Elon Musk’s staffers are still attempting to manipulate the Treasury payment system to halt the flow of funds following their recent losses. Reminder: U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly has restricted DOGE’s read-only access. No one is above the law.

I read a quote somewhere that “Artists are our emotions first responders.” Lindsay Rush is such a one—she writes poems based on News Headlines people send her. This is her take on Rebecca Shaw’s headline in The Guardian:

Why aren’t we looking into corporate welfare? In the United States, it costs taxpayers billions each year, with estimates ranging from $92 billion to $100 billion annually. Meanwhile, USAID costs only $40 billion. Hmmm… doesn’t add up.

Trump's promise to dismantle the Education Department will likely be more costly for red states than blue. Trump states, on average, use more federal funding in their education apportions than states that voted for Vice President Harris. www.axios.com/2025/02/05/t...

Trump-voting states have more to lose if Education Department dismantled

States that voted for Trump receive more federal education funds than those that voted for Harris.

“If your bank failed, you lost any savings you had there. Politicians and even bankers in the 20th century wanted to end the cycle of devastating depressions, which is why we have so many financial regulations today. The Trump administration wants to roll back as many regulations as they can…”

Approximately 20 members of Elon Musk’s staff have begun working within the Education Department. They have gained access to multiple sensitive internal systems, including a financial aid dataset containing the personal information of millions of students enrolled in the federal student aid program.

The world’s richest man who no one elected just walked into the US Treasury, stole your Social Security number, and Trump let him. You deserve to know why this is happening - call your member of Congress and Senators (202) 224-3121 and ask why.

Today’s pairing features the same cheese+crackers as yesterday but with a much more knitting-friendly New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc that still tastes good even after being opened a few days ago. Unfortunately I didn’t get to go to NZ myself to pick it out but rather down the highway to Costco again🧶🍷

Yesterday’s wine pairing: A lovely Malbec with English Country Cheddar and crackers from Costco as well as gorgeous teal yarn that is not from Costco. Yeah I normally pair white wine with knitting but we’re living dangerously here… 🧶🍷

Weird knitting pet peeve of the day: When a little fray on your fingernail keeps catching your yarn so you trim it and file it like 3 times, but you just seem to be making it worse 🤦🏻‍♀️

Folks, if you have a cold sore, exercise extra caution around babies. Cold sores are caused by a virus (HSV-1) and a primary infection in a newborn can be quite dangerous. I actually canceled my trip to see my little grandchild (for the 1st time) because I had a cold sore crop up 2 days ago.

I had polio when i was 9. I was taken from my parents & placed in a Hospital for contageous diseases- the polio ward. I would see them once a week - thru the glass window at the end of my ward. I could not walk. It was terrifying. Kids died. Iron lungs were awful. Dont let RFK Jr ban the vaccine

TFW you realize you need to knit a mock-up of a good-size portion of your upcoming mkal shawl to account for a certain gauge element over a big area and also decide on stitch motif placement. #knitting

Hand knits and crochet on the tree 🎄 The tiny mitten and little tree were knit by my grandmother, and the crochet heart was a gift from a member of my first knit group back in Maine (circa 1990?). Got any special ornaments made of yarn on your tree? #Knitting

It’s cold out, so time for a warmer sweater. I loved knitting this one since you only have to cable every tenth round—plus, it’s a nice fit. Not too oversized for a drop shoulder. #knitting

a man who gets an email like this from his own mother should be legally required to reveal it to every woman he ever meets ever ever

The following is the text of the email that Penelope Hegseth sent to her son, Pete Hegseth, on April 30, 2018, as he was in the middle of divorcing his wife, Samantha. One sentence was redacted by The New York Times for privacy reasons.

Son,
I have tried to keep quiet about your character and behavior, but after listening to the way you made Samantha feel today, I cannot stay silent. And as a woman and your mother I feel I must speak out..
You are an abuser of women — that is the ugly truth and I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego. You are that man (and have been for years) and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth.
I am not a saint, far from it.. so don't throw that in my face, but your abuse over the years to women (dishonesty, sleeping around, betrayal, debasing, belittling) needs to be called out.

Sam is a good mother and a good person (under the circumstances that you created) and I know deep down you know that. For you to try to label her as
"unstable" for your own advantage is despicable and abusive. Is there any sense of decency left in you? She did not ask for or deserve any of what has come to her by your hand. Neither did Meredith.
I know you think this is one big competition and that we have taken her side... bunk... we are on the side of good and that is not you. (Go ahead and call me self-righteous, I dont' care)
Don't you dare run to her and cry foul that we shared with us... that's what babies do. It's time for someone (I wish it was a strong man) to stand up to your abusive behavior and call it out, especially against women

We still love you, but we are broken by your behavior and lack of character. I don't want to write emails like this and never thought I would. If it damages our relationship further, then so be it, but at least I have said my piece. [Redacted]
And yes, we are praying for you (and you don't deserve to know how we are praying, so skip the snarky reply)
I don't want an answer to this... I don't want to debate with you. You twist and abuse everything I say anyway. But...
On behalf of all the women (and I know it's many) you have abused in some way, I say... get some help and take an honest look at yourself...
Mom

Trigger Warning: Taking scissors to your #knitting is not recommended unless you’re a little wackypants (like me) and EXTREMELY sure that you’ve properly secured the sts above the cut. I was but it was still stressful! Yes, I could’ve made 1 tiny snip below the secured sts, but I had enough yarn

It’s finally cooling off in western mass, so I dug through my sweater boxes and pulled out my Groot cardigan (of the galaxy 🙃) this morning. The yarn I used has been dc’d, so I’m curious what your favorite heavy worsted/light Aran weight yarns are for cables like these? #knitting
