While I wait for the email that tells me whether I’ve been fired or spared, here’s a thread of things I’ve had the privilege of working on, experiencing, and accomplishing in my 10 months as a federal employee at the Storm Prediction Center.

These companies want to be “non-banks” that can accept deposits of your money and then not have any legal obligations to protect it—which lets them use it to speculate on crypto etc—and not have FDIC insurance. They need to kill the cfpb to do that.

Why does China get lighter tariffs than Mexico or Canada?
Why is USAID - the agency countering China's global influence - being shut down illegally?
Follow the money. Musk and his SV bros will do anything - even pledging allegiance to socialism - to make $$ in China.

Trump was outraged by Bishop Budde’s remarks, and predictably so. Those vested with an abundance of worldly power should find the radical Christian message of mercy hard to hear, Elizabeth Bruenig writes:

A profile of the 3 million federal workers who, btw, are spread across all 50 states - most are located outside of Washington, D.C. 57% (not 80%)are men. 62% white. 20% are Black. I wonder who will these tech efficiency snitches deem lazy and redundant first? Shades of Woodrow Wilson’s presidency.
Trump’s pick to head OMB Russell Vought says he wants government employees “traumatically affected” and “to not want to go to work because they are increasingly viewed as the villains.” Targeting our nation’s public servants is wrong and dangerous.

I keep telling people that social media should not be your source of information and we are experiencing an information hole because local networks and print media are all shuttering and have no strong foothold on social media sites. this will only get worse when the new administration comes in.

🚨 BREAKING: The Biden Admin. just finalized a rule to remove medical debt from credit reports.
Millions of Americans will see their credit scores rise as one of the biggest burdens on working families disappears.
A huge win for people who simply got sick and couldn’t afford the cost.
Thanks, Joe!
