Trump is the most lawless president in American history | Robert Reich If Trump simply ignores the high court, is that the end of law?

Just what you want on international headlines.

Some federal workers are ‘getting wealthy at taxpayer expense,’ says Elon Musk, whose companies have received at least $20 billion from the government

Dear Colleagues, With gratitude for his strong leadership and commitment, I announce National Institutes of Health (NIH) Principal Deputy Director Lawrence A. Tabak, D.D.S., Ph.D., retired from federal service effective Feb. 11, 2025, after 25 years of service. Dr. Tabak has held critical NIH leadership roles since 2000, most notably in his current role as the second in command since August 2010, and two years as the Acting NIH Director from December 2021-November 2023. He has helped shape important policy decisions at NIH over four administrations. He has guided NIH through complex issues and will be sorely missed.

UPDATE: A purge of experienced career staff has begun at NIH. The staff was just informed that Deputy Director Lawrence Tabak, who has worked at NIH for 25 years is "retiring."

Grant funding remains frozen, in violation of two federal court orders.

former CEO of US multinational corporation and technology company Google Eric Schmidt (L) and Britain's Prime Minister Keir Starmer (R) speak on stage during the International Investment Summit, held at The Guildhall, in central London, on October 14, 2024. The Labour government is welcoming dozens of business leaders to London on October 14, 2024 for an "international investment summit", the first major gathering of its kind since coming to power, where it hopes to increase the number of announcements despite laborious organization and a "skinny" guest list.

The former Google chief’s warning comes after Chinese start-up DeepSeek shocked the world last month with the launch of R1, its powerful-reasoning open large language model, which was built in a more efficient way than its US rivals such as OpenAI www.ft.com/content/84cf...

Opinion: It is disgusting to read the boast of Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, that ‘we spent the weekend feeding USAID into the wood chipper’. That this raises constitutional and legal issues for the US republic is quite clear www.ft.com/content/3e47...

Sorry y’all, but if you actually care about democracy (small d), it’s being systematically shredded under the guise of “disruption”—exposed as the 200-year-old fixer-upper it truly is.

trying to unfollow Trump and the clown crew after forced to follow on #meta or #twitter ? well tough luck - it “may take some time for follow and unfollow requests to go through” as the account transitions occur.

seems like this might be the forum for that discussion ;)

We need a third party or a dnc intervention!

said way better then i could say it :)

The Untold Story of Silk Road, Part 1 How a 29-year-old idealist built a global drug bazaar and became a murderous kingpin.

Now is a great time to read WIRED magazine’s 2015 feature story, “The Untold Story of Silk Road.”

There were good reasons why Ross Ulbricht was serving a double life sentence.

omg i hadn't seeing the horrible doge cartoon and historically ambiguous flag adornment - even freaking better

Union density hits historic 10% low (2023), with federal workers remaining one of labor's strongholds. The attack isn't just about 'efficiency' - it's about breaking one of organized labor's final bases of power. The time for solidarity isn't tomorrow - it's right now. #UnionStrong #1u

Trump Sued by Federal Employees Union Over Schedule F Order The National Treasury Employees Union argues a move to “radically reshape the civil service” by making it easier to fire federal workers violates the will of Congress.

The National Treasury Employees Union said that it has sued President Trump to block an executive order that would enable him to fire career federal workers across the government.

i know, and i likely have to get over it - but it's hard not to at least point out logically inconsistent totalitarian actions

sadly it feels like the answer is yes if you have a meaningful offering for dear leader. The pardons extended far beyond dark web superstars, also featured proud boys and a militia night bowling leagues worth of other assorted white nationalists.

The new Department of Government Efficiency's branding looks like it was pulled straight from a 2013 crypto scam's asset folder. Nothing says 'streamlined government' quite like a stock photo gold dollar sign that may still has the Freepik watermark showing. #doge #musk #oligarchsgonewild

Trump pardons Silk Road founder Ulbricht for online drug scheme U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday pardoned Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht, who was serving a life sentence after being convicted of running an underground online marketplace that was used by thousands of drug dealers and others to conduct over $200 million worth of illicit sales using bitcoin.

does it feel a little odd that trump is simultaneously threatening the EU and china with tariffs for allowing illegal drugs to flow to the us and pardoning this douchebag?

OpenAI Details Plans for Becoming a For-Profit Company OpenAI said it would be restructured as a public benefit corporation, and that the nonprofit that controls the organization would receive shares in the new company.
