Nothing is more rude than sending an email asking for productivity bullet points on a Saturday, ruining a lot of weekends.
“Two sources familiar with the matter, including a Trump administration official, tell Rolling Stone that the replies to the recent Musk OPM email have been flooded with pranks and, in the words of the Trump official, “very rude” emails listing fake, vulgar “accomplishments,”…

Let's be clear about what happened today: Donald Trump tried to cut a giant chunk of government funding — hurting preschoolers, seniors, and veterans.
Trump's illegal shutdown is blocked for now — but don't forget that he tried to cut programs supporting working families.

Counting on this.

AOC saying it out loud: private prison camps are coming to your town, and members of Congress are going to profit off it.
AOC: "I want folks at home to look at what members of Congress are invested in private prisons companies, and look at the votes on this bill. It is atrocious that people are lining their pockets with private prison profits in the name of a horrific tragedy."

No number of pardons or lies will change what happened on January 6. Donald Trump can’t change history. It was domestic terrorism, it was treason, plain and simple.

We're just hours away from swearing in Donald Trump as President of the United States again.
Though the days ahead may seem dark, we must continue to fight for the protection of our democracy.

Please read this piece. Phil has reported on the activities of racist white Christian nationalists in Tennessee, and they (and their allies) have come after him in the most vile ways. This is what they do, and the world needs to know.
A personal reflection: “Journalists like myself have a choice: surrender to the fascist mob that wants to intimidate the truth-tellers – or rededicate ourselves to doing what’s right no matter the cost.” www.newschannel5.com/news/newscha...
Phil Williams: In reporting on hate and extremism, 'while the attacks are personal, so is the cause'

@nc5philwilliams.bsky.social is an excellent investigative journalist. Fortunate to have seen him speak at my son’s high school graduation ceremony.
I’m finally ready to move on from that other place! What I want for Christmas (or at least New Year’s Day) is to reach 50K here! Can you please help this hard-hitting, democracy-defending investigative reporter get there? Happy Holidays!

The other exploding area of dark money in politics is the crypto lobby.
They have dumped insane sums in elections in both parties (Dem primaries + GOP general elections).

It's called cryptocurrency, but new FDIC data shows that most Americans don't use it as currency—they mainly hold on to it for price gains, not for transfers or purchases.
