And Trump will sell these properties to the highest DOGE bidder so they can lease them back to the government! Grift at the highest order! Infuriating!

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.

Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

β€˜A nightmare’: Dozens of Michigan Forest Service workers lose jobs Two union leaders in Michigan confirmed with WCMU that at least 15 people from Huron-Manistee, 14 from Hiawatha and eight from the Ottawa national forests were affected by the layoffs.

Michigan lost 37 USFS workers last week.

"The layoffs exempt wildland firefighters, but local union representative Rick Davis said losing his coworkers still hurts firefighting efforts since many are certified to fight fires and participate in controlled burns."

The wages of the richest 1% have skyrocketed 182% since 1979.Β 

Meanwhile, the wages of the bottom 90% have seen just 44% growth.Β 

Trickle down economics was always a hoax.

FLOW is now available on HBO MAX and I cannot recommend it enough! One of the best films of 2024, good for all ages (3 teens loved it) and visually stunning with fantastic music. Our cat watched most of it intently, too! πŸ₯Ή πŸˆβ€β¬› flowthemovie.com

The Young, Inexperienced Engineers Aiding Elon Musk’s Government Takeover Engineers between 19 and 24, most linked to Musk’s companies, are playing a key role as he seizes control of federal infrastructure.

@wired.com: β€œ6 young menβ€”all apparently between the ages of 19 and 24 who have little to no government experience are now playing critical roles in Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)” & are heading up Musk’s hostile takeover of our government

Elon Musk is the new emperor of misinformation - Kevin Drum Here's the latest from Elon Musk about the LA wildfires: Every single thing on this list is either badly misleading or flat-out wrong: Reservoirs and emergency water tanks were all full before the fir...

Debunking MAGA’s hateful lies about the LA fires: The reservoirs were full, the fire budget was increased, the 12 firefighters fired for refusing to get Covid shots were replaced long ago, the donations to Ukraine were nominal, and on, and on.

So sorry. Yet another rant:

We are losing the information war in real-time. LA is on fire, and the conservatives are seizing the moment, drafting on the fear, the panic, and the pain to target democratic officials, policies, and power centers and salting the earth along the way.

A thread. 🧡

You will read countless times today that the LA mayor cut the LA Fire Department's budget by $23 million.

That is a lie.

The budget was actually *increased* by $50 million.

LA's wildfires sparked by rare collision of climate factors Extremely dry conditions and an hurricane force winds are overlapping unusually late in the year.

Los Angeles received just 0.16 inches of rain since May 2024, the second-driest period on record.

Wildfires are now engulfing the city in January.

But some politicians still claim the climate crisis is a "hoax" as they do the bidding of Big Oil.

What planet are they living on?

Congratulations everyone willing to sacrifice American excellence, pride and freedom (just to start) for better egg prices that you were never going to get in the first place.

I’ll remember your ignorance and apathy with every family ripped apart.
