Seems like a great improvement.

Paul Martin, the inspector general for the USAID, has been fired after resisting the administration. Just a day ago, his office released a report warning that staff reductions and spending freezes put hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars at risk of misuse and waste. This is the way.

"Daddy says he owns you. Can you get me an ice cream?"

Acting EPA Administrator James Payne has dismissed all members of two of the agency’s most influential science advisory panels, allowing the Trump administration to reshape them.

It continues. It’s

And so it begins. These people will not storm the Capital building. They will not assault police officers or hang gallows for bureaucrats. They respect the peaceful transfer of power. Anyone who says the two parties are the same are blatantly wrong. They are not, we are not. #resist

Minnesota Republicans are attempting to hijack the state legislature—holding a sham election after the House was adjourned. These assaults on democracy by the GOP are a new normal. Let's fight back, from the state house to the White House.

Dear god, someone make him stop the capitalizing-for-emphasis crap. I can’t listen to him speak, and it’s almost as bad reading his poorly written releases, whether authored by him or not.

Dallas Black Dance Theatre fired all of its dancers just days before the season was set to start because they attempted to unionize. On Sunday, the theater reached a $560k settlement with 10 retired dancers — and it agreed to write personal apologies to each one. thebarbedwire.com/2024/12/10/t...

NOBODY KNOWS just how many Americans per year are killed off by health insurance companies delaying and denying coverage because they DON’T SHARE THE DATA.

Thoughts?

The trickle-down myth is deeply embedded in the American psyche and it’s beyond time to excise it.

At the end of the day, don’t we all just want a bookshelf with a rolling ladder?

President Biden appointing 61 Black LIFETIME judges during his time in office is a serious flex. He understood the damn assignment.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing. They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays. The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k. www.businessinsider.com/denver-basic...

Fri & Sat -> 'Izzie M: The Alchemy of Enfreakment' explores settler exploitation of Indigenous culture. Creator Monique Mojica drew upon her own family's experience in an amusement park sideshow in the 1930s.

It’s really something to watch the Party whose supporters poop on the floor in the Capitol and wipe their feces on the wall tell us which bathrooms to use.

Last year, when I was at MSNBC, I did a 10-minute deep-dive into RFK Jr's anti-vaxxer role in the measles outbreak that killed dozens and dozens of kids in Samoa. I hope every Senator voting in his confirmation process for HHS knows about this crucial and awful story:
