It’s been a long day, but in short, bullies ain’t shit! I don’t care what title you hold! This isn’t some long gone reality tv show or failed casino; it is war!

How dare a draft dodging dumb dupe humiliate an ally & berate a brave man who has actually been on a battlefield for his people?!

This First Lady only visits DC - like a tourist. She will only go to DC when it benefits her per$onally. Like shooting a doc for which she’s collecting 70% of the amount offered by Amazon. www.thedailybeast.com//melania-tru...

To help homes survive more intense disasters, FEMA has been developing recommendations for stronger building codes. The Trump Administration has pulled them back.

The work of @joshcowenmsu.bsky.social is key to understanding the voucher issue:
“The widespread adoption of vouchers, Cowen explains, was a policy coup staged by billionaires who were libertarians or religious zealots or both.”

Yet vouchers don’t work.

So honored by The Privateers review from the great @dianeravitch.bsky.social @nybooks.com

I wonder what would happen if @wyden.senate.gov @murray.senate.gov asked GAO to investigate whether DOGE's "receipts" claiming savings amounts to fraud.

Honestly, it's the only fraud found so far.

DOGE released data about federal contract savings. It doesn't add up
A new government tracker claims DOGE has saved billions from ending federal contracts. But an NPR analysis of the data finds the claimed savings don't add up.

The federal government has historically discriminated against Black farmers. The recent funding halt from the Trump administration presents yet another hurdle to those who have spent decades fighting for equity in farming.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Let’s be clear: This is yet another sign of the Trump administration’s crystal clear embrace of authoritarian ideas, practices, and influencers.

From @davidcorn.bsky.social:
Trump cabinet officials embrace far-right influencer who has praised fascists
Jack Posobiec hailed Francisco Franco and Augusto Pinochet as role models for the MAGA right.
