My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

Microsoft Office 2021 auto-updated itself to a new version (16.114) that won't work with a perpetual Office 2021 license anymore. 😡

Bad OpSec to turn badges back on before you've located them.

COMMENTARY: It takes a great country to admit its mistakes. The Trump administration's new signs at Colorado's National Historic Sites reflect weakness and insecurity.

Especially if you're on the fence about it, protest today. Fascism is isolating and lonely. Its very goal is to make you feel like you're the only person unwilling to accept a cult of personality. On days like today you fully realize there are more of us than there are them. You will feel better.

Makes me so sad. At least as American Millennial, there was a joke rivalry, but Canada were supposed to be our literal closest bro's in the world? The nicest people you could possibly meet. Like literally comically loving of Americans, you would NEVER do ANYTHING to hurt them. What have we done...

Can confirm US immigration in Canada looks like a zombie movie, and I got to personally see like 12 security agents and three customs and border people totally by myself.

In case you missed OPEC announcing increased production targets earlier this week, they did that that slam the door on domestic drilling.

Boo!-per Lund@cooperlund.online

I am better at assessing what the economy is going to do than finance guys because I listen to everything the President says and take it seriously instead of choosing to hear the things I want to hear

The whole "drill, baby, drill" to reduce prices would never have worked anyway -- oil companies won't invest in new drilling unless prices are high enough to recoup the up front costs.

They all have offices in their districts. Go there and ask why your elected representative is hiding from you.

Heck there’s usually a mandatory training that says a random email from the CEO requesting something totally out of the blue is 100% phishing.

Republicans are feeling the heat and trying to squirm away from Musk's unpopular cuts. Don't let them.

Judd Legum@juddlegum.bsky.social

1. AUDIO On Monday in Fairbanks, Congressman Nick Begich (R-AK) told a constituent laid off from a job with the federal gov't that there was nothing he could do to stop budget cuts imposed by DOGE and Elon Musk Begich said he was "not in a position to approve or deny the cuts"

The Trump administration is going to fire just about every government employee still on initial probation (hired within the last two years). Since veterans, and especially disabled veterans, have hiring preference, Trump is going to fire a bunch of veterans.

Are the optics of Musk holding court in the Oval Office while Trump sits quietly in the corner of the frame supposed to persuade us that Trump is in charge

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Asked to respond to people who say he's orchestrating a hostile takeover of government, Elon Musk lies that "a majority of the public voted for President Trump"

A very simple script. Feel free to adjust for your needs. "I JUST READ THAT MUSK AND TRUMP ARE CUTTING BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN CANCER AND ALZHEIMER RESEARCH MONEY. I DIDN'T VOTE FOR CANCER. ARE YOU SUPPORTING THIS? WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO STOP THEM?" reps.fyi

I am not of the progressive left, but this plea is very much directed at them. They must cast aside their hesitancy about patriotism and realize that their interests, bound to our democratic republic, are embodied in this flag. A flag that embodies the POSSIBILITY of moral progress.

There's no harm in Dems adding to their messaging, "the constant stream of sudden gov't changes is ridiculous, Trump and his appointees are incompetent and Republicans in Congress are useless toadies." Repeat it enough times and people will correctly associate gov't dysfunction with Trump/GOP.

And yet somehow it is our fault that we're not buying enough unaffordable houses.

Ezra Levin ❌👑@ezralevin.bsky.social

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Less than two weeks into his term, Trump’s corruption and malice contributed to a rare and deadly air collision. To cover up his culpability, he smeared his predecessors, and over half the U.S. population. He should resign. Because he won’t, we should unfortunately expect more needless tragedy.

To review, the FAA administrator was forced out because of a business vendetta of Elon Musk’s, Trump froze the hiring of new ATCs despite staff shortages, Musk launched an underhanded attempt to hollow out the whole federal workforce, and then the first US airliner crashed in 16 years.
