So it appears DOGE has decreed that Social Security administration will no longer provide phone support. At all. This is in addition to shutting down a ton of local SSA offices. www.axios.com/2025/03/17/s...

The "Strategic Bitcoin Reserve" boils down to this: Taxpayer money is being STOLEN, without congressional approval, to artificially boost the value of a highly speculative financial asset. You can like that asset, you can dislike that asset, that's your own business. But this is open embezzlement.

Who is House Speaker Mike Johnson's new roommate in Washington D.C.? An evangelical pastor who has attacked the separation of church and state as “a delusional lie” and called multinational institutions “demonic." @propublica.org scoop:
Speaker Mike Johnson Is Living in a D.C. House That Is the Center of a Pastor’s Secretive Influence Campaign
The Capitol Hill townhouse is owned by a major Republican donor. It’s the headquarters of a little-known political influence project that has reached a number of powerful Republican politicians.

Imagine a world where banks can wreck your credit, drain your account with fees, and scam you - without consequences. That's the world Wall Street and billionaires want by killing the CFPB.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options.
Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

We all like to yell at the Democrats, but it’s really Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune who are letting Elon Musk and his faceless goon squad make a mockery of their power as leaders of a coequal branch without uttering a peep or lifting a finger.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Look, this is bad for democracy and all, no doubt. But I also can’t help but notice that NYT’s many years of pandering to Trump and shaping coverage in his favor failed to prevent them getting kicked out of the Pentagon press room.
