Staff at the key cybersecurity agency were initially excluded from government efforts to leave their jobs, but then on Wednesday, they were given deferred resignation offers with just hours to decide.
Trump on his tariffs: “Will there be some pain? Yes, maybe (and maybe not!)”
*Trump will not experience this pain. Who will? Almost everyone else.
Please read below. Significant economic damage is on the horizon.
The Trump admin just put a hold on all federal grants and loans — affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.
The reason: To ensure programs are consistent with Trump’s orders banning DEI initiatives and clean energy spending, among other measures. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
This is perfection. @crampell.bsky.social is soooo smart.
In the wake of January 6, there was a thing January 6 researchers liked to say: the insurrection is ongoing. The response from many online was—oh, how droll, how arch, how emptily provocative.
But we meant it. We were dead serious.
Now we see that his pardons were part of a continued insurrection.
I have and will continue to. But you know why I say it here ? Because @bsky.app is 30m strong and growing quickly. The collective wisdom and influence of users here is far greater than any individual democrat.
I can't say it enough. Bluesky can be the influence that can counter RW media.
PROOF’s energetic foray into a new breed of journalism—“leopard journalism”—continues in the report below.
Journalism needs new tools for an era of unabashed fascism, corruption, and autocracy in Washington.
“Leopard Journalism” offers a way forward that is substantive, provocative, and impactful.
We’re still in this thing, and victory will happen… but it’s not automatic. My latest:

News headline about RFK Jr. admitting he did not disclose earnings from his anti-vaccine nonprofit, with an image of RFK Jr. in a suit against a colorful background of money, syringes, and vaccine vials.
RFK, Jr. claimed his anti-vax work was a labor of love that cost him friendships. He said he’d never made money from it. But now he admits he made (checks notes) $1.2 million from it. How do you “forget” about that much money?
When will people in law enforcement understand that this whole crew is just a gang of low-rent criminals who represent everything you are supposed to be against and are not your buddies
They have contempt for you, contempt for what you do, contempt for what you believe in, contempt for your friends

2025 will see proliferation of so-called bounty bills targeting trans people, librarians, abortion services and more.
Greenland? Panama Canal? Gulf of America? It is NOT just a distraction. It’s about nationalism—the concept that only one’s own nation state matters. Good article from a few years back magazine.utoronto.ca/opinion/the-...
And for the English majors…
Switching to private is all about profiteering
The Elongelicals are just as sensitive as the Trumpists. Got some new hate mail after I was quoted in this report.
I'll say again what I've said before: the long-term—not short-term—solution to the slide into fascism America is experiencing is the expansion of a liberal arts education to more Americans.
Until more Americans are media literate, digitally literate, and have a basic grasp of logic, we are screwed.
This underscores that Republicans need America to be poorly educated. They need fewer Americans to have a liberal arts education. They need fewer Americans to be able to spot their glaring fallacies. And as I wrote in my pinned report, the man most against education in America may be President Musk.
Translation: This GOP senator treated as impeachable offenses any non-politically involved member of the Biden "family"—not Biden—having foreign business interests in the way Ivanka and Jared did while working in the White House, but far worse conflicts in a GOP co-POTUS are a "laughable" non-issue.
The Georgia Court of Appeals has disqualified Fani Willis from prosecuting the Georgia case against Trump and his co-defendants. It did not throw out the indictment against the defendants, however.
"The remedy crafted by the trial court to prevent an ongoing appearance of impropriety did nothing
The image includes a tweet by Ron Filipkowski, which reads: "Spoken like a man who has never run for reelection after shutting down the government 5 days before Christmas." Below this, there is a screenshot of a tweet by Elon Musk stating: "No bills should be passed Congress until Jan 20, when @realDonaldTrump takes office. None. Zero."
Nothing worse than a man who think he knows everything just because he’s loaded.
(This could also describe Pete Hegseth, but for another reason entirely. 🍸 🍹🍷 🍺 )
Nothing to see here, just the incoming president's son announcing the incoming president's new business in Saudi Arabia that he's been working on
Oh listen, we aren’t afraid. My response to Trumps threat:
