A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

"Within minutes after DOGE accessed the NLRB's systems, someone with an IP address in Russia started trying to log in. The attempts were 'near real-time'...

Warren: Whenever there’s a crisis anywhere in the world—terrible things happen—and investors, you know what they do? Investors go to the United States government treasuries, because damn, it just doesn’t get any safer than that.

Except with Donald Trump as president.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration.

So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives.

Trump Sets Record for Longest Speech Without Single Fact Republicans were awestruck by their leader’s ability, at the age of 78, to give such a sustained fact-free oration.

"In what is being called a historic performance, on Tuesday night Donald J. Trump set a new world record for delivering the longest speech that did not include a single fact." @borowitzreport.bsky.social brings updates from last night's speech with some depressing (if not impressive) statistics.

Vance: Have you said thank you once?

Zelenskyy: A lot of times.

Vance: Offer some words of appreciation for the US and [Trump]...

LGBTQ federal workers brace for a McCarthyist purge "They’re not asking people ‘Are you gay? Are you lesbian?’ They’re asking, ‘Who is participating in DEI?'"

In the USDA, multiple people have been asked to report the names of LGBTQ employee resource group leaders to higher-ranking officials.

“People came to us because they needed community, needed connection. We were trying to keep each other safe. Now, we’re all just this big target.”

For @normornstein.bsky.social, normal political compromise is no longer viable in the face of the accelerating authoritarian takeover.
