We need to know how many lawmakers are aligned with Andrew Tate.
The New Republic Edith Olmsted / February 17, 2025 Trump Pressures Romania on Andrew Tate in Stunning New Low The Trump administration is harassing Romania about easing up on the far-right misogynist accused of sex trafficking. Donald Trump is urging a foreign government to relax restrictions on a right-wing influencer charged with human trafficking and rape. […]
Online troll farm mercenaries to be hired by US government to police speech online.
There are operatives celebrating a boon in their job market.
By “fix our forests” they mean they want to clear cut down our forests without our input.
We like our trees on the public lands, the parks, the forests, the game lands, and the national forests. They belong to us.
Undermining the messenger is one of the most effective ways to sabotage a good idea or effective action.
here are business incentives behind this, and lots of methods available to those with lots of money to sabotage opposition.
Accelerationist James Carville at a retreat this week advising House Dems and Dem governors.
The Democrats have an apocalyptic hopium problem. Nobody should be listening to James Carville for any reason.
Offering vaccines at hospitals should be standard across the board.
Now is the time to track your state level legislation around vaccinations. To find out about bills and actions you can sign up for the free citizen level versions of a variety of “bill tracking services” – apps that will send you emails daily or in weekly digests, on topics and keywords you use.
Speak to your own representatives, as a constituent – once more, this time with feeling.
You’re not going to be heard by Hakeem Jeffries unless maybe you’re some kind of business mogul, and maybe, just maybe, if you live in his district.
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.
RFKJr is pushing Great Barrington Declaration “natural herd immunity” eugenics pseudoscience for bird flu.
RFK Jr. warns vaccinating poultry for bird flu could backfire By Alexander Tin March 6, 2025 / 4:00 PM EST / CBS News We’ve in fact said, at the USDA, that they should consider maybe the possibility of letting it run through the flock so that we can identify the birds and preserve the birds that are […]

Case surveillance occurs each time public health […]
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 […]
