At some point last year, hubby and I decided to pack up our life and hit the road. After a lot of prep, we finally set off with our new home on wheels on Sunday. Not too shabby views for our first stop.

The Trump administration plans to eliminate the EPA’s scientific research arm and lay off more than 1,000 chemists, biologists, and other scientists.

Trump and Elon have been labeling any judge who upholds the law and the Constitution as an activist and arguing that they should be impeached. The Chief Justice of the United States rejected their calls to impeach federal judges who have aggressively pushed back on the administration’s initiatives.

The employees who attempted to stop Musk staffers at the U.S. African Development Foundation have been placed on administrative leave “effective immediately.” The email also stated that during the administrative leave, USADF employees are prohibited from

Judge Theodore D. Chuang of the U.S. District Court in Maryland ruled that the Defendants’ unilateral decision to shut down USAID likely violated the US Constitution. Indefinitely blocked the agency’s dismantling and barred Musk’s staffers from accessing sensitive personal data maintained by USAID.

Every day and in every way, Trump and his cohorts take another shit on the Constitution they have promised to revere and defend.

The Trump administration replaced the top lawyer at the IRS in a shake-up that coincided with efforts by officials to access taxpayer data for immigration enforcement. The chief counsel position is one of the highest-ranking roles at the IRS and one of only two that require Senate confirmation.

A federal judge in Maryland issued an even more sweeping restraining order on Thursday, surpassing an earlier one from the same day. The order broadly prohibits the Trump administration from implementing any future “reductions in force,” such as this week’s directive to terminate half of the

18F, the federal government’s technology shop, was just demolished by Musk’s team. It was a cost-recoverable org, charging agencies for their expertise, using a consulting model. Its cost to government was negligible, its benefits huge. My team there once saved DoD $500 million.

A thread about 18F:

Arab Leaders: Resist Trump Trump just said he wants to invade Gaza, and expel "all" Palestinians there from their homeland. This is completely outrageous, but after all the executive orders he signed his first day in office and

Trump said he wants to take over Gaza and carry out ethnic cleansing under US authority.

Arab leaders must resist Trump at every turn.

The world’s richest man who no one elected just walked into the US Treasury, stole your Social Security number, and Trump let him. You deserve to know why this is happening - call your member of Congress and Senators (202) 224-3121 and ask why.

The breach extends further, giving Musk’s associates access to systems related to employee onboarding, job performance reviews, and healthcare management. This raises serious concerns about potential violations of federal privacy laws, including those protecting health information under HIPAA.

Hey Canada,
Cut the power to the US on Super Bowl Sunday.

‘Make them pay’: Canada puts Trump’s ‘first friend’ Elon Musk’s Tesla in the crosshairs of tariff war Canada’s EV adoption rate is outpacing that of the U.S., with nearly 17% of new cars sold in the third quarter of 2024 being fully electric, compared to just 8% in the US.

My fav photo of me

I accidentally saw an Elon Musk tweet. Every time he tweets mankind loses IQ points like a Christmas tree drops pine needles in February, and the evolution of the human species is delayed by at least another 1000 years. In summary: he's an imbecile, a mass extinction event.
