Elon Musk says he’s doing a “corporate takeover” of America… via the postal service.
Elon Musk appears to be potentially looking to seize total control over free communication in America, especially rural America.
Parks, forests, and nature, are economic powerhouses, actually.
If all you care about is the economics when it comes to parks and public lands, then you should want them, because setting aside and preserving nature is actually very good for The Economy.
TheLetterHack livestream on THE US POSTAL SERVICE.
I went on TheLetterHack livestream this past week to talk about the US Postal Service, as a big fan of the postal service.
Return to Normalcy is not progress anyway.
I hope we all realize by now that nothing will ever be the same again, there’s no normal to return to, and let’s face it normal was never all it was cracked up to be. On the anniversary of the pandemic declaration by the WHO, I’m reflecting on the fact that nothing has really ever […]
Medicaid info town hall by Pennsylvania state Rep Kosierowski.
I listened to the whole thing in case you can’t or don’t want to. (Voila, you can thank me later!)
The mass firing of federal workers is a privatization boondoggle to rip off taxpayers and put us into company towns.
It couldn’t be clearer that the whole purpose of firing all these staff is to privatize everything by force, and follow through with their plans to form corporate fiefdoms.
Taxpayer money to be thrown into the nonsense hole.
And I’m sure there’s plenty of scummy clout chasing pathetic scientists and total nonsense believing kook doctors will be willing to follow the politics right into garbage medical disinformation promotion.

CFPB was setting right decades of wrongs, but Elon Musk decided it all belongs to him.
CFPB has been making rules to stop bad actors ripping us off in the financial system. Who gains by supporting rip-offs of the American people exactly?
On cleaving MAGA from the tech tycoon project.
It makes sense to use Steve Bannon’s talking points, because obviously he’s expert in messaging to MAGA.
If anyone’s confused about how Republicans square backing the likes of Trump endorsed Andrew Tate.
If anyone’s wondering how Nancy Mace’s unusual comments were acceptable at a prayer breakfast…
The problem with “no tax on tips” and the tip-ification of the job market.
I recommend listening to AOC’s response to the presidential address purely for the very good explanation of what’s wrong with the idea of “no tax on tips” and the perverse “unintended consequences” that would come out of that. AOC responds to Trump’s Congressional Address | Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez – Mar 6, 2025 I highly recommend keeping […]
Info cocoons and the fired IRS worker saying that silly comment about thinking Trump had “business acumen” .
The fired IRS worker thought Trump had “business acumen” because he was in an info cocoon. He probably watched The Apprentice and believed it was reality not just a fictionalized reality tv show. He was likely well situated enough during the first Trump term to not pay much attention to politics. Many people, even government workers, ignore […]
Even the guy who is Trump aligned and got promoted at Social Security for leaking to DOGE is worried now about DOGE.
We deserve to know what exactly Elon Musk’s hacker gang crew is doing at Social Security, and what “nuances” they don’t understand that may wind up wrecking things for senior citizens.

Less regulation, more misinfo, buyer beware.
In an era of rampant medical misinformation, health claims need scrutiny. Any claim made really – slow down and consider it.
Kash Patel to work from home while Trump claims federal employees who telework are “not working”.
And wow, I wonder why he wants to work from this home so bad, which isn’t even his own.
Another “Manifest Destiny” – in space.
Universe, Discovered weekly newsletter from Dave Eicher, editor-in-chief of Astronomy wrote about the Trump administration’s declaration of pursuit of “manifest destiny into the stars”, saying “Manifest Destiny” of course refers to the 19th-Century American movement that fueled the expansion of the United States across the continent to seize territory, displace Native Americans, cook up a war […]
Dark money has been trying to dismantle the EPA for years.
The EPA is not supposed to consider business, only the effects to public health.
