If you support any of this, you’re honestly just a terrible person. People’s lives are being upended and destroyed. For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people die—yet some are celebrating.

Danielle R. Sassoon, Manhattan’s acting U.S. attorney, resigned on Thursday rather than obey a Justice Department order that she drop a corruption case against New York City’s mayor, Eric Adams, that she had championed, according to three people with knowledge of the matter.

Conflict of interest? The State Department’s procurement forecast lists Tesla as the recipient of the largest expected contract, with Marco Rubio’s department planning to purchase $400 million worth of “Armored Tesla” vehicles.

Garcia: "I find it ironic that our chairman, Rep. Greene, is in charge of running this committee. In the last Congress, Chairwoman Greene literally showed a dick pic in our Oversight hearing, so I thought I'd bring one as well. This, of course, is President Elon Musk ... "

Habba’s understanding of the separation of powers is about as good as her legal prowess

Paul Martin, the inspector general for the USAID, has been fired after resisting the administration. Just a day ago, his office released a report warning that staff reductions and spending freezes put hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars at risk of misuse and waste. This is the way.

Under oath, Kash Patel said he was unaware of plans to dismiss FBI agents before he was confirmed. Today, whistleblowers revealed Patel was reportedly directing those dismissals. Covertly. Yet another reason he must be rejected.

@tcbrbookreview.bsky.social so great to see you here!!

Does the Fed think they can just “oops, my bad” their way out of this?

We’re done here. Right?

"The best and the worst thing about vaccination is that it 'makes nothing happen.' A child successfully inoculated against measles doesn’t fall sick with that condition, doesn’t miss school, doesn’t go to the hospital. They don’t suffer life-changing complications. They don’t die prematurely."

Seattle Children's Hospital is complying in advance w/the EO against gender-affirming care, cancelling three surgeries at last minute. Want to email them, and the Asst AGs? jeff.sperring@seattlechildrens.org Neal.Luna@atg.wa.gov Lucy.Wolf@atg.wa.gov

What tech watchers understand is that Musk is doing what Musk does. He's broken the law time after time again. He acts with impunity. This is the underlying model of Silicon Valley. Musk is simply applying this to the federal government. He expects to get away with it. Because he always has. 4/

This is what should be on every front page right now. What's happening in the US right now is an illegal power grab by a private citizen. IT'S A COUP. It's a digital coup. It's Musk who's leading it. The consequences are terrifying. And it's coming for us next. 1/ open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

They are angry that a judge restored a public website providing life-saving resources from the CDC, FDA, and HHS.

Here’s some advice for those outside our coalition, as the administration is actively leading a witch hunt for resistance members. If you’re a government employee, avoid using government devices to coordinate. Do not use standard messaging apps on Android or Apple devices.

Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.

Listen to Secretary Pete. And remember, these are our funds. These are our courts. And these are our streets.

Needed this so much right now. I just called out the fact that Kendrick Lamar carried that red, white, and blue theme through. He owned it! My fam knew what that meant. THEY don’t want us here, but they do not own the flag. “Not Like Us”

We know what’s going on here.

On this 8th day of Black History Month, I want recognize Garrett Augustus Morgan, Sr.. A businessman and inventor of the gas mask and traffic light. I has the pleasure of actually seeing both inventions years ago in Cleveland and shoutout to Mrs. Morgan who played the organ for East Glenville UMC🥰

Last night Elon Musk moved to kill the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. His team is now inside, and he posted “CFPB RIP 🪦” on X. This agency has saved Americans billions. DOGE isn’t about cutting waste—it’s about dismantling the government so Musk and his billionaire friends can take control.

@edwardunderhill.bsky.social so great to meet you today!!! Wonderful panel!!

Black excellence: Twice as qualified, half as respected, and still passed over or labeled as a ‘DEI hire.’ Black folks have always known this because we’ve seen it happen to our own family members. I know I have.
