Today! The latest on the tropics. The latest flash flood emergency. The latest potential flooding today. And the latest on heat.

Here are some texts I got from an immigration lawyer friend of mine. Shared with permission. Some of the bleakest shit I’ve ever heard.

There it is. Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) says Republicans’ next goal is to kick seniors off Social Security: “Get off of Social Security. Get back into the workforce.”

104 years ago today, one of the worst acts of racial violence in U.S. history unfolded in Tulsa. We will never forget.

Russia’s so-called “three-day invasion” of Ukraine, launched in 2022, is closing in on 1 million casualties. In some areas along the front, Russian forces have advanced less than 50 kilometers beyond their own borders. In response to these failures, the Kremlin has intensified its terror campaign.

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: It has come to my attention that several agencies are now offering WiFi for you to use with your PERSONAL devices. If I were you, I would NOT use that WiFi. I suspect it's a way for DOGE to monitor your personal communications.

So Musk’s people, who misread $8 million as $8 billion, who counted the same contracts multiple times and counted as savings programs that ended last year, claim that their AI is finding lots of Social Security fraud. Why should anyone worry?

I don’t give a fuck about what Zelensky was “wearing.” I care about the fact that my once upon a time beacon of democracy nation kicked him to the curb in favor of an evil despot. That’s what I fucking care about.

That Oval Office debacle today solidified two things: 1. The US is not a trusted ally 2. Zelensky is a hero

Elon Musk’s penis rocket and exploding car companies have been given $38 billion in government funding, but he’s cutting funding for children’s cancer research, gutting the VA’s suicide prevention hotline and letting palettes of desperately needed food expire because it’s “wasteful spending.”

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

I don’t ask for favors too often but I have one today. Harry Dunn and I have a podcast and it’s free to subscribe. Please take a moment: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

US officials are reportedly threatening to revoke Starlink access for Ukraine if they don’t give us 50% of their mineral rights. That’s not diplomacy, it’s extortion. We’re also pushing them to kill a UN Resolution that blames Russia for starting the war. Facts matter.

Democrats must make clear that, of course, we believe in changing government for the better - and show how different that is from Trump's destruction of government's capacity to protect workers, consumers, and families.

We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

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. 🧵⬇️

Don't just ask how Musk/Trump actions serve their supposed purposes. Ask how they aid the attempt to seize power paulkrugman.substack.com/p/autogolpe

Conservative budget wonks (Manhattan Instiutte, Tax Foundation) confirming that this is a consittutional crisis. Not liberal hysteria. Happening right now.

This asshole could have ended it all by voting to convict and remove. He can fuck off with this late stage bullshit.

NEW: Someone at IRS just told me they were informed that if they accepted the Fork in the Road deferred resignation, they'd still have to work through May 15th because it's filing season. So Musk lied. And what about filing season 2026? Are they just gonna cross that bridge when they come to it?

NOW would be a great time to have a VERY PUBLIC and VERY LOUD response from Congressional Democrats on Elon Musk's unchecked takeover of our federal government...

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

NEW: The AFGE has advised it's members AGAINST resigning per the hr@opm.gov email until they receive further information and clarification. They also include answers to FAQ in their latest communication:

This.

ATTN: VA EMPLOYEES. I would recommend against using the Office of Accountability & Whistleblower Protection. In 2019, the VA Inspector General found that Trump used OAWP to TARGET whistleblowers. Contact democrats on congressional veterans affairs committees instead.

Day 1 and the party of: "law and order" released insurrectionists who brutally attacked police officers "working Americans" gave the richest man in the world a White House office and staff "defending the constitution" already violated the 14th amendment What else?

I thought I was going to be better than I am. I am not
