I saw this last evening. I don’t know what it means, if anything.
Poster says “maybe this isn’t real or it was real until a grownup found out about DOGE’s latest. Poster then posts a social security administration reaction to a Wired post about this WIRED article. It reads “This is false. Social security will continue to communicate through any and all mediums.” Also, this alt text thing is a pain and is why I don’t post photos here.

In case you were wondering how using other search engines is going.

Note, DuckDuckGo is even worse.
I searched Ecosia for tornado and clicked on the “news” option. The response reads “Unfortunately we didn’t find any news for “tornado” Try these tips: • Check if you’re browsing in “All regions” as this could mean you don’t see News results • Check that all words are spelled correctly • Try different or fewer keywords

In other news, I figured out how to make the perfect, non scalded or boiling over, chai.

Blue Lotus Chai concentrate + countertop milk steamer pitcher thing.

It’s better than it looks.

Tweet this morning from Vance. If you don’t think upending democracy is the end game read the Musk, Vance, and third beloved Aleksandr Dugin and Curtis Yarvin.
Vance tweets that judges would not be allowed to tell a general how to conduct a military operation or an attorney general in how to use their discretion as a prosecuted. They also aren’t allowed “to control the executive’s legitimate power.”

I happened on this when looking for news radio. This is a conversation justifying ending USAID based on “Christian principles of subsidiarity.”

This concept was new to me, but I guess is in Catholic catechism?

This is something.

Because, yes.
Washington post headline reads “Tech giant Workday lays of 1759 employees to shift to AI.” The top comment reads “Tell me again how it’s immigrants who are taking jobs and being a drain on the system.”

Media presence moves from neoliberal to Far right propaganda machines.

MSM is cowering before oligarchs. Still, cowering might be preferred to bowing in worship, maybe?
Print: New York Times replaced by NY post. TV: NBC replaced NYT One America News Radio: NOR replaced by Breitbart Online News: POLITICO replaced by Huff Post.

PSA: I keep reading competing narratives re the OMB memo and freeze.

It appears the memo was rescinded, but the freeze was not?

We must read carefully, friends.
Screenshot if BBC article quoting the WH press secretary saying that the OMB memo was withdrawn but not the funding freeze.
