We embarked on this journey because, fundamentally, we felt the corporate news had lost its humanity and turned politics into a bizarre reality show. We wanted to connect to basic values and principles—and dignity and democracy. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Trump has been trying to bully Maine Governor Janet Mills. A fight he is not winning.

Her unwillingness to back down, similar to Boston Mayor @wutrain.bsky.social, is a lesson that could be well learned by some universities and law firms in our midst. 1/

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away.

They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

Trump: "When you take away that artificial line that looks like it was done by a ruler ... you look at that beautiful formation of Canada and the US, there is no place anywhere in the world that looks like that. And then if you add Greenland, that's pretty good."

The key point that was made in this clip is that it happened organically. We don’t come from the consultant class, we get zero legacy media hype, we don’t get invited on shows & don’t want to be on TV, no big money donors writing checks. It all happened one person at a time. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

AND ALSO THERE'S A COUP
Rep Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) to ABC:

“We were told that grocery prices would go down on day one, on January 20. Costs aren't lower, in fact, costs are increasing. The price of eggs is skyrocketing out of control”

2. Help Democrats

The success of any opposition rests on the opposing party taking power. Next time you want to attack a Democrat for being too much of this or too little of that, realize that you are only helping the GOP. Instead, find a Democrat you support and volunteer for their campaign.

The entire contents of Waste.gov, the website tracking government "waste" are from a default WordPress theme about an imaginary architecture firm.

Musk said yesterday DOGE is "maximally transparent" and all actions are being tracked on website:

Just minor errors right?
👀 DOJ acknowledges making two significant errors during a court hearing last week on efforts to dismantle USAID

1) It said only 500 employees had been placed on leave. Actual number was 2,140.

2) Said only future contracts were stopped. Existing contracts were also stopped.

Along with physically going to the Treasury, the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee (Durbin) should refer the matter to the DOJ for investigation and formally request that the FBI arrest Musk.

When DOJ declines on orders from Trump, explain the gravity of this to the American people.
Musk and his allies are ransacking the federal treasury, gaining access to closely guarded payment systems that disburse trillions of dollars and hold massive amounts of incredibly sensitive information—including Social Security numbers. Just a terrifying development. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

If each Treasury payee is a separate record, and there are, say, 68,000,000 social security payees (as is estimated), then at $5000 per violation, it seems like Elon could be penalized $340 billion if he unlawfully accessed their Treasury records...
