Just to put the goal of Musk's efficiency campaign: The total federal government budget is about 25 billion dollars a year. One way of looking at these numbers is to consider: If we fired the entire federal workforce, EVERY YEAR, for ten years in a row, we wouldn't reach Musk's 3Trillion taxcut.

Sometimes self-government just means elections. And sometimes it means recognizing the deeper dignity and meaning of what it means to be a people. That means speaking up, standing out, and protesting. We can only be free together. snyder.substack.com/p/the-logic-...

On January 9th Trump claimed that low water levels accounted for California wildfires.NOT TRUE Last week,Donald stated that the military entered CA at his insistence and "turned on the water" to help with fires.NOT TRUE. Yesterday water diverted, but can't cross the Mts. to reach LA. He's insane.

Yesterday, Karoline Leavitt stated at the WH presser that "tens of millions of Americans had died from Fentanyl overdoses" as a justification for placing tariffs on our close allies, Mexico and Canada. She's off by roughly ten million. www.statista.com/statistics/8...

First Trump lied that water levels were low in So California. Then he lied that he had Army Corps "turned on the water". Yesterday, after the fires were contained, water was sent south, but can't possibly come near the fire zones. Rewriting history will not erase his lies or put out fires.

When Trump paused federal funding to all grants and loans, it plunged scientific research into chaos. Though the freeze was rescinded for some sectors, it's still in largely place for universities and research institutions. The damage will be lasting.

Clinical trials may have to be scrapped, research applications will be pushed back, and unpaid researchers will quickly leave the sector—even if the Trump administration’s funding pause is only…

Whenever I had a discussion with a climate denier I'd send them to websites at NOAA, NASA, DOA, among others that had evidence based data to explainthe forces of a disturbed planet. Day 10: DOA instructed to scrub their website of Climate Change Facts. Watch the news... NOAA and NASA will be next.
