Trump backed GOP into a big corner with his “balanced budget” point. The ONLY way House GOP could even think about upholding their “no cuts to Medicaid” swing seat promises and their spending cut mandates is deficit spending and bad math. Now they have to gut Medicaid & hand it to Elon in public.

Everything that we warned the American public about regarding RFK Jr. is already happening. An excerpt from an OpEd that @jimalwine.bsky.social and I published. We wrote about about what happened in Samoa with the measles outbreak there and said, simply: “The same will happen here”.

Photo of text from a newspaper article that says “Kennedy advances the lies that vaccines cause autism, increase cancer risk, and result in higher death rates. None of this is true, but Kennedy, a science denialist, will never accept the real scientific evidence showing the safety of vaccines.
His goal is to cause fear over vaccines and public health ini-tiatives, which he does for profit Kennedy will promote decreased vaccine uptake, as he did when he influenced government officials in Samoa to stop measles vaccinations; in the resulting measles epidemic, 83 people died from measles, mostly chil-dren. The same will happen here.”

10 days ago Trump fired hundreds of FAA employees, weakening the systems air traffic controllers rely on. Maybe instead of handing Elon a $2 billion FAA contract, we should use that money to actually hire and retain the workers who keep our skies safe. Just a thought.

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

A poster for the economic blackout on February 28. It is a big red Jack rabbit on an aqua blue back ground. It says economic blackout in hand done black type. There are two black speech bubbles. One says “don’t buy stuff Friday February 28th. The other says we have power. Below it says No Amazon, Walmart, target, gas food, gas. Below that it says OK small business, use cash.

Two more points, which are obvious to the people reporting on this. 1) A shit-ton of people in Public Integrity were in early purge bc they were on Trump case. So ~4 of their colleagues joined them today. 2) Both Acting Director & Deputy Director of FBI are from NY and NJ--so some ties to SDNY.

Just to underscore the tension at DOJ at the moment, here's what one federal law enforcement official told me about the acting deputy attorney general: "I, along with other career FBI and DOJ personnel that I’ve spoken with, really have one message for him and that is, “go fuck yourself, traitor.'"

Trump’s feared DOJ enforcer has a secret: He, too, investigated Jan. 6

The acting DOJ official behind a potential witch hunt against prosecutors and FBI agents who investigated the Capitol riot worked on Jan. 6 cases himself.

This is a flamethrower that also effectively torpedoes any possibility that the SDNY will dismiss the case against Adams without scrutiny and ensures any prosecutor filing the dismissal motion would do so at risk of bar discipline. Holy shit

if you need me I'll be shouting this from the nearest rooftop

Image of an excerpted paragraph from an article, reading:

"Believing that there is simply nothing we can do to change the ways things are is exactly how the status quo has always been kept in place. Worse, it’s how the unimaginably wealthy have been able to consolidate power to keep society moving in a direction that keeps them getting richer and richer at everyone else’s expense. And in this moment, what serves their interests is to overwhelm those of us inclined to fight for something better in the world — to the point that we either disconnect, revert to silos, or ignore what’s going on."
