The Fire Thibs crowd awfully silent these days.

Planes were briefly “flying blind” into Newark Liberty International Airport last week after a communications blackout occurred. Sources said the outage lasted 90 seconds on April 28th and shook up the on-duty controllers so much that some were placed on “trauma leave.”

Peter Navarro on CNBC reacts to the shrinking GDP number by insisting it's actually good news because if you strip out the effect of tariffs "you have 3 percent growth. So we really like where we're at now."

I know it's not the most important thing here but this story also corroborates one of my biggest theories about these tech guys: they do zero hours of work in a day. They do no work no matter how much they claim to work 14 hours a day. They're just on their phones.

Gerry Connolly asked 70 year old Rep. Stephen Lynch to take up his Oversight responsibilities until the next election. Lynch’s background is…colorful: “Lynch was arrested for drunkenly attacking a group of Iranian students protesting U.S. intervention abroad”

These stories landed today, within 11 hours of each other. This presidential administration is a clear and present danger to the American people.

I honestly didn't think that US Treasury Bonds would lose their status as the world's safest investment in my lifetime. But here we are.

Protest changes the permission structure. It says fascists will not be allowed to proceed unencumbered. And if you didn't think there was anything to be done, a protest shows you many think otherwise.

Protests show that people are paying attention. Protests show that people aren’t going to go along with things. Protests matter.

I get that this is quite a shift but we’re way past the moral victories stage. We need actual wins

BREAKING: Trump admin says it mistakenly deported a Maryland father who had *withholding of removal* back to El Salvador on March 15. Govt told court Monday it won't bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back. "What.The.Fuck..." one govt attorney told me. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc... @theatlantic.com

This piece from @jvl.bsky.social is one of the most important insightful I have read since January 20th 2025.

This is art. 🤗

You gotta fuckin’ fight! You gotta flood the zone! You have to nail them to the wall and pin this abject failure to them relentlessly.

A groundbreaking new study found that the surge in SUVs from 1995 to 2019 reduced Minnesota's highway lane capacity by 9.5%. Less lane capacity --> More congestion Me, in CityLab 🧵

Hossam Shabat, a 23 year old journalist who documented the genocide of his people left a final message. shared by his team.

I think the Atlantic piece is probably the scoopiest scoop of the last few decades. And it has clarified one thing - other than the total idiocy of sending opsec over group chats - Hegseth and Vance have a genuine animosity towards Europe. Something for us all to ponder.

Marco being a coward is the least surprising aspect of all this

27 pages. Of babies. Whose entire understanding of what Earth sounded like was bombs dropping & people screaming at the sky

You cannot make this shit up. Sharing this jaw-dropping story with a gift link -- give it a read.

Hi, I'm the guy who used to oversee the federal government's agency IT telecommunications contracts. This is extremely bad. There is absolutely no need for this. Not only is it a huge security exposure, but the simplest explanation for this is that it is meant to be a security exposure.

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away. They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

The Democratic Party’s problems are not about being moderate or left. That’s a consultant and pundit red herring The problems are in party organization, the culture of “it’s their turn” nominations, candidate recruitment, gerontocracy, inability to shape media topics, and coming off hella lame

Five House Democrats have died in office in the past 11 months.

Bernie's one of the few who gets it. And yeah, he's old as hell like the others but does he seem like it? The guy's still got fight in him, more than Schumer ever had.

it is up to *us* to save the country from fascism, to save the world from fascism hardly anyone in government is going to be brave on our behalf they're cowards who are paid to be cowardly, to hide and make excuses while we're all fed into the fascist woodchipper

At some point, they’ll build a literal gas chamber and I guess maybe then the fever over some folks finally breaks?

The whole thing is important, but listen until the end: the US depends a lot on the flow of capital into the country because it is perceived as the safest port in a storm. Once that is no longer true, a lot of things Americans take for granted go away.

The institutions of the American economy depend on the institutions of American democracy; rule of law, consistent regulation, stability, and all the rest. That’s what’s being destroyed and that’s what risks the *entire economy. Saying that out loud shouldn’t (and can’t) be a risk
