A recent report found that Elon Musk faced at least $2.37B in potential legal liability from 11 fed agencies as of Inauguration Day.

As he exits, these agencies are still on DOGE's chopping block or have dropped investigations into his corporations.

See what this was about?

The top five egg producers own roughly half of all U.S. laying hens.

The biggest of those corporations is Cal-Maine, which just announced quarterly profits of $509 million — more than 3x what it made a year ago.

Corporate concentration + bird flu = a price-hiking free for all.

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines.

When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

I’ve been at a workshop in Germany all week and the number of conversations I’ve had about the state of the US is striking. Brilliant scientists are pulling out of conferences in the US because they’re worried about their safety. They don’t want to send their students to meet with collaborators…

A federal judge has ruled that Trump illegally fired NLRB member Gwynne Wilcox and ordered her reinstatement.

This is a huge win for workers and unions — and a crucial reminder that Trump is not all-powerful.

Keep up the fight.

70% of the world’s population has universal healthcare, but not the US

We are the only highly developed nation without it

Our healthcare is twice as expensive as the average wealthy nation

US ranks last among industrial nations for deaths that could be prevented with timely access to healthcare
