i find this notion that public spending is illegitimate bizarre as a matter of economics but totally legible as a statement of moral economy. and as per any strict system of morality, the punishment is part of the appeal. they are punishing the american people for believing in the public good.

DOCUMENT DESTRUCTION:

My reporter Brett Murphy obtained a remarkable directive to folks at USAID: Empty the safes with the classified and personnel records and then,

"Shred as many documents first, and reserve the burn bags for when the shredder becomes unavailable or needs a break."

Musk wasn't elected and didn't get appointed to any positions inside the government. So why does he, or anybody who works for him, have any access to any government systems or facilities?

In Ohio - The state Republican party is admitting that it was a strategy to 'confuse' voters on a ballot measure regarding gerrymandering so it would not pass.

Lets be clear - the Ohio GOP LIED TO VOTERS to influence how people voted.

Tip from @snowjob.bsky.social

If you have a whitehouse.gov link you want to access and it is down, try replacing "www.whitehouse.gov" with "bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov"

The national archives is still doing its job for now.

My husband has a darker complexion and dark hair and eyes. When he was younger he was often mistaken as being Latino. I'm genuinely worried about him being racially profiled. This is such a fun timeline.

Okay maybe I'm missing it but I don't see much independent confirmation of this, but if it IS happening it is *wild*. It would mean they are literally trying to stop biomedical research from happening.
All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

Hi.
A "DEIA" office is in charge of a facility or organization's diversity, equity, inclusion, and ACCESSIBILITY.
Yes, as in, a person's ability to work for or with that department or organization, or to access their business or services.
