    Federal workers facing blacklisting

    A right-wing extremist organization is compiling lists of government employees that it labels as "woke".

    That organization has no real power to hurt them, but it surely believes it is providing guidance for right-wing extremist political appointees who would be glad to punish or fire those employees without bothering to offer justification.

    Treasury onslaught reduced to two people

    The first court rebuke to the muskrat's rampage through government departments has come, denying the muskrat and his followers access to data from the US Treasury.

    The muskrat's rampage can be compared to an ongoing security breach.

    Stockholders' more-info request denied

    Amazon and UnitedHellth have asked the corrupter for favors, which we can presume are in exchange for their million dollar inaugural "donations".

    Wrecker orders reservoirs drained, CA

    The wrecker sabotaged California farmers by opening dams and releasing water that was being saved to give to them in the summer, when they will need it.

    He pretended that this was a way to help fight fires in Los Angeles, but (1) LA does not have a shortage of water overall, and (2) the water will not flow to Los Angeles.

    What LA is short of is capacity to pump water up to the hilly areas where the fires have been out of control.

    More generally, the problem is caused by global heating, and as long as we keep pushing global heating that problem is likely to spread.

    Increase in patient deaths in nursing homes

    *[US] government report says private equity [purchases of] nursing homes led to 11% increase in patient deaths.*

    The amended headline called these purchases "investments", but I think that word is as false as perfume on a turd.

    Error in ad made by bullshit generator

    Google used its bullshit generator to make an ad for its bullshit generator, and the ad had a glaring factual error, which Google had to use human editing to fix.

    Key national security position pick

    *[The underminer]'s pick for key national security position linked to far-right figures.*

    We can expect him, if approved, to develop a blind spot against crimes planned by right-wing extremists. That would be quite convenient for anyone who in the future commits crimes at the behest of a right-wing extremist official.

    Autocrats more dangerous second time in office

    *Aspiring autocrats … are always more dangerous the second time in office.

    Calls for Syria's sanctions to be lifted

    *Defector [from Assad's army] who exposed Assad’s brutality calls for Syria sanctions to be lifted.*

    Corrupter tried to fire US election commission chair

    *US election commission chair says the corrupter tried to fire her illegally.*

    Fossil fuel extraction in national monuments

    The wrecker proposes to let allow fossil fuel extraction in national monuments. That could poison the wildlife in the short term, but in the long term the world's fossil fuel policy is to let the billionaires make civilization collapse.

    Wrecker and Netanyahu not above the law

    *Who will show [the wrecker] and Netanyahu that they're not above the law? It has to be Europe.*
