Really proud of my senator.
News on Trump-Musk scandal at Treasury from Ron Wyden: The admin now claims Musk takeover merely expands previous "audit" under Biden.

But Wyden tells me former Treasury officials have informed him this is highly implausible.

"A cover-up," Wyden says. Lots more here

Trump-Musk Purge Scandal at Treasury Takes Yet Another Unsettling Turn
As the Treasury Department offers some new spin about Elon Musk's takeover of payment systems and ousting of a top career official, Senator Ron Wyden tells us why this "reeks of a cover-up."

Please share your favorite Melvins record, and why it's your fave. Are there others I need to give a listen even if they're not your favorite?

100% my experience, too. For which I’m eternally grateful.

We need some serious How to Human classes right now.

Portland police did the same thing for years, only they announced it
This is really damning. NJ State Troopers, unhappy with a report on racial bias incidents, just stopped doing traffic enforcement, and seemingly weren’t on the roads (as evidenced by a vehicle from a fatal hit and run being abandoned for hours before anyone noticed).
For eight months, traffic enforcement citations on New Jersey’s highways plummeted by 81% compared with the year before. The unrivaled reduction is now the subject of a criminal investigation.

I feel like the important context for RFK, Jr.’s brain worm has been lost:

He claimed a worm ate his brain while in divorce court in order to prove that he was too MENTALLY DISABLED TO PAY CHILD SUPPORT.

Trump wants to make this man the head of the largest health organization in the United States.

Remember the rules here: Don’t ever engage, just block.

It’s still a lot of randos coming into posts to antagonize or debate on purpose. Dont fall for the okeedoke. If the vibes are weird block

Also remember that you can detach quotes, hide bad replies, and blocking here is nuclear

Here’s a few things you can expect temporarily when there’s an outage:

- “Invalid Handle” everywhere
- Likes don’t seem to work (they’re just being slow)
- Your post isn’t showing up (same, just being slow)
- Random errors or blank screens, the usual app broken stuff
