BREAKING: Federal unions, represented by @democracyforward.bsky.social, sue to block DOGE from accessing sensitive Department of Labor data. This marks the latest lawsuit against the faux agency for attempting to unlawfully obtain government information.

"The soaring price of eggs has forced Waffle House to add a temporary surcharge on customers’ orders. The Georgia-based chain is adding a 50-cent charge per egg because of the 'nationwide rise in cost of eggs,' according to signs posted at its restaurants."

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out. This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

1. BREAKING Several of Elon Musk’s associates installed at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) — including two recent high school graduates — have received unprecedented access to federal human resources databases containing sensitive personal information for millions of federal employees.

We need a group of lawyers who are willing to take every lawsuit from every fired federal employee to the max. Bury this admin in lawsuits

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.

I went to post about the National Japanese American Memorial in D.C., which is beautiful but usually missed by tourists. It is a deeply staggering admission of guilt and a warning to future Americans. I went to link to the inscriptions and- Well, they took the site down. www.nps.gov/places/japan...

Thank goodness: after an outpouring of public dissent, Lackland reversed its terrible decision and will thankfully be teaching recruits about the Tuskegee airmen and the Women Airforce Service Pilots again. A reminder that we must always push back: www.expressnews.com/news/article...

I talked to the Black residents of Altadena who say they’ve lost everything but hope. “When you escape tragedy, you say, ‘it could have got me.’ It didn’t. So I’m going to keep on going,” said 83-year-old Walt Butler.

BREAKING: California has banned insurers from canceling or not renewing residential property policies in the Los Angeles neighborhoods that were affected by the massive wildfires across the city. This ban is in place for one year.

Airbnb offers temporary housing to people impacted by Los Angeles wildfires

Seems strange to lead with "get rid of factcheckers" instead of the new horrifically bigoted anti-LGBQT anti-moderation policies.

It’s funny Zuck says “I started building social media to give people a voice” when in fact, he started building social media to publicly rate the hotness of undergrads.

Amazon delivery drivers at seven hubs are striking just before Christmas because the company “pushed workers to the limit,” a union said

It's going to be a long four years.

I just read the NYTimes article about "What if A.I. is actually good for Hollywood?" And the misconception that angers me the most is the belief that craftsfolk and crews exist to execute a director/showrunner's vision. Crews don't get the spotlight but they are crucial to creative collaboration.

Secret Level - Honor of Kings is out today. I had the honor and pleasure of playing Yi Xing's father.

NEW: After reviewing leaked documents, we have found UnitedHealth is strategically limiting access to a treatment for thousands of children with autism across the country in order to cut costs. Advocates say the company’s strategy may be illegal. www.propublica.org/article/unit... 👇

As I’ve been saying for over a year: If your business model doesn’t work without violating the law, you’re not in business — you’re in organized crime. Great reporting by @elainelow.bsky.social. theankler.com/p/tv-writers...

Reality for Musk/DOGE: “While federal spending has grown sharply and regulation is arguably in need of correction, there is no such long-run trend in federal employment, and firing lots of federal workers would not in itself result in much savings or deregulation.” www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...
