Trump and Elon made massive cuts to all US weather tracking and warning systems in the spring of 2025.

Two South African billionaires (who don’t believe in democracy) are stealing all of the government’s data on you, ignoring privacy laws, and building the world’s most powerful surveillance apparatus. I’m sure they won’t misuse it!
NEW: For the past three days, DOGE and a handful of Palantir reps, along with dozens of IRS engineers, have been collaborating to build a “mega API” that would potentially allow intentionally siloed IRS data to be viewed in one place.

Every single university president should be asked, in public, why they are not speaking out this way to support all the students currently detained without due process, and all those terrified that they will be next, on every campus in this country. Yes, including Columbia's acting president.

There Is No Method to Trump’s Madness. He’s Simply Insane.
His defenders try to apply reason to his erratic, nonsensical decisions. That’s a fool’s errand—but fools abound in this administration.

Vance saying Sweden is backsliding on free speech, a country that will rigorously defend freedom of speech even at the expense of its own national security, while his own administration is deleting whole datasets and freezing research around words and ideas they don’t like, is simply projection.

The audacity of Vance scolding Europe for having annulled Romanian election results due to Russian interference, representing a president who violently physically attacked the US system of governance and refused to acknowledge his defeat, still claiming the elections was stolen, is simply disgusting

Not a single Republican senator stood against Gabbard -- ignoring the law requiring the director of national intelligence to have deep national-security experience. She has none. She represents the disastrous rise of misplaced power, and a danger to the United States. www.axios.com/2025/02/10/t...
Tulsi Gabbard's intel chief nomination clears key Senate hurdle
Senators voted to limit debate on Gabbard's nomination, paving the way for a final vote later this week.
