Trump and Musk are building a new spoils system When ideological targeting becomes cronyism

New, from me: Trump and Musk are engaged in a broad-based downsizing of government, using that downsizing to selectively target their enemies, while expanding their political power by trading exceptions to the downsizing.

It's a new spoils systems. 🧵

abundantly clear that this administration takes “discrimination” to mean “any regard for minority communities” and treats “merit” as a synonym for “white (and preferably male)”

Today would be yet another good day for university presidents to loudly, collectively, & publicly start defending our institutions & industry. The silence is deafening & frankly, incomprehensible. What exactly are you waiting for? How many Columbias, Maines, & Johns Hopkins will it take?

Extraordinary conversation with a young man living with a disability, and how these cuts are risking all his care.

And a reminder that all of us - you, me, everyone you love - will need care at some point.

No one wants a paper trail because spending funds Congress has not appropriated is colloquially known as “stealing from the US Treasury.”

A reminder for these times.

Protestors met JD Vance in Vermont when he went to vacation there today. This is a good one:

Thou shalt not deport hard working, good people whilst importing vile criminals like the Tate brothers and still claim you have morals.

This says it all.

We Are All Less Safe Today, as NOAA Gets Hit With Mass Firings Splinter is your home for news and opinions that challenge power in our political and economic system that's becoming more unhinged each and every day.

As Trump warms to Putin, U.S. halts offensive cyber operations against Moscow Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered U.S. Cyber Command to pause cyber and information operations against Russia as Trump seeks to bring Putin to the negotiating table to end war in Ukraine.

SecDef has ordered a pause on offensive cyber and info operations while the US & Moscow are in talks, though planning for operations continues, according to sources. While such a pause is not unusual, the move comes as Trump accommodates Putin in his designs on Ukraine.

Announcing Project 2029 The Progressive Blueprint for a Fairer, Stronger Future.

We should be writing Project 2029—defining the society we want, clearly and publicly.

Let’s start today.

The Budget Blueprint Is No 'Big, Beautiful Bill' At best, it’s a concept of a plan. But then they’ll try to spin it to voters.

The House GOP just passed a draconian budget resolution, but despite GOP misinformation, this is just a blueprint, not a final bill. That means there’s still time to push back against proposed Medicaid cuts and tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy. Here’s what you need to know. 👇

Stupid!!!

We knew it!
