It's absolutely insane that Elon Musk and his wrecking crew are saying they're firing entire swaths of our government infrastructure and the press are just like "oh that's sad but what are you gonna do, guess they're fired." It is batshit crazypants, and it's being covered like normal policy choices
The U.S. has two tsunami warning centers, both operated by NOAA. Employees were terminated from these centers today. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center covers Hawaiʻi, and now it is less safe to be near the beach.

I’m participating in the economic blackout today! Any orders received today will be processed tomorrow. Why? All of my payments are processed through major payment processors who happily make money from every transaction.
If you need to shop today, try to shop small and with cash!

The takeover of Twitter was a preview of what we're all living with now and a stark example of why you can't let any one person have too much money: they go insane and make themselves everybody's problem

Many of the White House candidates for high level positions in the Federal government come across as badly qualified for the jobs they are seeking.
If they all happened to be Black, I wonder if they’d instead be rejected as incompetent DEI hires?

Congress controls the power of the purse, but Republicans on Capitol Hill have put up little resistance to efforts by the administration to suspend spending that they've already approved.

I’m going to keep hitting this until they figure it out, because they are it…the Democrats are THE ONLY political opposition. They had three months to prepare for these acts. And they seem surprised and flat footed.
I’m old enough to remember when we had 3 branches of government. Forget checks and balances. I guess we are a Muskocracy now.
