A tweet by matthew (

...) posted 5 hours ago reads, "the right thinks you’re a parasite if you can’t afford to pay off your student loans during a housing and cost of living crisis, but they’re totally fine with loan forgiveness when it applies to them." The tweet includes an image listing "10 Republicans who took advantage of PPP loan forgiveness but blocked student debt relief." The list includes: Marjorie T. Greene (R-Georgia, $180,000), Roger Williams (R-Texas, $1.43 million), Matt Gaetz (R-Florida, $476,000), Brett Guthrie (R-Kentucky, $4.3 million), Carol Miller (R-West Virginia, $3.1 million), Vern Buchanan (R-Florida, $2.8 million), Kevin Hern (R-Oklahoma, $1.07 million), Vicki Hartzler (R-Missouri, $451,200), Mike Kelly (R-Pennsylvania, $974,100), and Greg Pence (R-Indiana, $79,441).

This, as the Department of Education, now on life support, will use its remaining power and staff to begin collecting on student loans paused since the pandemic.

"The new US administration is rapidly changing all foreign policy configurations. This largely coincides with our vision."

- Dmitry Peskov, Kremlin spokesperson

Add this to the growing list of things you never thought you'd see in your lifetime.

Elon Musk has shut down a team of tech-savvy civil servants responsible for developing the IRS’s free tax-filing service and improving government websites. As a result, 90 employees were immediately locked out of their devices and informed that their jobs were deemed non-essential.

You might not see it in the mainstream media, but over 10,000 people protested today at Tesla showrooms across the country, another 10,000+ rallied in support of national parks, and more than 1,000 gathered in Vermont to protest Vance’s visit.

3. The Trump administration has ordered the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to indefinitely postpone a public meeting of its vaccine advisory panel, a key forum for discussing vaccine safety and effectiveness.

Three updates:
1. The Justice Department has deleted a database tracking federal police misconduct. The database was first proposed in 2020 following the police killing of George Floyd.

They only change course when the bottom line gets hit and complaints come up the ladder that they're aren't in the black. They wanna support someone cutting off needed funding, let's cut off theirs. "Let the market decide " (to say no).

Imo, since everyone is getting blanket screwed by Big Corps and Orange Garbage, the resistance has to blanket screw back. They play on our sympathies to not hurt their minion workers who they don't pay sh*t to anyway.

If you're not ok with sending a Nigerian prince your personal and private information, why would you be ok with a South African oligarch barging into government offices and stealing it?

A tweet from Chris Murphy reads: "An unaccountable billionaire is seizing control of the government. Now he has access to your tax information. Maybe because he wants to decide who gets refunds and who doesn't. Before it's too late, this is the moment for Americans stand up and say: we want our government back." Below the tweet, there is an image of a CNN breaking news segment with the headline: "MUSK TEAM GAINS ACCESS TO SYSTEM THAT WRITES AMERICA'S CHECKS".

Memos have been distributed to instill fear, warning federal employees that layoffs will begin if not enough people accept Elon’s buyout. This no longer feels voluntary.

Dear world,

Our incoming president is an unhinged lunatic.

He is fronting for a deranged oligarch who wants to establish a new world order of megalomaniacal oligarchs.

Sorry we screwed up. Again.

Please protect yourselves accordingly.

Sincerely,

America
