Sums it up

Honestly, starting a rumor that eventually gets debunked but kind of keeps the market level propped up enough to sustain the trading day sounds better than the alternative, I'm giving to Walter Bloomberg's GoFundMe, who's with me

It is 2002. I am 18 years old. We are in a once-in-a-generation economic crisis. It is 2008. I am 24 years old. We are in a once-in-a-generation economic crisis. It is 2020. I am 36 years old. We are in a once-in-a-generation economic crisis. It is 2025. I am 41 years old. We are in a—

Scoop: As federal health agencies are gutted, Kyle Diamantas, a Florida attorney w/ a slim resume + no prior gov't experience, is the new head of food safety at @US_FDA. Turns out, he's Donald Trump Jr.'s hunting buddy, @vanityfair.com is reporting exclusively: www.vanityfair.com/news/story/f... /1

Firings are happening right now at the National Science Foundation. Essential staff are being cut. This isn’t about the budget. If it was, they’d be going after the military (17%) or state appropriations (38%). NSF is 0.7% of the federal budget. All federal employees make up only 4% of the budget.

How long before folks realize that DEI also includes vets? It doesn't just mean brown/black/LGBTQ+ or another minority group these folks want to villianize today

This is why it is and will be so important not to buy into the "don't politicize a tragedy!" line (which, of course, is itself a form of politicizing tragedy). When the bad things happen, people will need to be prepared to make it clear exactly how the degradation of government caused them.

looking back, AOL had it right. 30 hours of internet per month was the right amount.

Me: Things can’t get any worse. The Internet:

I remember when Obama mildly criticized Fox News, the entire journalism world -- hey there, @jaketapper.bsky.social -- rose to its defense. Now Trump is excluding the AP from briefings & all the other media quislings are lining up for their slop without a word of protest.

And “slop” is the right term. I know reporters prize the badge of “White House correspondent” but they’re not getting anything vitally important there. Woodward & Bernstein broke Watergate from the WaPo’s City Desk. They’re just the live audience for Trump’s open mic night ramblings. That’s it.

No they're not. They know exactly what they're voting for: The continued dismantling of our public health system. That's what they want. You know this. Why do we have to do this playacting goldfish brain shit every time.

The biggest scam right wing ecosystem has pulled on Americans is that regulations and oversight is bad. Can there be too much of it. Sure but regulations simply existing isn’t an indicator of inefficiency. Quite often having clear paths to follow is efficient for businesses.

What’s most frightening here is they don’t even feel it necessary anymore to come up with some pretext for bolstering fraudsters, we’re just supposed to take it because they won.

Exactly exactly exactly

a romantic holiday where everyone stops talking and we give each other quiet as a gift

Or… this is the end result of decades of eroding institutions and relentless propaganda that those institutions are broken so when they finally start tearing them down there’s no resistance.

We’re on day 11 yall.

Wow. it must feel terrible when someone takes something you made and uses it without permission or payment

… what the fuck

This is the endpoint of "running government like a business" - taking a bunch of your money and then either telling you to fuck off or not even bothering to answer the phone if something goes wrong.

Govt should provide healthcare. Omg left wants socialism. Govt should buy TikTok Omg yes!!

Because lots of people are falsely claiming that Jack Smith didn't tell us what he was doing--he successfully fought to make the vast majority of the factual narrative that appears in his report available BEFORE the election, and you just didn't notice. www.emptywheel.net/2025/01/14/t...

great ideas, this guy should run for president or something

We should have known this was the wrong timeline when the British started making cooking shows
