The universe speaks in mysterious ways.

A guy with his mind fried by ketamine and a 24/7/365 diet of Nazi shitposts is inside the federal government’s general payments system canceling whatever he personally decides looks like fraud while taking legal advice from his own busted AI chatbot, that’s the status report?

@wired.com: “6 young men—all apparently between the ages of 19 and 24 who have little to no government experience are now playing critical roles in Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)” & are heading up Musk’s hostile takeover of our government www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Hey. Here are the names of the unauthorized dudes who are creeping into government computers: The engineers are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. These are the DOGE boys.

Thank you to the Biden/Harris Administration for yet another amazing benefit for all Americans: “Medical debt will be removed from consumer credit reports for all Americans under a final rule announced Tuesday by Vice President Kamala Harris.” (h/t @19thnews.bsky.social)

I had to go look this up in the Twitter archives to confirm it’s real... ...and it is. Breathtaking.

Why can’t Democrats understand this? We lost in November because Americans desperately wanted a slate of policy moves never discussed during the campaign that Trump somehow knew were what folks who publicly said everything was about the economy _really_ wanted: invading Greenland, Mexico, and Panama

She does not have the jurisdiction to make this decision. The report should be released immediately.

If the 11th circuit overturns Cannon on the Jack Smith report, and Trump files for an emergency administrative stay with SCOTUS, guess which justice can issue the administrative stay unilaterally?

Watching live news coverage of the Pacific Palisades fire and Steve Guttenburg appears out of the smoke to provide a PSA.

fascinated by a rhetorical strategy i see all the time now, which is making up an extreme edge case to argue against doing anything for the public good, and doing this from the putative left.

"When America sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with them. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. And some, I assume, are good people." --Greenland

Just my 2 cents. But my goal is to ignore the trolls. Give them zero attention. Block them if they annoy me. I think the worst thing we can do on this site is re-create the ad hominem/ personal attacks that occur across comments on Twitter/insta/tiktok/ etc

I understand why Republicans beat on Biden who was an extremely successful president. I DO NOT understand why Democrats beat on him as well, given the legacy he is leaving. The GOP, particularly the MAGA wing, is better at self promotion (and self protecting) which explains why they now have power!

My mom was a teacher in the South and she described this kind of endless fad diet approach to education. Every few years they'd have some new scheme they'd have to follow and the response was usually "Make the bare minimum changes to keep admin happy and do whatever seems to work for your class"

AI Bias Meter: Your article is rated VERY BIASED for including FACTUAL INFORMATION about Donald Trump that makes him LOOK BAD. You are being redirected to an UNBIASED article that OMITS RELEVANT FACTS and UNCRITICALLY REPEATS Trump-sympathetic lies. If you still prefer an ECHO CHAMBER, click here.

Watch @katieporter.bsky.social explain how Social Security contributes to the national debt. Hold the GOP accountable no matter who you are. All Americans deserve better. P.S. Social Security has a surplus. If you want to make it more plentiful, tax those over $400,000 in a more meaningful way!

Some of the negative reactions come from people who have witnessed administrations take any excuse to defund whole schools and departments. If you can't see how this will be used by admins to erode TA budgets and how that will impact grad students, I don't know what to say.

Makes so much sense

That Daniel Penny and Daniel Perry and Kyle Rittenhouse and George Zimmerman are all walking around free in the most carceral nation in the world is something that demands a reckoning.

If Trump’s comments this morning about only appointing a special counsel to investigate President Joe Biden if Pam fucking Bondi and Kash fucking Patel “find something” he “did” which was “worthy of investigating” doesn’t send shivers down your spine I don’t know what the fuck will.

A brief script you can feel free to use or expand upon. Thanks so much for asking and calling!

"The scenes today in Damascus—the toppling of statues, the taking selfies of the dictator’s palace—are the same ones that will unfold in Caracas, Tehran, or Moscow on the day the soldiers of those regimes lose their faith in the leadership, and the public loses their fear of those soldiers too"

I’ve never seen anything like the way the world is treating Elon Musk right now. Reading the headlines and watching him at Notre Dame. It’s like all the leaders of business and politics have just accepted that Musk runs America, and the world. No one voted for Musk. Not even MAGA.

Today in 1987, Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev signed the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, the first to ever require verifiable elimination of an entire class of weapons (missiles only, not nuclear warheads). Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew from this treaty on August 2, 2019.

Vogue has long scrubbed any trace of it but I will never, ever forget their 2011 puff piece on Asma al-Assad, 'A Rose in the Desert' www.gawkerarchives.com/asma-al-assa...

I want to watch TV coverage of the live fall of the Syrian regime. CNN is airing a Giuliani documentary, Fox News has a comedian joking about Canada, MSNBC a documentary about migrants So I turned on BBC,which is breathlessly switching between Syria, South Korea demonstrations, and Ghana election

One down. ✅

Can confirm.

Lindy Li is not a “DNC official” in any way shape or form. She is a donor.

You all know that skeet is a slang term for ejaculating, right? Who was the dumbass who thought this was a good name for Bluesky posts?

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget

Bashar, girl, you in danger.

Elon Musk is a corporate raider with an established history of buying up businesses, pushing out the founders, taking credit for their inventions and reshaping those businesses in his own image. His latest raid? The United States of America.

Sounds like The Trump Dogma? Elon Musk is a corporate raider with an established history of buying up businesses, pushing out the founders, taking credit for their inventions and reshaping those businesses in his own image. His latest raid? The United States of America.

Tax them at 70% and end poverty.

I think the question is how much more their MSNBC audience will take of anticipatory obedience.

🤣

New in PN: Trump ran on identity politics and won "Trump built his coalition by stoking shared grievances. He didn’t campaign on making life better for certain identity groups. He campaigned by mobilizing people against ones they loathe and fear."
