ICYMI: Trump has dropped investigations and enforcement actions against 89 lawbreaking corporations, including:

-42 cases at the CFPB
-15 cases at the DOJ
-6 cases at the EEOC
-7 crypto cases at the SEC

It's a new golden age for corporate criminals.

Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He goes on to suggest that we are suffering from “generational trauma.” This is my response. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

It is your patriotic duty to listen to this speech. Every single word. An essential guide to the deep, unfathomable corruption the new Trump administration is carrying out on a daily basis.
The corruption is so blatant and frequent as to anesthetize us against seeing it as problematic and demanding that it stop. Do not be dulled into thinking it’s okay. Great speech by @chrismurphyct.bsky.social youtu.be/hycoCYenXls?...

Did you know?

There’s a directory of Black farmers: “The Black Farmers Index.”

Buy and uplift local. Many are small-scale specialists and located in urban areas. I found an organic resource in my area that I will definitely check out.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

From an FDA probationary employee: the firings are coming from outside the agency without cause and with zero input from supervisors (as promised.) More firings expected between now and Tuesday. Do not open the termination email before you download your documents and performance evals.

When I heard Musk say this on Tuesday, my assumption was that it was a programming issue. Because I can code and have written to databases and because I am familiar with other examples of default values being misinterpreted.
Yet somehow Musk isn't.

Do I have this right? Elon Musk - the guy in charge of preventing wasteful spending - dropped $40M on a Super Bowl ad?

We could permanently house 800 homeless veterans for $40M. Or provide five million meals to the hungry. Or replace lead pipes in 8,500 homes.

The NFL removed the ‘end racism’ text from their endzones once Trump got elected, in a clear nod to the notion that racism won.

Al Gore pitched a sovereign wealth fund once, but he called it a “lockbox.”

And it existed bc they’d taxed the wealthy a tiny bit, balanced the budget and had a surplus.

And he only wanted the fund to protect Social Security for Americans who weren’t millionaires.

So the GOP mocked it.
