: we'll cancel student debt! Trump/Musk: we'll violate your privacy by giving your student debt financial info to kids who should be filling out student aid forms, not looking at yours.

The State Department has fired about 60 contractors who work for its democracy, human rights and labor bureau, a division whose programs have often been criticized by authoritarian leaders, according to two U.S. officials and two former officials.

Elon Musk goes to war with USAID, guards overseeing ISIS prisoners walked off the job, Musk’s fans in Russia cheered. This is not normal. Stay informed with Ron Filipkowski’s latest Daily Bulletin.

Seems pretty scandalous that we've not had a new Outrun game in almost 20 years.

Elon’s response to a post simply naming the 6 people he has working for him inside our government. Apparently, it is a crime for the American people to know who they are.
