Are programs to help buy energy efficient appliances (induction stove) still functioning in 2025? 🤔

Here's @bluestein.bsky.social's uncensored thread of the town hall held by Rep. Rich McCormick (R-GA), in which an unhappy audience pushes back against DOGE cuts: threadreaderapp.com/thread/18927...
Over on X, simple tweets by my colleague Greg Bluestein of the Atlanta Journal Constitution have been blocked. They were nothing but video of a town hall held by Rep. Rich McCormick R-GA where he was asked questions about DOGE

The Google AI results at the top of searches are so pointless. We have a resource (the internet!) that knows everything, and instead of going to the source, it's like you asked your stupid cousin who is trying to recall the information from a podcast he heard last week.

the “administrative state” in practice is a lot of very hard working, practically anonymous people doing the thankless work of making this country run and a drug-addled dipshit is slandering them in order to steal our money for himself
not trying to pick on this guy. this just reminded me that the federal government does not provide coffee to workers. to drink coffee at a federal office you generally have to pay into a "coffee club" that is managed by a staffer who volunteers to collect money and purchase a monthly coffee supply.

Alright, I finally listened to Kristin’s episode on @hyperfixedpod.bsky.social after starting and stopping a couple of times because well, ya know.

I’m glad I did because I have to say about her conclusion: hell yeah.

Thanks, Hyperfixed! In a sea of uncertainty, this episode was a comfort.

The average Fox News viewer has no idea that Musk is tearing down a system that allowed this country to rule the world for the past 75 years. And when their standard of living slips dramatically in the next five years they still won’t understand because their TV will blame it on some poor scapegoat.

His administration is literally composed of men who beat and batter women.
Trump: "My administration will not stand by and watch men beat and batter female athletes. And it's gonna end, and it's ending right now, and nobody is gonna be able to do a damn thing about it, because when I speak, we speak with authority."

What the Democrats should be doing is holding pressers in front of all the government buildings in DC. Their messaging has been terrible and it’s a known fact that a very large percentage of the population don’t know what the hell is going on right now in the government. Time to change the tone!!
