@jessicasmetana.bsky.social iβm starting to think the Echos pod coverage of Notre Dame MBB is just a version of the Jimmy Kimmel β Matt Damon bit where weβre constantly running out of time, we wish you could have him on the show. (Absolutely not a complaint, I think itβs pretty funny.)
Imagine having the cognitive dissonance to not only create, but proudly and publicly share a graphic with a giant red X through the FEMA logo. Federal agencies are literally being decimated & the field of emergency management will lose critical funding, but hey, at least you got some attention!
WHAT THE F**K!
@liaoffleash.bsky.social good morning, Lia. In your 23andMe article, in the 8th graph you mention βGedMatchβ¦ began selling at-home testing kitsβ¦β GedMatch is not a testing provider and doesnβt sell tests. They help users analyze their DNA matches and provide data tools for those who have taken tests
Key takeaway from DOGE:
Thereβs less government fraud/waste than expected.
This struck me as the perfect distillation of JD Vance. He is a shockingly incurious and unserious guy who has faked his way into the center of power and now thinks heβs the smartest guy in the room.
If the market continues to trend down, and the Atlanta Fed turns out to be right, the midterms will be very interesting.
The battle between republican self preservation and MAGA will be intense

HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDNβT DO IT?
Maybe literally one fucking American newspapers could mention this in their, βthink pieces,β about what happened yesterday.
NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.
Musk reportedly spent $40M on #Superbowl ads calling #USAID wasteful. Hereβs how we
wouldβve spent that $$:
πPurchased HIV treatment from U.S. pharma companies to keep 1M pp alive for 1 year.
Tell Congress to youtu.be/PqUESHfuO_8 #saveforeignaid and #standwithUSAID
welp

Iβll be honest, this week there was more to destroy the rule of law than in trumps first term,
And i have no idea what the Democrats are doing to fight back. Or even saying. Crickets

Everyone who spent the past four years swaddling Trump's open, explicit endorsements of political violence in obfuscatory euphemisms fully owns what's happening right now.
According to NYT: ββThe pardons will also wipe the slate clean for violent offenders who went after the police on Jan. 6 with baseball bats, two-by-fours and bear spray and are serving prison terms, in some cases of more than a decade.β
Nazis: "that's a nazi salute"
Historians: "that's a nazi salute"
Average person: "that's a nazi salute"
The Media: "Elon Musk makes odd gesture throwing his heart to the crowd."
Full & unconditional pardons.
More than 100 officers were injured.
Rioters beat and shocked officer Fanone with a stun gun at the base of his skull. Fanone lost consciousness, which his body camera captured on video.
Others yelled "kill him with his own gun."

He pardoned EVERY SINGLE PERSON... I won't hold my breath for people to be outraged.
USCP: The ticketed areas on the West Front of the U.S. Capitol will now be closed to ticketed guests on Monday, January 20, due to the extremely cold weather. USCP will still have a heightened security posture with increased law enforcement presence. inauguration.dc.gov
Kaitlan Collins: Due to the dangerously cold temperatures expected Monday, President-elect Trump's inauguration is moving indoors, sources tell @alaynatreene, @KateSullivanDC and me. Expect Trump and Vance to be sworn in inside the Capitol Rotunda.
Winter is coming.
Also, Iβm guessing most hotel cancellations are within policy until Saturday or Sunday. Youβre going to see a massive drop in hotel rooms this weekend.
