I keep seeing people say Musk “failed” in his government takeover. No, he did not fail. He shut down investigations into his businesses, he garnered huge contracts, and he stole the personal data of everyone in the US. That’s not a “failure.” This motherfucker won, and won big.

@ every commentator / consultant who wrote an op-ed about how this book is proof that the masses are enormously interested in the story of Biden’s decline

Even before latest thing I've been telling people for months Joni Ernst is way more vulnerable next year than people think. Dems should be investing a lot right now laying the ground work in the state.

Any chance people have to sabotage this Palantir encroachment should be taken. It's been obvious for years that Palantir is an evil pox. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/t...

SVG is right about int foul gambit

Which is the criminal element preying on good people cuz you just described the GOP

The flipside to this claim for global American legal domain is the implicit assumption that any Americans living in Europe or elsewhere outside America who criticise or resist the Trump administration can and should be targeted by US law enforcement

one thing about filling the elite ranks of society with eogimaniacs who cheated their way to the top is that, even if they recognize the negative sum implications of living in a corrupt kleptocracy, they all erroneously assume they will be far above average at navigating it and benefit anyway

The main reason it's difficult to defeat Republicans in this country is that the far left hates the center left more than it hates Republicans, and the center left hates the far left more than it hates Republicans.

The “Big Beautiful Bill” is disastrous. It will harm working families, low-income Americans, and the millions of people who rely on public assistance to make ends meet. Trump continues to inflict chaos, and Republicans are letting him get away with it. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Of 14,777 unique articles on the NYT's homepage over the 310 days from 1/1/24 to Election Day, 293 articles–almost one a day–focused on Biden’s age compared with just 27 articles focused on Project 2025, a ratio of 10.9 to one mediabiasdetector.seas.upenn.edu/blog/new-yor...

It wasn't meant to be effective it was meant to set fire to shit and snatch all of the data. And he now has it.

Wow borderline shocked they’re still playing “turn down for what” Have there been no sample-able hip-hop media in the last dozen years

While it appears we are plummeting into the abyss this is a trick of perspective, in fact all the non-abyss parts of the universe are hurling away from us

Nembhard is sn assassin

That was clever. Not sure I had ever noticed a coach before using his mandatory TV timeout for a challenge. talk bout playing with house money

It’s a bummer how prophetic Elliott Smith’s ‘Junk Bond Trader” has becomeof out entire world “Better Sell It While You Can”

I can see situations where the DSCC chair properly threatens Dems out of line with the Dem base. Promoting crypto is not one of those issues. It's something a handful of donors want; the base considers it a scam and the "crypto policy" more gifts for billionaires. Gillibrand should be removed.

Sandy Hook was very clarifying. If we weren't going to do anything after something so nakedly horrible, we were never going to do anything.

So Mark Jackson’s iconic catchphrase implies his mom was a promiscuous woman? Is she cool with that?

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

It's a tragic fact that three Democratic cancer patients over age 70 who ran in November could have stopped this bill if they had lived -- or if they had stepped aside for younger candidates

Two back door layups and a put back slam in OT had me wondering if the Knicks were gassed

Guess the offense/defense switch finally broke down
