This sociopath destroyed countless lives and made life worse for millions of Americans, sneering at them as he indulged his narcissistic impulsivity. But now he has feelings. What are they and will he feel better soon? We asked in a six-part series. Today in the New York Times

Grift all the way down

These people should not be in positions of responsibility; they sure as hell should not be governing.

How do these dipshits not understand that AI quite literally makes up sources? Scratch that — these dipshits don’t know what citations are real and fake because they have no expertise in the field. Their job is solely to break shit.

Oh look. The Press Secretary is lying again

ICE’s Gestapo 👨‍✈️ ☠️ 🚔 tactics… …aimed at TOURISTS 😳 … …have resulted in the following countries issuing: 🚨 TRAVEL ADVISORY WARNINGS 🚨 …to their citizens considering traveling to the USA. 🚫 Canada 🇨🇦 Denmark 🇩🇰 Finland 🇫🇮 Germany 🇩🇪 UK 🇬🇧 Ireland 🇮🇪 Netherlands 🇳🇱 Australia 🇦🇺

Not today, Satan.

Gonna give y'all some freebie headlines: MUSK DEPARTS, LEAVING TRAIL OF DESTRUCTION, DEFICITS, AND DEATHS MUSK SCORECARD: EMPTY PROMISES, FEDERAL WORKFORCE BRAIN DRAIN MUSK'S LEGACY: CAREER CIVIL SERVANTS REPLACED WITH INCOMPETENT WHITE NATIONALISTS DOGE HARMS WILL PERSIST FOR GENERATIONS

A whole pile, would be my guess.

How much private and governmental data has he stolen on his way out the door?

TACO.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

This policy, which is so real it was published on the State Department's actual website and not its Substack, is about as bad a policy as one could imagine for American national security and prosperity. The Rubio of 4 months ago would call it insane. Which it is. www.state.gov/releases/off...

Exactly

This is a fact. Along with this must be the recognition that the elements in the GOP bringing on this decline need to be seen as the toxic agent it is. Did Germany allow nazis to participate in its government after WWII? No.

It’s generational damage

I don’t understand this phrasing from CBS - “Musk said he believes the legislation “increases the budget deficit”” I mean, it does. That’s just, y’know, a fact. It’s not a belief thing.

For many years, ICE has agreed not to deport certain people for humanitarian reasons, including this mother of three with no criminal record who has strong ties to her community. Now the Trump admin needs "easy" deportations; so they're revoking stays of removal without any warning at all.

4-year-old Bakersfield girl facing deportation could die within days of losing medical care - Los Angeles Times Don’t ever tell me that Christians support the GOP. There is nothing Christian or Christ-like about this. Just plain old cruelty and callousness:

Censorship: www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Biden tried to make community college free, but the Republicans blocked him. Because of Trump's dementia, he can't remember this and apparently most Republicans have caught his dementia.

So a respected journalist warned the nation that the Trump administration is a threat to free speech and, true to form, its state media outlet warns that there will now surely be retribution by the administration against that same journalist and his network for his act of free speech.

Rage and resentment are killing the great American road trip. On this week's More to the Story, we talk to @sarahkendzior.bsky.social about how her new memoir on America’s political turmoil is really a love letter to the country.

Awful: Trump just blamed foreign students for taking the slots of American kids. But the cuts in the House GOP bill he's pushing could cost hundreds of thousands of working class kids their route to college. Those two things are connected. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/1957...

That’s a lede @adamserwer.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

By now it should be clear that the Trump administration intends to use the power of the state to crush every institution that stands in its way. There is no refuge in compliance. There will only be more demands, threats, and targets. We can sit and watch it happen. Or we can unite against it.

Writing this op-ed in the US can get you jailed and deported

AKA corruption.

The technical assessment is that it will be a complete fucking nightmare. Foreign students are a big part of those campuses as well.

No, seriously, why interview him?

Yep. On the other hand, if we cleanse students of wrongthink in our Universities, what could possibly go wrong? I thought GOP was against indoctrination? Only if they’re not the ones doing it, I suppose. 🤡

Worth reading. Scott Pelley’s Commencement speech at Wake Forest commencement.news.wfu.edu/2020s/c2025/...

‘Weary’ and slurring Trump sparks fresh panic over cognitive decline at West Point graduation. The ‘Irish Star’ is providing better coverage of Donald Trump’s decline than the New York Times and the Washington Post. www.irishstar.com/news/us-news...

GOOD FOR SCOTT PELLEY OF CBS NEWS. “Our sacred rule of law is under attack,” Pelley began his message. “Journalism is under attack. Universities are under attack. Freedom of speech is under attack, and insidious fear is reaching through our schools, our businesses and into our private thoughts.”

This. Laughable.

FYI to media outlets, you're misleading your readers if you repeat this at face value. There's no lawful way for him to redirect these grants elsewhere. It's a lie to distract from how the GOP budget guts educational funding, including Pell Grants at trade schools.
