The Commerce Secretary of the US is telling people to go out and buy stock in a specific company on national television.

And the irony is that his wife, Usha, is Indian American. What a hypocrite!

Chamath Palihapitiya ® Au @chamath Follow Make no mistake, just like in a private company, these are losses. America is deeply unprofitable, far away from breaking even and if outsiders stop lending us money, we will go bankrupt. So, in case you didn't know better, if you are still wishing DOGE to fail, you are wishing for America to default.

“America is deeply unprofitable” it’s a country not a B2B startup you fucking dweeb

Musk claims Social Security is a "gigantic magnet to attract illegal immigrants."

In fact, immigrants here illegally do not collect Social Security. But they pay $25.7 billion a year into it, a recent study found, so these undocumented workers are actually subsidizing Americans.

I agree with Donald Trump that an unelected bureaucrat should be fired.

Let’s start with Elon Musk.

I would simply not have elected a cabal of quacks, cranks, grifters, dingbats and nitwits.

Glad to hear that you are fighting against the freedumbing of America!

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

According to the Trump Golf Tracker, Donald Trump has spent 27% of his presidency golfing so far.

Palestinian Displacement in the West Bank Is Highest Since 1967, Experts Say The Israeli military launched a wide-scale operation last month against militants in several cities in the West Bank. Now, roughly 40,000 Palestinians have fled their homes — the highest since Israel ...

On Friday night, HHS ordered CDC to take down all flu vaccine campaign materials from its website. Materials are starting to come down.
For example, a campaign explaining that flu shot can reduce flu severity from "wild to mild" is now offline. Left image is from Friday, right is now

Meanwhile...

If a woman had 13 kids by four different men, used ketamine and spent all her time running a shadow presidency, I’m not sure our society would celebrate her.

BREAKING: The Senate has confirmed RFK Jr. as HHS Secretary in a 51-48 vote.

Mitch McConnell was the only Republican to vote no.

God help us all.

these cabinet announcements are like an advent calendar counting down to the apocalypse

Dear @Doge

If there is nothing to hide. Hide nothing

This is a chart from a KFF (Kaiser Family Foundation) Tracking Poll on Health Information and Trust conducted in January 2025. Key Points: The chart shows the percentage of Americans who trust various sources for health information. Democrats: have higher trust in health agencies like the CDC, NIH, and FDA compared to Republicans. Republicans: show higher trust in President Trump and his HHS Secretary Nominee, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Independents: generally fall between Democrats and Republicans in their trust levels. Doctors: are the most trusted source of health information across all political affiliations.

This is the damage that right wing disinformation causes, years of sowing seeds of distrust for evidence based medicine and expert analysis and consensus leads to the right trusting charlatans, frauds, and quacks over facts and data.

The National Association of Home Builders explains what happens if we make inputs for home construction, such as Canadian lumber, more expensive.

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive):

1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment*

2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything

3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can

4. Citizens march en mass

But we have a rapist, lying, insurrectionist, idiotic, incontinent, grifting, twice-impeached, convicted felon in the White House

Yeah, that's right.
