A reminder for future generations….please don’t let this kind of music die out.

In Manhattan, ICE officers were forced to flee inside 26 Federal Plaza

Chris Murphy: "They're sitting there telling the American people that 2+2=7...those were attack plans, those were war plans, that was classified information, everybody knows it. The idea that they think they can get away with this level of gaslighting- it just strikes at the foundation of democracy"

Trump has done more to damage the United States than any terrorist organization in the last 30 years.

Every GOP member should be asked, “Is Russia a cybersecurity threat? Would you sign in on an open WiFi in Moscow?”

Unbelievable. NIH's websites are get >1 billion hits a year from people all over the globe looking for reliable health information.

“You’re terminated because…?”

Fired federal employees are telling their stories—no deep state, just career public servants tossed aside.

DOGE’s mass firings aren’t about efficiency—they’re gutting expertise, wrecking lives, and calling it “reform.”

An estimated 6,000 veterans across federal agencies have been fired by Elon Musk and DOGE, according to a report by House Appropriations Commitee Democrats.

McGovern: To the gentleman who just spoke from South Carolina, he may need reminder, maybe he could do a town hall in his district, 74,000 of his constituents receive coverage under the affordable care act. By supporting this resolution, he's betraying the..

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

Believing that Kash Patel — conspiracy theorist, radical extremist, staunch MAGA loyalist, and newly confirmed FBI Director — is acting in the interests of the United States requires an extraordinary level of self-delusion.

"Will Elon Musk submit to a drug test?"

Lots of talk and not enough action dude. Seeing more and more bs by Trump continue to go unchecked. What are you going to do about it?

Kash Patel once suggested that people in government “all have to agree with the commander in chief” or they could be “thrown in jail.”

USDA accidentally fired officials working on bird flu and is now trying to rehire them An Agriculture Department spokesperson told NBC News that officials are "working to swiftly rectify the situation."

NEWS: USDA is trying to rehire officials who had been working on the bird flu and were mistakenly fired by DOGE.

The reversal comes after a behind-the-scenes pressure campaign, including from some GOP members who raised alarm.

Jim Acosta Calls for News Orgs to Boycott Trump The former CNN anchor is perhaps best known for sparring with Trump in the briefing room during the president’s first term.

Former CNN anchor Jim Acosta has called for reporters and news outlets to band together against the Trump administration after it blacklisted an Associated Press reporter for refusing to call the “Gulf of Mexico” by its new Trump-appointed name.

James Comer had 2 years to dig into all this supposed govt corruption that Musk is “discovering.” That’s what Oversight Committee is supposed to do. Instead, he spent 2 years on Hunter Biden - which resulted in nothing except a James Comer book deal.

Trump wants to dismantle the agency that provides weather forecasts. It will make your life worse The Trump administration and Elon Musk are reportedly taking aim at NOAA, the agency responsible for the National Weather Service and many other crucial functions.

If the weather forecasting industry became privatized, it could leave parts of the country without proper forecasting.

Your Honor, we submit Exhibit “A” into the record.

Trump officials exerting unprecedented control over CDC scientific journal "The MMWR has lost its autonomy," one health official told CBS News.

Tesla Paid Zero Federal Income Tax in 2024, Despite $2.3 Billion in Income This brings Tesla’s average tax rate over the past three years to 0.4 percent.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.

You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?

Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.

You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Gutting USAID threatens billions of dollars for U.S. farms, businesses U.S. businesses that sold goods and services to USAID are in limbo, including American farms dealing in rice, wheat and soybeans.

US farmers sold $2 billion of food to USAID. Not any more.

- US farmers provided 41% of food delivered by USAID
- $340M of purchases/shipments are now paused. Over 680,000 tonnes.
- Food stranded in Houston
- Aid stopped in transit.

The world’s poor starving, food rotting & US farmers screwed.

So when do we get to the point when legacy media all realizes that he really did intend to do all the crazy shit he said he was going to do during the campaign that they ignored or shrugged off because it was just Trump being Trump hyperbole?

Rep. Moskowitz: In November, polls showed that 47% of Republicans wanted Elon Musk very involved with the government. Today that number is 26%

LinkedIn post: On January 24th I formally resigned from my position with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). I started at CDC in 2010, and I have spent 20 years in public service, including my 15 years in service at the federal level. Here is a little bit of what I wrote in my resignation, because I'm not sure that anyone is actually going to read it. "I feel honored to be among the public health professionals that have had the privilege to work at CDC. As I reflect on my own experiences and accomplishments during my time here, I am humbled by the magnitude and the importance of our work. To my colleagues: we have worked together through chaos and uncertainty, transition, reorganization, preparation, and response. You are the most selfless, dedicated, and passionate people I know. I have watched you work around the clock, take additional details, deployments, and responsibilities, try to balance work and family, forego self-care, and keep pushing and work together to protect the public’s health. I’ve seen your sacrifice. I want you to know that your support and guidance has been invaluable, and I am proud of the work we have accomplished together." While I was backing up files I found my oath that I signed in 2010. I believe in our work, and I am sad to be leaving federal service. But I have immense gratitude for all of the opportunities that I've had and the connections that I've made. I will continue to protect the public's health in a different capacity (stay tuned...) but for now, thank you for trusting me.

The policy lead for CDC's H5N1 response has abruptly resigned.

Sources tell me CDC's response to the bird flu pandemic has been severely hobbled by the chaos of the past two weeks.
