Imagine having the cognitive dissonance to not only create, but proudly and publicly share a graphic with a giant red X through the FEMA logo. Federal agencies are literally being decimated & the field of emergency management will lose critical funding, but hey, at least you got some attention!

@liaoffleash.bsky.social good morning, Lia. In your 23andMe article, in the 8th graph you mention β€œGedMatch… began selling at-home testing kits…” GedMatch is not a testing provider and doesn’t sell tests. They help users analyze their DNA matches and provide data tools for those who have taken tests

Key takeaway from DOGE:

There’s less government fraud/waste than expected.

This struck me as the perfect distillation of JD Vance. He is a shockingly incurious and unserious guy who has faked his way into the center of power and now thinks he’s the smartest guy in the room.

If the market continues to trend down, and the Atlanta Fed turns out to be right, the midterms will be very interesting.

The battle between republican self preservation and MAGA will be intense

HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT?

Maybe literally one fucking American newspapers could mention this in their, β€œthink pieces,” about what happened yesterday.

I’ll be honest, this week there was more to destroy the rule of law than in trumps first term,

And i have no idea what the Democrats are doing to fight back. Or even saying. Crickets

Everyone who spent the past four years swaddling Trump's open, explicit endorsements of political violence in obfuscatory euphemisms fully owns what's happening right now.

According to NYT: β€œβ€œThe pardons will also wipe the slate clean for violent offenders who went after the police on Jan. 6 with baseball bats, two-by-fours and bear spray and are serving prison terms, in some cases of more than a decade.”

Man who dragged officer into 1/6 mob gets more than 7 years A Tennessee man who dragged a police officer into a mob of rioters during the U.S. Capitol attack has been sentenced to more than seven years in prison.

Full & unconditional pardons.

More than 100 officers were injured.
Rioters beat and shocked officer Fanone with a stun gun at the base of his skull. Fanone lost consciousness, which his body camera captured on video.

Others yelled "kill him with his own gun."

Also, I’m guessing most hotel cancellations are within policy until Saturday or Sunday. You’re going to see a massive drop in hotel rooms this weekend.
