In the three weeks Elon Musk has been in charge of unilaterally slashing government spending, the U.S. government has paid one of his companies, SpaceX, more than $43 million.

After the election, I started reaching out to folks for stories of trans resilience and resistance. That's how I connected with Keira Richards, who founded the Trans-Continental Pipeline less than a year ago (!) and has helped dozens relocate and find community: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Finding my trans community changed my life. Now I help others find theirs.

NEW: Associated Press was banned from the Oval Office event today because it refuses to recognise the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America. The Trump administration again behaving like a despot dictatorship. Thank you to AP for standing up for factual journalism 👏
AP statement on Oval Office access

The Associated Press issued this statement on Tuesday from Executive Editor Julie Pace:

As a global news organization, The Associated Press informs billions of people around the world every day with factual, nonpartisan journalism.Today we were informed by the White House that if AP did not align its editorial standards with President Donald Trump’s executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, AP would be barred from accessing an event in the Oval Office. This afternoon AP’s reporter was blocked from attending an executive order signing.

It is alarming that the Trump administration would punish AP for its independent journalism. Limiting our access to the Oval Office based on the content of AP’s speech not only severely impedes the public’s access to independent news, it plainly violates the First Amendment. 

AP’s guidance on the Gulf of Mexico and Trump’s executive order regarding the name is available here.

Elon Musk doing a Nazi salute at an inauguration rally isn’t edgy—it’s dangerous. This blatant normalization of hate symbols emboldens extremists and erodes decency. Public figures must be held accountable when they cross such lines. We can’t afford silence. #NoToHate

A company established by Kerry TD Danny Healy-Rae has accepted liability for the death of a mother of six in seven High Court. Transferring assets to avoid paying out. Meanwhile they are getting pay rises in their TD roles. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Government should seize the moment, while Musk and Farage are at odds, to close the loophole on foreign donations to UK parties. The danger was always that introducing legislation would trigger a donation. So do it now, before they kiss and make up.

This blog here is like The Onion for neurodivergence, and it often does a much better job at summing up the autistic experience than diagnostic literature
