Americans Wanted a Cost of Living Warrior. Trump Is the Opposite Americans are increasingly concerned with cost of living issues. They voted for Donald Trump to help, but he's done the opposite.

Despite the circus-like news cycles coming out of the White House, Trump's role in creating this economic catastrophe is not lost on the public.

A whopping 60% say that Trump has made their cost of living worse, and many worry that he will make it harder for them to pay their bills.

‘I Feel Like I’ve Been Lied To’: When a Measles Outbreak Hits Home

Read this article top to bottom and can't decide whether I want more to scream or to cry

The Trump Administration’s recent attacks against lawmakers all have something in common: in each case, video evidence directly contradicted or undermined the Administration’s account of what happened.

‘Set up for failure’: Trump’s cuts bring climate and energy agencies to a standstill, workers say Federal workers say taxpayers are now getting far less from the government because of the DOGE-led effort to cut the workforce.

Cuts and freezes are jamming up some of the basic functions of government at agencies targeted in Trump’s rollbacks, more than a dozen federal employees told us.

Sen. Alex Padilla, who was just forcibly removed from a DHS press conference, is the ranking member of Judiciary’s subcommittee on immigration, citizenship, and border safety, which has “oversight of federal agencies with citizenship, asylum, refugee, and immigration enforcement responsibilities.”

The MAHA Report Cites Studies That Don’t Exist The Trump administration’s “Make America Healthy Again” report misinterprets some studies and cites others that don’t exist, according to the listed authors.

RFK Jr's "MAHA" report is filled with references to studies that literally do not exist, or that completely misinterpret the studies' findings.

“We did not publish a paper.. on this topic with that co-author group, or with that title,” says one cited researcher.

This may be the greatest ever chart in the history of public opinion studies.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

In other decades this would be an era-defining scandal with hearings on the Hill and possible legal consequences. This will run for a day on Twitter and everyone will admit they can't do anything.

Musk’s X suspends opposition accounts in Turkey amid civil unrest Suspensions affect accounts spreading information about the widespread demonstrations.

Elon Musk's social media platform X has suspended several accounts belonging to opposition figures in Turkey amid widespread civil unrest in the country.

Musk claims DOGE ‘restored’ Ebola prevention effort. Officials disagree. USAID’s initiatives to fight Ebola and other diseases have been gutted, current and former agency officials said.

Elon Musk said DOGE made a mistake by cutting USAID’s Ebola prevention but it had been “restored.”

That’s not true, current and former officials told me and @johnphudson.bsky.social.

“There have been no efforts to ‘turn on’” Ebola prevention, said Nidhi Bouri, who oversaw team until January.

Musk isn’t disrupting the government. He’s breaking it Elon Musk’s Doge team seems to be using Mark Zuckerberg’s ‘move fast and break things’ motto. That’s not what voters asked for

CISA Puts Election Staff on Administrative Leave Read more here.

CISA – a federal agency that helps secure elections from foreign threats and disinformation – has placed its employees on administrative leave. The move puts the security and integrity of elections in the U.S. at risk.

Reminded of this terrific post by @cjterry.bsky.social on the topic of strategies which work under some electoral systems but not others:

Federal election commissioner says Trump is trying to improperly remove her Ellen Weintraub, a Democratic member of the Federal Election Commission, says President Trump is trying to improperly remove her from the post.

Vittoria Elliott Leah Feiger Feb 7, 2025 2:47 PM A US Treasury Threat Intelligence Analysis Designates DOGE Staff as ‘Insider Threat’ An internal email reviewed by WIRED calls DOGE staff's access to federal payments systems “the single biggest insider threat risk the Bureau of the Fiscal Service has ever faced.”

NEW: An internal email obtained by WIRED from a threat intelligence team monitoring US Treasury systems advised labeling DOGE operatives an "insider threat," adding that it recommended suspending their access "immediately."
