More on Bezos from @davidfolkenflik.bsky.social
My take: It's easy to say this but there is no way today's announcement does not have a chilling effect on the newsroom. Bezos has made clear that the Washington Post exists to promote his political ideology.

Young voters really don't like Elon Musk.
His unfavorability is 54% with all voters. 67% with voters under 30.
Feels important for a party that needs to win a much bigger share of young voters.

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.”

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees.
Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law
Time to do things that make him react to you.

When I hear men worshipping guns and talking about how there’s nothing that will stop them from defending their family, my mind goes to Naaman in the Bible. Do you remember Naaman? He was a great military leader, and he also had leprosy.

Trump signed a new executive order that would allow the White House to control independent agencies that have long operated outside its influence, like the FEC, FCC, FTC and SEC. It’s designed to test a once-fringe legal theory which says the president solely controls the entire executive branch.

The Trump administration fired essential USDA bird flu experts, only to panic and rehire them when disaster struck. It’s the same petty move they pulled with nuclear safety workers. These reckless cuts are playing games with public health and national security, unaware of the damage until too late.
