Our top story: Jaeson Jones is trained as a cop—not a journalist. Yet the 51-year-old holds a lucrative correspondent contract at one of the country’s most prominent MAGA-aligned television networks. https://www.texasobserver.org/the-border-propagandist/

Inasmuch as tariffs are paid by importers, and therefore consumers, this plan will pay down American deficits using the income of Americans. This is like trying to raise a pig on its own blood.

No expert, but from the relative safety of a fire and climate ravaged island, looks like the US economy is now based on burglary and bullshit.

And with the burglars and bullshitters seizing control ... who's left to rob and con? Themselves?

That letter to US federal employees encouraging them to quit may be illegal.

Per the Anti-Deficiency Act, “no officer or employee of the Government may create or authorize an obligation in excess of the funds available, or in advance of appropriations unless otherwise authorized by law."

Furthermore, OPM “lacks the authority to promise paid leave for government employees other than its own.”

-and-

CONGRESS has to appropriate funds (by March 14 or the gov’t will shut down).

Homan is claiming people in Chicago are so well educated by Know Your Rights pamphlets that ICE is having difficulty arresting people & deporting them.

ICE, w/their guns, battering rams, search warrants & an $8.7 billion budget is being thwarted by pamphlets?!

No, it’s Homan’s failure as a leader.

“The Department of Transportation has released a memo ordering that programs supported or assisted by the agency prioritize funding projects for communities that have above-average marriage and birth rates,” the HuffPost reports.

This is some chilling shit.

Jeffrey Goldberg of the Atlantic just said "Trump plays by a different playbook" as way of excusing his behavior after the plane crash

He has "very different instincts"

That's it. Nothing wrong with it. And everyone on Washington Week agrees. "It's just Trump"

"Aides to Elon Musk have locked career civil servants out of computer systems that contain the personal data of millions of federal employees, according to two agency officials...

The systems include a vast database called Enterprise Human Resources Integration, which contains dates of birth, Social Security numbers, home addresses, pay grades and length of service of government workers.

'We have no visibility into what they are doing with the computer and data systems. That is creating great concern. There is no oversight. It creates real cybersecurity and hacking implications.'"

New York doctor indicted for prescribing #AbortionPill in #Louisiana

By SARA CLINE and GEOFF MULVIHILL
Updated 2:53 PM EST, January 31, 2025

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — "A New York doctor was indicted by a Louisiana grand jury on Friday for allegedly prescribing an abortion pill online in the #DeepSouth state, which has one of the strictest near-total #AbortionBans in the country.

"Grand jurors at the District Court for the Parish of West Baton Rouge issued an indictment against Dr. #MargaretCarpenter; her company, #NightingaleMedical, PC; and a third person. All three were charged with #CriminalAbortion by means of #abortion-inducing drugs, a #felony.

"The case appears to be the first instance of criminal charges against a doctor accused of sending abortion pills to another state, at least since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned #RoeVWade in 2022 and opened the door for states to have strict anti-abortion laws."

Hey guys did you know hiring people with darker skin and funny accents causes plane crashes?

Just ask #trump cuz he is blaming the plane accident in #washingtondc on diversity hiring practices.

Not him gutting the FAA like a definition of the stupidest person I know.

You know what the last thing I would ever cut is?

The guy in charge of whether flying planes is perfectly safe or 100% deadly for everyone involved.

Reminder to journalists/reporters. You’re not covering Trump or the White House or “politics.”

You’re covering THE TRUTH and how Trump and his administration stand in relation to it.

In stormy waters, it’s critical to have an anchor.

"The earnings report comes on the heels of a disappointing production & delivery report, in which the company revealed that its sales had fallen year over year... Tesla’s lineup is increasingly looking a little stale, especially in the company’s most important market of #China, where domestic automakers continue to churn out new, cheap technologically impressive EVs."

It's Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion.

DEI means you don't deliberately ignore part of the population simply because you don't like their colour, gender, religion, height, weight, their wheelchair, limp, or missing arm.

DEI does NOT mean you have to hire inappropriate or unqualified people because the government says that you must do so, or else.

DEi 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦𝘴 the pool of people you can hire from, not 𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘦𝘴 it.

"Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.), who was thought to be open to voting for Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s nomination to head the Department of Health and Human Services, now says the nominee is in serious trouble after his rocky confirmation hearing.

“I don’t think it went well for him today. I don’t think that was a good one,” he said after Kennedy sparred with Democrats on the Senate Finance Committee over his past statements and stance on vaccines."

"mainstream" media has a very strong long-term persistent right-wing bias.

"mainstream" media is right-wing media, just a slightly less obnoxious version of it than Fox or Breitbart.

With ShitMedia Corps, any time profits conflict with quality journalism the truth gets trashed, the fascists get coddled and the public gets screwed.

CBS has a Massive Pro-Fascist Bias.

The American people need to know that.

Canadian polling firms have polled and have determined a $00.30 - $00.70 increase per gallon of oil is what 66% of Americans said it untenable and the Canadian government should target that higher range.

The former Transportation Secretary, Pete Buttigieg, sets the story straight.

Trump is wretched & disrespectful, as usual, regarding the tragic air crash.

The image contains a tweet by Pete Buttigieg criticizing President Trump for his handling of safety in air traffic control and military oversight. The text emphasizes accountability and the need for leadership during a time of crisis.
