I disowned my son for voting Trump. And I'm proud of it. He turned into an asshole! Along with my sister and my brother as well! Seems like I'm the only sane one in the family.

One way to understand what’s happening is that Republicans want to do to academia - colleges, universities, science, medical research - what they did to labor.

This is more important than you realize. Bluesky doesn’t downgrade links. Which means news sites will get more traffic from here than other sites.

Which gives them economic reasons to post here first.
Bluesky says it is now sending referral traffic through its "go" subdomain to make it easier for publishers to track the traffic coming from the social network (Sarah Perez/TechCrunch)

Is it at all surprising that a convicted felon would ignore a judge's order?

Through comments, I learned about other big myths Americans believe about foreign aid:
1/ it's risen past 1% in recent years, esp. due to Ukraine - false, max is about 0.5% in 2022 $80B
2/ it's used mostly *not* for humanitarian aid - nope
3/ It's mainly about military objectives - nope

Get them out of government. Most not old enough to be elected to anything. One suspects they are part of Musk’s gaming posse.

This "DOGE engineers" thing is bullshit!

They are boy hackers! Plain and simple

Literally have been telling this dude this for a very long time. Keep up, Chuck. Also: WTF are you going to do about it?
An unelected shadow government is conducting a hostile takeover of the federal government.

DOGE is not a real government agency.
DOGE has no authority to make spending decisions.
DOGE has no authority to shut programs down or to ignore federal law.
DOGE’s conduct cannot be allowed to stand.

NEW: Elon Musk’s attack on USAID has cut HIV/AIDS workers off from medicine and money.

The Trump Administration claims it is allowing “lifesaving” foreign aid to continue, but in reality, DOGE is preventing vital work on HIV and AIDS from saving lives. Read our scoop here:

Trump has no idea whatsoever what Musk is actually doing even though he also signed the executive order giving DOGE “full and prompt access to all unclassified agency records, software systems, and IT systems."
REPORTER: Does Musk or anyone at DOGE have direct access through the government systems to how money is dispersed?

TRUMP: No. Nothing.

I read some posts from people who claim not to be maggot, but dogging the Democrats not that there is some work to be done but they didn't vote. They claim not to be but I said by default you allowed the putrid Orange to take power. So yes you're a maggot!
