You gotta admit, their names sure are a cosmic coincidence.

A standing reminder: a small handful of Republicans in Congress could stop this chaos tomorrow. They simply choose not to.

In Davos, the world is watching an American president’s mind dissolve in real time.

The choice is impeachment and removal or calamity for the United States. I don't see how anybody watching Trump's speech in Davos can draw any other conclusion. He's a senile madman.

History will likely teach the US had more to lose by abandoning our European allies than it ever had to gain from Donald Trump

That there’s not a massive, credible, instant, bipartisan impeachment/25th Amendment move over these senseless and destructive Greenland threats is a sign of how broken our politics are — and especially how broken the Republican Party is.

Dear Greenlanders and Danes, We're sorry. He's awful and we don't want this Deepest Apologies, The Citizens Of The United States

It is truly insane to me that our system has the means to end this insanity but the people who can effect it refuse to…even though we are now at a point where in cannot possibly be in their own interest to keep supporting this shitshow

70 years ago today my father took these photographs with his mother's camera. He was 13 years old at the time. This rescue operation led to the establishment of local rescue service ("Eiðis bjargingarfelag") which runs to this day.

The @washingtonpost.com story on Tylenol & autism leaves out a MAJOR 2.5M sibling-controlled study of children in Denmark, which "found no evidence that acetaminophen use during pregnancy was associated with children’s risk of autism, ADHD or intellectual disability." jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

💉🧵PSA 🚨 We don’t know for sure but are very worried RFKJ’s ACIP is about to restrict access to RSV monoclonal immunization for babies (nirsevimab and clesrovimab). If your baby is eligible, get them vaccinated asap. RSV season starts late Oct-early Nov. See below for immunization recommendation info

I went out foraging for medicinal tea. Basswood/Linden flowers and leaves make a light, floral tea that's great for colds, fevers, and just feeling run-down. I collect it every June and dry it to use in the winter.

This is important because every story you are seeing is paired with dozens — hundreds, likely — that you are not. There will surely be follow-up litigation, but this is not something that is being stopped in advance. It's happening, and people are going to die because of it.

- racist DOGE guy (redundant) canned - federal judge upholds birthright citizenship - another judge blocks voluntary resignation - NY state going to court over treasury business - patel put on ice for at least a week

Cui bono? Who benefits? The new administration has done far more to advance the interests of our enemies than those of the US. The impact, objectives and beneficiaries are crystal clear. And yet, none of this is really even being raised or discussed by the media or the opposition.

#Seaglass I have no idea what the pink spiral object is--it's made of ceramic and is pretty cool!

A navigator on large merchant ships told me this morning that the NOAA solar position calendar he regularly uses to compare against his compass is now down. Musk is putting shipping at risk. gml.noaa.gov/grad/solcalc...

Well, I won't be stepping into Aldi any time soon. fortune.com/2025/01/31/a...

NEW — DOGE now has full access to HHS Payment Management System, I’ve learned. The system distributes almost $1 trillion per year in grants (largest in the govt) and supports all of NIH, CDC + many other public health initiatives. Musk guy Luke Farritor is actively delaying payments to recipients.

BREAKING: The White House is preparing an executive order to eliminate the Department of Education, two sources familiar with the plans tell NBC News.

BREAKING: Representatives of Elon Musk’s “DOGE” have gotten into the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, where they have accessed key payment and contracting systems.

Passing on a note from a colleague: People with federal student loans should download their files IMMEDIATELY. These files are currently on the studentaid.gov website, which may get deleted if Trump follows through with his EO to shut down DOE

DC, MD, VA: We'll be outside Treasury at 4:45 PM to ask Elon Musk what he's doing with our money. JOIN US: www.mobilize.us/moveon/event...

New Exclusive building on Wired's reporting: Musk operatives have already pushed live to production extensive code changes to the Treasury Department payment system which makes 95% of fed govs payments. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/musk-...

“It appears as if there is an unelected billionaire more or less running the federal gov right now, who none of us voted for, who seems to be breaking both the law and potentially the constitution all over the place." - Justin Chen, Pres. AFGE local 1003 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Elon Musk is now bragging about getting rid of the team that put together the 'Direct File' tax filing system, which allows citizens to easily file their taxes for free. Direct File is a big target of the for-profit tax prep industry including corporations like Intuit and H&R Block.

Elon Musk's feed is about how USAID needs to die and how the National Endowment for Democracy is a scam. We didn't elect this fool. F--- that guy.

The first Senators to actually do anything about the Trump admin

Wake the fuck up, Democrats and any actual Republican patriots left in Congress. Wake. The. Fuck. Up.

The most common question I receive is how everyday citizens can help in the fight for democracy. My advice, take the first step, start with something small and see what works for you. Here are ten things all of us can do. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...

Who knew Biden could have just stormed into the White House, handed a friendly billionaire the keys to all the federal buildings, fired anyone who might have voted for Trump and imposed the Green New Deal, police, gun and voting reform and Roe v. Wade by force, without barely a peep from Congress.

Without congressional approval or constitutional authority, the richest man in the world has taken over payroll of the US government. How is this not a coup?

You are watching a fascist revolution in real time.

what Musk is doing is as close to the government being taken over by a hostile foreign power in our lifetimes, the coverage should reflect that

it's not hyperbolic to say we're witnessing a coup.

We're witnessing the wholesale hijacking of the federal government by a single billionaire. Struggling to think of a parallel in American history.

maybe there was actually a pretty good reason for the 14th amendment to have banned insurrectionists who tried to overthrow the government from serving in government and the decision to just decide it was a dead letter and ignore it was a horrible mistake?

You guys, we are living through a coup 2.0. Except this time it looks like it will be successful, and a puerile, right-wing billionaire, not even POTUS, is going to be in charge of the U.S. Treasury, government personnel, and basically all of our personal data.

Absolute insanity. www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...

So if I’m understanding today correctly, the world’s richest person Elon Musk, whom no one elected, is taking over federal payment systems and employee data while the federal employees who investigate and prosecute public corruption are being fired en masse.

This is very very bad. Musk wants access to government payment systems. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Fed source to me: “It’s like a bank heist and the bank is America. Not really being hyperbolic to say control of those systems would allow an extremely fast collapse of the economy. Imagine it’s a plumbing system and someone takes a sledgehammer to the central pipe.”
