Celebrate the wonderful career of @AndreaMitchell today! You've been an inspiration to so many women in journalism. Thank you, Andrea!

Right-wing media is melting down today over the erroneous idea that Politico is secretly funded by USAID. Here's the backstory:

NEW — DOGE now has full access to HHS Payment Management System, I’ve learned.

The system distributes almost $1 trillion per year in grants (largest in the govt) and supports all of NIH, CDC + many other public health initiatives. Musk guy Luke Farritor is actively delaying payments to recipients.

And let's be clear that Medicare 'fraud' is largely done by health insurance companies (e.g. Medicare Advantage plans) and health care executives (e.g. Rick Scott). www.nytimes.com/2022/10/08/u...

Again, I don’t think the average person realizes the degree of which these people have gone insane. You can state, just as a matter of fact, that Elon publicly believes we live in a “Truman Show” constructed by USAID. But you’re the one who sounds nuts if you say that!

Boundlessly incompetent. Boundlessly cruel.

Exclusive: how NSF is scouring research grants for violations of Trump’s orders The US National Science Foundation has unfrozen grant funding, but it continues to scrutinize research projects, sowing turmoil.

"Since 1980, Congress has mandated that the agency seek to broaden participation of underrepresented groups, including women and other minorities, within [STEM]. 'The orders are illegal,' says an NSF employee. 'The statutory framework of NSF is being violated.'”

Can this tech billionaire save the media from an AI apocalypse? He thinks the entire internet could be at risk if he doesn't act fast.

The CEO of Cloudflare -- the company that keeps so much of the Internet running -- is looking at the idea of blocking all AI crawlers, like they were malicious traffic.

If it happens, it'd be a massive, massive deal for tech and media.

Remember when our Social Security numbers were safe, We had access to CDC, NIH, and trusted the news? I’m old enough to remember gas prices were $0.90! I remember when could you buy a brand new car for $13,000! I remember when my I had never heard of MAGA.

The laugh i just laughed was a childlike yet hideous laugh

Federal Workers Sue to Disconnect DOGE Server Two federal workers, citing reports that Elon Musk’s associates are operating an illegally connected email server at OPM, seek a restraining order.

Exclusive: Federal workers have filed an emergency motion requesting a restraining order to disconnect the DOGE server that's being used to conduct Trump's "deferred resignation program." The workers had previously accused DOGE of illegally bypassing a mandated privacy audit.

By me at @wired.com:

Waffle House is placing a surcharge on every egg it sells | CNN Business The soaring price of eggs has forced Waffle House to add a temporary surcharge on customers’ orders.

A 50 cent surcharge PER EGG at Waffle House...

How's the price of eggs argument working out for you?

Opinion | This Is Who Should Foot the Bill for the Los Angeles Fires It’s time to require oil and gas companies to compensate communities, homeowners, businesses and even insurers for the losses.

"For decades, oil and gas companies have been allowed to mislead the public and profit from their products while sticking others with the bill for climate change. That must end."

Reporting for duty, Illinois.

It was an honor to join all of you in participating in our democratic process as a potential juror this morning.

I don't support John Bolton or his policies. But what Trump did cancelling his security detail after constant threats from Iran is simply Un American. It's not much different than Trump refusing to protect VP Mike Pence because he didn't bow down to his demands.

This is just starting folks.

Just days after Trump returned to the White House, Instagram is censoring abortion content. This is what Aid Access' account looks like right now - posts about how to get abortion medication has been blurred out.

Where’s the media outrage? Is Don Jr. qualified to sit on this board? Would he have landed this gig if his dad weren’t president?

Funny how these were exactly the questions reporters couldn’t stop asking about Hunter Biden. So… cat got their tongues now? Or is selective curiosity the new standard?

Trump: I’m going to pardon the Jan 6th inmates I sent to beat our police officers and hang my VP because I refused to leave office peacefully.

Biden: Before I leave office peacefully, I’m going to pardon my only living son.

The press: Biden just handed Trump a playbook for abusing the pardon!!!

I think 9 years later, we have "the read" on the guy. He's a mango Maniac, & president bawbag. Thanks, but no thanks, Joe. I stopped watching your show 5 years ago and I remember why every time you open your dickhead mouth.

We flipped #CA13. Just to reiterate, CA Dems held every blue seat and flipped three red ones (CA13, CA27, and CA45). Hopefully in 2026 we’ll finally flip CA22 and CA41.

Trump at the Lobbyist Trough The unifying thread of the team around the president is that they sell their services to corporations for money.

Trump’s chief of staff was a corporate lobbyist.

His pick for transportation secretary lobbied for airlines.

The richest person in the world and another billionaire will run a new department of “efficiency.”

They’re telling us exactly who they will work for.

One of the best Community Note owns I’ve ever seen and I just had to share it.

Federal Court Rules Idaho Can Enforce So-Called 'Abortion Trafficking' Law | Common Dreams "If legislators were trying to trap men in states where they couldn't get healthcare, we would never hear the end of it," said one advocate.

Today, I'm also grateful for Sharon, who still makes me laugh hysterically year after year. This will NEVER get old.

Happy Thanksgiving! No doubt 2024 was the worst yr of my life & yet there's still so much to be grateful for. My fam & friends give me life. My love for U is limitless. My husband, who I adore, is my everything, & my daughter is my reason. I'm grateful for my job that allows me to do all the things.
