"The core issue is that Musk and Trump are acting *as if* they hold absolute power, even though they do not," says @chrislhayes.bsky.social. "They are, in that sense, bluffing. But it's a bluff they want to turn into a new reality, one that destroys the American constitutional order."

Every day, these guys offer a new type of "for me but not for thee." This great piece from @metrauxjulia.bsky.social reminds us how integral public health funding can be to those we love most. (Though I think most of us aren't trying to gut the resources and care our loved ones receive!)
Russell Vought is the architect of Project 2025, the force cutting NIH funding. But it's thanks to NIH-funded research that Vought’s daughter had access to some treatments.

“We’re extremely grateful to live in a nation that leads the way on medical innovation,” Vought's then-wife wrote in 2021.

Its architect's daughter has cystic fibrosis—and benefits from a "miracle drug" backed by an agency he's attacking.

Craig McLean, who had been at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for nearly 40 years, spoke out about Sharpiegate, a move that led to serious professional repercussions.

McLean talks to @jackiefmogensen.bsky.social about what he anticipates in Trump’s second term.
I paid the price for speaking out about “Sharpiegate.” Scientists can’t be silent now, either.

The same geniuses who think a handful of trans athletes are “unfair” to women are seemingly fine with firing a female four star Coast Guard admiral without cause.

They don’t give a shit about women.

Imagine if Big Brother were a delusional gamer hopped up on ketamine.
New, by me: Elon Musk's DOGE has taken control of large swathes of Americans' private information held by the U.S. government, representing the widest known compromise of government-held data by a private group of individuals — and little has gotten in their way.

Tulsi Gabbard and the guy with the network of suicide bombers.

Goldman Sachs, Jan 21: "Despite Trump’s comments that the 25% tariff will be implemented in 10 days, we continue to believe the odds of a 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico are low (20%)." Why have analysts been caught so flat-footed by Trump doing *exactly what he said he would*?

Trump has once again openly endorsed ethnic cleansing in Gaza, yet I am only seeing a few in major media use the term

He is unambiguously employing that concept
Trump wants Jordan and Egypt to accept more Palestinian refugees and floats plan to 'clean out' Gaza
Trump said he discussed his vision on a call earlier in the day with King Abdullah II of Jordan and would speak Sunday with President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi of Egypt.
